Solved Battling Mystery

Not long ago France was baffled
by an unusual murder mystery.
Within a week three friends, two
men and a woman, were stabbed to
death on the border of a small town.
All we're armed and no struggle had
taken place. The soggy earth
around them showed only the hoof-
prints of a horse. Later the mur.

side their radios. This required a
special rule in the house for with
out 1t that body can meet but once
a day; and the minority leaders
made no considerable objection.
But Chairman Fletcher of the
Republican national committee was
so aroused by Mr.. Roosevelt's plan
that he demanded equal time on the
national radio chains for a Repub-
lican reply. Mr.. Fletcher was sar-
castle In his comments, saying:
1.-THE Presidents decision to dram
atize his message and to bring down
TO the level of a political speech
his constitutional right and duty to
address the congress on the state
of the Union, is understandable In
the light of past performances"
Senator Dickinson of Iowa de-
nounced what he called ian attempt
to use congress as the sounding
board for a grand stand play by the
President" but Senator Borah said
he had no objection to the plan and
no criticism to offer.
Anyhow, the President went
ahead with his program and In his
message gave his view Of the IA
TONS present condition, naturally
holding that the New Deal was
proving a success.

Lord Byron Bob Is Latest
Mode for English Women

The 'Byronic Bob" named after
the lady : killing author of Don
JUAN" is the latest thing In Eng
fish women's hair styles.
A modified version of the "Bton
Crop" 1t features a long, luxuriant
lock at the front, which Is waved
to fall negligently across the brow
at the side and ever the crown In
a manner which the Nineteenth
century girls found Irresistible in
Lord Byron.
Although the hair is still shorn
close at the back Of the head and
the nape of the neck, 1t is no long
err considered stylish to carry the
shorn effect to the sides Of the
head. The whole style Is more
glrllsh in that the wavy lock pre-
vents the hard appearance which
the "Eton Crop" gave to even
pretty faces.

Many house members agreed with
Harrison as to taxes. 1t wouldn't
be good policy to pass such meas
ures this sessions for there will
be elections in 435 congressional
districts In 1896.
Pat Harrison took a crack at
the Liberty league and its legisla-
tive program offered to congress.
The league, he said. was "ready to
take over the legislative and judi
clal functions" of the national gov
ernment and might be magnanimous
enough to take over the executive
branch as well. The senator called
the league a "lobby" and described

said relief legislation and relevant
statutes provided another way to
handle such purchases.
It was believed McCarl's ruling
would not affect AAA plans for pur-
ehases for diversion purposes and
not for relief distribution. An Of
fer has been made for purchases
of surplus potatoes from the 1885
crop, to be diverted Into Industrial
channels. Officials said, however,
they did not expect growers to take
advantage Of this offer because OF
recently advanced prices for pota-

TWO major issues that call for
l. quick consideration by congress
are neutrality and the veterans
bonus. The existing neutrality law
expires on February 20, and the
President and his advisers have de-
termined that a new law shall be
passed which will give him broad
discretionary powers with regard
to shipments, loans and credits to
belligerents. There is In congress
a strong group, headed by Senator's
Clark OF Missouri, V~andenberg of
Michigan and Nye of North Dakota
and Representative Maury Maverick
of Texas, that demands extension
of the present mandatory neutral
ity law. Presumably the new meas
ure will be a compromise.
Speedy passage of bonus pay
ment legislation is expected, for its
proponents are determined and Wig
orous. officials of the American
Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars
and Disabled American Veterans
have just agreed on a bill which
will include these provisions:
Immediate full cash payment OF
the adjusted service certificates.
Refund of interest paid on loans
on certificates.
Cancellation Of interest accrued
and unpaid.
Provision that veterans who do
not desire to cash their certificates
may draw interest upon the matur-
ity value thereof (less principal OF
loan, If any, to be paid thereon
from a date to be specified.
Provision for issuance of special
government obligations In lieu of
adjusted service certificates to the
value of about a half a billion dol
larsa now held as security by the
United States life insurance re-
serves account.
The veterans organizations esti-
mated their united proposal would
entail a cash expenditure Of APP
proximately $1,000, 100000, rather
than the z, 200, 000, 900 generally ac-
cepted as the cost of payment.

Interracial Forum
Draws Large Crowd
At Indianapolis

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. Il
(ANP)-Under auspices of the
John Reed club, an interracial
forum of great significance as
a step towar dthe unity of Ne
gro and white people in Indian
apolis was held in Phillips c.
NJ. e. Temple, Friday night.
TIL general subject was "The
Future of the American Ne
gro." The Rev. A w. Wo-
mack, pastor of the Temple, and
chairman of the Indianapolis
NAACP, related the history of
the NAACP and its program.
He was followed by Andrew
Romes, (white) district organ
izer of the Communist Party.
DIR. Womack, who has just
returned from a tour of the
South, spoke with deep feeling
of the plight of the Negro to-
day, especially in the BLACK
Belt" Economic and political
discrimination, the intensity of
the economic crisis, and govern
mental Indifference are factors
which make some radical
change necessary for the future
betterment of the Negro people.
Not only is this true regarding
the south, but every section OF
the country he caid.
He further stated that the fu-
ture outlook for the American
Negro in many sections of the
country and along economic
and political lines is darker
than it was so years ago.
Speaking for the Communist
party, Andrew Romes states
that the Negro people consti-
tute "a nation within a nation
since they preserve a certain
definite historical indemnity
and posses physical, cultural
and economic unity.
He continued saying ever
since their theoretical omencipa-
ton this nation has played a
role very useful to the white
employing class. Oppressed and
degraded below the level of the
white laborer or professional
man, the Negro has competed
wit hthe white man and has
been forced to reduce below
the economic level Of all work
ers.

Romes continued, Labor in a
white skin, cannot be free while
labor in a black skin is enslav-
ed"

Negroes have shared without
discrimination in the $53, 800.
I550.36 spent by the U. S. on
relief, the official declares.
Eight districts administer the
WPA, with Arkansas itself aid
ing through the state welfare
commission. Negroes have been
employed in white collar pro-
jects and ON WPA which hires
all eligibles at fixed federal
pay scales in both skilled and
unskilled types of labor. Per-
centages by race are not known,
Allen asserts.
Excess In Education
In expenditures for education
Negroes came out far ahead be-
cause of the higher percentage
of i~lliteracy. There were $50
colored teachers and 627 whites
all receiving the same salary
basis. During 1934-35, there
were 5000 Negro adults taught
to read and write. Altogether,
20,153 eolored received instruc-
ton in addition to the nursery
and public schools.
All of the states Negro pub
lie schools were operated under
the educational program along
with whites and for full school
understanding not ordin-
arily done because of interior
enee with the cotton crop in
rural areas.
The oldest man taught to
read and write is Elijah Hookes
81 and the oldest woman is
Mary Bass, 104. AT the cher
extreme, the nursery schools,
there were equal accomodai ons
with the u. S. porviding an in
itial $3.50 for starting and $40
monthly for upkeep, according
to Allen.
No Improvement
Very little change is seen in
farming and manufacturing
since relief ha sheen given. Ev-
erything is dependent upon cot
ton. laundering, which once
provided seasonal jobs, was
practically terminated in 1928
30. Before the depression,
sharecroppers, etc, could get
off-season work by helping re-
pair the plantation but hard
times put a stop to this.
The floods and droughts
since 1927 caused many rural
people to receive practically
continuous disaster relief and
by the time the FERA went in-
to operation found it easier to
ge relief han work for a liv-
ing. This is true of both Negroes
and whites, Allen asserted.
Six sevenths of colored rural
ties are sharecroppers or farm
laborer. They are accustomed
to odd jobs after the cotton
season ends. As a result, they
are able TO secure more work
than the average white and
therefore do not get as much re-
lief per case, the official stated,
adding that in such cases relief
is supplementary but when Me-
groes and whites are similar in
case, without being aided by
jobs, the relief is the same.

Brinq Rise.

Although few scattered declines
were evident, the general price
trend of fruits and vegetables was
mostly higher at the Indianapolis
commission row during the. last
week.
Favorable shipping weather, COM
bined with a stronger demand for

pears.
With SUPPLIES running low in
many sections, apples maintained
firm price range, advancing as
much as Is cents a crate in some
Midwestern cities. Extra fancy
baskets from the Northern district
sold at $3.50.
Strawberries Up Cents
Strawberries recovered part of
the recent decline, moving up 2
cents pint. Grapefruit was I'M

Beans, lettuce a. d peas headed
the advance in vegetables. All
items were largely so cents higher
than week ago. Green round
