dean of the Latin-American diplo-

en- route to Havana today on
what may prove to be an i'm

HER BLACK EYE
HELD ORIGIN Of
ELSIE 3 RIFT

NEW YORK, April 27.-A
black eye, called a wedding gift
from a friend Of her ex-husband,
Joseph Schildkraut, is one of the
causes underlying the rift in the
marital alliance of Elise Bartlett,
actress, and her present husband,
Horace Liveright, publisher.
Miss Bartlett and Liveright
we're married last December and
it was during the wedding cele-
bration at the Liveright pent-
house that Schildkraut's friend
is said to have hit the bride in
the eye, telling her it was a
present from the ex-spouse.
Liveright denies any woman
has come between him and his
wife, but she mentions an un-
named girl in her divorce papers.
The publisher says the rift was
due to clash of temperaments.
Liveright had wanted to marry
the actress for eight years.
Finally his wife divorced him and
Elsie got a decree of freedom
from Schildkraut.

CLERGY CLASH
OVER ISSUE Of .
REMARRIAGE

HARTFORD. Conn, April 27
UNSO.-Clashing opinions on
the issue of whether the church
should sanction remarriage Of
divorced persons echoed today
among some 200 clergymen here
for the fifty-eighth congress Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church.
Rt. Rev. William G. Mcdowell,
bishop of Alabama, told the as
semblage at the opening session
that for The Church to re-
marry anyone who has living
partner would falsify the mar
rage VOWS and shut the door to
repentance.
Rt. Rev. Herman Page, bishop
of Michigan, said he favored re-
marriage by divorced persons. To
hold that the one objectionable
sin is failure in the marriage re-
lationship" is not in accordance
with Christ's mind, Bishop Page
declared.
If conditions are made too Sc
we're, the attitude of the church
will be ignored. he warned. Rev.
John Mockridge, of Philadelphia,
sided with Bishop Mcdowell.
Following communion, the
clergymen heard a discussion Of
"What should be the relationship
of the church to economic
changer" by Spencer Miller, jr.,
of the National Council, and Rev.
DR.. j. Howard Melish Of Brook

All Souls Church
Open Sunday To
Negro Members

NEW YORK. - The business of
placing locks on the doors of All
Souls Church has been discontinued
by the white vestrymen as futile.
There is no use putting locks
on said one of the members, DE
cause the Rev. Mr.. Dodd merely has
them knocked off. We will have to
find another method"
The vestrymen, however, have cut
off the pay of the rector and the
eolored members are circulating sub
seription cards of 25 cents each to
pay the rector's salary. The fight in
the church started when the whites
sought to hold segregated services
for colored members.
An ultimatum warning him not to
enter the church Sunday was served
on the rector but was ignored.
Rev. Mr.. Dodd said that somebody
crept up to his studio and slipped
the ultimatum from the vestry under
the door. The letter, signed by Man
uel j. Rourke, clerk of the vestry
served notice on the rector that
unsafe" orders had been signed by
heads of the bureau of buildings and
the bureau of water supply, gas and
electricity

Other Women
Blamed For
Robson Rift

LONDON.-While Mrs. Paul Rob
eson in her book about her illustri-
Gus husband referred to her knowl-
edge of his affairs with other wom-
en-, her close friends do not believe
that she would have filed suit for
divorce had it not been that these
indscretions were committed more
openly as time went on.
There also have been reports that
Mrs. Robson found some letters,
allegedly sent her husband by a
young white actress who played in
"Othello" with him. Another very
wealthy white woman who. it is re-
ported, followed Robson to Amer
lea on two occasions, is alleged to
have spread reports that she was
going to marry the actor-singer, long
before the divorce suit was filed.
Robson, however, it is said re-
liably, says now that he is not going
to marry this white woman. Reports
which connected Robeson's name
with that of Lady Mountbatten are
aid to be erroneous, as she was in
stead very friendly with Leslie Hut
ehinson, one of London's leading
entertainers. Editors of newspapers
here, by making it appear that Rob
eson instead of Hutchinson was the
man involved, enabled Lady Mount
5atten to extrcate herself from an
embarrassing position. Lady Mount
batten won libel suit against a
London paper for using her name in
connection with the case.
According to the court docket, the
Robson divorce case is scheduled
for a hearing soon.

WASHINGTON, D. Con- April
l, 1880, male Negro gainful work
ers numbering 3,662,S92, or 80.2 per
cent of the Negro men ten years of
age or older, were engaged in viz
tually all of the gainful occupations
listed in the report recently COM
piled by the Bureau of Census based
on the returns of the 18th census.
Only four occupations in which
white males were engaged had no
Negro workers. There were no street
railway superintendent nor officials,
no manager or officials of air trans
portation, no proprietor of stock
yards nor of grain elevators (al-
though in 1920 three Negroes owned
grain elevators) and no apprentices
of dressmakers and milliners, al
though there were 16 male white in
this occupation, and there were six
male dressmakers and seamsters.
This reflects definite occupational
progress for the decade since 1920.
Not only have the numbers of men
employed in the several occupations
increased but Negroes are listed in
increasing numbers in supervisory
positions and positions requiring skill
and training. They also are employed
