A "home stretch" drive for votes
was launched by candidates In the
second and eighth Virginia congress
sional districts today.
With the primary slated a week
from tomorrow, the two districts in
which contests have developed over
the Democratic nominations saw an
intensification OF the campaigning by
five rivals
In the nearby eighth district, Rep
resentative Howard W. Smith con-
tinued his quiet quest for votes while
his opponent. William E. Dodd, jr.,

that New Dealers in Washington were

time Of their lives this summer. They
are busy night and day-yes. and SUM-
days. too-trying to persuade the elec-

ginia Congressional district that 1t is
their sacred duty to punish Represent
ative Howard w. Smith for his apost-
acy to the New Deal by defeating him
for denomination in the August Demo-
cratic primary.
In promotion Of this high and
notable objective, the Washington
liberals are fervently espousing the
candidacy Of William E. Dodd, jr., son
OF the former Ambassador to Germany,
who has entered the contest against
Representative Smith and is making
the welkin ring several times daily
with his denunciations Of the con-
servative attitude of the incumbent
toward the New Deal legislative pro-
gram. Only Mr.. Dodd doesn't use the
word conservative; he says reaction

PI(KEUS SAYS
FIGHT On"

COLUMBUS, June %. Dean
William pickens, director Of branch
es for the NAACP, addressed the
local branch at its regular monthly
meeting which was held at Shiloh
Baptist church last Friday evening
While commenting at length upon
the fight being waged by the local
ranch upon segregation, he urged
chat more and more cases should be
brought against those who deny
civil rights. It is miracle if you
win the first case. Those who sponsor
egregation believe that when Ne
groes meet defeat once, they get
discouraged and quit. Fight on, file
one case after another. And then
when November comes, don't forget
those public officials who neglect
their duty says Dean Pickens.
Don't Buy Segregation.
Continuing in this same line of
thought, Dean Pickens stated that
there is one theatre fight that no
power in Columbus should prevent
the Negroes in Columbus from win
ming. No one can force you to spend
your money with a firm which docs
not treat all citizens alike-in all
parts Of the city. Don't Buy segre-

A. A. Sshomburg

The New York Negro has added
another brilliant star to his shining
crown of achievement with the pas
sing of Mr.. Arthur Al. Schomburg.
Note especially he is not DR.. Schom,-
burg, nor Rev. Schomburg, nor Prof.
Schomburg, but plain Mr.. Schom
burg. 1t was pleasing to see that
the New York daily newspapers,
giving generous headlines and news
space to the story of his late career,
referred to him as "Mr. Arthur Alon-
20 Schomburg. We think it a un-
ique mark Of distinction when 4
Negro can live such life outside
professional circles that at his death
his story is told to the general
public under the simple yet digni-
fed title OF Mister"
A. A. schomburg was collector
Of literature on the Negro. Year by
year he added to his store, though
sheer love Of the work, until finally
the collection was purchased by the
Carnegie Foundation for $4,000
and presented to the New York
Public Library. The collection is
housed in the 135th Street tHarlem)
Branch of the Public Library, and
Is popularly known as the Schomburg
Collection.
Through his love Of books on the
Negro--a hobbyMr Schomburg
built his own monument 1t will last
as long as the collection lass; the
ool..c.ion will last as long as the
l.ew York Public Library lasts; and
the Public Library will last as lorg
as the City lasts
In any evaIuation of the Negro in
New York, we hope that our real
individuals of achievement, like Ar
thur Schomberg, will be named first,
and the Negro in New York will have
nothing to fear by comparison.
School Progress
In spite of the doldrums in eco
nomics, We are delighted to note
instances Of substantial progress in
the field of education. Storer Col
lege and Bethune Goodman College
announces their rise from the Ju-
nior TO the Senior College level.
West Virginia State announces
that members Of the regular teach
ing staff of Ohio State university
will give courses during five of the
nine weeks of summer school.
Virginia State college announces.
"Old Virginia Hall has gone, demol-
ished in the colleges march of prog
ress, and on its site the graduates
saw three new buildings, modern III
every respect, nearing completion.
New science, administration and IL
brary buildings will provide the best
facilities ever for the college
work "
And from Pennsylvania comes
this announcement which touches the
emotions and stirs the pride: After
serving as secretary of the board Of
trustees of Downington Industrial
School for 33 years, John G. Asbury
announced his retirement at the
schools commencement exercises on
June 9 He had served on the
board ever since the founding of the
school in 1905 q. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Asbury's son, David Asbury, a
rising young Philadelphia attorney,
will succeed to his fathers position.
And at Tuskegee we hear that:
ben Biggers and Emory James,
chief and second cook, respectively,
