were increased when the Senate,
of which Black was a member,
passed the Summers Retirement
Act. Thus, he argued, Black
was barred by the Constitution
from accepting an appointment.
POINTS TO NEW ACT
Levitt pointed out that before
the Summers Retirement Act was
passed, a justice could voluntarily
leave the court only by resigna-
ton. If he had served 10 years
and was 10 he could resign and
still draw $4,000 a year pay.
But Congress had power to cut
the salary of a resigned justice.
1t did cut the salary of Justice
Holmes after he resigned. The
retirement act guaranteed a
justice full salary, which congress
could not cut, after he left the
bench. Thus, Levitt contended,
the office was made more attrac-
tive financially and Black had
voted for it.

ROYAL OAK, Mich, Oct. II
G.N.SO.-The dramatic decision
Of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin
to quit the air is due to apparently
irreconciliable differences between
Archbishop Edward A. Mooney
and the radio priest over the
c. I. O.. it was disclosed.
Father Coughlin believed, it was
said, that the Roman Catholic
Church should take a definite
stand on the C. I. O., perhaps con-
demning it, while Archbishop
Mooney said in statement last
week that no Catholic Church
authority has ever asserted the
C. I. o. incompatible with Cathol-
icy on the basis of its publicly
stated principles"
rs TALKS CANCELLED
Added also was the fact that
Father Coughlin feels that if the
archbishop will not allow him to
speak his mind on the c. l. o., the
radio priest also will be barred
from expressing frank opinions on
economic and political subjects on
his now-cancelled series Of 26 radio
talks this winter.
This information was given to
International News Service today
by Louis B. Ward. close friend and
biographer of the priest, after
Ward talked with Rev. Coughlin.
Ward pointed out how the radio
priest attacked the C. I. o. last
Tuesday, only to have Archbishop
Mooney issue statement Thurs
day in which the archbishop said
the church had no quarrel with |
the C. I. o.
REPLY REFUSED
Rev. Coughlin drafted a reply
to the archbishop and submitted
1t to the archbishop for approval
This the archbishop refused. Then
Rev. Coughlin announced he was
cancelling his winter broadcasts.
In his reply, it was learned, the
radio priest had pointed out how
he always had fought for collec-
tive bargaining and the rights of
labor. However, he felt that
American industry could not now
afford to meet the demands of
the C. I. O.. and he sided with in
dustry against the C. I. o.
Rev. Coughlan was remaining
in the seculsion of his parish house
at the Shrine of the Little Flower
here, while by mail, telegraph and
telephone, hundreds of the legions
who made up his vast radio audi
ence protested the announcement
he will quit the air.

SITS WITH JUSTICES

Justice Black, during the past
week, sat with other justices in
conference as a member of the
court. He left the conference,
however, early on Saturday after
noon, presumably to give the
other eight justices a chance to
discuss his case freely.
The challenges of Levitt and
Kelly were more in open court on
the day that Justice Black took
his seat, last Monday. At that
time Chief Justice Hughes in
formed the lawyers thta theJ
could file the papers,"
Many petitions for review of
New Deal laws were before the
justices for action today.
The Washington times., 1937-10-11
KELLY's CONVENTIONS

Kelly contended:
/. The Summers retirement
act, under which Justice Van
Devanter retired, is unconstitu-
tional because it attempted to
relieve a justice of active duty.
2. He also contended that
emoluments of the office were
increased. thus barring Justice
Black, even if the act were valid.
The Constitution, he pointed
out, prohibits a member Of Con-
gress, during his term, from be-
ing appointed to an office If
emoluments were incresaed dur
ing the term.
The legal questions raised by
Levitt and Kelly were debated in
the Senate before confirmation.
Noted lawyers in the Senate
were divided. Senator Borah R.)
of Idaho voted against Justice
Blacks confirmation solely on
the ground that no vacancy ex.
listed. Others contended there
was a vacancy,

autocratic powers in refusing to
abide by the Constitutional meth
cd of amendment; and that his ex-
pertinent was unwise and highly
dangerous in that it set a prece-
dent, the outcome of which in the
future no man could predict.
At a following meeting, where
the discussion conferred around
"Negro Women in the Textile In
dustry," Mrs. Combs disclosed the,
to many, amazing fact that thou
sands of colored women are en-
gagged in this branch of industry.
The story of the struggle to over
come the barricades of years and
the inherent prejudices of white
workers, and how economic safety
for these same workers finally in
duced them to remove the walls of
separation, was both fascinating
and enlightening.
It developed that the most in
fuence of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, as shown through
union prohibition to membership
and this, naturally, to fevered dis
cussion of the intents and purposes
of the c. I. o., recently showed into
the imelight by the actions of it's
courageous and militant leader,
John L. Lewis.
Among the thoughts brought to
the fore in the group discussion
were: The wisdom and reasonable
ness of demanding from the lead
ership of the C. !. o. definite as
surance of a more equitable treat
ment for the Negro people than
had been granted them by the A.
F. Of L.; the contra thought that
such a demand was presumptious
in that Mr.. Lewis could establish
his c. I. o. without any assistance
from the colored people and that
in inviting them in Mr.. Lewis, out
of the generosity of his heart, was
an opportunity to come in

HERE and
THERE
By W. n. Smith

If you live in Minneapolis drop
into the office of the Minneapolis
Spokesman some Saturday evening
and enjoy an hour or two of most
interesting contact with a group
meeting there, under WPA aus
pices, studying questions of eco
Monies and public affairs.
Mrs. Margaret Combs directs the
study. You will be surprised to
find the deep interest the discus
sions are awakening, the large
amount Of general information al
ready in possession of the group,
the intense concern of its MEM
bers in the vital problems now en-
gaging public thought, and espe-
cially in the sane consideration
given to individual expression of
opinion.
At recent gathering the late
attempt of the President of the
United States to change the char
acter of that venerable institution,
the Supreme Court, was the sub
ject of debate. This highly con-
troversial proposal developed as
much difference of opinion as has
the Congressional Investigations of
the same subject.
/ believe the President himself,
had he been present, would have
received some new light on some
of the aspects of the iconoclastic
designs of his evolutionary pro-
posal.
Certainly he would not have been
complimented by the almost unani-
nous conclusion that he was using
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-04-23
Editor:

I am grateful to the st. Paul
Recorder and the Minneapolis
Spokesman for their continuous
fight along the economic line by
fighting on and on and not becom-
ing discouraged. It seems that
there is victory ahead. There are
fresh troops being sent to the front
to reinforce your army. The first to
march forward was Father Gill
gan. The Minister'S Alliance and
then on April 18th the special re-
serve went into action. The first
big gun was fired. Mr.. Wendell
Jones Schuck of the Twin Cities,
and the Rev. C. F. Stewart flew
over and dropped a bomb on the
White House and then on down
and dropped another on Duck Hill,
Miss.
I only hope the President of the
U. S. was listening in and every
other citizen and heard those two
men talk. Mr.. Jones only had
about three or five minutes to talk
which is about ten cents worth of
time on a telephone but he said
about ten millions worth. Every
word was pure and simple gospel,
real Christian teaching and I am
sure the words of Rev. Stewards
text went across the plains through
the valleys and over the noun
tains. Every living human if he
stopped to think could see through
the eye of faith Jesus standing
with out-stretched hands using the
same text, ri have come that We
might have life" And the direc-
tor and her singers of the Phyllis
Wheatly House are very worthy of
praise for those folk songs have
frightened a many dark hour. May
God bless them all.
More especially Rev. Stewart
as young man in the Ministry
that he may continue to give God
the glory. Speaking of Glory I am
reminded of the condemnation by
Rev. Warrington according to your
paper recently. The Rev. fiayed
the paper in recent sermon as a
ittle-old-four-page newspaper. The
cause of those red hot remarks
was the Reverend came from Can
ada to Minneapolis. The paper
didn't glorify him as he thought,
so for this reason the Reverend be-
came very much displeased. I am
sure the Reverend was not think
ing at the time for there is no
glory due him. All the glory is to
God. am sure the greatest send
off the Reverend will ever get in
this world is to stop seeking glory
and preach the unadulterated Cos
pei of Jesus Christ and then he will
be clarifying God and God will
pour out great showers of bless
ings upon him.

W Negro Council
Answers HarpOle
Editorial Rap
To the Mail Bag:


''No Prejudice in Athletics at the
University of Minnesota" screams
a banner head in the April 10 edi-
ton of the Twin City Herald. Edi-
tor Harpole based his front page
editorial on certain misstatements
concerning the Council of Negro
Students &C. N. S. at the Univer-
sity, a statement that should be
corrected and withdrawn. Quoting
Editor Harpole; "Every so often
various groups for lack of definite
program-take it upon themselves
to engage in certain useless and
ill-advised Investigations. One of
the examples of this procedure is
the late investigation of the Negro
Student Council of the University
into policies and practices of the
Athletic Department at the Uni
versity."
We regret that the above is your
erroneous impression of the C. N. S.
after attending only one meeting,
Mr.. Harpole. Perhaps by attend
ing more meetings you will learn
more about the organization and
it's program. With such knowl-
edge, your editorials will serve to
build-rather than condemn on
false assumptions. For your in
formation, the group which inves-
tigated the policies and practices
of the Athletic department" was
the American Students Union
(A.S.U.) of the University, and
not the Council of Negro Students.
The GINS. has Minority Discrim-
ination Committee which by invita-
ton has been meeting with the
Discrimination Committee of the
A.S.U. and at one of these meet
ings, with three of our group pres
ent, the completed report of this
survey was read. I quote from the
committees report to the GINS.
at which you were present.
"a report was given by
Gordon Brooks (A.S.U. member)
as to the replies of the Athletic di-
rector. He (McCormick) stated
that there was no discrimination in
swimming, wrestling, and basket
ball, but that Negroes themselves
did not choose to enter these
sports"
Obviously the committee had full
filled its existence by this investi-
cation.
The Council of Negro Students
does not exist, Editor Harpole,
solely for the purpose of making
Certain useless and ill-advised in
vestigations." We are organized
to promote better race relations on
the Campus, and so raise the gen.
eral level of scholarship within our
own group. Our committee and
Public Relations Department Coun-
Gil with other groups, on and off
the Campus, are seeking to expand
our scope and to open new oppor-
tunities not only for US at the Uni
versity but for all Negroes in the
Twin Cities. In this we solicit
your cooperation.
Even though you may have felt
an overwhelming impulse to write
as you did in your zest for reform,
Editor Harpole, we feel that in
fairness to the ems, both you
and the public should become bet
ter acquainted with the actual
facts. In view of your false as
sumption resulting in misrepre-
sensations of our intentions, we
ask that you recant through the
press.

Radio Users
Show Bad
Manners
Remember You Are
Not the Only One
Who Has Ears!
BY ANGELO PATRI.

LIVERY new invention brings It's
- social responsibilities. That means
it demands a code of manners along
with other adjustments. The radio
is loud expression of this fact. More
bad manners are expressed In the use
OF the radio than in any other form
Of service used in our day.
One radio I suffered from was
turned on at its loudest at o'clock
in the morning, and it was not turned
off again, was not lowered for an in
slant, until after 10 O'Clock that night.
This is in the middle of crowded
block Of apartment houses. Why?
When the police asked that question
two young people Of college age said,
"Oh, we just turned it on when
we got up and didn't think it mat
tered. We let it run along and we
listened when We got to it."
Then there is the enthusiast who
wants to get foreign stations and
turns ON his radio about 2 in the
morning That wakens everybody on
the block. The babies cry and the
fathers swear. How can I get my
stations then? That is the only time
they are on" Why not close the
window and lower the tone4 "It is
too hot. 1 have to have fresh air"
On a warm Sunday morning, with
the windows wide open, all the radios
60 on. The din is something fright
full. One louder than the other. The
only thing one can do is flee the city.
Suppose one can't? Shutting the
windows helps some, but the roar
and the shrieks come through. Why
place the radio by the open window?
Suppose you do want to sit by the
window. couldn't you hear a low
toned radio from another room?
The family fights that arise out
of the use of the radio are another
source of pain. One member wants
his favorite singer. another wants
to hear the foot ball or the base ball
game. One wants to hear the concert
and another wants to listen to the
children's hour. Some families solve
this by having radio for every men,
Der of the family. That scarcely
solves the problem. Often it COM
plicates 1t.
The radio Is one of the greatest
forces for entertainment and education
that the world has ever seen. It's
magic brings light to the blind, COM
panions to the isolated, comfort to
the sick and the bedridden informa-
ton and education and entertainment
for all of us. The radio must have a
place in every household, but the
household must learn how to use it.
A little cooperation, little thought
fulness on all sides, will not hurt
any Of us, but help all Of us.
Don't turn on a radio full power.
Keep its voice inside the room.
Don't turn on radio when people
are asleep. Consider those who are
Ill, or who need rest.
Don't place your radio by the open
window. Keep it in an inner room
where it can disturb nobody.
Don't try to monopoliSe the family
radio. Take your turn. Give ot1er
folk theirs.
Don't keep twisting the dials. Find
your station and let 1t alone.
Remember that you are not the
only one who has ears, or . radio.
Consider the rest of the world.
