At Luncheon Meet
Of Wolverine Bar
Continued from Page u

minating and informative address,
regarding the ultimate benefits
which will accru from this social
legislation and how it will affect
the minority groups.
In his address, Judge Jeffries
said:
Eek President Hoover and the
Republican Party honestly tried to
meet the emergency of 1929, and
the courageous Roosevelt tackled
the crises with a like degree of
energy, but both Parties failed.
Prosperity is around the corner,
and will so remain until rescued
by the Townsend Plan or some
other social justice legislation. The
Plan is feasible and practical, for
it will prevent the boarding of
money. The beneficiaries will
spend their two hundred dollars a
month, and the young fellows will
spend freely, because fear of want
and misery will not greet them at
seventy. Revenue for the Townsend
Plan can be raised by taxing val
ues Is billion dollars annually.
Judge Jeffries discussed his sub
ject Interestingly for more than an
hour, with sincerely.

Washington-The resolution pro-
viding for a Senate investigation OF
the lynchings in 1885 which took
place after May / is held in the
Senate committee on audit by a
deadlock vote, it became known
here last week.
The resolution already has been
reported favorably by the judiciary
committee, which recommended
that the sum of $500 be allotted
for the Investigation. The audit
committee has to approve this
amount.
Four Compose Committee
The audit committee consists of
four senators. 1t is not known how
each of them has voted on the re-
solution, but the members on the
Committee are Senators Millard
Tydings of Maryland, John G..
Townsend of Delaware, Nathan l..
Bachman of Tennessee, and James
p. Byrnes, Jr. of South Carolina.
Senator Byrnes is chairman.
There is a strong undercurrent
In Washington trying to discour-
age all controversial subjects in
this election year, so as to permit
early adjournment of Congress and
no embarrassment during the
campaign.
ReneVyui and increased pressure
10 needed Upon the White House,
upon the udit committee, and up
"a individual senator's, in order to
make plain the deep concern of
citizens that something concrete
shall be done about lynching at
this session of the Congress. In
terested individuals and organiza-
tons are urged to write letters
and send kilograms and resolu-
tons to Washington.

DEADLOCKED In COMMITTEE

ward p. Costigan, who are push
ing federal action against lynch
ing, requested of Chairman Bry-
mes a speedy report on the resolu-
ton in his committee.
1T is understandable why some
of the politicians in Washington
do not wish to bring up contro-
versial subjects this spring said
Walter White, n. A. A. c. p. secre-
tary. but these people under-esti-
mate the widespread resentment
Of the country to continued lynch
ings and to the inactivity of the
federal government in checking
mob violence.
"An examination of the record
of lynchings for 1885 will show
that while there were 25 actual
lynchings, a total of 81 cases in
volving 127 victims or potential
victims were reported. In addition
to the recorded lynchings, there
were six killings, now being in
vestigated, which strongly re-
semble lynchings. There were IL
cases in which troops had to be
called out to prevent lynchings,
and there were So cases involving
IS people, where lynchings were
prevented by additional guards, re-
moval to other localities, etc. These
statistics mean that the lynching
spirit is widespread, and that the
federal government cannot afford
to continue ignoring it,"

 Newman said that Detroit, team that played at top speed, is easily the best team in the country today.
 The former Michigan all-America is sharpening his ice skates in pre- paration for the 1886 professional football season.
 Skating is the best thing I know of to develop hip-swinging, judg- ment of distance, suppleness, dex- terity, pivot and angle turns. I was off form in 1885 and the main req son was because I did no skating last winter I did a lot in 1932-33 and followed it up with great season on the gridiron. I'll be ready next fall when the season opens"

SPORT SLANTS

Now that the pigskin has been packed away until the. 1886 season it's about time again for the old question as to whether a good col lege team can beat a good profess sional eleven.
 Harry Newman, a headliner in college football at Michigan and a star with the New York Giants, is qualified as well as anyone to give his opinion The Giants were beaten 26-7 by the Detroit Lions for the National Professional Football cham pionship.
 Detroit would beat any college cam of 1885" says Newman. T think the best college team of the year was Minnesota and the Detroit team would beat Minnesota. There is no doubt that Detroit would win.
 Lions Have College Spirit
 Some argue that the college teams have the spirit the professionals lack Detroit is a team of high me- chanical skill plus a love for the game. The Lions have the old col lege spirit.
 Detroit would have just as much spirit as Minnesota, Ohio State, Tex as Christian, Southern Methodist, Stanford or any other college team you can mention. They would play just as hard as their college oppon-
