ing dress Of black chiffon with wood
color and blue design. Mrs. Cummings,
who greets one as If she was supremely
happy to meet them, was attractive In
a dress Of blue crepe with the sleeves
and upper part Of the bodice In a
thinner material Of Roman stripes. She
wore small blue crepe turban. Mrs.
Wallace, wife of the Secretary Of
Agriculture, brought up the end of the

with coat Of orchre color crepe and
a hat of brown.
The scene on the lawn was one Of
particular beauty, hundreds of bridge
tables being placed at every point of
vantage, the woman players in their
gay Summer frocks and hats turning
the scene into vast flower garden Of
riotous color. On the slope facing the
residence was the table occupied by
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, who was smil-
ing and gracious and bent upon a good
game. She wore a gown of q soft
shade Of yellow showing a black de-
sign and her becoming hat was of
lacy black straw with q gracefully
dropping brim.
Gayly striped tents were placed at
several points on the lawn, from which
punch, cakes and sandwiches were
served. The arrival of Mrs. Roosevelt
marked the breaking up of bridge, and
after all of the players were received
she took her departure.
A number OF women whose husbands

Arthur H. Vandenberg, who had with

Hundreds of the lovers of outdoor

N. E. Association
 Engaged In Survey
Plans to Compare Local Teachers Salaries With
 Those of Other Cities and Towns

A questionnaire concerning the salaries expected to be paid to school teachers in Waterbury and other towns and cities in the state having a population of more than 2,500 will be sent out by the Na- tional Education association to all school superintendents before the beginning of the school year, it was learned today.
 Theobject of the association is to compare salaries in this city with those paid in other cities of Connecticut and the country. A similar survey taken at the begin ming of the 1929 school year dis- closed that teachers, principals and supervisors in this state were rated fourth among states in the amount of yearly salaries.
 An annual average salary of $1,812 was paid to teachers in Connecticut during the school year 1929-39, with only three states. New York, California and Massa- chusetts, showing higher averages. The national average was $1,420. It is believed however, that since that time the average for this state has dropped considerably.
 The National Education associa- tion, which is sponsoring the in- quiry, is one of the most powerful organizations of it's kind in tho country, numbering thousands of members. At the annual conven- tion, held last June at Washing ton, D. C., Miss Daisy Lord, mem- Der of the Wilby high school fac ulty of this city, was named presi- dent of the department of class room teachers.

By LOUIS SASS

To gain a correct estimate of the
results of the election in Harlem
one must be thoroughly familiar
with the political situation, and all
the political factors involved in the
very complicated life of the COM
munity First, it is a well-known
fact that Harlem for years has been
divided into spheres of influence by
the two political parties, and is re-
garded safe for whatever party con-
trolls particular assembly district.
Attack Scottsboro Defense
The outstanding factor in Har-
LENS political life is the role of the
Negro reformiSts, William N. Davis
of the Amsterdam News, Rev. King
of st. Marks Church, Rev. Bolden
of Brooklyn and others. These mis-
leaders, through phrases and their
popular mass organs, were success
full in lining up a considerable Sec
ton of the Negro middle class
against the Communist Party. A
united front of Socialists, Repub-
licans and Democrats has been
formed lately to discredit the Com
munists in the Scottsboro defense.
Unheard of ISLANDERS have been
hurled at the Party that has been
the only consistent fighter for Ne
gro liberation and for the lives of
the nine Scottsboro boys.
Rev. King in his church held con-
ferences with the ministers in sup
port of Mr., Leibowitz, and threw
out four Scottsboro mothers who
were seeking to address one of the
conferences in behalf of their sons.
All this has been carried on in the
midst of deceitful declarations, tell
ing the Negro masses that this
group, which had given no support
to the tremendous fight carried on
by the I. L. D., is the only one
capable of preventing the death of
the Scottsboro boys. The Socialist

is still unsatisfactory and the vote
polled by Uffre, Congressional can
didate in the 10Th A. D.
We can say that the vote in
Harlem has not nearly represented
the mass influence of the Party or
Of the mass organizations; never
theless it is an indication of the
growing political consciousness of
the Negro, Latin-American, and
white masses in our territory.
Taking the last Congressional
vote of 1880 for two districts and
comparing it with the present Con-
gressional vote of 1882 we have proof
that with proper attention to par
iamentary activity with the build
ing of our block organizations and
with a careful canvass of all vot-
ers, the Harlem Section will be able
next year to elect at least one of
its candidates.
