Protest White Staff
On Theatre Project


NEW YORK = Bringing into
the epen an undercurrent of re-
sentiment and protest that has
been prevalent for weeks, the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Cololed People this week
protested against the practically
aIl-white executive and technical
staff of the WPA Negro theatre
project in New York CITY
A few hours before the Ascot
atoms protest was made public,
it was learned that the project di-
rectors had made certain last min
ute shifts in personnel so as to in
clude some Negroes. The changes
were brought about by the cIamor
which arose in all sections Of Har-
lem when the personnel Of the new
project was first announced. At
that time the supervisor, person
mel officer, publicity man, musical
director. senior accountant, stage
director, scenic designer and cleo
trician were all white. None Of
the higher paying jobs were at
first assigned to Negroes.
The excuse of the directors of
the projects was that they could
not find any Negroes of experience
and at first it was reported that
two colored stenographers were
employed in the office Of the pro-
ject, but since the early days they
have disappeared and it is report
ed that white girls are now en-
ployed.
The NAACP in its protest this
week stated that 1t had benefited
through the talent and generosity
Of Negro actors, and 1t was con-
WINGED that competent Negroes
could be found to hold some Of the
responsible positions on the pro-
ject. Elmer Rice, the eminent play
wright, is in charge of all nine of
the New York city theatre pro-
jects, one of which is designated
as the Negro theatre project. The
New York Urban League is spon-
sor of the Negro theatre project.

Farm Bureau Federation

CHICAGO (ANP)-For the first
time in its history, Negro delegates
were in attendance at the annual
meeting of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, the most inn
portant agricultural organization
in the country, when it met in Chi
cago this week. The Negro repre-
sentatives came from the very
heart of the South, from the terri
tory in which share choppers trou-
bles have recently attracted atten-
ton and found not only hearty
welcome, but indications that a
greater interest is to be taken in
the problems which affect the
great body of Negro farmers.

paper on The Absorption of Sound in Gases"
This paper was delivered by DR.. KnudSen on
Dec %, during the course of the association con-
ventiOn in Pittsburgh part of Symposium upon

A NONG other papers which attracted considerable

rays in Mexico
Dr. johnson who had previously discovered that
the intensity of cosmic rays was greater from the
West than the East, by the recording of 100000
individual coSnc rays IN Mexico established also the
fact that the intensity Of the rays greater from
the South than the North.
This. DR.. Johnson believes. confirms the fact that
the rays reaching the coSmic ray detectors are
charged particles.
A MOTHER important paper was that presented

Your Health
: BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

IT has been said that persons have an average Of
l. five moles each. When these distributed over
the body, they seldom cause much disturbance but
girls give lot Of concern to presence Of moles on
the face.
The mole ordinarily is not serious matter from
the point of view Of health
There are flat and raised moles, both hairy and
non-hairy. 1t is rather simple to remove the flat
non-hairy mole by the freezing method. with carbon
dioxide snow, by the electrical method with the
so-caled electric needle
In some instances it is desirable to cut away
these moes, the decision depending, of course. on
the opinion of your doctor.
THERE has been good deal of argument over
Il the possibility that moles will become malignant
and develop 1t is likely that the ordinary
hairy mole seldom changes to a cancer, and that
even the black or dark brown moles will not change
to cancer. unless they are constantly irritated.
Another form of birthmark is the port wine stain,
which represents collection of blood vessels under
the skin If these very the surfacE and
small they may be frozen and destroyed, and some
times may be treated with the electric needle.
In other cases they are treated with the kind of
injection treatment used for varicose veins. Such
treatment will succeed in plotting them out.
CTRAWBERRY marks also are collections of blood
- vessels which swell and are elevated above the
surface of the skin. They are treated by many
methods including freezing the electric needle, and
use Of radiurn.
nent of all these cases is difficult matter, requiring
special knowledge and that it must be carried
slowly
Much better results usually achieved if very
small parts Of large growths or birthmarks taken
care of at time than if any attempt is made
to remove the entire trouble at once.
The tissues of bodies heal by soaring and
extensive treatments may result in large scars.

Too Much for Salisbury

MANY a trainer who can not spell very well still
WI knows that there was once upon time monk
named Mendel who worked things out with tulips
which have bearing on the odds offered on the
current crop Of 2-yearolds at Tropical. Not every
one viii agree with me that the horse is both
beautiful and dumb. Around some stables legends
arise about steeds which understand the nature
Of the game and grow brokenhearted under the
ignominy of being beaten by two lengths But it is
my impression that these myths tend to muSh-
into absurdity. For instance gray horse
named Salisbury pranced out the track day
ago and most papably turned his head and gave
a long look at the board which prominently displays
the approximate odds.
I quite ready to admit that the horse seemed
to be studying the prices intently but 1 could not
agree with my companion who remarked, Don't bet
on him. He's seen that he is only to l and he
won't extend himself at any such figure" 1t is
quite true that Salisbury who figured swell form,
IAN dull and listless if waiting for some
better afternoon in which to score a killing. That
1 consider sheer coincidence. In fact bet on Sails
bury in spite of the sneerng glance he gave to the
mutual ratings. 1t is my determination to go about
my task here in a true research spirit and to have
nothing to do with lunches hot-pins, tips and all
the hobgObins Of the sUperstitious.

Inc, for whom Hauptmann will
declare he worked in the spring
of 1882. Hauptmann will testify
that so far as he can remember
he worked steadily for the COM
pany in March and that the
checks were his compensation.
A LSO, the defense will produce
L n a check for $50 made out to
Mrs. Hauptmann by Kate Fred
erickson (wife of the baker), dated
June %, 1892, and will contend
it was in payment for work that
spring.
Hauptmann did not receive the
ransom money from DR.. John F.
Condor in st. Raymond's Gene
terry, the Bronx, but took it, not
knowing what it was, from Fisch.
Mrs. Kate Fredericksen will be
called to testify that Fisch visited
the FrederickSen bakery, where
Mrs. Hauptmann worked, the day
before he sailed for Germany and
showed her many gold notes.
Other witnesses will be called to
testify that Fisch had means, that
he lent $500 to his brother Paul
and an unnamed amount to his
sister Anna, both of whom live in
Germany. They will be called to
swear that he rented safety de-
post box.
Hauptmann will testify that
when Fisch went to Germany he
left with Hauptmann some par
GELS, including a shoe box, which
Hauptmann put in a closet. He
will say that water from leak
ing roof rotted the cardboard and
that he then saw the money in
side.
He will say he believed he was
entitled to use some of it as
Fisch owed him $500.
He will say that the reason the
telephone number of DR.. Condor
was found penciled on panel in
his home was merely because he
was interested in the Lindbergh
case.
Mrs. Hauptmann will testify
that she knew nothing Of Haupt-
mann's possession of the money.
Hauptmann's conduct has not
been that of a guilty man.
Hauptmann by nature and habit
is close-mouthed. quiet and has
few or no bad habits, witnesses
will be called to declare. They will
be called to testify that he is de-
voted to his wife and infant son,
respected by friends and that his
past life does not provide ground
for the belief that he was capable
of the kidnapping plot.
Hauptmann was poor man
long after the ransom was paid.
Witnesses will declare that as
late as Oct. II, 1882, Hauptmann
owed $50 as the result of an au-
tomobile accident and was slow
to pay-at time when the State
contends he had $4,000.
The reported identificatiOns of
the defendant were not fair.

mony that Hauptmann was lined
up with eighteen detectives, that
they were rested and alert and

In the case of a recess on the part of his House.
the chaplain attached thereto gets day off and need
not report for duty again until there has been an
adjournment. He can check up that in the papers,
however. The uncertainty whether the statesmen
will recess or adjourn from day to day requires a
chaplain to remain on hand and precludes the max
ing of any extensive plans for several consecutive
days off. The late Mr.. Tim Hurst, the baseball
pre- used to complain of similar uncertainty wish
ing that all the open dates and rainy days in base

minutes each legislative day. The statesmen like
them to make it snappy
The office of chaplain is non-partsan, though
elective and the personal political beliefs of the in
cumbent are held to have bearing his fitness.
The Rev. Drs Phillips and Montgomery, for

The move is not anti German,
but desperately pro-peace. A
Franco-Italian agreement, Foreign
Minister Laval has said, should
lead to a rapprochement among
all nations whose collaboration is
vital if discord is to end.
The task undertaken by Musso-
lini and Laval probably is the
most difficult and the most deli
cate since Versailles. Barthou
literally lost his life while trying
to complete it.
Yugoslavia and Italy are ira
ditionai enemies Italy, Austria
and Hungary are now close friends.
Yugoslavia and these two coun-
tries are hostile. France and
Ygoslavia are allies. Yet agree
ment among these snarling states,
plus the Little Entente, Poland,
Russia and the Baltic nations, is
essential if the scheme is to work.
The chances are at least even
that Nazi Germany will refuse to
join, even if the others get to-
gether. The others will demand
the independents of Austria as
minimum guaranty from Germany,
and Germany may not care to
give it.
Future events in the Pacific and
the Far East also depend great
deal upon what happens across
the Atlantic. Having scrapped the
Naval Limitation Treaty and the
Nine Power Pact, and withdrawn
from the League of Nations, Nip
pon's policy will be shaped largely
by events abroad.
Limitation and control of arma-
ment on land, sea and in the air,
is likewise at stake. If peace can
be assured for a protracted pc
Rod to come, world confidence, on
which international trade and
prosperity turn, it is confidently
felt, will revive.
Failure would be a not very
hopeful sign.
