TRAINING COURSE
IN HOTEL WORK

TUsKEGEn (ANP)---Dr. +. D.
Patterson has announced that Tus-
lxegee Institute win offer courses
Of study for hotel, restaurant and
dining car chefs, stewards and ca
terers.
The determination to add these
ana related hotel courses Of study
at Tnskegee comes IN response to
a need as voiced BY the hotel exc
cutipes, who believe that properly
trained Negro chefs and stewards
win be able to meet the present
day demand. They point out that
those responsible for the prepare
ton and serving Of food in hotels
today, must combine intelligence
with training as definite as that
received IN other professions.
Negotiations were started a few
weeks ago when delegation Of
hotel executives from Montgomery
visited the institute for confer
ence with Or, Patterson. Later,
at the instaace Of the Montgomery
group, DR.. Patterson went to New
York for further conferences
IN commenting upoa his Eastern
trip. Or. Patterson said, "All of the
hotel men with whom / talked,
told me that the scarcity Of good
and dependable chefs presents a
real problem to hotel kitchens. We
are very fortunate hCre at Tuske-
gee to have ample facilities in q
modern kitchen and special labora-
tories FOR adding these new cours-

NAACP SAYS PAST
BRANDS BORAH
UNFIT FOR PRES

NEW YORK - In reply to Rep
resentative Hamilton Ffsh's de-
Tense of Senator William E. Borah
as a presidential candidate, the
Idaho senator's record is cited by
the NAAcP as being such as to
brand him as unfit Cor the high
office Of President in the eyes of
American Negro voters.
The reply to Representative Fish
was called forth by his recent talk
defending Mr.. Borah's opposition
to federal anti-lynching legislation
and viciously attacking the inte-
gritty of the Negro press.
Borah and Representative FIsa
are charged by the NAAcP as try
ing to change the issue and divert
attention from Senator's Borah's
record by trying to place the other
candidates on the spot" In his
letter Mr.. Fish said: Just why
Senator Borah should be expected
to lead the fight for an unconsti-
tutional anti-lynching bill 1 am un-
able to figure out" The NAACP
points out that Mr.. Borah was ne
yer asked to lead the fight for any
anti-lynching bill, and that the re-
sentiment of colored people toward
him is because he has never pro-
posed any plan to stop lynching in
his twenty-eight years in the Sem
ate, while at the same time he has
fought every attempt to get the
federal government to curb the
crime.

WORK AVAILABLE

Many workers not otherwise
employed have been reluctant to
take advantage of the opportuni-
ties now opened at coulee Dam
through the efforts Of TIE Depart

complaint that the new MRS Man

Ny dear Mr.. jackson:
This viii acknowledge your let
ter Of March 10th relative to en-
ployment of Negro laborers on
USBR Project No. 9. Coulee Dam.
Insofar as MIS- is concerned
there win be no discrimination
against Negroes, and no employee
of the MRS win be allowed to at
tempt to influence either employ
ers or workers to the disadvantage
of Negro workers. I believe no
employee of the Service would be
disposed to discriminate against
any class or race contrary to the
rules which govern us. assure
you that any actual or apparent
activities of MRS employees to the
detriment of any class or race win
be investigated raomptly and thor
oughly, and that appropriate ac-
ton will be taken.
Yours very truly,
(signed) s. E. Hutton
Associate Director
Mr.. jackson further adds that
two and one-half years of work to
open up this opportunity to color
ed workers will have been in viii
unless more men accept these jobs
now made available. 1.-THE repeti-
ton of the disgraceful discrimin-
alton which characterized Boulder
Dam operations is now avoided,
but unless Negroes show them
selves interested enough to at least
try to hold some Of the jobs now
open, then it is to be doubted If the
Department of the Interior can be
interested in further cases of pro-
tests Of discrimination of this kind.
What we need in the Negro race,
among other things, is few more

This play, however, allowed de-
clarer to make six-odd, while with
the king of hearts opening it took
skillful play on the part of de-
clarer to make his contract.
Here is the play as given by
Richards:
When VESTS king of hearts held
the trick, he continued with the
ace, which was trumped with the
ten of spades. If declarer now
made the mistake of trying to ruff
out his losing diamonds, his con-
tract would have been defeated.
Declarer took two rounds of
trump, East showing out on the
second round and discarding a
diamond. A club was led and won
by West with the ace.
West continued with the jack of
hearts, but declarer did not ruff
this trick: otherwise, West would
have had command of the trump
situation. South made a safety
play and discarded the eight of
diamonds.
Now west was helpless. Declarer
had the rest of the tricks. If a
heart were continued, this could
be ruffed in dummy with the nine
of spades, and the outstanding
trumps picked up.
