CHURCH WOMEN'S
WORK IN RACE

Southern M e tn dist Women's
Board Of Home Missions to visit
the biennial session of the National
Federation of Colored Women's
Clubs at Tuskegee, Ala. AS a re-
suit of this contact there was held
in the fall of that year at Mem
phis, Tenn, meeting Of invited
delegates from the white churches
of the South, to which four lead
ing Negro women were asked to
bring a statement of what they felt
to be done to correct racial preju-
dice and improve relations between
the races. The significance of that
meeting was profound. For the
first time white and Negro women
together discussed race problems
in terms of their common response
bility as Christians, and went away
with the feeling that they had seen
the dawn of. a new day in race re-
lations. ...
In the fifteen years which have
passed since that meeting in Mem
phis, the inter-racial movement
among church women has spread
from that small group of Southern
women to all of the denominations
which are a part Of the Federal
Council of Churches.
Among the projects sponsored
and carried out by the church
women's group throughout the
country are the holding of inter
racial conferences in local commu-
mites, the building up of inter
racial committees, the promotion of
Race Relations Sunday, studies of
local conditions, notably one on
disqualification and health oppor-
tunities for Negroes; the pubica-
ton of an inter-racial news letter
and programs for use in women's
societies, cooperation in the anti
lynching campaign, especially in
pushing the passage Of the COST
gan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, etc.
The Federal Council of Churches
in America now sponsor the Race
Relation Program in every city
where there is a local chapter.
The Y. W. C. A., Urban League,
and Halle @. Brown House have
united for the last four years in
the observance of Race Relations
Sunday. Each year program is
held at either the Y. w. C. A. or
Halle Q. Brown House, at which
time a speaker is, selected to give
an address to an inter-racial audi
ence on some subject pertaining to
better race relations. Sunday,
February 9, at 4 p. M, Prof. c. H.
Duniway of Carleton College in
Mortified, Minnesota, will speak
on the subject of 'The Democracy
of Lincoln" The meeting is to be
held at the Halle @. Brown House.
Pilgrim Baptist Church Choir, un-
der the direction of Mr.. A. v. Hall,
will render the music. The public
is urged to attend this meeting.
During the week there will be
other interesting features of Race
Relations week. Thursday, Febru-
airy 13, DR.. Steiner of Grinnell Col
lege, Iowa, an outstanding author
ity on race relations, will speak at
the Peoples Forum at the Peoples
Church in st. Paul, at 8 p. m. DR..
Steiner is particularly well pre-
pared to talk on the subject Of
Race Relations, having been an i'm
migrant himself. He is the author
of a book, con the Trail of the
Immigrant" which is used in many
classes of sociology as a text book.
The public is urged to attend this
meeting for which there is no

will be sponsored this year; as
usual, by the Phyllis Auxiliary,
Mrs. Frances Duncan, president,
and will be celebrated by a din
ner and program at the House,
Tuesday, February II, at $50 p. m.
Other Years
In former annual meetings it has
been possible to send outside the
city for a speaker, with a special
message. In later years, owing to
changed economic conditions, it has
been found advisable to substitute
for this feature presentations from
the work actually carried on in
the House. This change has fitted
exactly to the moods of it's patrons
and the affairs have gone forward
to the perfect satisfaction of the
hundreds who crowd the big gym
atithe House to capacity.
Eleventh Annual
This year marks the 18th mile
stone in its history and Miss w.
Gertrude Brown, head resident, is
expected to report no lessening of
its activities and a decided increase
in the value of the service it has
offered the people of this commu-
nifty.

The program, chief feature of
the entertainment accompanying
the dinner, will be one of those
charming skits by one of the dra-
matte groups directed by Miss M.
Louise Bohanon, dramatic depart
ment head.
Music
The evenings musical numbers
will be given by newly formed
chorus developed from the WPA
sewing unit, employed at the house
and trained by Mrs. Blanche o.
Mason, head of the department of
music.
Service
Service at the dinner, an always
important factor in the annual din
ner, will be in charge of members
from the Goth Century Club and
walters from the Curtis Hotel.
Menu
The menu will be prepared under
the critical eye Of Mrs. Mayme
Battles and the guests will be, well
coined by groups selected from the
staff and auxiliary.
Reservations
Invitations are already in the
mails and those who are intending
to come are urged to make prompt
reservation by mail, phone or in
person. This will enable the man
agement to exercise its usual care
in looking after" its guests: The
small price Of Soc per plate has
not been changed this year.

SAN FRANCISCO, February as
American women who served overseas
during the World War were praised
yesterday by Mrs. Herbert Hoover for
having worked "as efficiently, as ef-
fectively, as untiringly as though you
were doing 1t under the most ideal
homeland conditions of any business
or professional woman"
The wife of the former President,
greeting members Of the Women's
Overseas Service League. recalled the
countless tasks league members per-
formed while in the service, and de-
clared these women ARE still enlisted
together. and fighting on in our way
in the way We learned together"
Mrs. Hoover, member Of the leagues
San Francisco unit, spoke during the
organizations nationally broadcast
program.
I'VE who stood facing each other
across the broken bodies on those
army cots, we who know the
sound of singing shell and bursting
shrapnel. we realize now that
war is still on, that it has been going
on for thousands of years, and will

ference and with the French demands
for an Anglo-French air pact as the
price Of French signature on four
power naval conference treaty.
Another high quarter said that the
British were greatly disillusioned" by
the recent japanese withdrawal from
the conference and that Japan's action
partially influenced today's proposal.
Another added reason for the pro-
posal was surmised to be the fact that
France and the United States have
been in opposition to each other in
the conference over the French de-
mand that the maximum size of bat
tleships be limited to 27,500 tons,
while the United States has been hold
ing out for a 35,000-ton maximum.
The American delegation claimed
that the United States needed larger
battleships because Of the fact that
her naval bases are at such distances
that long cruising radii are needed
and that such can only be achieved
by means Of large ships.
The italian stand was interpreted
in conference quarters as dealing a
heavy blow to hopes for a new treaty
to replace the Washington and Lon
don naval limitations treaties. de-
nounced by Japan and expiring at the
end Of this year.
The italian declaration to the Brit
ish delegation confirmed unofficial ad-
vance information that such q move
would be made, and cast II Duce's
decision in an apparently completely
uncompromising light.

The most interesting story behind
the McMullen court MARTA: never
came out. It was buried In briefs
which defense counsel had on the
table in the court room but did not
get into the record. Consequently
no one is mentioning the matter pub
licly, just yet, although you may hear
about it soon.
The story centers around the or
ganization of company in 1882 to
obtain a contract from the War De-
partment for the purchase of sur
plus goods, and its subsequent efforts
to get the contract amended.

No one can talk to Secretary Ickes
about curtailing Federal agencies. He
says agencies will not be cut down
until Congress wants them cut down

The man who told the Flemington jury
Bruno Richard Hauptmann will be
thawed out when he hears that switch

bergh baby will not escape the chair.
Attorney General David T. Wilentz

Florida late this afternoon to reply to
Gov. Harold g. Hoffmans attack on
two Of the States witnesses against
Hauptmann.
He Is expected to confer at once
with County Prosecutor Hauck to get
a first-hand account Of the latest de-
velopments in the case.
Hauptmann Is under sentence to die
about March 80, but prosecution on
cials believe another reprieve may be
granted unless they act quickly.
To Oppose Reprieve.
Wilentz called the reprieve granted
by the Governor January 16 illegal,
and said at that time he would oppose
another unless circumstances warrant.
He is expected to tell the Governor
the latter's attack on the integrity of
the two State witnesses, Millard Whited
and aged Amandus Hochmuth, Is not
grounded on fact.
The Governor has indicated he may
seek legal advice on the validity Of

he had seen Hauptmann prowling in
the woods near the Lindbergh estate
shortly before the kidnapping, March

Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of vir-
ginis foresaw today a possibility of
saving hundreds of millions of dol
lars yearly" as result of a resolu-
ton passed by the Senate.
The chamber, in response to o sug-
gestion by Byrd, decided to set up a
committee to study Government
agencies to see II any should be CO.
ordinated, abolished or their personnel
reduced.
There are approximately 100000
employees in Washington now" Byrd
said, "as compared with 5000 when
President Roosevelt was inaugurated
"Over the whole country there are
100000 more regular employees of the
Government than there were in
March, 1888"
Billion Tax Bill.
Byrd Is advocating a new, billion
dollar tax bill this session on the
ground people should be reminded
that Government activities must be
paid for some time"
Indications today on Capitol Hill
were that the President might send
his tax suggestions to Congress late
this week, but many legislators ex-
pect them to be confined largely to
$500, 900 900 to finance the new farm
legislation.
Chairman Doughton, Democrat, of
North Carolina Of the House Ways
and Means Committee said the tax
measure would be written by Con-
gress and not by any Government de-
partment."
Certainly we want to hear from
Mr.. Roosevelt and from the Treasury
as to the need OF additional finances, i"
he said, but our committee has ideas
of its own about getting the money

Senator Clark, Democrat, Of Mis-

,THE diplomatic antics Of the
French at London are no lnys-
tery to our people. Ambassa.
L dor at Large Norman Davis
has tipped the top officials what to
expect.
The basic trouble is that Britain
wants to bring Germany into any gem
eral naval agreement reached at Lon
don. The French government fears
it will fall II 1t agrees to German par
ticipation. The anti-Nazi group in
France is asserting that such a step
would legalize German violation Of
the Versailles treaty.
So the French are putting on q
little show for domestic French con-
sumption, battling about battleships.
seeking to impress the French people
with the great fight to- save them
some money in naval construction.
The top fellows here fear that the
French may use our refusal to bulge
on the battleship issue as an excuse
to run out on all London agreements
but they do not much care.
Hitler Worries France.
The way our people figure it out, Mr..
Muscle-in started that story about the
Italian-Germany-Aust pact for
the effect it would have on the London
naval meeting.
The last time it was Mr.. Hitler who
made overtures to II Duce for a re.

turned him down.
