enStein, now II years old, relates
is one of the most interesting
recollections of his day in the gun
factory.
He points out that six years ago,
when he was retired from the Navy
Yard because of disability, the big
guns were capable of being fired
in So seconds.
Learning his machinistS' trade
in Jackson, Tenn. and Mobile, Ala,
Mr.. RauchenStein began his career
at the local Navy Yard in 1901.
He now relates that his work
held such great interest for him
that "he didn't have time to see
what else was going on around
the shop" and he has been awarded
the gold medal for continuous pay
ment of machinistS' union dues
for 35 years without ever having
become delinquent. Naturally, he's
proud of this.
Despite his six-year absence
from his work since his retire
ment, Mr.. RauchenStein still be.
lieveS he could produce a good
days work, asserting:
81 think I can still get more
out of that old boring drill than
anybody else down there"
However, his pride and joy of
the present are his daughter and
three grandchildren, with whom
he spends as much time as pos
Sible. When he can't be with them,
though, he busies himself with odd
jobs about his and his daughters
home, and last, but not least.
comes his reading. Of which he is
extremely fond.

K. AS See Mrs.
Roosevelt About
Discrimination


Washington, Feb. 1, GA. N. P.)
Complete details of the visit of
Miss Ida L. Jackson and DR.. Dor
othy Ferebee of the Alpha Kappa
Alpha sorority to Mrs. Franklin
Delano Roosevelt at the White
House following that groups an
nual boule at Richmond recently,
and their discussion with her of
the Mississippi health project and
railway discrimination were re-
vealed to the Associated Negro
Press this week.
The nations first lady chatted
without apparent reserve and she
seemed extremely interested in the
health project. an undertaking
which revealed many Of the sordid
peonage and suffering in the Miss
issippi cotton areas.
EuHua ASKED
We realize federal monies are
appropriated to the South for var
ious projects that should benefit
the Negro as we'll as others, but
unfortunately these monies rare
" filtered through or down to
where the Negro received any ben
tefit,o Miss Jackson, who is the
national head of the A. K. As,
asserted" We feel that this pro-
ject proves that Negroes can go
into the South and work with and
for Negroes.
eve believe that the time has
come for the government to real
ize that if Negroes are to obtain
any benefits or have a chance, Ne
groes must be assigned to posts
so as to carry out such a plan"
Mr.. Roosevelt intimated that she
considered the idea feasible and
suggested that this or a similar
plan might be worked out as a P.
w. A. project, if there we're avail
able enough Negro workers ca
pable of conducting the project.
She reminded her visitors they
would have to be on relief rolls to
be eligible for PWA employment.
AS an alternative, the presidents
wife suggested that the sorority
continue to sponsor and supervise
the project with paid assistants
who were qualified and on relief.
Tell of Jim Crow
The two visitors also told the
First Lady of their trip here from
the convention in Richmond dur
ing which they were crowded into
a small Jim Grow coach inadequate
for the journey. Miss Jackson said
she was informed that white wo-
men in the South have stated they
are willing for Negro women to
not the same. The sorority leader
pointed out it was not a matter
of sharing a Pullman car with
whites but the right to have equal
accommodations for travel and
comfort as those provided for the
other patrons.
Mrs. Roosevelt told her visitors
she was interested in their prob
lem but suggested that some such
organization of white women as
the Women's Federation of Clubs,
might be able to handle the prob
lem better than could the soror-
ity.
The two sorors took the grant
ing of the interview with them at
a time when Mrs. Roosevelt's cal
endar was crowded, as evidence
of her genuine interest in the
health project.

SINGERS ART
SUPERB.
Marian Anderson's Second New
York Audience 0verflows
Americas Music Spot

New York, Jan. 31-(ANP)-
Marian Anderson, contralto, fresh
from her Town Hall triumph of
just three weeks ago, essayed to
enchant another and larger audi
ence at Carnegie Hall Monday. To
put it modestly and at the same
time comprehensively, the singers
art was one superb achievement
from beginning to end.
Of the seventeen numbers list
ed, only six composers shared hon
ors, al T either celebrated or
we'll known, two Of them immort-
ais. Miss Anderson's Bach con-
sisted for in opening group Of
Have Mercy Lord, Ny Heart Ever
Faithful land how personal her
delivery Of this wasl) and Komm
suesser Tod; her Brahms, Tmmer
Leise wird mein Sehlammer, Der
Schmidt, Die Mainaeht. These to-
gether with Richard Strauss, Nor
gen and Weighing made up the
second group Then came Hum
mel's Halleluia. The final fourth
and fifth lists comprised works by
Sadero and Harry Burleigh: Era
Amuri Tarantella by the former,
and Swing Low Sweet Chariot, I
Don't Feel No Ways Tired. Deep
River and Heav'n Heav'n by the
latter. "Amuri, Amuri," was a
touching piece of dramatization
and shared honors with the rapid
diction of the Tarantella.
The well known "Deep River
probably best represented Mr..
Burleigh.
Marian Anderson's interpreta.
tons have risen to great heights
within recent years. She not only
has won the plaudits of the public
but the approval of distinguished
vocal pedagogues as well, which
is the more substantial recommen-
dation. A sold-out house in these
times was probably not an~ticipat-
ed and so enthusiasm ran high.
Some of it got into the box, of
fice and the courtesy press tickets
intended for this reviewer were
sold (unintentionally we hopel)
with the others. So that 1--WE" were
compelled to stand during the per
formance. Two we'll known max
inns apply very ~pointedly here:
otis an i'll wind that blows no
one good, and Distance lends
enchantment". We were able dur
ing the standing act" to hear
Miss Anderson from various points
of the auditorium To those who
were close by the intense sincerity
of her art was most apparent,
to the rest the exquisite beauty
of her voice everprevalent was
Enthusiastically obvious and en-
trancing.
In the matter of encores she
was deeply gracious. Besides hav-
ing to repeat Bach's "Komm, Sues
ser Tod" and Brahms "Der Sch
mied" Miss Anderson followed
HummePs "Halleluia" with the
"Swiss Echo Song" Sadero's "Tar-
antella" with her accompanies

the spirituals with the Cuckoo

Ras Desta Demtu, Emperor Halle
Selassies son-in-law, had been de-
posed from his army command
and put in chains because of his
recent defeat in the south.
1t was said that Demtu was
taken to Dessye by airplane after
being discovered in hiding in the
Sidamo country. He appeared be-
fore the emperor, the dispatches
alleged, with his hands bound with
an iron chain which would "re-
main on him for life" It was
further alleged that the emperor,
in a wild rage, denounced Demtu
and sent him into strict seclusiOn
on a mountain near Dessye. The

A half hour later Michael Leahy
another employee, heard a crash
The cranes cab, with Mccoy in
side, had fallen about 20 feet and
was pierced by a steel girder.
Muffled sounds from the Gao
told Leahy that Mccoy had been
injured. He summoned police and
firemen.
F,iremen raised a 60-foot eX-
tension ladder and one of them
climbed to the cab Mccoy could
be seen inside, his right arm pin
ned against the roof by the girder.
The cab had been crushed in
such a way that entrance was
impossible.
John Regain, a company rigger,
went up the ladder and, with an
acetylene torch, cut a hole in the
side of the cab, then descended.
DR.. Norman Gillmor Long took
his place at the ladder The phys
ician was preceded by Fireman
George Collins, who roped him
self to a girder and held another
rope to help support the doctor.
Collins also held a storage battery
lamp, the only source of illumina-
ton.
1t was necessary for DR.. LOny 20
clutch a rope with his right hand,
while performing the amputation
with his left hand through the
small aperture in the cabs side.
The extreme cold was both
friend and enemy to DR. Long.
Although he and his patient suf-
fered from exposure, the zero
weather acted as a natural tour
niquet, causing the blood to con-
geal and stemming the flow, which
in warmer temperature, might
have brought death to Mccoy.
AS the amputation progressed
morphine and whiskey were ad-
ministered.
When McCoy's arm had beer
removed at the shoulder, DR.. Lone
applied surgical snaps. Then the
patient was squeezed through the
narrow aperture, rope bounc
around his midsectiCn, and he was
lowered head-first, down the lad
der.

SPAIN STILL
DISTURBED BY
MINOR UNREST

MADRID, Feb. 10. U.P)-Scat-
tered unrest continued in Spain
today as the government of Pre-
mier Manuel Portela Valladares
resigned to make way for a left
wing government, in view of the
left victory in Sundays election.
The government will continue to

formed, probably under former
Premier Manuel Azana. The gov
eminent was perturbed by reports
of disorders in various parts of the
country and considered taking en-
ergetic measures.
The latest outbreak occurred to-
day in Bilbao, where prisoners
mutinied and set fire to the Jail.
The toll of casualties in ri0ting
since Sunday mounted to u dead
and more than 70 injured.
