In the field OF government you
must know how the Federal Civil
Service rules requiring candidates
to state their race and submit
their photograph with their appli-
cations have been used to eliminate
Negroes as class from all APP
pointments covered by civil service
above the grades of laborer or
| messenger. An obstinate policy OF
the War and Navy Departments has
| decimated the ranks OF Negro sol
diers and sailors. and effectively
emasculated those still left in the
service of most OF their self-respect

States will seriously regret In the
eyent of another war. You must
know something OF the humiliation
and procrasiination which Negro

sections last winter when they APP

displaccments and other loss OF

MOTHER DYING SEEKS her LONG ABSENT SON IN DETROIT
Detas Win Legal Tilt Against
Ex-Crand Treasurer Mrs. Dingle

New York--Annie L. McCary
Dingle, former Washington girl,
Howard University graduate and
practicing attorney here, who
served as grand treasurer OF Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority from 1925
to 1929, has been ordered by the
N. Y. Supreme Court to turn over
to the grand chapter the sum OF
$3,112. This sum. the order cites,
represents the remainder OF var
ious funds which she Is said TO
have collected from local chapters
during her tenure OF Office. The
action was brought In behalf or
jeanette Jones, as president OF
the grand chapter, and the par
ticulars allege that Mrs. Dingle,
when a new treasurer was elect
ed in 1929, failed to account to her
successor for moneys allegedly
left in her care.
Until five years ago she was
regularly reelected treasurer OF
the Deltas.
There have been efforts to set
tie the alleged shortage quietly, IL
was said, because the organiza-
ton did not desire to embarass
Mrs. Dingle or her child.
A little over year ago, Mrs
Dingle was appointed teacher in
the public schools, and officials
felt that the funds should be re-
paid the treasury.

Oscar DePrleSt Negro
Congressman At Large
: By KELLY MILLER =

When Mr.. DePriest was a can
didate 10 succeed himself, the
friends and advocates OF dis
tinguished local rival made much
OF the point that he was giving too
much attention TO racial matters
in general, and not devoting him
self exclusively 10 his constitu-
ency at home. At the time / made
the point that he was much more
representative OF the First Hi
nois District but that he had a
race-wide constituency The whole
race has come to look up TO Oscar
DePriest as Our Congressman"
charged as II were, with the duty
and responsibility OF looking after
the interest OF the whole race. He
has generously accepted this re-
sponsibility which he has dis
charged with signal success and
satisfaction.
Ordinarily congressman at
large is elected from the whole
state and has no especial district
constituency. He is practically a
third Senator in so far as his
sphere OF Influence and scope OF
his field are concerned. Mr.. De-
Priest has larger constituency
than any other member of Con-
gress. with the possible exception
OF the senators from New York
who divide n constituency OF like
size between them.
DePriest, like any other con-
gresham, is under the pressing
necessity OF serving his district
constituency under penalty of be-
ing supplanted for neglect OF those
upon whose vote he depends for
reelection. He Is too sagacious 9
politician TO neglect his home
fences. But his broader services
have been rendered to his wider
constituency. Three instances viii

l. When the extra appropria-
ton for the heating plant upon
which hinged the fate of the ex-
tension program OF Howard Uni
ersity had been rejected, DePriest
stepped into the breach. and by
unmatched parliamentary finesse,
had the item restored. which en-
abled this national Negro Univer-
sity to carry out its enlarged
plans. This item involved nearly
half a million dollars
2. When the provision for the
Civilian Conservation Camp was
on its passage through Congress.
the ever watchful DePriest pro-
posed an amendment TO the effect
that this agency should be recruit
ed and the workers treated with

lieve that this was the first bit of
legislation since reconstruction
days that carried such a non-dis-
criminatory provision. This has
set the pace for other govern
mental agencies and activities to
follow. The remarkable thing about
the action was that II went through
practically unanimously without
serious dissent from North or
South, Republicans or Democrats.
