FAMOUS WOMAN COLUMNIST
REBUKES SENATOR GRAVES

NEW YORK---Tn an open letter
to Senator Dixie Graves Of Alabama,
Dorothy Dunbar Bromley, famous
American columnist and novelist
whose articles are featured daily in
the Scripps-Howard and other news
papers. sharply rebuked the Alabama
senator for her participation in the
filibuster against the Wagner-Van
Nuys-Gavagan anti-lynching bill.
Mrs. Bromley advises Senator Graves
30 follow her own advice to the
Senate to 'sseek the truth, know the
truth, and the truth will make you
free" Mrs. Bromley challenges
Senator Graves statement that
lynching has declined to the extent
alleged by the successor in the Sen
ate Of Hugo l.. Black, and sharply
differs with the assertion that given
ave more years, the south of Its own
volition will wipe out all lynchings.
Mrs. Bromley grants that there y
growing sentiment In the south
against lynching ''but il does not
prove, unhappily, that effective law
enforcement has stopped any lynch
convictions of the individuals re-
sponsible for the lynchings-that has
been the upshot of each Of these
Instances of mob murder. I
In confirmation Of her assertion,
Mrs. Bromley cites the lynching Of
Wesley johnson on February 2,
1887 in Alabama. She writes:

FOUGHT FASCIST IN SPAIN TO AID
HIS PEOPLE LIEUT.. GARLAND SAYS

NEW YORK (CNA) 1T felt that
whatever I could do to help halt
Fascisrn i'm Spain would in great
measure help my folk at home. Me-
groes are the first to feel the brunt
OF reaction. We would be the first
sufferers under Fascism. It's up 20
us to help crush world fascism before
IL gets D foothold in this country"
Thus declared Walter Garland,
Brooklyn musician and one Of the
outstanding heroes of the Spanish
Loyalist Army, on his return to this
country this week. Garland joined
the Spanish Government forces one
year ago as a private. This week he
returned TO his native country with
the rank Of lieutenant, hero's rec
ord, deep affection for the Spanish
people and buning hatred Of Fas-
cisrn and it's deeds.
Garland said that more than 100
American and West Indian Negroes
are now in the Spanish Loyalist
Array. Many have received promo
tions. Answering our questions IN
short, staccato sentences, the six
foot 200 pound musician said that
there was complete lack Of dis
elimination in Spain. Negroes are
permitted to grow according to their
abilities. Al good many of us nave
haen able to put our abilities to use.
For instance, young Negro from
Brooklyn. Burt Jackson, was pronlot--
ed to b lieutenancy and is now n
charge of the Loyalist Topography
School. He was formerly in the
u. S. Army.
Commanding Training Bass
Garland modestly explained, when
pushed for information about him
self, that he had been promoted to
command of the American training
base hi which there was 1000 men.

The source of all the difficulty,
apparently, was the football field, on

The removal of the Rev. Ernest
e. Estell from the religious and civic
activities Of Dayton has cast i
gloom over the entire city. He
breaches his farewell sermon at Tab
ernacle Baptist Church Sunday
morning, having resigned several
weeks ago to become pastor of the
great st. John Institutional Baptist
Church at Dallas, Texas.
While his friends are happy over
his good fortune in becoming pastor
of one Of the largest churches in the
country, yet they feel keenly the
loss Dayton will sustain in his de :
parture. From the very first year
of his pastorage at Tabernacle the
congregation has won each succeed
ing year the distinction of doing the
most meritorious work of any church
in the city regardless Of race.

the picture seems to be competition
In virtue between the President and
Congress; that Is, competition in
reduction Of spending. The President
sends to Congress a budget OF pro-
posed expenditures and says to Con-
gress In effect: Il hope you won't add
anything to IT. And Congress re-
plies In effect: "All right, If that's the
way you feel, we'll go even farther;
We'll take out some Of the expendi-
lures you put In yourself"
Such competition in economy is
most unusual. As respects Congress.
1t could readily turn into q compete
ton In the other direction. in spend
Ing. II Congress felt the President
would put personal drive behind his
recommendation. then Congress would
reduce. Congress in that case would
have the President as an alibi. In
dividual members Of Congress would
be able to say, to the constituencies
that ask for relief money and other
appropriations, I'D like to, but the
President is determined to reduce, and
I won't stand in the way"
Relief Key to Economy.
As between Congress and the Presi-
dent, the key to the situation is re-
lief expenditures. The President says
he wants billion and a half. Con-
gressional leaders who met with him
In conference preceding his budget
message told him-so gossip says
that they thought much less would do.
Gossip says that all the leaders told
him 81 900 100000 would be enough,
except one who said s1,200000,0
Nevertheless Mr.. Roosevelt. in his
budget message. kept his figure at
81 500 ,0O0 900.
To this, the reaction Of the congress
sional leaders could take one of two
directions. They could say, every
well, II he holds to his $500 900 900
for relief. there is no reason we should
say no to the constituencies that
demand appropriations from us" That
would be a competition in spending.
Or Congress could say, IF We must
say no to our constituencies, then
we'll reduce the Presidents $780,
100000 to what we think is enough. !"
The latter seems to be the direction the
congressional leaders are taking. I'M
portant ones among them say they
will move to reduce the $500, 900, 900
to $1,000 100000. Thus Congress Is
asking for what Senator Arthur VAN
denberg Of Michigan calls reciprocal
self-denial." II that mood in Congress
lasts, then the whole trend will be
toward reduction Of some expenditures
and restraint of new ones.
The question comes down to the
degree of the Presidents earnestness.
Is reduction must" matter? Is
the President as much in earnest about
restraining expenditures as he is, for
example, about getting his change in
the Supreme Court? To push his
court proposal, he sent Democratic
National Chairman Farley into North
