MARVA AND
HARLEM co
WILD OVER
LOUIS VICTORY

NEW YORK, June 28.- (ANP)
Marva Louis, lovely wife Of the
worlds greatest fighter, wasn't bit
nervous ait 10 o'clock Wednesday
night as she sat with friends in the
apartment OF Mrs. Mae Savage on
st. Nicholas avenue in Harlem
awaiting the bout between her hus-
band and Max Schmeling.
Marva even said she wasn't nerv--
Gus, and even at five minutes before
the broadcast started, she was COM
plimenting her hostess on one OF
those big, wide straw hats. At TO-,
she went over and sat by the radio,
playing with the dials to show she
was absolutely composed.
AS the announcer began, she
looked almost bored. Then when
Glenn Mccarthy descibed Joe's
blows to Makes face, she was the
personifcation Of calmness.
Then suddenly the announcer
shouted, Hes down! schmeling's
! DOWN.
With these words went Mafva
calm. She gave yell and squeal
that didn't let up until long after
the carnage had been stopped by q
merciful referee.
But Marva was not alone in her
Joy, for all Harlem went wild as Joe
atoned for his surprise defeat OF
1885. Over 1000 extra policemen,
200 detectives and the crews OF
three emergency trucks were on
hand to preserve order. Although
/ the crowd was enthusiastic an
demonstrated until daybreak, there
was no rioting nor were there ans
interracial clashes.

DAYTON College youths are
forever on the lookout for some
form of entertainment or excitement
during the summer months, for the
placid ties Of vacation are in de-
cided contrast to the nine lively
months of each school year. When
such potent energy Of college stu
dents is put to an Intelligent and ma
tional racial cause, as was done re-
Gently, then not only may the ones
directly concerned get what they
seek, but ultimately whole people
will benefit.
On last Sunday, June 26, Earl
Bright Hamper, sophomore at Will
berforce University. and Roderick w.
Pugh, junior at Fisk University,
decided that they would very much
like to see the star educational pic
ture of the season, sThe Birth of
Baby, which was showing at the
downtown Strand Theatre, Dayton,
Ohio. 1t is needless to relate here
the attitude of downtown theatre
managers toward Negro patrons, and
these two fellows were as aware Of
it as anybody. The following ex-
pected alibi greeted them from the
nervous, puzzled, and amused ticket
agent, we're very sorry, but the
house is full just now,' she said ;
there will be seats within an hour. !
She thought the fellows would leave
and probably never return, but she
was mistaken, sadly, the fellows de-
cided to wait the hour in the the
atre lobby.
BY this time about ten white pa
tons had approached the ticket of
flee, however because Of the pres
ence of the two Negro boys (alld
not wanting to prove herself a liarl
the ticket girl had to tell them the
same story she told the boys. But
as one might expect, the manager
had arrived by this time. He was ;
short, bay-Windowed, red-faced ma,
who appeared to be in q real dilemma
because some Of his important white
patrons began to tire of standing II
the lobby and were leaving. One 9.

basis Of such q false excuse. The
manager personally told the two coll
ored men that there would be seats
within an hour, for which informa-
ton he was thanked, and the boys
still waited.
During the elapse of fifteen min
utes seveal telephone calls were made
by the ticket agent, a young man
ran mysterious errand and returned
the manager nervously smoked ten
cigaretts, and a line of at least fifty
or more people, among them the two
persistent Negro youths, had assem-
bled in front of the theatre waiting
for admission.
After twenty minutes had passed
and the manager could stand the enl--
barrassment no longer, he ordered
the girl to start selling tickets. Our
two boys got in line, bought their
tickets, and went into the theatre.
AT least five--hundred people could
have been seated comfortably in the
two expansive balconies and main
floor when they entered.
The fellows recommend the pic
ture, 'sThe Birth Of q Baby because
it represents the modern and youth

highly educational, not at all vulgar
and was well worth the twenty min-
utes waiting they did to see it.

THIS AND THAT
~ CHARLES 3. rRIcEHsLL.

Had this poor hsh assumed the attack,
1t would have been on the chasing end,
not the chased.
Our belief is that birds operate on the
same plane. not 30 much out OF vim
dictiveness, as through mere chance.
One bird makes q pass" ct another
and finds that it works"
The attacked bird flies, the attacker
dies after 1t, and around and around
they 90.
Maybe all battle Is along the same
lines, only It is more dincult to see and
understand among men.
To take the offensive, Of course, was
an old plan with Napoleon, and for
centuries before him with scores OF
commanders who believed that God was
not only on the side of the largest bat
talions but particularly with those who
struck first.
This plan of the attack has been
worked out beautifully on the chess
board. It is generally believed in this
game that the man with the first move
has better chance to win than his
opponent.
Birds to be observed in the average
home garden seldom engage in any real
fighting, bill to bill and claw to claw,
but mostly content themselves with flap
ping their wings at each other.
Usually this is harmless enough.
+ +
Chasing another bird, either Of the
same or different species, can become an
easy way to real victory.
Whether the chased bird is finally
pecked to death, unless it manages to
outwit its pursuer, as the robin did, is
something few observers know anything
about.
Our personal belief is that this seldom
happens. There are always other birds
flying around, usually some of the same
species, and these begin to set up a
clamor and try to draw of the pursuer.
Often when friends Of birds think they
are hearing cat being chased they are
listening to the songsters attempting to
draw away some bird of another species
chasing one Of their own tribe.
X
We hope that the writer of the above
excellent letter, who shows himself real
nature lover, will not permit one such
incident to make him dislike the blue
jays.
No doubt the next time he witnesses
such an event the tables will be turned
and it will be robin chasing q bluejay.
1t must be admitted, Of course, that
the robins, members of the thrush and
bluebird family, are not SO inclined to
aggressiveness. But in nature we have
to take the creatures as they are, not
as We would like them to be.
Probably if an average kindly humans
ideas of life could be put into universal
effect, we would behold a world of nature
which could not hold together at all,
but in unexplained ways would 60 to
pieces, and in the end the grand smash
up" be more awful than anything we
are compelled to witness now.
Fifteen bluebirds in . flock is some
thing few people are privileged to see.
It is enheartening to hear of this, to
know that this most beautiful songster at
times may be seen not in twos or tours,
but in real numbers.

DIR. OswaldO Aranha.

The appointment Of DR.. Oswaldo
Aranha, for three years Ambassador Of
Brazil In Washington, as foreign min
lister of South Americas largest republic
is gratifying to those In this country who
feared that President Getuho Vargas
coup Of last November finally had landed
Brazil in the Fascist camp.
DIR. Aranha assumes his new post filled
with enthusiasm for the Pan-American
ideal and the conviction that the con-
tinued free existence of the small Latin
American countries depends upon q live
interest by the United States in their
welfare. Besides his open advocacy Of
closer relations between North and South
America, he is pillar Of democracy In
Latin America and proponent Of stead
fast resistance to the infusion of Euro
pean ideologies In the American cont.
nent.
Although DR.. Aranha took q leading
part in support Of the American proposal
for an inter-American neutrality con-
vention at the Buenos Aires Peace Con.
ference, he will be able in his new posi-
ton to influence even more the outcome
of the Eighth 1nter-American Con-
ference at Lima next December. The
principal task there will be to complete
the work begun at Buenos Aires Of or
ganizing the Americas for peace.
The new foreign minister's close con-
tact with the evolution Of the reciprocal
trade agreement program Of Secretary Of
State Cordell Hull puts him In q strategic
position to carry forward the gospel Of
economic disarmamentr With which he Is
In hearty accord.

1S4s, when Karl Marx and Friedrich
Engels published the Communist Mani
festo" and launched the modern socialist
movement to which most contemporary
aeitators either directly or indirectly be-
long. The pattern Of their thought has
been thst everybody is greedy except
the proletartan, everybody IL fanatical
except the spokesmen for the working
classes" A casual glance at the ntera-
ture Of radicalism will sullice to prove
the rigidity Of the doctrine. For ex-
ample. consider the oft-repeated opinion
that no individual by his own honest
effort can earn q million dollars. It is
employed in season and out to stimulate
the hatred Of the "have nots" for the
"haves." Yet it is fundamentally false.
Only q few years ago an inventor de-
signed an improved razor which brought
him fortune in royalties. Was his
genius not worthy Of reward, his labor
not entitled to its hire? II the answer
be an Affirmative, then personal initia-
tive ought to be punished.
And 50 1t is in Soviet Russia! The
prevailing persecution of independent
thought in that unhappy land is a logical
development of the fundamental in
tolerance of radical bigotry. Liberty
does not flourish in communist society.
Not even the proletariat is free under q
Dictatorship Conformity is demanded
of the supposed beneticiaries of the
system. If any critic dares to challenge
Its merits, he is hustled before a firing
squad. The price Of the cooperative
commonwealth" then, Is intellectual
slavery. Unless the American people
desire a like fate, they would do well to
consider the implications of present
trends in the United States.
