H o S pital Official
Probes Jim-Crow
Charge

New York-A thorough investi-
cation of the apparent refusal of
officials at Bellevue hospital (muni-
cipal) to enroll a young colored
man who applied for admission to
the school for male nurses has
been begun by DR.. S. S. Gold
water, commissioner of hospitals
The applicant was Elvin Rawlins
son of a well-known New York
doctor, now deceased Mr.. Rawlins
declares he went to Bellevue hos
pital to make inquiry about the re-
quirements for entrance to the
nursing school, but was told by
some nurse that they had a school
for male nurses "but not for col
ored."
DR.. Goldwater, who declares the
department of hospitals will not
tolerate a policy of discrimina-
tion on account of race, creed or
color, is waiting the return of one
nurse from her vacation in order
to ascertain all the facts in the
case.

Five Perish In
Arkansas Fire

Helena, Ark.-(ANP)-Five per-
sons were burned to death here
Monday when flames swept a row
of three small frame houses in the
Negro section of Helena, and did
property damages estimated at
$4,000.
The victims, all colored, were
Hannah Hughes, aged woman of
near Helena who had been visiting
in one of the homes; Ella Mae
Williams, her neice; Charles Sims
of this city; and Willie Walker
and a child named Walker, of Chi
cago.
All the victims occupied the
house in which the fire started and
apparently were trapped when it
was suddenly enveloped in flames
before dawn. Occupants of the adj
joining houses escaped. Officials
believed the fire was started by an
overturned kerosene lamp.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.-(ANP)--
Convicted of Staying Negro man
and paroled after serving seven
years of 81 year sentence, Ra-
chael Beatrice Crutcher, alias Ra-
chael Roberts, 35, confessed to Lit
tie Rock police Wednesday that
she had recently killed her second
man, Dave Pohlmeyer, 50 and

The woman has a long police
record and had a record of being
ready to WELD knife at the
slightest provocation. Albert Smith,
her first victim was shot to death.
The white man was found with his
throat slashed in an alley.
Police, assigned to the case,
found evidence pointing toward this
woman. Officers searched her
home and found a blood-stained
dress, bloody shoes and a long
knife on which there were traces
of blood, they declared. When the
woman was arrested and confront
ed with this evidence, officers de-
clare she admitted snatching bill

ed her. She pulled her knife,
slashed his throat and ran to her
home. There she changed cloth

N. Y. County

Discrimination

White Plains, N. Y.-Asserting
that there can be no justification
for discrimination against any pro-

ne county-owned beach and plea
e1re resort.
For years colored people have
mad difficulty in buying tickets
and enjoying the facilities at Play
land Last year the N. A. A. c. p.
went to court and secured the con-
viction, under the New York civil
rights law, of a white cashier who
refused to sell tickets to colored
persons desiring to use the beach.
Since that time some colored peo-
pie have used the beach at Play
land, but most of them have stay
ed away. Persons interested in be-
ing certain that the victory is won
are urging colored residents Of
Westchester county and of New
York City to avail themselves of
the Playland resort to be sure that
the policy of no discrimination is
carried out. Dr.. Collymore placed
the matter squarely before the Re-
publican county committee, which
is the power in Westchester poll
tics.
Miss Grace Mott Johnson, white
sculptress, who is member of the
N. A. A. G. p, and who was active
in the discrimination case won last
summer, urges groups of colored
people to go the Playland and use
all the facilities. Miss Johnson
stands ready to assist in any way
possible in seeing that the rule of
no discrimination is enforced.
Miss Johnson also urges that col
ored people contend for some of
the jobs at Playland which is a
public unsupported amusement
park.

Applicants Seek
Old-Age Pension

Due to the fact that "Old Age
Assistance" is a part of the Social
Security Act and under Federal
Control, future applicants must
present more definite proof that
are seventy years of age or more.
Heretofore, in the absence of
other proof, the statement from a
physician was accepted, but this
is no longer sufficient. Some
written statement of age made at
least five years previous to appli-
cation for assistance must be pre-
scented.
This will undoubtedly create q
hardship for many citizens born
in slavery or shortly afterward,
because no records were kept at
that time. For their benefit the
following suggestion are offered:
To secure registration from cleo
ton commission, which will show
age at the time of registering to
vote; insurance policies ;-active
or inactive; lodge record; church
record marriage certificate; proof
of age from oldest child in family;
affidavit from a relative or some
one intimately acquainted with ap-
plicant and having knowledge of
applicants age; hospital record.
The applications made during past
sixty days will aso be affected by
this new requirement and probably
cause applications to be denied.
Therefore, those with applications
on file will do we'll to send in any
further proof of age in their pos
session.
