Appeal to Give
Aid to Liberia

The rising tide Of interest on the
part of colored Americans in the
tangled web of Liberals affairs, be-
gan to make itself felt in Washing
ton this week. Letters and tele-
grams are reaching President Roose-
welt and the State Department, urg-
ing that the United States take
some initiative in helping the little
African republic.
Evidences that the women of the
country are going to enlist in the
cause became apparent when the
President received from DR.. Fitz-
butler Waring, president OF the
National Association of Colored
Women, the following telegram:

DR.. Waring who reports that she
has found an overwhelming senti-
ment among the outstanding wo-
men Of her organization in favor Of
Liberia, said that the body would
make this one fore Of the civic en-
deavors which it engages in on a
grand scale.
Baptist Join Drive
DR.. L. K. Williams, president of
the National Baptist Convention,
whose church under the lead rship O.
DR.. J. E. East, is doing extensive
missionary work in Liberia, called
attention to an interesting fact.
"Liberia", said Dr. Williams, "is
practically the only country, where
Negro missionaries are privileged
to work. In the rest of the CONT
nent dominated by the white Euro
pean nations, Negro religious work
ers are not tolerated. The minds of
the natives are being shaped by
white influences for white purpo-
ses."
Wants Liberia On Record
DR.. Williams said that he believed
however, that Liberia should make
the first step and made public a
cablegram which he had dispatched
to President Barclay Saturday. The
cable read:

YOUNG DOCTORS
FIGHT FOR JOBS
IN Tenn. MEETING

According to the statements and
reports made turnout the country
by the younger physicians a battle
roval may be expected at the Ma
tional Medical Association when it
meets in Nashville. Tenn. August
1918. The younger medics express
themselves as thoroughly disguised
with what they term the "inane''
manner in which the affairs Of the
national body has thus far been
handled.
Specifically. these younger physi-
clans seek an increase Of annual dues
in order that the official organ
might be brought out monthly and
thus aid the doctors to more easily
keep abreast of the times; the es-
tablishment Of the proposed Veter-
ans hospital which thus far is only
talk; and they further charge an en-
tire lack of interest on the part Of
the present officials.

TEACHERS PAY
UNCHANGED FOR
ENSUING YEAR
May Share 100000 Sur
plus on Sums Owing for
80 Is Indication.

Salaries for indianapolis school
teachers for 1934-35 will be the same
as for last year, the school board
decided yesterday.
Hope that the teachers will re-
ceive pay for five of the nineteen
days pay they lost at the end of the
1928 school year, was given in
the announcement that a $780, 900
balance in the 1884 budget is antici-
pated.
A full pay roll for the present
year is assured, the school commits
Sioners announced.
Recommendation that the new
salary schedule include only reduc-
tons provided by the 1929 legisla-
ture was received from the Fedora
ton of indianapolis Public School
Teachers.
Although the act provided that
the teachers should be reduced an
average of about per cent, to meet
budget requirements, the board in
creased this reduction to II per cent
in subsequent proceedings.
The board pointed out that the
request for an addition TO the school
budget of $400, 900 for salaries would
necessitate a tax rate increase of
approximately cents. AS they felt
a tax increase at this time would be
impossible, the board recommended
the same salary schedule for 1884
IS.

Bankruptcy Act III-AdviSed,

WASHINGTON, May 2-Senator
Frederick Van Nuys celebrated May
day by conducting his first fight
from the senate floor.
Like those staged by his Repub-
hcan colleague from Indiana, Sen
ator Arthur r. Robinson, Senator
Van Mugs battle is against an ad-
ministration bill.
He made vigorous attack on the
municipal bankruptcy measure yes
terday and expected to continue to
fight the bills passage today.
Under terms of the measure a
municipal government could take
advantage of the bankruptcy laws
and scale down its obligations upon
petition Of IS per cent of the cred
ltors.
Senator Van Mugs was chairman of
the subcommittee handling the bill
and in opposition to majority of
the committee and despite support
for the bill from the administration
he brought TO the floor a minority
report against passage.
I am opposed TO the measure
because think it IS ill-advised both
in principle and in thought" SEN
ator Van Mugs began in his maiden
speech after a year in the upper
house.
Il am opposed to the measure be-
cause it is the opening wedge IN
reputation Of state and federal OBJ
legations. There are certain ele-
mentary and academic principles
upon which a government is strong
or an individual is strong. do
not believe that any man ever sue
ceeded in life unless he took as one
Of tie academic and fundamental
principles of his daily life the de-
termination to meet all his honest
debts. I do not believe that any
government can endure in this
country which violates that simple,
fundamental, academic principle, the
will to meet and pay its honest
debts2
Declaring that he understood that
the bill is 'predestined to become a
law" Senator Van Mugs flayed ad-
ministration backing of the measure
and fellow senators who followed
such advice.
Il care not who is behind this
proposed legislation" he snapped.
Il care not who has been called to
the telephone here and been whipped

into line for the passage of this
iniquitous bill. Personally, I would
rather retain my self respect, my
loyalty to my own people, and my
adherence to my convictions than
to be registered among the favored
few who have been whipped into

call while we are in session here

the roof of the home of Clifton
Stalker, near here, Ellie Evans
found a shingle with two 38-caliber
bullets imbedded in it. One of the
bullets had a surface which appar-

made.
The roof has been on the home

at a time when all red cedar
