PHILLIPS LIKELY
TO SUCCEED
METCALFE

Overshadowed fguratiyely and ply
sically last year as a sophomore by
Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette Univers-
ity's worlds fastest human, Paul
Phillips, of Omaha, may be the top
scorer on Coach Conrad NJ. Jennings
Marquette track team in the coming
winter and spring campaigns.
While far from being a Metcalfe and
holding little hope of ever ~annexing a
national championship, Phillips can
pound cork or cinders with the aver
age sprirter and day or night and
hold his own. In dual meets, he al
most always was second to Metcalfe
and with the worlds champion now
out of varsity competition Coach Jen-
nings see no reason why Phillips
doesn't step into first pace.
Phillips and Metcalfe together
and are pals on and off the campus.
Ralph has been liberal with his ad-
vice, and Phillips has profted. He
has a good start and a strong pickup,
but must train this year on endurance
and a powerful finish.
The Marquette track squad has been
in training since the Christmas holt
days for what probably will be the
toughest schedule in the schools his
tory. Jennings has tentatively drafted
a program that will include Mime
sofa, Chicago, Michigan State and
others, as well as the Drake relays
and other major open meets, but has
yet to make a definite announcement
of the program.
Paul is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. s..
T. Phillips, 1874 Corby Street, and a
graduate of Central High School. He
made a nice record for himself while
in high school, and has kept that
record since he has been at Marquette
University. He is well liked and well
thought of at Marquette as he has
proven himself a capable performer.
Omaha is proud of him, and wishes
him much success in the future.
Ralph To Train
Metcalfe, who will resume his
studies in the Marquette Law school
next month, has returned from a trip
around the world and will train with
the Hilltop varsity for the meets to
which he is eligible.

turn presented the principal speaker
Of the evening, Atty. General Wright
Of Lincoln, the newly elected Atty.
General of Nebraska, who gave a very
interesting discourse on the changes
the Negro has undergone in the past
SO years. Atty. Wright seemed par
ticulary impressed with the remarka-
Bile rise of the Negro, an achievement
that no other group Of people has been
able to equal. Atty. Wright, however.
stated that the Negro is only in the
beginning, and told how the Negro
could make another rise in his upward
trend by teaching respect for the Law
to its group.

ton Of Mr.. H. L. Preston, gave two
very impressive numbers, 'The Lord
is Ny Light, and "Come Unto Me-.

Power Does
Not Fool Anyone

Last week the little sheet edited by
Mr.. John B. Horton, which appears
occasionally under the caption of the
Omaha Chronicle" made much ado
over a Christmas dinner which was
given by The Peterson Bakery with
the Urban League assisting BY get
ting the worthy old folks and having
them brought to and taken from the
Bakery Annex, where the dinner was
spread for twenty-one.
Many Of those who attended would
not have enjoyed a real Christmas
dinner. After the dinner Mrs. Peter
son spoke briefly and awarded prizes
to the two Oldest persons present and
gave a present to each old person at
tending. Children from the Mid City
Cen5er sang Carols and remarks were
made BY Mr.. Kerns and Mrs. Avant
on the spirit Of the affair. Mrs. Peter
son in arranging the dinner did SO in
the spirit Of Christmas; the Urban
League in cooperating did so because
Il has always been the policy Of the
Organization to assist in . worth
while effort The affair given by Mrs.
Peterson was worthwhile, it was en-
joyed by every person present, and
the Urban League nor the executive
has any apologies to offer Mr.. Horton,
The Chronicle or any one else for the
part they played. The fight Mr.. Hor-
ton has had with Mrs. Peterson or
her Bakery is not our concern
We do deplore, however, the poorly
written and burlesque articles which
Mr. Horton has written, but when one
knows Nh. Horton and his limitations,
they will take him and his articles as
q joke. It is regretful that a young
man as the Chronicle editor insists in
parading his ignorance and borrowed
wit before an informed public and ex-
pect their acclaim as a benefactor. In
the first place neither the Chronicle
nor the type of publicity which its
editor is capable Of writing has my
place in this community. A casual
perusal Of the four pages tells one Of
his utter lack Of training for the po-
ltical sheet he distributes.
The Negroes efforts to get more
jobs and better jobs must be waged
intelligentlg and consistently. The
young editor is not fooling Mrs. Peter
son, or anyone else Of his supposed
power; his recent political experience
proves the extent Of his following.
The Urban League executive has
never been dictated to by any one on
how far he should or should not go
on matters Of racial interest, neither
has the executive claimed to be a
miracle worker as the Chronicle init
mates. The things the League has
accomplished has been by careful
planning and intelligent action. We
can point with pride to certain Of our
accomplishments in this Community,
but in no case did we resort to cheap
publicity, burlesque or mistaken facts
to gain results.
The Chronicle editor suggests the
League Executive may have received
a financial pittance for our interest in
the Peterson Christmas party-such
a statement is SO absurd it can be ig-
nored. The "editor" nor anyone else

efficient to offset winter injury Of

spraying at this season Of the year,
growers have ben advised also to
not apply any dormant sprays
when freezing temperatures are
likely to occur before the spray has
had an opportunity to dry on the
trees. For the control of leaf-curl
on peach trees it is recommended
that growers use the commercial

SALES TAX BILL
DOOMED TO DIE
Assembly Leaders Mark Sew
eral Other Measures For
Death in Committee
WEDDING OUT OF BILLS

Several measures which have
been introduced in the General As
sembly, the appearance of which
created much interest, are to all in
tent and purposes, dead and will
never see the light of day, accord
ing to the statements of leaders in
the Senate and House. They will
be allowed to die in committee.
Among such bills is the one to pro
vide for a general sales tax
throughout the State. Another is
the measure that would have pro
vided for tax on chain stores and
another is the bill to provide for
the creation of a public utility
commission with statewide pow
ers and to abolish the Public Util-
ity Commission in Wilmington. It
has been definitely decided that
none of these will be passed at this
session. On the calendars of both
houses there are numerous other
measures which will be permitted
to die in committee and the really
important bills which are deemed
necessary and which should be
passed will not total more than IS
or 100. It is estimated all of these
could be disposed of in the 13 days
that remain of the current session
if it is to be concluded within the
go legislative days for which the
members receive pay. Last Friday
was the 47th legislative day and
the Goth will fall on April if the
Assembly meets five days week
without interruption. Many of the
members are fearful the session
viii have to be extended for ten or
more days and that as a conse-
quence they will have to work for
nothing after the Goth day, except
their mileage allowances going to
and from Dover. For this reason
they have been oojecting to the
waste of valuable time, especially
in the House, where the sessions
are from one to two hours late in
getting started every day They
want to be able 20 go home not
later than April 8 but experienced
observers claim this will be impos-
sibIe at the rate the Senate and
House nave been moving for sew
eral weeks past. They estimate
the session cannot be concluded be
fore May |.
