Acquittal of Jesse Owens
Is Expected This Week

COLUMBUS, Ohio (ANP) Be
lief that Jesse Owens viii be ac-
quilted Of all charges Of profess
sionalism when the cases are re-
viewed here this week, thus giving
the Ohio State University track
star a clean slate, was expressed
here Thursday.
The charges grew out of an in
yestigation which revealed that
Owes was holding a State job at
a salary Of $40 per week At the
initial hearing before the A.A.U,
supporters Of Owens pointed out
that there was no evidence to show
that the Buckeye star was being
employed because Of his prowess
on the track
When the first charge was hurl
ed against Owens It caused quite
stir in amateur athletic circles
and since that time q cloud has
hung over the track aces head.
This cloud is expected to be dis
PEELED at the heAsing this week
and he again win be declared elig-
ible for amateur competition. Ow-
ems is one of the mainstays of the
Buckeye track squad and was hon
ored last season by being elected
captain ct the team by his team

URGE MERGER OF
A.M.E. COLLEGES

BALTIMORE (By Davis Lee for
AMP The merging of all A.M.E.
colleges was advocated here Mon
day at the A.M.E. Ministerial al
lianco meeting.
The outlook of the A.M.E.
Church in the Field of Education"
was the subject of discussion. Ru-
NOR was current around town that
the body had gone on record advo-
eating the "scrapping'' of all the
A.M.E. colleges but two. Hearing
this, this correspondent interview
ed the Rev. B. G. Dawson, presi-
dent of the Alliance.
1--WE did not use the term scrap
ping in our iiscussion," he Rev.
Dawson explained. I'VE said that
it is foolish for the A.M.E. church
wi its limited means, to attempt
to compete With the States in the
field Of education. All Of the Sou
thern States are spending more
money now for Negro education
than they did years ago.
It is useless burden upon the
A.M.E. Church to even attempt to
operate these schools. Edward
Waters College, Paul Quinn Col
lege, Shorter College, and all the
rest should be merged, centralized
at one place. With one good, vel,
supported college in the south we
would be able to get a man of abil-
ity to head the school, Some of the
presidents of the present crop OF
A.M.E. schools are not fit to lead
themselves, much less someone
else.
''rhere is Kittrell College; moth
ing to It but a big name. And
there is Flipper Key Davis out
in Oklahoma, a little old thing with
big name; a practical joke. We
should merge them with Morris
Brown; then we could mobilize our
forces to one end and get some
where. We Should have Morris
Brown in the South and WILDER
force representing us in the other
section Of the country"
Would you. merge Western Uni
.versity with Wilberforce 2" he was
asked.
mo, Western University has a.
boIt merged itself Just leave it
alone. We have nothing out there
but one building"

Prophesy US. Olympic Winner

Summing up, this would give
Negroes six ffrsts, three seconds,
and two thirds in the coming
Olympics.
Proposals to alter the team sell
ection policy by naming number
of outstanding record breakers for
the squad, regardless of what hap
pens in the final tryouts, have been
discarded by the Olympic Commit
tee, as stated by Avery Brundage
president of the American Olym-
pic Committee at New York, prev
ious to sailing for the winter sports
of the Olynpics. He said:
THE only fair thing to do is to
conduct the tryouts, as formerly,
with the Olympic selections based
on actual performances in the fin
al tryouts We want to send over
the best possible team. But we
can't and won't play favorites.
There's too much dynamite there. /"
With this rule in force we will
nave more Negro athletes contend
ing and winning in the 1886 Olym-
pad than ever before in our his
tory. Barring unexpected acct
dents, these six boys should make
an all time record for the Ameri-
can Negro which of course would
command international attention.
They have commanded national at
tention for the past three years
and they will bear the hrunt OF the
competition in the six events mem
toned. Uncle Sam can depend on
them ito bring home the bacon, /"
and the submerged tenth may ac-
count for fifty per cent of points
scored by the U. S. ssaln.

WASHINGTON (ANP) Con-

Illinois presented a bill In Congress
here Thursday to remove the re-
auirements that applicants for ci-
vi service appointments submit
photographs, declaring that such a
requirement hindered the appoint

which they were qualified.
THAT rule" states the Congress-
man, was adopted in 1914 for the
specific purpose Of disbarring Ne
