The report considers significant
the fact that a campaign for an
anti-lynching bill has always
brought about a decline in the
number of lynchings. When the
Dyer Anei-Lynching Bill was
first introduced in the House of
Representatives in 1920, there had
been SO lynchings the year be-
fore. In 1920 lynchings declined
to IS. There followed an intensive
campaign for the passage Of the
Dyer Bill during 1921, when
lynchings dropped to 81, and 1922
when there was a further decline
to 81. Having passed the House
in January 1922, the Dyer Bill
failed in December in the Sen
ate, but in 1923, there were only
% lynchings, a sharp drop of 81
per cent.
Likewise when lynchings
mounted from 10 in 1882 to % in
1888, the Costigan-W Wagner Anti
Lynching Bill was introduced in
the Senate and House with at
tendan publicity. Lynchings dur

AUGUST BIGGEST
LYNCHING MONTH
STATISTICS SHOW
Winter Always An Off Season
A Lynching Every 9 Is
Days In Last 20 Years

New York.-Lynching is an
other seasonal industry with most
mob murders taking place in
August, according to a statisti-
cal analysis of TIT lynchings for
the 20-year period, 1915-1934,
made by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People.
The least number Of lynchings
usually occurs in the months Of
January, February, March and
April. May generally registers a
leap Of Sc per cent as the season
officially opens. This level is
maintained through June. There
follows a II per cent slump in
July, but August marks a sharp
upturn Of 50 per cent to the
years peak. In September there
is %customarily a drop of So per
cent in lynching, a further decline
of Is per cent in October and in
the last two months of the year
mob violence tapers off to an
average of 9 per cent more than
the usual number for January.
There has been a lynching each
9 1-3 days during the 2O-year
period.
A similar seasonal fluctuation
is noted in the burning of human
beings, both before and after
death, Of which there were 81
during the period, 1919-1934, or
.087 Of all lynchings. The number
Of burnings is greatest in May
and November; the "dull"|
months being February, March,
April and July.

the past 20 years follow:

MORE NURSES.
NEEDED HERE

Enlargement of the District
nursing service as a means of COM
batting the high disease and NOR
tally rate in the city will be
sought by District Health Officer
George c. Rutland during hear.
ings before the Senate District Ap-
propriationS Committee this week,
it was learned today.
DR.. Rutland plans to establish
a model nursing district in the
city to demonstrate the effect of
proper nursing organization in
reducing death and disease.
The health official revealed that
the combined staffs of visiting and
district nurses total only 104, and
that this number is far below the
normal needs Of a city such as
Washington.
DR.. Ruhland stated that the
tuberculosis mortality here is by
far the most serious problem in
health facing the city. He re-
vealed that the tuberculosis death
rates here exceeds that of many
other Southern cities of the same
size. Under the plan to enlarge
the nursing service, Dr.. Rutland
ContemplateS the establishment Of
a general nursing corps which
would be assigned to take care Of
q certain number of families.

Tun,ulty Says He
Spoke For Himself

To the Editor Of The Times:
On behalf of all the Catholics
in this country, Mr.. Joseph Pat
rick Tumulty has congratulated
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson for his
blackguard attack on Father
Coughlin. Who authorized Tum-
ulty to speak for all the Catho-
lies here? Some of them are
with him in part and against
him in part. Some OF them
wish he would not speak in a
church. But none of them ex-
cept Tumulty, so far as is
known to me, are deliighed with
the vile, suggestive. and abusive
attack made on him by the poll
tician.
General Johnson stated that
he agrees with much" that
Father Coughlin says. Why.
then, couldn't he have calmly
set forth the few things with
which he disagrees, and pre-.
sented a logical argument CIV
ing reasons for his dissent?
But no, he had to talk Of Talley.
rand, Judas Iscariot, Cataline,
bundling, dripping brogue,"
"bad fish," "abuse of the trust"
of the clergyman's auditors, "un-
holy monstrosity," etc., etc.
And all of this SluSh Tumulty
approves.

PROPOSED LAW
PLAN STUDIED

Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman's plan whereby minor
law violations would be handled
in each police precinct by volun-
teer magistrates has been both
approved and criticized by prom.
inent citizens, it was learned to
day.
A number have indicated they
consider the plan worthy of con-
sideration, and have been asked
to submit written opinions to
Mr.. Prettyman.
Discussing the matter, the Cor
poration Counsel said:
"The police courts are now SO
Swamped with the $4,000 cases
year which my office alone
handles that there cannot be
the proper number Of jury trials
or the proper time devoted to
them. We must find a solu-
ton to that.
81 believe that there are
enough high-grade and public
spirited citizens in the city to
have two sit two hours a day
each, in the precincts, to act
on the small cases like drunk
enness, disOrderly conduct,
speeding, traffic violations and
violations of minor police reg
ulatiOnS."
According to the plan, the mag
istrates would be appointed BY
the President and receive 81
yearly.

Says Boys Are After
Girls With Money

To the Editor of the Times:
The sooner young people get
over the idea that dad and
mother are just a couple of old
fogies, the better it will be for
all concerned. Somehow the
5orld has assumed the mistaken
idea that its salvation lies in
the opinion of inexperienced
young people. And so the young
dash headlong into trouble. Who
has to get them out of it? Dad
and mother.
Take any current case-the
boys who were sentenced to re.
form school for stealing automo-
bileS. They found to their Sor-
row they were not so wise. With
out older heads they would still
be in confinement. And the girl
who married her chauffeur. She
now knows mother knew best.

forehand? She could not. After
all the suffering she had caused
herself and family, she now asks
divorce, pleading inexperience.

Wants Relief Need
Test For Job

To the Editor Of The Times:
In Fridays Times Miss Ger.
trude McNally expresses her op-
position to the married persons S
clause in the Economy Act.
The Federal Emergency Relief
Administration is very strict
about seeing that no one gets on
relief rolls who does not really
need relief. That is as it should
be. Yet Miss McNally has no hesi.
tation in proposing that anyone
who can pass the required ex.
animation, whether they need
the job or not, should be given
a Government job. There are,
as a result, thousands Of men
and women now on the Govern
ment pay roll who don't need
the jobs, while other thousands
badly in need of work are walk
ing the streets every day looking
for work or having to go ION
relief"
I feel the Economy Act should
be made even more stringent.
Not only should it have the mar.
ried persons clause, but I be-
ieve the same thorough investi.
cation the ERA makes to decide
whether a person needs "relief"
or not should be made by the
Government to find out if all
those who apply for jobs really
need the jobs as a matter of
livelihood. A. L. D.

APPROPRIATION
HEARING OPENS

Headed by Senator Elmer
Thomas CD of Oklahoma, a Sen
ate Appropriations subcommittee
today will begin hearings Of the
District appropriations bill. There
is a possibility that the Senate
may increase the $39,308,000 ap-
proved by the House to a figure
nearer the $40,OoO,Oo0 previously
asked by the District.
Although the new bill is $1,210,.
900 higher than appropriations
for the current fiscal year, it is
estimated that increased operat-
ing expenses will absorb most of
the increase. The restoration of
the S per cent pay cut in the sal
aries of District workers, effective
April /, alone, adds an expense in
crease of 100000.
Because a considerably larger
police force has been SHOWN as a
real need in recent committee
hearings on crime in the District,
there is a strong possibility that
the Senate will wipe out the House
refusal to increase the local force
by IS men.
Reductions that have been made
include additional firefighting ap-
paratus, water works expansion
funds, highway funds, a new
bridge over the Anacostia River at
Pennsylvania Avenue and the ex-
panSion program at Lorton Re-
formatory. Dan Donovan. budget
officer, will appear before the
hearing today, to be followed by
department officials and organiza-
ton leaders.
