ton completely we shall become
stagnant."
Miss Stein, born in Pennsylvania,
has lived in Paris since the turn of
the century. One of her earliest
stories, "Melanctha," had a Negro
woman as the chief character. Her
home in Paris has been the mecca
for intellectuals from all over the
world for twenty years.
In one of her most recent books,
1.-THE Autobiography of Alice t,
Tolxlas," in which Miss Stein tells
the story of her own life, she de-
scribes visits to her home of Paul
Robson. She did not like to hear
him sing spirituals and did not
think he should do so. She felt
that so long as he just visited her,
or her companion, Miss TokIas, he
was simply a man, but Immediate
ly another white person came, she
says, Robson became a Negro.
She expressed the conviction that
the Negro suffered, not SO much
from persecution as from nothing
ness, and the Negroes culture is
narrow, possible of but little dew
elopment, but not primitive.

CATERINA JARBORO
Sings 'AIDA' WITH
CHICAGO OPERA co.

PHILADELPHIA-The Chicago
Opera Company gave aida" FRI
day evening at the Metropolitan
House, with Caterina Jarboro TAX
ing the title role.
Miss Jarboro was in splendid
voice and was complete mistress
of her part. The Nile scene with
its half light, the superb action of
Aida, Rhodames and Amonasro,
the exquisite "Ciel Azurue," sung
by Aida, all combined to make this
scene the gem of the opera.
Amneris, the Egyption princess,
was completely satisfying to the
ears if not to the eyes. One could
feel that the costuming of the. Eth
iopian king was not authentic, for
they were not a savage nation at
the time the story was staged.
However, this interfered not one
whit with his fine support of Miss
Jarboro.
The innovation Of brown Aida
makes one wonder whether an en-
tire brown cast would not make a
more realistic presentation.

branch of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People at the opening of their
Spring Membership Drive, filled
two churches. The meeting was
held Tuesday evening at the Met
ropolitan A.M.E. Church which was
jammed with 5000 people and as
5000 vainly struggled for admis-
sion an overflow meeting was held
at the John Wesley Church where
Charles Edward Russell and Bish-
OPP e. D. w. Jones addressed the
crowd until Mr.. Darrow arrived at
II p. m. The Washington Post re-
ports that at both meetings sub
scriptions and pledges were "re-
ceived in basketfuls.'
Neval H. Thomas, president of
the Washington Branch of the N.
A.A.C.P., introduced Mr.. barrow
who declared that scientists, intel
ligent people and artists were the
friends of the Negro and that only
the morons of the world were his
enemies. Mr.. barrow was given
an ovation by the crowd.
Mr.. barrow, in his address on
THE Ramparts of Civilization" de-
clared that the real racial barrier
was not color but the Negroes pre-
vious condition of servitude coupl-
ed with the Anglo-Saxon's habit

The white people want colored

barrow. Somebody has to do tire
work and the Nordics are not GO

ed that pure blood is pure nom

all people was a very mixed one.
Mr.. Darrow furthermore urged
independence in politics upon col
ored people.

Author Of Negro Play Says
Color Line Should Be Kept

NEW YORK (ANP)-so far as
Gertrude Stein is concerned, the
color line is all right and should
be preserved.
The famous American writer, au-
thor of the opera, 1.-THE Four Saints
in Three Acts" in which colored
cast is employed, included her con-
clusion on this point in an inter-
view in the current issue of the
New York Times magazine. She
said:
Building Chinese wall is al
ways bad. Protection, paternalism
and suppression of natural activity
and competition lead to dullness
and stagnation-
THAT is the reason why do not
approve of the stringent immigra-
ton laws in America today. We
need the stimulation of new blood.
It is best to favor healthy COMPETE
ton. There is no reason why we
should not select our immigrants
with greater care, nor why we
should bar certain peoples ard pre-
serve the color line, for instance.
But if we shut down on imnnigra-

MILLS BROTHERS
FROM
HOTELS

LONDON, Eng.-England's in
tense race prejudice today denied
hotel accommodations to the Four
Mills Brothers, famous American
radio stars, their mother, and a
trop of eight others, travelling with
them. Everyone had turned them
down because of their color, it is
reported.
The company is to play at the
atre here, the troupe earning to-
tai of $4,000 per week. 1t is be-
lieved that this intensified their
difficulties, the English resenting
Negroes taking so much money out
of their country.
1t recalled an incident in Swe-
den where the concert engagement
of Marion Anderson, contralto, was
suddenly cut short and prohibited
by the government on the grounds
that her income was too fabulous
and they did not want so much mo-
ney taken out of the country. How
ever, the concert was finally per-
formed when Miss Anderson con-
sented to sing and give the bulk
of the proceeds to charity.

COBB Us. SCOTT
RACEF FOR JUDGE
YET UNDECIDED

WASHINGTON, D.c.-President
Franklin D. Roosevelt has not yet
decided whether to follow the rec
ommendation of the Department
of Justice to name Almond Scott,
lawyer, for judge Of the municipal
court, or to reappoint Judge jam
es A. Cobb for q third term.
Immediately after it became
known that Attorney General Ho-
mer S. Cummings had recommend
ed to the President the appoint
ment of Mr.. Scott, committees re-
presenting the bar association Of
the District of Columbia, white.
and the Washington Bar Associa-
ton called at the White House and
urged the reappointment Of Judge
Cobb.
Later in the week the Women's
Bar Association added its indorse-
ment of Judge Cobb to those given
by the other local bar associations.
Scott Has Support
The report that Attorney-Gen-
eraI Cummings had recommended
the appointment of Mr.. Scott was
confirmed last Thursday. Mr.. Scott
had the support of a number Of
local lawyers as well as of lawyers
in North Carolina, his native state.
He also had the support of some
political leaders in North Carolina
and other states.
The announcement Of the Hlxeli-
hood of his selection came as a dis
tinct surprise. It was believed that
in the event Judge Cobb should
fail Of reappointment. Emory B.
Smith, a lawyer and formerly pas
tor of the Lincoln Temple Congre-
gational Church and publicity a.
gent of Howard University, was in
line for the position.
The fight for the reappointment
of Judge Cobb has taken on nom
partisan aspects. His reappoint-
ment is being urged without re-
gard to party politics.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Especially
An amazing tribute to Matthew
Henson, only civilized man living
who stood at the north pole, was
paid by Donald Mcmillan, white,
Arctic explorer, over the WEAF
chain of radio stations, Sunday
night.
Listeners numbered by the mill
lions in all parts of the country
who listened to Mcmillan and the
questions put to him about his ex-
ploration in the far north were
surprised when one of the ques-
tons asked by Philip Carlin, the
announcer was, why did Peary
take the Negro, Matt Henson, in
stead of a white man on his final
dash to the north pole ?"
Mcmillan said that the reason
Peary took Henson was because he
(Henson) was an expert in Arctic
work. He built all the sledges us
ed by the party, fashioned ali the
equipment, spoke the Eskimo lar
guage and was the most popular
member of the party with the Es-
kimos.
Henson, he said, was better
man than many whites, and bet
ter man in some respects than
Peary. Macmillan quoted Peary
as saving, I'VE can't get along
without Henson"
Sadly Mcmillan called attention
to the fact that Henson who more
than any other had made Peary's
dash to the pole successful, had
been forgotten by the country. He
now holds an obscure federal po-
sition at the custom house in New
York.
No Six Months Night
Ridiculing the idea that there is
six months night and six months
day at the north pole, Macmillan
said that the north pole knows on
ly n days of real darkness such
as we have heard, from November
10 to January %. These are days
the natives stage parties and go
visiting.

NAACP OFFICIAL
IN CONFERENCE
W|THPRES|DENT

WASHINGTON DC. Especial -
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
granted an interview Sunday eve
ming at the White House to Walter
White, secretary of the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People. who presented
the Chief Executive with the lat
est developments in the campaign
for the passage of the Costigan-
Wagner snti-lynching bill.
During the talk, which began at
6 o'clock and lasted more than an
hour, the President chatted infor-
mally and again expressed his abb
horrence of lynching. He was in
terested in the Costigan- Wagner
bill and asked several questions
which showed he had given the le-
gislation attention even in the mid
st of the heavy schedule of the ma
tional recovery program.
Mr.. White pointed out that ac-
cording to latest advices there were
enough votes pledged for the bin
to pass It if it could be got up for
a vote. Mr.. White also dealt with
the much-discussed objection to
the bill-that of the liability clause
against the counties where lynch
ing occurs. He pointed out to the
President that eleven states have
anti-lynching laws which contain
this liability clause and that the
clause has been upheld as consti-
