GALLOWAY TO PLAY
WHITE SUPERVISOR WHO STOLE
SCHOOL FUNDS TO SERVE TERM

Jackson, Miss (CNS) The Mississi-
ppi Supreme Court on last Monday
affirmed the five year penitentiary
sentence of Bura Hilbun, former su-
pervisor of Negro education in Missi-
ssippi. on charges Of misappropriat-
ing $51. 600 Of Rosenwald funds allot-
ted to Mississippi for school mainten-
ance. The court decision declared that
evidence was without conflict, and it
showed the appellants guilt beyond
all reasonable doubt.
Attorneys for Hilbun attempted to
argue that "the donor of the Rosen-
wald funds had never raised his voice
in criticism of the manner in which
he administered the funds. therefore
nobody else had any right to COM
plain, and that there could be no en-
bezzling Of this fund because it was
a gift to the Negro children of this
state" The Supreme Court of Missi-
ssippi disregarded this weak and
filmsy evidence.

homicide" Mrs. Greer contended she
shot him after he beat her in a drum
ken rage.
Mrs. Greer, a native Of Germany,

WESTERN UNIVERSITY CLOSES
AFTER SO YEARS OF STRENUOUS
ACTIVITIES
by r. A. Adams
(For the Literary Service Bureau)

Fire in their eyes and determin-
alton in their hearts" might aptly des-
cribe the attitude of the trustees of
Western University, as they discussed
its affairs and. expressed their indig-
nation and voiced their protests a.
gainst what they considered a foul
blow aimed at the life Of the institu-
ton.
The concrete cause was dissatisfac-
ton with the adjustment of the af-
fairs of the Industrial Department,
supported by the State Of Kansas and
operated under the supervision of
Western university.
The Objectionable features of this
arrangement are: ~ the action Of
the Governor Of Kansas in placing the
control of this department. in the
hands of persons who were antagon-
istic to the existing relationship be-
tween the AME. Church and the
State. in its operation; (2) election
to the Craftsmanship of this board of
trustees a man who had expressed
the determination to bring about the
enforcement" of these interests; 81
action of this board in placing as su-
p~erintendent Of this department a
man who had been d~iscredited and
penalized. by his church, for gross
misconduct, and who, for that reason,
was considered unfit to direct the liv-
es Of young people; (4) the discount
eous treatment accorded Bishop Gregg
by the administration and by the new
management of this school; 81 the
ruthless grabbing control of the af-
fairs before the expiration Of the
school year, with its effect upon the
commencement exercises.
The resolution which closed the
school was offered by a committee
composed of Revs. T. W. Greene. Jr..
J. A. Chandley, S. R, Stanley, R. A,
Adams. w. D. wilkins. and it read:
WHEREAS we consider it impos-
sible successfully to operate Western
University under conditions brought
about by the new management of the
State Industrial Department.
BE 1T RESOLVED: That it is
the sense of the trustee board here
assembled, that all operations at Yves
tern University be suspended until
such time as it may be deemed advis-
able by the trustees to such
operations.

R~enovizing Cam
pain Gaining Head
way

Gaining speed from news of the
500. 900 credit pool formed by Omaha
banks to assist ~homeowners in financ-
ing Improvements, the "Renovize O.
maha" campaign went into high gear
this week, as nearly a thousand wom-
improvers. began a house to house
anvas Of the city. The women i'm
provers are leaving "Renovize ON
aha" literature, to pave the way for
made %nvasse who will take the
field next week and secure renovizing
pledges from h~ouseholders and bust
ness men.
Formation of the 500. 900 pool.
which will be loaned out to household
ers for r~enovizing purposes at six
per cent interest and with q limit Of
$500 per loan, was hailed BY the Re
novizing leaders as breaking the ice
jam of credit which has retarded home
improvements in recent years. 1t
presages a successful campaign, ac-
cording to the Renovizers, who point
to Washington, D. c., where similar
Cooperative bank action put over the
renovizing drive with a bang.
The women improvers of the re-
novizing campaign can be identified
through the official Omaha v
ton key badge, with a pale green rib
bon attached. In their v they
have been instructed by General
Chairman Kirk Greggs to stress the
relief aspect Of the renovizing drive.
Greggs points out that jobs created
now will tighten the load on Omaha
Charitable agencies next winter.
