MASK and costume makers for
wi Alice in Wonderland are
just as important as the actors.
DresSmakerS and designers found
that their job in getting Alice in
Wonderland" ready for the screen
was a more difficult one than the
actors.
Norman Mcleod, Paramount di-
rector, insisted more than a year
before the movie Went into pro-
duction that the costumes and all
scenes must be exact duplicates of
the original drawings of Sir John
Tenniel.
Get hold of your copy of Alice
in Wonderland and compare the
Tenniel drawings with those in
this article.
1t required months of research
work on the part of Wally West
more and Newt Jones in charge
of the masks and costumes to get
the desired results.

Negro Applicants Try to

Each.

WASHINGTON, February 13-(C
NS)-The "sale" of Public Works
Administrative and CWA jobs here is
under investigation as agents of the
PWA hunt up witnesses to substant-
late the charge that a salesman
would approach an applicant for a
job and say Il am a close personal
friend of Secretary Ickes and have
considerable influence"
In support Of his contention, he
would exhibit letters addressed to
himself, containing references to Sc
cretary Ickes and otherwise using the
administrators name. In addition, he
would display newspaper pictures Of
Mrs. Ickes and clippings explaining
that he was a close friend Of the
Ickes family.
He would then offer to place the
applicant on a PWA job for $40. Of
ficials claim he yictimized a consider
able number of persons including
many colored men and women. In no
case was a job obtained and now the
man cannot be found in the District

STATES MUST
N WAY TO
PUNISH MODS
Otherwise Federal Interven-
ton Is Inevitable, Says
Interracial Head.
Commenting On st. Joseph
Acquittal

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 10.-Legislation
to lift lynching cases out of the
'Iocal atmosphere" and provide for
their trial in communities unaffected
by mob hysteria was urged here in a
statement this week by DR.. w. w.
Alexander, director of the Commits
sion on Interracial Cooperation, in
commenting on the failure of the
Missouri courts to convict partici-
pants in the recent lynching at st.
Joseph. If state officers and courts
continue to manifest inability or I'M
willingness to apprehend and convict
lynchers, the Intervention Of the Fed
eral Government is inevitable, said
DR.. Alexander, adding that "a state
which cannot maintain the civiliza-
ton of which it is the custodian need
not expect the government to respect
its theoretical rights" DR.. Alexan-
der's statement follows in full:
"The st. Joseph case is the old
story wei again of the failure of
courts to convict in cases Of mob vio-
lence. In the 1880 recorded lynch
ings from 1900 to 1880 convictions
were obtained in only twelve in
stances, or less than one per cent, in
spite Of the fact that in hundreds of
these cases-probably in most OF
them-the identity of mob members
was well known in the community.
Local courts and juries will not con
Wet lynchers, even in the rare cases
where officers have the courage to
make arrests and grand %juries the
couage to indict.
"This condition indicates the i'm
perative need of legislation which
will automatically lift such eases out
of the local atmosphere and provide
for their trial in communities unaf-
fected by the hysteria that melted
the mobs in the first place. The var
ious state legislatures r quite COM
petent to enact such legislation and in
my Judgment should do so at the
earliest possible moment.
"Otherwise, it is reasonable to ex-
pect that the federal government will
intervene and take over jurisdiction
in cases Of mob murder. A state
which cannot maintain the civilization
of which it is the custodian need not
expect the government to respect its
theoretical rights. The nation must
rid itself of lynching. Technicalities
must not stand in the way"
