Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, September 13-
Claiming that their property values
have suffered as a result of alleged
annoying tactics by pilots from Con-
gressional Airport. 13 property owners
along the Rockville pike filed suit in
Circuit Court yesterday to restrain the
owners and lessee from operating the
field at Halpine.
The plaintiffs charged that low
flying planes from the field disturb
the peace and quiet of their homes
as well as at Waverly Sanitarium,
and the value Of property in the COM
munity has decreased considerably be-
cause of such tactics.
The suit was filed by the same
group of property owners who made
a futile attempt to have the Mary
land Assembly enact bill at its last
session for control Of airports by the
county.
Included in the group are Mary P.
Bradley, Mr.. and Mrs. Philander C.
johnson, r. Maude Hodgkin, John F.
wilkins. Marian Barrow, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Eaton, Mr.. and Mrs. Milo G.
Coplen, Martha Poole, Katherine
Poole and Esther M. Ochsenreiter.
The defendants are Rosa A. Wag-
ner, William F. Wagner, Mr. and Mrs.
Urban N. Wagner and Mr.. and Mrs.
Simon P. Wagner, who own the land
on which the airport is located, and
Guests the lessee.
Members OF the House Aviation
Committee frowned on the county bill
when it was introduced by Delegate
Joseph A. Cantrel and killed 1t by
failing to report the measure out
The committee explained that such q
measure enacted for Montgomery
would have paved the way for crea-
ton of ''23 aviation commissions" in
the counties Of the State.

new VAN SWERINGEN
COMPANY REPORTED
Rail Magnates Held Organizing
Holding Concern to Con.
troll Roads.
BY the Associated Press.


The Van Sweringen brothers of
Cleveland were reported in Govern
ment quarters today to be planning
to organize new holding company
for control of the vast railroad prop
critics they gathered under the wing
OF the Allegheny Corp.
Their intention to bid for collateral
held by a New York banking group
against $4,000 600 in loans, as re-
ported in Wall Street, was viewed by
some here as step toward forming
new corporate unit to hold the strings
Of their rail empire.
Control actually was said to rest
now in hands of the New York bank
ers, headed by J. P. Morgan & Co.,
who have the key collateral in the
intricate corporate pyramid built up
by the Van Sweringens.
Presumably the new concern would
succeed the Van Sweringen's personal
holding company, rather than the
Allegheny Corp.

NEW YORK. March 16.-A decline

The opening was weak at a decline
of IL to 19 points in the face of rela-
lively steady Liverpool cables. Houses
with foreign connections were active
sellers. 1t was thought that some of
these offerings we're due to nervous
ness over the international monetary

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY III. N, McGILL.


Editor. McGll Commodity Service. Inc,
Auburndale. Mass.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, March Is
R.-The most radical decline In
commodity prices in many months
occurred during the past week. The
reaction was led by textiles-spot cot
ton collapsing sharply under the l2-
cent level, which represents the Gov
ernment loan base. This was a signal
for price weakness in other speculative
commodities, not only in agricultural
products but In vegetable oils. Dur
ing the week only two groups record
ed strength, namely, live stock and
non-ferrouS metals. Seven groups,
however, ruled lower, while five re-
manned unchanged.
Industrial prices moved downward
sharply, caused by lower price ave-
erage for fuels, hides and leather,
paint materials and fine textiles. In
dustrial activity also averaged lower
as compared with the opening week
of the month.
Farm Prices Down.
Agricultural prices are now at the
lowest point since last July. In addi-
ton to sharply lower prices for cotton,
lower quotations were also noted in
rye and dairy products. particularly
butter and eggs FlaXseed, corn and
oats are the only items that averaged
slightly higher than the previous
week
Live stock prices recorded the only
increase of Importance. Although the
price trends we're mixed, hogs and
lambs were lower than the previous
week, but this reaction was more than
counteracted by higher quotations for
cattle and sheep
Hides and leather represent another
group that declined sharply. rejecting
| 1-cent decline in the price Of hides.
Non-ferrous metals represent the
second group to advance as there were
no declines, and silver and tin ad-
vanced
Paint materials were slightly lower,
caused by price weakness in rosin and
turpentine.
Fine Textiles Slump.
Fine textiles recorded the greatest
proportionate decline of any group, as
in addition to lower quotations for
cotton. yarns and finished goods ruled
lower and the underlying trend of raw
silk prices was downward.
Vegetable oils turned abruptly down.

A LYNCHING

There have been more brutally executed lynchnig than that
which occurred this week at White Bluff, Tenn, but rarely if
ever one as brazen. The victim, a Negro accused of slapping a
white woman, was taken from a deputy sheriff and another
official who were enroute with their prisoner to the county Jail.
The "mob' consisted Of five armed men. They took the
deputy's pistol but assured him that they would "be back in
a few minutes and bring your gun The promise was kept
In less than half an hour they returned and surrendered to
the official 'They were all just laughing and seemed like
they enjoyed what they had done, he says. 'They told me they
shot the Negro with my gun" The sheriff placed no charge
but said that they would be taken to the county seat for ar
raignment.
Only less shocking than the crime itself is the cheerful con-
fidence of this quintet that the law which they boast Of fouting
will not punish them for it. In the history of lynching, to be.
sure, they have ample assurance for such a belief. Officials
in most cases offer little resistance to a ~lynehinsg mob. Seldom
is there even an effort afterward to identify its members, al
though in the case of their leaders at least that should be
comparatively simple. Instances in which they have been
brought to trial are still more infrequent. A conviction is al
most unknown.
But no mob has had the audacity to do its barbarous,
bloody deed and then deliver itself to the law in the attitude
of "What are you going to do about itf' The country waits
to see how Tennessee will meet an unprecedented challenge.
The Omaha guide., 1935-11-23
THE NAVY AND THE NEGRO

Negro Americans who might desire to serve their country
in the I. S. Navy can enlist only as messmen (waiters, cooks
and valets), according to an official statement of Rear Admiral
Adolphus Andrews, Chief Of the Bureau of Navigation, Navy
Department, Washington, d. c.
This information is contained in a letter to the Chicago
branch Of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People in response to persistent inquiries.
In answer to four questions asked by A. c. MacNeal, pres
ident of the Chicago branch, Rear Admiral Andrews answered
that the policy of the Navy department is to restrict the en-
listment of colored men to the messman branch Of the Navy,
believing that such procedure will best meet the needs and eff
ficiency of the Navy; that the present instructions to recruit
ing stations throughout the country are not to enlist colored
men as apprentice seamen.
After many years Of experience the letter states, 1.-THE
policy of not enlistng men Of the colored race for the seaman
and other branches of the Naval service, except the messman
branch, was adopted to meet the best interest of general ship
efficiency. Experience in former years has shown clearly that
men of the colored race. if enlisted in the seaman branch and
promoted to the position of petty Officers, cannot maintain
discipline among the men of the white race over whom they
may be placed by reason of their rating, and that as a result
team work, harmony, and ship efficiency are seriously handi
capped. The whole training and distribution system of the
Navy makes it essential that men of any particular rating be
available for any duty required Of that rating throughout the
Navy.
"The selection of men TO man the Navy if left to the dis
secretion of the executive branch of the government, In the
experience of this discretion the Navy department endeavors
to furnish naval vessels with crews consisting of men best
qualified to meet the requirements of the special rating and
branch to which they are assigned. This policy not only serves
the best interests of the Navy but serves as well the best inter-
ests of the men themelves.
II hope that the above will give you a clear understanding
of the policy existing at present in the United States Navy re
gardng the enlistment of colored men,
In view of the unsettled conditions in the world, with talk
of war on every hand and with countries striving to muster all
the patriotism and loyalty possible, the attitude of the u. S.
Navy should prove of interest to colored American citizens.

ALTA VESTA
A GIRLS PROBLEMS
(By Videtta Ish)
NY Dear Child wish

My Dear Child wish I
could express how much l ap-
preciate the way you view the
serious things of Life. Your dear
mother was of that serious kind
and it seems that you are hay-
ing her spirit and will have her
wonderful ability to see things
as they should be.
Again [ am glad to approve
and commend your course. l
refer to your attitude toward
the colored girls. Yes, it is
strange that some white folks
are dark and some colored folk
white. And this shows that it is
not color but what is called
racial prejudice.
These girls are not respon-
sible for their race, nor for
their color, and they should not
be mistreated on such account.
Remember always, Alta Vesta,
that character and not color
should be the test of WORTH
ness. And do not mind crit
cism and ridicule when you do
what is right. As long as these
girls have good character
and good manners, you have my
permission to associate with
them.
With abundance of love,
Your father.
