you upon your splendid record and
wish for you many years of con-
tinued good health and rest, which
you so richly deserve"
Or Warfield's retirement will be-
come effective on November II,
when he will be 70 years of age.
Or. T. Edward Jones, assistant
chief surgeon, will be acting chief
surgeon beginning Monday when
Or. Warfeld will begin taking his
accumulated annual leave
Born in Hyattsville, Price Geor-
ges county, Maryland, on Novem-
Der II, 1886, he began working on
a farm when he was a boy. With
$2O25 in his pocket he went to
Baltimore to attend Morgan col
lege. In the old Camden station he
gave boy rs cents to show him
the way to the college. The college
took his $40 and gave him a job
tending the furnace. With that and
other jobs he worked his way
through five years of schooling
there. In the summer he worked
as a waiter at White Sulphur
Springs and elsewhere. He was
graduated from Morgan college in
1891, and entered the Medical
School of Howard university, from
which he was graduated in 1894.
When DR.. Warfield began his
internship at Freedmen's hospital
in 1894 the institution comprised a
half dozen, disconnected old frame
buildings. There were four in
ternes. There were no graduate
nurses nor nursing school. The
wards were heated by stoves plac-
ed at one end.
In 1895 he was made a second
assistant surgeon, and the follow
ing year he was made first assis-
tant surgeon. He was named sur
geon in chief in 1901. Today the
hospital is recognized as a Glass A
institution by the American Medi-
cal Association and the American
College of Surgeons. There are "a
internes. 1t has 1922 beds.
DR.. Warfield is married and re-
sides with his family here. He has
two children.

DE M S SEE K
TO PLACE
WHITES

Opelika, Ala.-Charges that a
definite plot TO replace the Negro
officials at Tuskegee Veterans
Hospital with whites led to the re-
cent indictment of fifteen former
officers and employees of that insti-
: tuition, are being freely voiced
here. Opinion expressed in circles
usually we'll informed is to the eff
feet that the plotters definitely
chose the time to bring the dis
charges to pass, fighting that und
a Democratic organization it would
be easier to carry out their plans.
The Tuskegee Veterans Hospital
was created by a Republican Con-
gress and established by Presi-
dent Warren G.. Harding, who
stood adamant on the plea Of DR..
r. r. Motion against the wishes OF
the Democratic South that a white
official staff be kept in charge and
Negroes given places only as I'M
derlings, orderlies, maids and
flunkeys.
Dedicated by Coolidge
The hospital was dedicated by
Vice President Calvin Coolidge,
later to become Republican presi-
dent of the United States. Presi-
dent Coolidge maintained the same
keen interest in the hospital as
had characterized President Hard
ing's regime.
It was not until a Democratic
administration came into power
chat the South felt free to press
its deep-laid and persistent plans
to cast aspersion upon the Negro
leadership at the institution.
During Republican administra-
ton the hospital was repeatedly
cited for excellence in administra-
ton and efficiency. Laxness on the
part of the officers in charge, who
it is said became involved after a
time in the petty and trifling ap-
preparation of supplies, reliably
reported not to exceed $500 over
period of years, gave the enemies
of the institution their opportuni-
ty. How these southerners, resent
ing the freedom and authority ex-
ercised by the Negro officers, took
advantage of the party in power
and conspired with an investigator
of the Veterans Bureau who care
fully built up a case against these
helpless Negroes, Is an interesting
story Of chicanory.
What the race stands to lose If it
loses control of Tuskegee Veterans
Hospital may be summarized as
follows:
The hospital has more than 500
employees, "a of these being physi-
clans officers and many being high
ly trained and skilled people. The
commander received $4,000 per
year salary with a home free. The
budget for salaries per year was
s45O,000 and for maintenance
1915, 900.
COlOred Americas Outstanding
Achievement
The institution afforded the most
outstanding demonstration Of pro-
fessional attainment and executive
ability upon the part of the race,
yet developed in America.

he knew another sharecropper,
William Taylor, who had been bold
enough to get away years before.
When Mrs. Napier found out Andy
had gone, she had his wife, Mrs.
Maude Shinholster, arrested. Mrs,
Shinholster remained in Jail 10
days because she couldn't tell
where either her husband or the
hog had gone.
Friends and relatives begged the
money to get her out. 1t was a $50
fiine-for what, nobody knows
and SO to pay for the food she ate
while lying in the little Jail. Then
she hurried North, too.
When Georgia asked for his eX-
tradition, Andy told his story. II
is being investigated by Deputy
Attorney General Adrian Bonnelly
upon whose report Governor Earle
will base his decision on the extra
dition request.
He has told them how, although
sharecropper, he never got any
shares" no matter how hard the
worked or how big the crop. The
profits went to the owner of the
plantation. Except for the SO OF
81 handout at Christmas time he
never received a penny in 30 years
They always told him he owed
them money, although all he got
. was one butternut shirt and one
pair of overalls once year plus a
monthly ration of flour, molasses
sugar and fatback. He knew he
was being cheated, but didn't know
what to do about it until the spirit
moved him to leave.

CITES BILL OF
RIGHTS In COP
PLATFOR M

Tampa, Flaw. G. Underwood,
publicity director of the Republic
can Executive Committee of Of the
state of Florida, last week sounded
can Executive Committee of the
Landon-Knox ticket by colored
voters. Mr.. Underwood pointed out
that Section 2, of the Republican
Platform, under the subhead, The
Bill of Rights, calls for equal OPP
portunity for colored citizens. This
section reads as follows:
1--WE favor equal opportunity for
our colored citizens. We pledge our
protection of their economic status
and personal safety. We will do
our best to further their employ
ment in the gainfully occupied life
Of America, particularly in private
industry, agricultural life, emer-
gency agencies and the civil SER
vice.
I'VE condemn the present New
Deal policy which would regiment,
and eventually eliminate, the color
ed citizens from the country's pro-
ductive life, and make him solely
ward of the federal government"
Not Sectional
Mr.. Underwood's statement de-
clared further: "As Governor Lam
don stated, the Republican Party
is not sectional. 1t treats all min
ority groups alike, in all sections
OF the country. 1t has never con-
spired to keep Negroes from exer-
cising the right of franchise nor
passtrick laws, SO as to make his
vote ineffective.

"The administration has failed
miserably to take ull advantage of
its opportunities" Mr.. Thomas
said. New Dealers have wracked
their brains trying to make jobs to
both spend money and put the un-
employed to work. The federal
slum clearance projects will, when
completed and the new houses
made available, remedy only a
fraction of this condition. If more
of these billions had been spent
clearing slums and erecting mod

DEKELOpS HAYES

Washington passed up Jack Hayes few years back because he could not hit Yet this same Hayes, un- der Jimmy Dykes, has been thump- ing the ball at 300 clip most of the season He has been depend able in the field. too And then there is Tony Piet, another castoff. Tony has been doing all right for the Sox despite the fact that he had outlived his usefulness in the National league.
 Dykes has one of the smartest coaches in the business in Muddy Ruel. The success of several of the White Sox pitchers is his success. There is little about the business of tossing 'em up that the little veteran does not know. He is large ly responsible for Sugar" Cain, a St. Louis Brown castaway, having acquired control after others had given him up as hopeless. He helped Dietrich immensely when he dis covered that the main fault with the bespectacles hurlers form was that he was not gripping the ball properly
 The success of the White Son under Dykes is all the more amaz- ing because Lou Comiskey has not spent any great sum to put ball club on the field Ii he has spent as much as $1O0,o00 in the last three years for ball players there is no record of it.
 The White Sox may not hold the ground they have gained, but whether they finish in second place or not one thing is certain-Jimmy Dykes has done a grand job of pi- loting the Chicago team. Few man. agers have ever done as well with second hand material.
