In the Realm Of
Broadcastins
BY STANLEY BIGELOW

The harmonica, or the lowly
mouth organ as some would have
us call it, has heretofore been
considered an instrument for
masculine use only.
- But pretty blonde Mary Joan
Davis proves to the contrary.
Miss Davis, who has appeared
on the stage and in the movies,
is known around Station WMAL
as the night hostess. But Violet
Wachter, director of the Doors"
program, discovered her dormant
harmonica talent.
Consequently. Miss Davis will
play her harmonica over the air
tonight on the Doors" program,
which will present a skit entitled
"Home on the Range"
The pretty hostess, whose Off
cial duties consist of receiving
visitors and generally acting
pleasant, has on numerous occa-
sions stepped from her official
role to the microphone.

BOISE, Idaho, October 19.-Estab-

sia would enable us to deal more salts
factoriy with other Pacific states, in
cluding Japan" Senator William E.
Borah declared yesterday in an address
to the Boise Junior College student
body.
Moreover, he said, IF this country
we're on friendly relations with Russia,
1t would improve possibilities OF dis
armament.
Russia has the most substantial gov
ernment growing out Of the World
War" the Senator continued.
The closer capitalistic government IS
brought in relationship to Communism,
he said, the more rapidly Communism
will recede.
I'VE gain nothing by being aloof," ne
said, "and by recognition We gain need
ed trade, for Russia is the greatest
potential undeveloped market for goods
from the United States.
while we are holding aloof, other
nations-France, Poland, Italy, Great
Britain-are enlarging their trade agree
mentS.
According to newspaper dispatches,
q few months ago Japan indicated to
the United States that the presence Of
our Navy in the Pacific was disturbing.
Had we been on entirely friendly rela-
tions with Russia, it would have placed
us in a better position to deal with the

Minute Movie
Review
Mayor of Hell

This film has been ballyhooed as
another epic expose Of prison life;
this time it is the juvenile reform
school that comes in for exposure
and the producers have rounded
up all the old "bezprizorni" of the
Our Gang Comedies, put long
pants on them, given them lines
in every accent: Jewish, Negro,
italian, with special emphasis on
their racial differences, sent them
to a Reform School-all TO what
end? Well, we learn for one
thing that Reform Schools can
be reformed overnight, from hell
to a paradise by sentimental ward
heelers when pretty reform school
nurses plead for the unhappy VIC
tins. All you have to do is send
the regular warden away on a
vacation, fire the prison guards,
set up a juvenile republic in the
interests of the inmates, with a
mayor, chief of police, justice of
the courts, trial by jury-in fact
a miniature democracy" within
the school, abolish discipline, put
the boys to work at trades, ETC.,
etc., and by the time they are
ready to leave school they will be
able to fall right into the nearest
breadline that awaits them with
open arms-good upright citizens
of society. When tougher bologna
on prison life is made, Warner
Brothers will make them. Jimmie
Cagney is worth the price of
admission.

been, is not now and never will Be
recognized in the South"
And this brings us to the inherit
ance Of Mr.. Graves, Of which he is
SO proud.
John Temple Graves,
In book called Liberalism in the
South" by Virginius Dabney Of the
there is an Illuminating passage
about John Temple Graves ar. In
cidentally, the book is a true pic
ture of upper class liberalism In the
South--a picture Of the blacklist ter
ror and reaction. And 1t was Dab
ney himself who suggested that zone
or two" Negroes be put on Virginia
juries, to avoid reversal Of lynch
verdicts.
Dabney, by this and other lens,
belongs to the lynchers' clan himself,
of course, and his theology reflects
itself in his phrases even in such
a demagogic attack on lynching as
the following. But about Graves the
First:
John Temple Graves, an upper
class Southerner," Dabney writes, is
generally regarded as having been
largely responsible for the famous
Atlanta race-riot Of 1906. The At
lanta Evening News, OF which he was
editor, broadcast several extras in
one day proclaiming four successive
assaults on white women by Negro
men in the city, whereas no assault
had been committed. The re-
suit of these news articles, coupled
with an incendiary editorial, was
that feeling was raised to tremen-
dous pitch. A lame bootblack
who was shining mans shoes was
dragged to the sidewalk and beaten
to death. another young Negro was
fatally stabbed with jackkniyes. Sew
eral colored BARRIERS who were peace
fully shaving white customers in
their shops we're killed on the spot.
In all, ten Negroes were massacred
in cold blood, and not one of them
was guilty Of any crime other than
that Of having a black skin. Sixty
others we're wounded.
Vicious Attack on Negroes
Despite his substantial share OF
responsibility for the riot, Graves
continued his editorial policy Of cold
brutality toward the Negro. Several
months after the clash, the Evening
News said concerning the black man
who attacks a white woman:
"'No law of God or man can hold
back the vengeance Of our white men
upon such criminal. If necessary
we will double and treble the law Of
Moses, and hang off-hand the GRIM
inal, or failing to find that a rem
edy, we will hang two, three, or four
of the Negroes nearest to the crime
until the crime is no longer done or
feared in all this Southern land we
1 inhabit and love-

the South that is in the veins Of the
editorial writer of the Birmingham
Age and the Alabama edito-
rial correspondent of the New York
Times.

Labor Defense must get out Of Ala
bama, and leave the courts to carry
out their lynchings and frame-ups
assisted by Southern lawyers and the
N.AA.C.P., undisturbed.
Mr.. Graves latest comment on
lynching appears in the New York
Times, August 20, in connection with
the lynching in Tuscaloosa Of Dan
Pippen, Jr., and A. T. Harden. Mr.
Graves deprecates this lynching bu,
advances interesting reasons.
"Inasmuch as the Negroes at
Tuscaloosa had refused to accept
LID. lawyers for their counsel"
he says, "the crime was as stupid
and impolitic as it was vicious"
In other words, had the court and
militia and gangsters not bodily
elected the LID. lawyers from Tus-
caloosa, had they still had sincere
defenders, the lynching, in Mr.
Graves opinion, would have beer
sensible, politically expedient for the
white Southern ruling class, and JUS
tifiable. Mr.. Graves, of course, i:
lying about the refusal of the I. L. D
counsel. The I. L. D. counsel was re.
jected under the gun, and only under
the most extreme terror conditions
aimed directly at such a refusal.
Praised barrow Steal
On the Scottsboro case, Mr.. Grave:
II has had much to say. He devoted
a column in the New York Times
once, to praise Of Clarence DarroW
for his refusal to defend the Scots
boro boys after taking $4,000 con-
tributed by thousands Of workers te
the NAA.C.P. on the understanding
it would be used for Scottsboro de-
Tense.
Only three weeks ago, in his col
umn called This Morning." in the
Birmingham Age Herald, he quoted
with approval an article by Elmer
Davis, fascist ideologist, who argued
that the N.A.A.CP. alone had "a
legitimate interest in the case" be-
cause "the Negro hoboes hac
never heard of the dictatorship O.
the proletariat; they had never hearc
of Marx or Lenin."
On another occasion, in the Time
again, he said: 1.-THE accused mer
were subjected to regular process O.
law and found guilty. Local opinion
has considered the trial fair one
And he quoted, approvingly again O.
course, from the Montgomery Adver,
tiser, leading lynch organ which
has called repeatedly for the blooc
of the Scottsboro boys, and of LID
lawyers and representatives: There
was no intimidation of the court ant

trial.
