American Negro In South Africa
Now ana again something happens

opportunity to see IN perspective just
how he stands in the world scheme
Of color. The American Negro group
Is but "speck, hguratively speak

world group.

An Excellent Appointment

BY the appointment Of Bishop R.
G. Ransom Of the AME church to
membership of the state parole
board, Governor Davey makes grace
full recognition of the just claims Of
Negroes of Ohio for recognition Of
their race and Of special qualifiea
tions Of individuals Of the race.
Bishop Ransom, man of fine sch
elastic attainments, is president Of
the board of trustees of Wilberforce
university and Of its college Of the
ology. If his appointment is confirm
ed by the senate, as it should be, he
will be the first colored member Of
the state parole board, filling a po'
sition which becomes more RESPONSE
bic and difficult as crime increases
and state prisons become over
crowded.

Probable Cleavage in
New Deal Ranks

ASGW 0Sal NhHkS
Crediting Governor Davey with
sincerity of purpose in restoring
law and order in Ohio, in striking
contrast to executive example in the
states of Pennsylvania and Mich
igan, his courageous act is neverthe
less fraught with political signife
ance within the ranks of his own
party.
Davey charted a course in def
ance Of the established new deal
policy. He administered a severe and
merited rebnke to Madam Perkins
who was only an instrument in cary
ing out the terms of partnership
between the Roosevelt administra-
tion and the Lewis CIO forces
Davey is understood TO be a can,
didate to succeed himself next yeas.
Ills nomination would, now at least,
be accepted by the nation as an af
front to Roosevelt and disastrous to
New Deal policies.
1t is predicted that the Ohio situ
alton will receive the immediate con
| sideration Of the Roosevelt national
managers.

today as members Of the council
spent the second day Of their cur
rent visit seeing the sights Of
Washington and celebrating on
their legislative program.
Yesterday the council listened
to the House Civil Service Commit

extending the merit system to New

aminations, h caring President
Charles Stengle urge that charac-
ter Investigations be included with
all tests of emergency workers who
received their initial appointments

Formulate Plans
Following the hearings they held
their first executive session at the
Hamilton Hotel to formulate a pro-
gram to agree with the President S
plans for reorganizing the Govern
ment service, details of which were
to be announced today. In the
evening they attended the monthly
meeting of the A. F.. G. E. District
Of Columbia Department, as guests
of honor.
Today additional executive ses-
SionS were to be held, one Of the
prime points of discussion being
the plea for reinstatement pre-
Sented by the five lodges within the
District that were expelled during
the national convention last Sep
tember in Detroit for alleged radi.
cal leanings. All. of the lodges
have asked for another chance
within the fold.
The council members today were
also scheduled to inspect the crime
detection and other exhibits at the

having been especially invited by
Director j. Edgar Hoover, and this

BOND PROBLEM
TO COME UP
MONDAY

BETHESDA, Nd, Feb. 13.-Re-
scinding a resolution, passed by
the Montgomery County Civic
Federation several months ago, to
oppose the sale Of further county
bonds, except those for refunding
purposes, without first submitting
the proposal to a voters referen-
dunn, will be one of the first mat
ters to be taken up during q re.
ceSsed session of the Federation
here Monday night.
Although many Of the delegates
to this county representative body
still favor opposing further bond
issues they are in minority and
the stronger opposition during a
session last Monday night placed
the federation'S approval on a
school bond issue totaling $723, 900
to provide additional educational
facilities during the next two
years.
While Mondays meeting has
been primarily called to complete
the federation's legislative pro-
gram, to be placed before the
general assembly for conSidera.
ton, the bond issue approval last
week has placed the federation in
the position of overstepping a self
made boundary and so some in
the minority group feel that the
only proper course to tale Is to
reScind the earlier resolution.
A heated discussion is expected
to follow the resembling motion,
since many proponents Of the bond
issue contend that this would not
increase the bonded Indebtedness
of the county, since a stipulation
was made, when the federation ap-
proved the school proposal, that a
corresponding amount of outstand-
ing bonds must be retired If the
school bonds are sold.
In addition to this the delegates
will be asked to pass on several
recommendations of the special
legislative committee, headed by H.
S. Yohe, which if approved will be
added to the legislative program
compiled for presentation to the
legislature.
Proposals now ranking in i'm
portance with the legislative COM
mittee include opposition to any
liberalization Of the county liquor
laws; opposing any change in the
status of assessments for special
benefits; favoring establishment of
a merit system of appointments for
all county offices, and favoring es-
tabliShment Of an office of county
comptroller.

Stationed Here
Most of the council members are
naturally from the field, as the

Treasurer Cecil E. Custer, Secre-
tary Berniece B. Heffner and Vice
Presidents G.. Carroll Dimond, Ira

those stationed at Washington.
New York'S representative on

ton. When she isn't attending to
organization matters. Mrs. Olding
is an administrative officer in the
office of the Deputy Collector of
Internal Revenue at New York
city.
Mike Is Popular
One Of the most popular mem
bers of the group is Michael
Mike" Schaefer, an associate me-
chanical engineer with the Bureau
of Aeronautics in the Navy Depart
ment here in the District. Ever
full of fun, with a joke invariably
at the tip of his tongue, Schaefer
usually is found tWitting either
James B. Jimmy" Burns, chief
attorney with the Veterans Admin
iStration at San Francisco, or
James A. Campbell, likewise a Vet,
Grams Administration attorney at
Cincinnati, Ohio. Schaefer sees
Burns and Campbell about twice a
year, at conventions or meetings
like the current one, ard seldom
misses a chance ito ride 'em," as
he terms it.

member in Washington is we'll &C

merly was stationed with the Civil
Service Commission, is chiefly re-
sponSible for the 1,400 members
boasted by his Internal Revenue
Lodge, largest individual unit OF
the organization.

In the most vigorous attack the

singing phrases as he assailed the
"wiIful brutality" of religious per.

Speaking to his cardinals at a

"Germany'S persecution has
seldom been matched in history
for its power and gravity, its
wilful and violent brutality,
united with insidious falsehoods
and cheating denials."
After bestowing his blessing upon
the 30 congregated cardinals OF

clared:
eve would pronounce a word
Of fact, and a word Of principle.
