fore Officer Is Picked.

The search for a health officer to
succeed DR.. William c. Fowler is
being conducted on a Nation wide
scale by the Committee of Physicians
asked by the Commissioners to rec
ommend a candidate
The committee is sending letters to
key physicians and public health adj
ministrators throughout the country
in order to have a large and repre-
sentative list of qualified men from
whom to make the choice.
DR.. William Gerry Morgan, chair
man of the committee, emphasized
that no one has as yet been considered
individually" and that the assem-
bling of the largest possible list of
qualified candidates does not imply
any discrimination against those who
have already submitted applications.
The committee, after a meeting at
DR.. Morgan's Office yesterday, issued
the following statement:

committee expects to enlarge this ma

committee has completed this list, no
formal action will be taken.

with key physicians and public health
administrators throughout the country
in order tn assemble a roster for de-
tailed consideration"
DR.. Morgan said today that the COM
mittee would take no further action
until hearing from its correspondents
in other cities.
Although the committee appears
ready to name the best candidate it

he lives in the District, two organiza-
lions, the Washington Board of Trade

INSPECTION
BY ALLEN SOUGHT
Proposed "Incognito" Trip
Would Show Startling Con.
ditions, Says Sands.

Commissioner George E. Allen soon
will be invited to make an "incognito
inspection" of the Districts bars to
view first hand the alleged evils
of number of the so-called hidden
bars"
The invitation is to be extended
through Charles E. Sands. business
manager of the Bartenders' Alliance,
which met yesterday and condemned
the regulation requiring drinks to be
mixed out of view Of the purchaser.
The practice, it was charged, makes
for insanitary conditions and serving
of brands other than those ordered.
Il, personally, would like to take
him on such a trip" Sands said
today, after explaining the alliance
would like the Commissioner to get
first hand knowledge of the hidden
bar" Sands commented on number
of alleged evils of the hidden bar"
Sees Prohibition Return.
1--WE can see they are not going
to have liquor in the District very
long unless the system is changed.
The way some of the places are run
is the best argument for prohibition"
he said.
In the high-class places the Gus
toner does not have to worry, Sands
said, but charged that in some of the
places glasses are not properly steri-
Ized, that beer left in glasses is again
served customers and that LIQUOR
brands other than those ordered are
served.
Sands advocates. he explained, a
regulation which would make it OPP
tional with the individual dealer
whether to mix drinks in view of GUS
toners. With such regulation, he
said, the situation would be taken
care of by customers themselves,
going to places where they could see
the drinks mixed or to places where
they had confidence they would get
ingredients ordered. The alliance,
however, is not advocating a return
to the old-fashioned bar, Sands said.
The alliance voted to call the at
tention of the Better Business Bureau
to several "bar tenders schools" al
legedly operating here and promis-
ing jobs to graduates.
The alliance also plans to ask Con-
gress to lower tax rate on imported
liquors, now IS gallon.

Here's something new down in
South Carolina last Tuesday, Cole
Blease was defeated for governor of
the state by DIN D. Johnston. Blease
use to use the Negro as the main
issue of his campaigns this year he
used prohibition as the issue. At
last the people of the Palmetto"
state woke up.
Down in Louisiana, Huey Longs
machine won over that of Mayor
Walmsley. Down there the issue was
vice and corruption and that the Par
rish registration rolls contained more
than $4,000 illegal voters.
Colored workers are faced with
absolute exclusion from industry if
the Interpretation placed upon Sec
ton Ia of the NRA by the National
Labor Relations Board is permitted
to stand. The g. S. government
through one of it's agencies has
placed its official stamp of approval
upon the closed shop-a shop where
in only union workers may have en-
ployment.
Since Negro workers are excluded
from majority of unions and only
union men may work, how will it be
possible for Colored people to obtain
employment?
The following heading appeared in
Philadelphia week "Pimp Jailed as
Girl Tells Officers All. Sold Body
on Street. Turned Money Over To
Panderer, Woman Says" what a
blessing to Minneapolis it would be
if some girl on Sixth avenue and
it's vicinity would have courage
enough to make the same complaint
to the Minneapolis police.
Many of our white friends in
Louisiana who have never lost an OPP
portunity to deplore the "excesses"
of the reconstruction will scarcely be

clared between the rival armies of
