Radio Team
In New Series

"Lum and Abner," those famous
Pine Ridge, Arkansas, storekeep-
ers and rural comedians, will make
their bow over the nationwide Col
umbia network Monday, February
%, from S:15 to $50 p. M, psf,
in a new thrice-weekly series to
be heard every Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday at this same time.
Originating in Hollywood, the
new "Lum and Abner" stories will
be sponsored by the General Foods
Corporation in the interests of Po-
STUN. All available CHS station
outlets are to be used in a national
network to be announced shortly
so that the popular Pine Ridge
storekeepers may be brought to
thousands of radio listeners who
have never been able to hear them
in the past. Boake Carriers init
ial program for the same sponsor
is to be broadcast Immediately be-
fore their CHS premiere.
Chester Lauck and Norris Goff,
who play the roles of "Lum and
Abner" and other characters heard
on their programs, first entered
radio early in 1881. Their success
was immediate. They had been in
vited to play a black-face spot ov-
er Station KTHS in Hot Springs,
Arkansas. Discovering that two
similar acts also had been sched-
uled they hurriedly prepared an
Ozark storekeeper dialogue. Nine
days after their initial broadcast,
they received a contract for a net
work series.
The boys, born within a few
miles of each other in Arkansas,
grew up together in Mena, Ark.
They attended the state university
and were members of the same fra
ternity. Lauck entered business
in Texas but later returned to Me-
ma and rejoined Golf to inaugurate
their radio venture. Mena, i'm
pressed by their success, officially
changed the name of the town to
Pine Ridge -

Lincoln-DougIas Celebration Is
Success; Memorial Affair Held

On Sunday last, Grace Presby-
terrain Church sponsored a Lincoln
Douglas celebration. Reverend Fred
A. Hughes, who, incidentally was
named for the great Douglas, Rev.
erend Brewing c. Allen of Ia
coma, and Mr. VIM. j. Hyatt, foun-
der of the Community Scholarship
Fund, were the principle speakers.
Miss Mimi Deering, University of
Washington student, and the pos
SCISSOR of a marvellous voice thrilled
the large audience that attended
this memorial affair.
Reverend Hughes in his char
acteristic manner, was inspiring,
and reached the emotional, when
he pleaded for the present gener-
oIAOiA " IchC IilS lllllldIlI llle VI
friedrich Douglas, as an example,
and force on.
Mr.. Hyatt gave a most interest
ing and informative address on ac-
complishments of Negroes of to-
day, and as usual his talk was to
the point and filled with correct
statistical information. The audi
ence showed their appreciation by
their response.
Reverend Browning c. Allen of
Tacoma, proved to be a most en-
pertaining speaker, and demon
strated delightful personal &C.
complishment in the manner in
which he put over his points, which
were timely, and well taken. He
is the kind of speaker that people
are sorry when he is finished. He
has a story to illustrate every por-
ton of his address.
Reverend John r. Harris, was
the perfect host, and non-compar-
able master of ceremonies. He has
the ability to make everyone feel
right at home, and take an active
part in his program, regardless of
denominations.
A goal of $500 is the objective of
the Church to make necessary i'm
provements, much of this fund is
yet to be raised. However, the
community is expected to rally to
the support of Grace church, and
they will be able to meet their
obligations.

Bishops Disagree

JACKSON, Tenn. (C)-Bishop
c. H. Phillips, senior bishop of the
c. M. E. church, gave a singing
reply to Bishop r. A. Carter in
the Christian Index last week, be-
ing a rebuttal to Bishop Carriers
article in the church organ on
January 20. Bishop Carriers arti-
Gle was written in reply to Bishop
Phillips original article in the
Index of January 13.
my colleague is so rough, so un-
ethical, so slanderous in his style,
and SO reckless in statement that
I decided a few years ago never
again if 1 could prevent it to al
low myself to mix up with him in
the columns of our Church papers.
But his article was so personal
and vicious, his attack so indecent
and illogical in his effort to refute
or nullify what 1 had enunciated
in my article entitled Where Are
We Now" that I am compelled to
make reply. The controversy is
about administrative affairs of the
bishops.
At one point Bishop Phillips de-
clares; "Only a Bishop who hates
another Bishop could write in that
manner about him." and again:
Whenever I write an article just
like the one written by Bishop
Carter and which appeared in the
Index of January 10th then the
Church will know that my brain
is not working and that the time
for my retirement is at hand"

NAACP Carries
Case to US Court

NEW YORK, February IL. -
The case of Joe Hale, who was
convicted of murder in the first
degree in Paducah, KY, October
10, 1886, will be argued before
the United States supreme court
February % by attorneys of the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People and
the state of Kentucky. Hale is
supposed to have. killed a white
man. At his first trial his lawyers,
Copeland and Copeland, filed a
motion to quash the indictment on
the ground that all qualified Ne
gro citizens of the country had
been excluded from the grand jury
of the county for more than fifty
years.
The motion was overruled. After
Hale's conviction, counsel filed an
appeal in the Court of Appeals
of Kentucky where the sentence
of the lower court was affirmed
because the original motion was
omitted from the record through
error.
1t was at this point that the
Paducah Colored Civic League ap-
pealed to the N.A.A.C.P. and the
association secured permission to
file petition for certiorari and
filed it January Z with Charles
H. Houston and Leon A. Ransom
as attorneys and Thurgood Mar
shall and Edward P. Lovett as
counsel. The court granted the
writ on January 81 and also per-
mitted Hale to proceed as a pau
per which means that he will not
have to have a printed brief. The
court set February % as the date
for the argument.

Famous Ubangi Club To Close!
Sunday Will Be Last Night

Sunday, February 9th, marks
the closing of the Ubangi Club,
which has been the center of Ne
gro entertainment for the past
two years.
Les Hite and his Cotton Club
orchestra opened the club, togeth-
er with a fine floor show that
came direct from Sebastiens in Los
Angeles. Mr.. Russell Smith the
proprietor maintained this same
type of high class entertainment
throughout the entire period of the
clubs operation.
1t is regretted by the race at
large that the Ubangi was forced
to close. 1t has been said that the
purchase of the hotel building
where the club was located, by out
side interests forced the closing.

ment for young and old, also it
was the largest race owned enter

Rep. Senators
Show COlOrs

One of the angles to the whole
anti-lynching debate which has
aroused wide comment is the at
titude which was taken by the
Republican senators under the
leadership of Minority Leader
Charles L. McNary. The Republi-
cans, from their party platforms
of many years standing, were
committed to an anti-lynching bill
and pledged to its enactment when
ever possible. The Republican bloc
announced that it was in favor OF
the Wagner-Van Mugs measure
and would vote for it when II
came to the floor-with the ex-
ception of Senator William E. b.
rah of Idaho.
Yet when the first vote for clo-
ture was taken on January 81, af-
ter it had become plain from
three weeks of filibustering that
the cloture was the only means
of bringing the bill to a vote, the
Republicans refused to vote for
the cloture. In explaining this ac-
ton, Senator McNary stated that
his group was unwilling to vote for
limitation of debate. He mentioned
that the Senate was the last CT
tadel of untrammelled discussion
After approximately three addi-
tional weeks of debate and the
second vote for cloture came up
February 16, Senator McNary con-
tinued his opposition to cloture
with the result that all except
three Republicans-Davis of Penn
sylvania, Townsend of Delaware
and Capper of Kansas voted
against cloture.

Race Shows
POlical Power

One thing that the filibuster has
shown clearly is that the Negro
holds great political power in GER
tain key states in the North and
Middle West. If he did not the bill
would not have remained on the
Senate floor steadily for six weeks.
Only an important bloc of voters
back home could have tied up the
Senate business this long.
Another item of Importance and
value is the fact that at least
five lynchings Cone involving a
white MANI were prevented direct
ly because of the presence of this
bill on tn floor. This circumstance
supports the argument of the pro-
ponents that anti-lynching legisla-
ton will be a deterrent to mob
violence.
The filibuster also has been val
liable in that it has brought to the
fore the question of disfranchise-
ment of the Negro in certain south
ern states. 1t also has brought up
a discussion of other civil liberties
which are denied Negroes. Indeed,
the whole question of liberalism
versus the reactionaries and the
place of the Negro in a revised
and progressive scheme of govern
ment has intruded itself into the
debate time and time again.
One of the most notable aspects
of the whole filibuster both to
those who have read the Congress
sional Record and those who have
sat in the gallery listening to the
speeches has been the vulgarity,
the obsession with sex, and the in
lection of mean, petty race hatred
into the so-called arguments of
many of the southern senators.
Senator Bilbo of Mississippi and
Ellender of Louisiana particularly
have been criticised by the press
of the country, from the North and
the South, for their diatribes
against the Negro and their dis
cussion of sex.

N Baptist Church
COmmends and Felicitates Pastor

Rounding out six years of SER
vice as pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist
Church, Reverend T. M. DAVIS, pa
stor, will be honored next Friday
evening, March 4, with a banquet
at the Church.
Reverend Davis has contributed
much to the community since his
arrival in the Northwest. He found
the church in debt, and in need of
inspirational leadership. He af-
forded the latter, and today the
Church is free of debt, and the en-
tire fund necessary to pay off the
indebtness was raised among the
membership. This in itself is con-
sidered marvellous feat. Rever-
end Davis is now planning to re-
decorate the interior of Mt. Zion,
as well as make other necessary
improvements.
Before coming to Seattle, Rev
erend Davis spent many years in
the State of California, where he
raised very talented family. His
son, Taylor, is here with him at
present, and is noted for his abil-
ity to play as well as sing. 1t has
been rumored that the young man
will shortly go east where musical
opportunity awaits him.
Mrs. Belle Henry is in charge of
arrangements for the banquet, the
public is invited and tickets are
seventy-five cents.

College President
Author OF Hymn

When you say the familiar
goodbye" do you realize you
are using a shortened form of
the phrase, God Be With You" =?
It was the beautiful meaning of
this phrase that led to the writing
of a hymn that is universally loved,
God Be With You Till We Meet
Again"
DIR. ]. E. Rankin, who was a
pastor in Washington, D. c., at
the time he wrote this song,
thought it too bad that we should
lose the really beautiful meaning
underlying the simple words, and
wrote his melodious song to form
a Christian benediction hymn.
The hymn was first sung in DR..
Rankins own church, the First
Congregational Church of Wash
ington, D. c., and soon became the
favorite closing hymn of young
people in the Christian Endeavor
Society. 1t has been translated into
many other languages and sung
by Christian Endeavor Societies
all over the world.
DR.. Rankin, after serving as
pastor for many years, became
president of Howard University in
Washington. Not many of our
hymns have been written by col
lege presidents!
