been involved with the underworld
Of New York, and Joe Louis =
young, unsophisticated, and ambi-
tious to become the heavyweight
champion of the world-finds him
self, whether he likes it or not, the
particular idol in the ring of a
gang Of colored racl1eteers engag-
ed in the numbers or policy rack
cts IN New York, Detroit, and in
Chicago"
Pegler, in cool and measured
words, recalls the March 1e riot
in Harlem in the greatest concen-
tration Of colored people this side
of the African continent, If not
the greatest concentration, per
square mile, in the world" he re-
minds the promoters that at the
present time 1.-THE colored people
of this country are especially sore
at italy because of the war threat
against Ethiopia" and that Car
nera is towering reservist of
Mussolini's army, and he makes
known for what it Is worth that

1.-The columnist adds:
Everybody concerned in the
promotion of Mrs. E9earst's char
ity production, with the probable
exception of Mrs. Hearst herself,
knows the underworld connection,
white and colored, of the proposed
fight, and the active promoters
thoroughly appreciate the temper
of Harlem at this writing. All
prizefight men know, too, that the
late Tex Richard never produced
heavyweight championship fight
between white man ard a col
ored man in a populous center,
and firmly avoided producing any
such championship contest after
the Johnson-Jeffries fight of 1910,
which took place in Reno, New. but
caused race riots in New York and
Chicago.

Years Of experience with my
people have taught me that the
majority Of the men who pastor
Negro churches are mentally I'm
fit and lamantably unprepared for
the performance Of such great re-
sponsibilities When one bears
ia mind the facts that an untrain-
ed minister is BY nature inoonsist.
ent and Incompetent one does not
wonder why the more cultured
and refined seek those sources
and conditions Ia which they are
not made to feel i'll at ease
This sort of ministry can never
lift the masses. it does not INSURE
but rather it Is destined only to
sooth the spirits Of those who GO
through life, living narrow, self
ish lives, with little or no coEsid-
Grafton for the rising generation.

that the Negro ministry should be
an asset and not a liability. so

SECURITY BILL

First revolt against the social
security program enacted in the
last session of Congress was thrust
into the open today when Chair
man James P. Buchanan CD Of
Texas urged luxury sales taxes
instead of payroll taxes to fl
nance it.
While Buchanan's powerful
committee has no authority to
originate tax proposals, the plan
is expected to be laid before the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
The Buchanan proposal bears
some similarity to the program OF
DR.. F. E. Townsend. who wants
to finance his $20O-a-month pen
sion program with a transaction
sales tax. Buchanan, however,
opposes the Townsend plan.
Administration experts who
framed the social security pro-
gram regarded their method Of
taxation as the heart of the
scheme. Taxes ultimately will
reach 5000 million dollars a year.

An investigation into the opera
ton of Midamerica Corporation
top holding company of the Van
Sweringen railroad system, has
been ordered by the 1CC, it was
learned today.
The corporation was created
last fall as a means of perpetual.
ing the Van Sweringen control
over its railroads through pur.
chase of securities, sold at public
auction by j. P. Morgan and
Company, and other bankers of
the Van Sweringen brothers. The
shares were held as collateral
for a loan.
The ICC action came indirectly
in connection with the applica.
ton of George T. Tomlinson, a
director of Midamerica, who seeks
authorization to become a direc
tor of the Fort Worth Belt Rail
way. The ICC ordered a public
hearing on February 3 on this
application and in addition op
ened to scrutiny previous approx
ais given by the ICC to Tomlin
son to hold directorships in other
Van Sweringen roads.
The Federal scrutiny Of the
new Van Sweringen holding con
Germ, which has yet to make ap
plication to the ICC for approval
in acquiring the shares sold oy

was made clear in the commits

Surgical operations remain

Surgical operations remain a
mystery to most good folk.
There are two reasons. One is
that photographs of operating
room scenes are rare. The other
is that whenever the average citi-

an operation, he's usually uncon-
SciouS.
Today The Washington Times
presents a series of photographs
Of a nasal operation-photographs

He and attendants who had
taken similar precautions against
injecting the wound to be made
on the patient then donned facial
masks which prevent germs from
being spread by the breath.
When all was in readiness a
nurse applied an ether cone to
the patient, the surgeon called for
