FUNERAL RITES FOR
WALLACE THURMAN

New York.-Wallace Thurman,
noted author and playwright, died
here, last Saturday, from tubercu-
losis. He was buried Monday.
Rev. William Lloyd lines officiated
at the services.
Thurman was born in Salt Lake
City. He was a graduate of the
University of California and
started his literary career on the
West Coast. Discouraged by his
efforts there he came to New York
where he joined Countee Cullen,
Bruce and Claude Mckay and
others in the publication of "The
Messenger"
His first novel, ''The Blacker the
Berry," was dramatized into "Har-
lem," and produced on Broadway.
His second, "The Infantes of
Spring." dealt with the life of an
inferno in our hospitals. Paradox
cally Thurman died in the very
hospital which formed the back
ground of that novel.

Ethiopia Not
Afraid of Italy
Priest Says

charleston, >. e., Uec.-(ANP)
If Ethiopia has anything to fear
from the aggressions of Premier
Mussolini and his Italian forces,
there is one good Ethiopian who
does not know anything about it
and who believes if Italy wants to
"save her face" she had better stop
her fooling around.
This Ethiopian patriot is the
Rev. c. F. Checizzi, 74-year-old
priest lecturing in this country.
Interviewed here last week con-
corning the recent incidents involv-
ing his country and Italy, he as
serted that Italy was afraid that
Japan might get a foothold in what
she claims is her "zone of influ-
ence" in Africa. He charges that
Italy helped to block the marriage
of an Ethiopian prince and Jap
anese countess. Italy's actions, he
believes, will drive the two coun-
tries together.
Japan stands as the leading
yellow nation in Asia and Ethiopia
as the leading black nation in Afri-
ca" he explained. 'The cOmbina-
ton of the two would result in pO-
litical, industrial, military and edu-
catiOnal advantages to both.
"The Philippians look upon the
Italians with scorn and contempt"
he averred. "They have done so
ever since the days of Hannibal,
the Ethiopian Carthaginian gen
eral, and particularly since they
melted out a disastrous defeat to
the Italians in 1896.
eff Italy attempts to invade
Ethiopia, a land that has not been
conquered for 5000 years and the
oldest monarchy in the world, it
will not only be a great loss to
her prestige, but also of the land
she is holding bordering my coun-
try"
DR.. Checizzi believes too many
American Negroes put 81 stockings
on unwashed feet and Sc hats on
heads with no brains in them.
Last week Ethiopia protested for
the second time against Italian ag-
gressions to the League of Nations.
Mussolini has demanded that Eth
opia apologize and accept blame
for the recent bloodshed.
