treatment of Negroes who are unem-

The protest reads as follows.
1--WE Negro and white workers of
Birmingham known as the WoodIawn
Grievance Committee protest against
the action of the Red Cross in ship

where they are locked up at night like
convicts and cruely treated, made to

this vicious action stop.
zone Negro unemployed worker and
his family escaped by hiding under
a load OF hay after his wife had been
badly beaten the third day after their
arrival in Mississippi. The Red Cross
gained his consent to being moved
by false promises of better living con
ditions and also by cutting off all
relief TO his family in case Of their
refusal to go.
'We demand the shipment of UNI

itself, he said,
he had an open mind. He was not
sure whether the first trial was fair
or not, claiming not to know enough
about it. He conceded reluctantly
that, in the heat Of the first few
days excitement the crowd at
Scottsboro two years ago might not
have given the boys an equal
chance. He thought that If a fair
trial, which he thinks the present
one will turn out to be, proves the
boys innocent they should be freed,
If guilty they Should get what's

MILITIA COMMANDER

OVER 500 NEGROES
Captain Bureson Freely Admits Has Heard
Remarks Those Niggers Amt Worth A
Trial, and Threats to Kill Negroes

His whole approach on the Negro
question Is very typical Of the pa-
ternal attitude of the local intel
hgenzia: IF the niger knows his
place and keeps it, we will keep
ours; if he treats us right, we will
treat him right: if he is good, we
will take care of him"
He freely admits that he and his
men have overheard irresponsible
elements" remark: Those niggers
amt worth trial." and Standing
right here could shoot them full
of lead" And quite correctly he
adds that this is not yet mob ac-
ton, that organization is needed
TO get up a mob"
KNEW LYNCH
PLANS
When the Supreme Court OF the
United States reversed the death
sentence of the Scottsboro court, he
knew personally about group that
was beginning to organize for a
lynching should the case again
come up in the court at Scottsboro.
Scottsboro is only about so miles
from Decatur-not quite a two
hour ride by automobile. The Cap
tain fastened to add that the or
ganization had been discontinued
since then, but he was nervous
thinking OF such a possibility and
of the decision he will have to make
should it come about. Huntsville,
the home town OF Victoria Price
and Ruby Bates, also is possible
center for the organization of
might riders" let alone Morgan
County itself which has all the
timber ready to be kindled.
ONE must not forget that the
v South and its decades-long sys-
tenn of oppression of the Negro
people is on trial before the whole
world, that the mass movement has
put the South on the defensive.
Now that we are beginning to reap
even greater victories as O result of
mass protest, there must be no let
up in this movement, for upon it
will depend not only a victory in
court, but a victory against possible
lynch terror.

1Qe SOuuity OF uASlC VecnnlQue from
q purely orchestral standpoint and the
musical intelligence which animates it,
makes perfect medium for the trans
mission Of the noblest form Of the art to
which Il Is dedicated. Yesterdays per-
formance was marked by o dignity of
approach and an analytical concept
that was imhued with the highest rev.
erence for the work undertaken. Proper
balance OF contrast, an almost mathe-
matical calculation as to the limit OF
the effect to be executed, superbly
resonant tone and finesse Of interpreta-
ton were the outstanding character
istics Of the varied program.
DR.. Koussevitzky made his dynamic
personality more and more felt as the
program progressed until In the mag
ntficent Eroica Symphony Of Beethoven
he reached Q point of inspiration that
brought forth a responding fire from
the musicians In one of the most I'm
preSsive renditions the famous symphony
has ever had. It would be interesting
to hear again the first numbers Of the
program also alive with the personal
enthusiasm which developed later on.
As it was. 1t would seem that the very
elevation and purity of outlook. which
was the predominant note OF yester-
DAYS performance, leaned more 10 the
scientific than the emotional, and that
the youthful puising quality which is
ever alive in music had been subdued
in the striving for higher things.
There were moments throughout the
program when the wish would intrude
that the barriers De lowered to let
through less serious handling. It was
not the fault Of the program, for there
was an excellent balance of type and
mood from Pierne's advertisement"
to the Beethoven symphony No. g."
The advertisement" is not Pierne

PIANIST GIVES CONCERT
In UNIVERSITY SERIES.
Harry Gil-Smythe Featured in I'm
usual Program Before
a Large Audience.

A large group of music lovers greeted
and applauded Harry Gil-Smythe, pian-
ist, Tuesday night In the Rankin Memo
rial Chapel. This was the second recital
Of the Howard University concert series
and the audience redoubled its enthusi-
astic applause because of the fact that
Mr.. Gil-Smythe is an alumnus of the
Howard University School of Music.
On the whole, the program was well
arranged and balanced. and If it ap-
peared monotonous at times, this was
due 10 Mr.. Gil-Smythe's disregard of
the limitations of the piano, thus result
ing In his taking his slow tempos to
the extreme. Two of the group Of
Chopin preludes suffered because OF this
fact, those in B fat major and B minor,
and even the great c minor, with its
rich harmonic chords, might have re-
tanned and strengthened In dramatic,
solemn and heroic mood If the tempo
had been slightly faster.
The program opened with the Busoni
arrangement Of the praeludium, fuge
and allegro in E fiat major, by Bach.
to which MIR. Gil-Smythe gave an ac-
curate and authentic reading. This was
followed by characteristic sonata OF
Scarlatti's, which displayed to good ad-
vantage the artists clarity and pre-
cision in his interpretations. The Sec
ond group opened with what many
consider Chopin's finest and most
virile, "Nocturne, Op. 48, No. l." and
this was undoubtedly the high spot
OF the program The rise to the dra-
matte and intense climax in the mid
die choral-like section and the SUBJ
sequent return to the quieter but noble
first theme, with its new agitated ac-
compartment. was given thoroughly
artistic Interpretation. This was fol-
lowed by a serenade, by Stojowski, and
four preludes from "Op. 28," by Chopin.
The serenade was well played, but We
fail to see the logic or artistic reason
for inserting it in any possible group
of numbers by Chopin, and its in
cluSion in such group only strength
ened any waning regard and appre-
ciation on our part Tor the works Of
the great Polish master. The third
group contained a characteristic Span
lsh dance from De Falla's opera, La
Vie Breve," and Prkoflews Suggestion
Diabolique." The program was closed
with the ever popular concert arabesque
on Strauss Blue Danube by Schulz
EVler.
Prolonged applause greeted the art
the audience was plainly disappointed
tst's playing of these two groups and
the audience was plainly disappointed
that his modesty did not permit the
rencitions of encores. His playing
throughout displayed an adequate
technique and thorough training and
preparation. When additional expert
ences have combined to temper, mold
and enlarge his artistic concepts Mr.
Gl-Smythe should emerge a still more
capable artist. w. B. A.

THE Columbia Players are to be con-
graduated! Last nights presenta-
tion of the Lonsdale comedy "On Ap-
proval" was the most attractive bit of
amateur acting we have ever seen on
q local stage. We cordially advise any
one who is on the lookout for bright
and amusing evening in the theater to
drop in at Pierce Hall tonight and see
what these Columbians are doing.
The play has been undertaken with
JOY, abandon and complete under
standing. In its cast Of only four you
will find Eileen Fowler, who Is, tenn
porarily at least, the nearest thing to
Ina Claire that Washington has dis
covered in long, long time. Miss
Fowler is so good she Is honestly worth
travelling miles to see. She Is hand
some, shrewd, cunning (not in the cute
sense}, and is magnifcently endowed
with the attributes of first-rate satir-
ical comedienne. She carried the play
forward last night with intelligence and
foresight, and when she was around
you could almost swear that you were
only three rows away from Broadway
stage.
Robert Miller was the other partic-
ular bright spot of the evening--al-
though Dorothea Lewis (but for q GER
tain squareness of the feet) and s.
Allen Foster, were not far behind Mr..
Miller's scenes with Miss Fowler were
handled with great ease and good hu-
NOR. Incidently these two are about
as engaging couple as you will find.
It Is hard to say why this comedy,
directed by Orris Holland, was as good
as it was. 1t had the rare distinction,
however, Of putting its audience quite
at its ease and In sending it home with
smile and a chuckle. Few companies
can do that these days.
