can't say too much in praise for
the manner in which the entire
staff treated me.
I've heard of instances in the
South where medical attention was
refused Negroes; I've been through
forty-three different states and
have seen all manner of courtesies
and discourtesies. One thing / can
say for certain is that the staff at
Ancker Hospital is just about the
last word in efficiency. I GER
tainly give the institution credit
for maintaining a personnel of
such a high degree of competency
and especially for their interest in
all patients, regardless of race,
creed, or color. Certainly the work
of this great humanitarian institu-
ton should be encouraged.
Signed, Willie Miller.

ZION BAPTIST

If all of lions services were as
satisfactory as the one this re-
porter was able to attend last
Sunday, Zion certainly had a day
to be proud of. The eleven
a. m. service was very fully at
tended-result of the every mem
Der canvass, no doubt, and the
message Rev. H. w. Bolts brought
was thereby inspired to reach new
heights. Zion is still praying and
planning in all its departments to
reach and serve better, more and
more of our people.
There are good friends of the
Negro who view the recent act as
one of a challenging opportunity.

GIVES NO HINT
WHY SHE SHOT
SALESMAN
Auto Driving Lesson
Ends in Murder
In Kenosha

keno SHA, Wis, Oct. 10
QN.SO.-Led to the scene of the
crime by a hysterical girl who
allegedly admitted she had COM
mitted murder Thursday night,
police today found the body of
Herbert Winter, AZ, in a Sparsely
settled area west of the city.
The girl identified herself as
Miss Ruth Moran, 81, formerly
employed as a housemaid in High
land Park. She admitted, accord
ing to police, that she had shot
Winter last Thursday night.
Winter was a KenoSha automo-
bile salesman and recently had
sold Miss Moran car. On Thurs
day night, as police of Highland
Park and Kenosha reconstructed
the story, Winter and the girl
went for a ride, presumably so
the salesman could teach his Gus
toner how to drive.
Resigns Job
On Friday morning, Miss Moran
returned in historical condition
to her place of employment and
resigned, saying she was going to
her parents home in Milwaukee.
Her abandoned car was found
yesterday in Highland Park. In
it police discovered a mans coat
with papers indicating it was the
DrODertV of Winter.
Kenosha police were informed
of the discovery. They already
had been notified by Winters
wife that the salesman was miss
ing.
Making a quick trip to Milwau-
kee. the Kenosha authorities last
night arrested Miss Moran. She
still was in a hysterical condition
and at first denied any knowl-
edge of the salesman's where
about.
Gives No Reason
After an all-night grilling, how
ever, police said she broke down
and admitted she had shot Winter
in the back during the ride in her
car. She gave no reason for the
crime.
Miss Moran, a divorce, then led
police to the spot where she had
dumped out Winters body in a
patch of weeds beside lonely road
on the west edge of this city.
She admitted later, the police
declared, that she had committed
the crime with a pistol borrowed
from her employer.

Curtain Fails 10 Rise
On WPA'S New PLAY,
Hymn Of Rising Sun

CHICAGO. Oct. 10 UN.SO.-A
Federal Works Progress Admins
tration play, Hymn to the Rising
Sum-" struck a decidedly sour note
here today.
The play was scheduled to open
last night, but didn't.
Prospective playgoers in the
lobby of the theater were turned
away with no explanation.
The 10 white and colored mem
bers of the cast who had rehearsed
for several weeks could offer no
explanation.
George Kondolf, director of the
WPA theater project here, said
the play had failed to open for
technical reasons"
Robert J. Durham, head of the
WPA in Illinois, finally solved the
mystery. He said:
II stopped the play. 1t was
just called to my attention today
and read it. It's of such a
moral character that can't
even discuss it with the press"
