Many fine fielding plays were
executed and Dave Williams pitch

polls? Why has not the gentleman
obtained passage of his bill dur
ing his many years of service un-
der the administration of his own
Republican Party?
MR.. FISH: 1t so happens that I
have very few Negroes in my dis
trict, but I held civil service ex-
aminations to fill my appointments
so both academies regardless of
race, color or creed, and the high
est to qualify gets the appoint
ment.
am only trying to point out an
injustice done to some 100000
Americans.
MIR. DINGELL: / intend to ap-
point Negro at an early date. I
have tried to recognize the various
elements in my district, and will
do so without hiding behind a civil
service examination.
MIR. FISH: 1t is about time the
gentleman did, for he has a great
many Negroes in his district. !
have been in the gentleman's dis
trict, and all I am interested in is
in securing fair representation for
very large and loyal element of
our population.
The enactment of my bill, H.R
10165, providing for the appoint
ment of two 4,egro cadets to West
Point in each year by the Presi-
dent, making a total of eight when
the full quota was attained, would
have the effect of giving popular
recognition to one-tenth of our po-
pulation who are now ignored in
such appointments.
intend to reintroduce the bill
when Congress reconvenes next
year, if reelected, and to renew my
request for a full and complete
hearing before the Committee on
Military Affairs.

Scholarship Dance
Is Another Success

The fourth annual Scholarship
Dance at Faurot's hall last Mon
day evening was an outstanding
success. The Scholarship Commit
tee is raising funds to provide uni
versity scholarships for deserving
students. They appreciate the
compliment paid them by many
parents who use this entertain
ment each year as the first dance
for their young sons and daugh-
tiers, for the best of Seattle society
attends, and the dance is conduct
ed in high class order.
Monday night the thirty-six high
school and university graduates
who attended as honor guests, pre-
sented the highlight of the even
ing when they assembled before
the stage to be introduced and to
receive the congratulations from
the vast. audience. Miss Lois
Hughes and Miss Juanita Alexan-
der heading the reception commit
tee, presented each graduate with
a favor in colors representing their
respective schools. Visitors from
Tacoma and other nearby towns
attended in large numbers. The
Scholarship Committee thanks all
the friends who attended, and
those who have contributed in 9TH
er way to make it possible to car
ry on this vital community service.
From now until the middle of
July, the Membership Committee
will confine it's efforts to securing
new memberships. These member
ships may be had for as little as
one dollar per year, and the COM
mittee expects to show excellent
results before the drive closes.
Contributors who are kind enough
to call Main 929O, will have a re-
preventative call for their member
ship. All moneys collected will be
used by the Fund to grant schol-
arships, student loans, and for stu
dent activity purposes of an edu-
cational nature.
This week the Scholarship Fund
has received a $500 membership
from Queen of Sheba Chapter, O..
E.S., and $3.50 on a $500 member
ship from the S. D. Workers, for
which they are very grateful.

Landlord Loses Suit
To Sharecropper

JACKSON, MISS (CNA) = Fol
the first time since Reconstruc-
ton days, the State Supreme
Court this week gave a judgment
in favor of a Negro tenant farmer
in suit involving his landlord and
the traditional usurious rates used
by Southern landlords to keep ten
ant farmers eternally in debt
The judgment was for $2,279.91
based on the findings of the court
that the landlord charged usurious
interest on a cotton crop loan.
The decision stirred great inter-
est in this predominantly agricul-
tural State, particularly in the
Mississippi delta, one of the rich
est cotton area of the South where
the bulk of the land is worked by
tenants who are regularly plumb
cred by the dishonest bookkeeping
and outrageous interest charges of
the landlords.
The court ruled that j. w. Cope.
land, the white landlord, had for
feited both interest and principa,
to Less Taylor because he charg.
ed and collected more than 20 pei
cent per annum on note

Rep. Fish of New York in Sharp
Exchanges as Congress Nears Close

Representative Fish, New York,
introduced a bill in the lower
house that will authorize the pre-
sident of the United States to an
nually appoint two Negroes to
West Point. Several sharp TRADES
were exchanged during the speech
of Representative Fish. Follow
ing are few:
MR.. FISH: Is not this part of
our good-neighbor policy? Is not
the idea behind this bill the very
worthy one of promoting friendly
relations by inviting Latin Ameri-
can countries to send some of their
youth to enter Annapolis and West
Point at our expense in order that
they may become imbued with our
American principles of government
and thereby combat fascism, naz-
ism and communism?
MIR. STANLEY: I think the
gentleman with his usual felicity
of expression has said it better
than I did.
MR.. FISH: do not admit that,
but I want to go little further
and say to the gentleman that I
do not propose to oppose this mea-
sure. 1 think in due course they
will probably reciprocate and ask
us to send representatives to their
countries to be educated in their
military and naval institutions.
I would like, however, to take
this opportunity to make certain
comments. have pending bill
authorizing the President of the
United States to appoint two Ne
groes to West Point each year.
MIR. DINGELL: Mr.. Speaker,
reserving the right to object, since
the gentleman champions the
cause of the Negro, I would like
to ask the gentleman direct que
stion: How many Negroes has he
appointed to West Point or Anna

NEWARK, N ]. (C) Specu-
lat.on on the fate of the Newark
Herald, suspended in April after
ten years of publication, ended last
week as the paper reappeared un-
der new ownership, that of Miss
Dorothy Saunders, manager of the
Community Personal Finance cor
poration, 1868 Seventh Ave-, New
York, and William Merrill, clealS
of the same concern. The fact that
Miss Saunders and Merrill are en-
ployes of a Harlem concern owned
by DR.. c. B. Powell and DR.. p. M.
H. Savory publishers of the Am
sterdam News, further strengthen
ed the belief that the Herald is
operated by them, although DR..
Powell is said to have denied to
Melvin Johnson, former editor of
the Herald that his interests had
purchased the paper.

couple have lived the history of

and so on. Do not forget the late
Lieut.. James Roston who paved
the way for the employment of
Negroes on the steamship lines
leaving Seattle ports; S. H. Stone,
now retired, who owned and oper-
ated a large catering business, and
so on. Did you know that George

Tessie Miller, teacher at Talledega;
Homer Harris, graduated this year

On Wednesday evening at the Yankee Stadium in New

disputed champion Also proved that Joe said you
could throw out the fight of two years ago.
No tiger IN the jungles struck with swift
and vicious attack than Joe did when he rushed the bewd
cred Schmeng off his feet with twohanded barrage of
leather the like witnessed in heavyweight champion
ship fight Even Joes most critics must admit
he truly great not the greatest of the great fighters
The question has been asked to what kind of re-
cepon Max Schmeng will receive from Hitler when he
turns home where he looked upon being the worlds
champion Well in keeping with Germanys general program
OF finding for anything that does go just
right they probably will say that Jewish blood has
covered in his veins and that will supply the
sary to uphold Aryan superiority
