Senate Asked
To Include Negro

NEW YORK-A request that if
a comprehensive investigation of
the Tennessee Valley Authority is
made, it include discrimination
against Negro citizens, was sent
to Senator H. Styles Bridges of
New Hampshire, by the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People. Senator
Bridges has announced that he will
ask for a fund of $4,000 for a
probe on "all phases" of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority.
The N.A.A.C.P. has wired Sem
ator Bridges that discrimination
against Negroes is a policy of the
IVA, especially with respect to
employment, housing, and recrea-
ton. Word has been sent also to
Rep. Maury Maverick of Texas
and Rep. Bertrand H. Smell of
New York, who are backing the
investigation.
1t is a well known fact that
no Negroes are permitted to re-
side in the government town
erected at Norris Dam.

Lawn and Garden
Contest May 22-29

AS part of Negro Health Week
observance, a city-wide Lawn and
Garden contest is announced by
the Seattle Urban League for May
1929. These dates were suggested
for the inspection by Cecil Solly,
famous garden expert, who stated
that Spring this year is two weeks
early, and lawns should be at their
best about this time.
An outstanding feature of the
contest this year will be a better
classification of lawns with prizes
for winning lawns in each class.
Several prizes of tools, top grade
lawn fertilizer and other useful
articles will go to residents whose
lawns are characterized by ar
rangement and plan, suitable ma
terials, and condition and care.
The picture of the prize-winning
lawn will appear in the Northwest
Gardener and details of the con-
test will be announced through the
columns of this paper, and the
broadcast of Mr. Cecil Solly. For
further information call the Ur-
ban League, Main 1920.

OLYMPIA, March 8.-Joe Ran
dali, Negro of Longview, won his
$500 damage suit in supreme court
today against the Cowlitz Amuse-
ments, Inc, for eviction from a
Kelso theatre.
The law in this state is 'well
settled that person may recover
damages, if denied full privileges
of any public place of amusement
by reason of color" the five-judge
decision said.
The high court affirmed a lower
court judgment awarding Randall
$500 damages.
Randall said he was sold tick

Champ Balks
At Segregation

CHICAGO, March 9-(CNA)-
An investigation of the Jim-crow
seating arrangements at the Arm
strong Rightmire battle here loom
ed this week following publication
of a story in The Midwest Daily
Record of this city revealing that
Henry Armstrong, featherweight
champion, had recided never again
to fight in any show promoted by
Mique Malloy, white Chicago fight
promoter, because of discrimina-
ton against Negro fight fans.
Investigation of Malloy's segre-
cation of Negroes at the Interna-
tional Amphitheatre will be de-
manded at the next meeting of the
Illinois Boxing Commission, John
w. Monk Harris, deputy boxing
commissioner, said this week.
Commenting on the Records story,
Harris said:
Pm glad to see Chicago paper
stand up and fight this situation.
Armstrong clearly recognized
that the promoters regarded him
primarily as a shekel-producing
machine, and as such treated him
with great deal of respect.
But when promoter tried to
introduce a Jim-Crow practice in
an arena, where thousands of his
race came to see him do his stuff,
Henry baked.
