DANVILLE GIRL GETS
ORATORICAL PR IL E

Richmond, Apl. 8-Miss Edith
Whiteman, representing Langs-
ton hig h school, in Danville,
captured the first prize in the
fifteenth annual oratorical con-
test held at Virginia Union u,
Friday night. MissWhiteman,
who spoke on the subject:
why Negroes Should Vote, !"
competed with IL high school
orators for the coveted trophy.
The winner was the unanimous
choice of the three judges, re
receiving a perfect low score OF
three.
Using as theme the biblical
quototion: Thou shalt smite
the rock with the rod that you
hold in your hands, and water
shall flow that my people might
drink and live" Miss Whiteman
urged that Negroes make use of
the ballot. There are some
groups of oppressed people, she
said, who feel that they can OBJ
tain freedom by revolution and
uprisings, but Negroes have in
their hands the power to vote,
which power they should use.
Three speakers tied for the
second place. Prizes were
awarded to Mr.. Russell Jones,
of Saint Paul Normal and In
ldustrial School, Lawrenceville,
who spoke on the subject: "War,
the Relentless Scourge Of HUI

democratic congress. the prevail
ing opinion is now current that
the intellectual leadership of
t h e president in congress has
not only been dimmed but may
be lost. And that this signal
defeat may be ascribed to pres
sure politics.
While tn e persent defeat in
congress by pressure politics is
victory for confused thinking
and deliberate misrepresentation
it nevertheless, raises the gener
al inquiry of whether the techni-
que has been established for the
paralysis Of representative govrn
mnt. And in the latter case it
is the people who stand to lose
and no those who who for long
have been blaming the admins
tration for our surrent business
recession; and who as a matter
of fact, resort to the need or in
Vestment as a trading point for
concession Of business in the con
fident hope Of greatly undolng a
major portion of the New Deal
and the New Deal policies.

pioning his New Deal detectives

An Undeclared War on Capitol
Hill in Washington
By the combined result of a
great popular reaction and an
undeclared war against the New
Deal policies of the present ad-
ministrative National govern
ment, president Roosevelt has
lost control of congress; and is
therefore, rendered impotent to
put through the legislation of
his program as he succeeded in
the last 2 congresses, BY virtue
of the split entity symbolized
in congress- by its defeat of the
reorganization bill, the Democrat
ic leaders. in official control of
the government, haze abandoned
the Roosevelt program Of social
ad economic legislation.
Pressure Politics
when the president was in
formed of the resultant outcome
of the vote on the reorganization
bill, indicating the administra-
tons DISASTROUS defeat in the mat
ter, after remaining silent dur
ing the major portion of day,
he issued the statement, promis-
ing not to seek revenge. T h e
House majority leader, Samuel
Rayburn, was thanked or the
fine fight he made in effort
to put the bill over. And thanks
to others who had stood by the
administration. The question
presented was one solely of
policy says the president. So
the Legislative developments
offer no occasion or personal re
elimination and there should be
none.
The opposition foes of the adj
Illustration on the reorganiza-
ton bill, were taken by surprise
on learning the attitude of the
president regarding his defeat,
especially, as the blow was felt
more deeply, than even the de
feat of the court packing plan.
The House majority leader, Sam
Rayburn, was informed to have
the congress check up and when
they had made an end have them
90 home and wait the reaction
1t is now generally understood
that congress is not so anxious
to check up and go home, as il
has done nothing worthy Of the
public praise. Now that the

Means of Financing Expenditure

President Roosevelt told con
gress, in effect, today to figure
out for itself how to cure the ills
of the nations 21,OOO,OOO,OOO
railroad net work.
Pointedly, he refrained from
sending any recommendations of
his own to capitol hill, where his
reorganization bill was defeated
and where he received other
blows.
He did transmit a mass of re-
concentrations from his ad-
visers, including proposals for
lending $3OO,OOO,OOO for the
purchase of railroad equipment
and other millions to rescue the
carriers from their plight.
Displaying perhaps a trace Of
Impotence over the recent house
vote on government reorganiza-
ton, he suggested it would be
but the part of common sense"
to consolidate the seven federal
agencies dealing with transport
alton into two, one handling
executive functions and t h e
other all activities of a judicial
or Legislative character.
He also chided past congresses
for clothing the interstate COM
merce commission with purely
executive functions,'' declaring
that this was lin all probability
unconstitutional. I
However he did not press the
point, declaring it was more
important for all of us to CO.
operate in preventing serious
bankruptcies among the rail
road companies, great and
small. =" He said immediate
Legislation was necessary pend
ing formulation of a permanent
