CRAIG RITES
WidOW Is Buried in

Monday, was celebrated today at

Burial was in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
A native of Washington, Mrs.

Railway, who died five years ago.
She was the daughter of Morris
Joyce, who established the engrav.

period clearly proves that eco,
nomtc laws do exist. 1t shows
that they govern onomic
"cycles," which come and go re-
gardless of what the President
does. 1t gives the laugh to the
absurdity of saying, I'VE planned
1t that way"
An economic law, like all laws
Of science, is a statement of gen
eral truth about economic affairs.
Economists observe that over
valued money tends to drive un-
dervalued money out of circula-
ton.
They find the explanation in
the tendency to hoard the more
valuable money, and the tendency
Of debtors to use it in making
payments. Then they conclude
that "Gresham's Law" is true,
and will be effective whenever the
attempt is made to keep two un-
equal currencies in circulation.
MEMS DESIRES
Such laws arise out of human
nature and the limitations of ex-
ternal nature. Mostly they deal
with mems desires, and their ef-
forts and costs in getting a liv-
ing. Thus they concern the ad-
tustments which we have to make
to one another and to our en-
vtronment, both as producers and
consumers.
In fact, economic law finds ex-
preston in business cycles. The
ups and downs Of such cycles are
a product of the struggle to equili-
brate demand and supply.
This was proved in 1927, when,
despite stimulants and prop
aganda, business reacted and went
through depression. In fact, we
suffered more in the United States
than elsewhere, because we did
more in the futile attempt to fly
in the face of economic law.
CITES FEAR
Now, again, in 1938-39 we will
see the recovery phase of a bust
ness cycle. 1t will come much as
1t has always done in the past
under both Democratic and Re
publican administrations
with more irregularity, and more
artificial stimulation required, be-
cause of the taxes, unemployment
and fear of the New Deal.
Will we again fall for the old
SNUG stuff about how I'VE planned
1t that way?"
Or will we not realize thai
economic laws exist, and that we
must adjust ourselves accordingly?
If We do, we will quit all this fool
ish attempt to create purchasing
power" by going into debt.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. 10
Alexandria police may soon have
a two-way communicating system,

Application for a construction
permit for the system is now pend

applied for.
The system includes use Of a

cars. Use of an ultra-high fire.
quency of 31,100 kilocycles, q wave

With the system, Alexandria

work. It was the first city in

at 412 E. 38th st. in the heart of
the colored residential section on

want the Minn.-Iowa Club to OPP

from the club and he has been
busy circulating a petition among
the white people in that section
against the club.
Herman thinks it fine to make IS
per cent of his living off the Ne
gro residents in that area but he
doesn't like the idea of the Mime
sota-Iowa Club providing a place
of recreation for the young and
old people of that district, many of
whom are his customers,
Most of Herman's Negro custo-
mers have got wise to the petition
he is circulating and are buying
their ice elsewhere. There are

borhood and all of the sections
where colored people live and

Assails Bar
Association on
Racial Bias

WASHINGTON, Aug. = (CNA)
Exclusion of Negroes by the
American Bar Association is one
of the points on which the con-
sentative lawyers organization
was assailed by Lee FRESHMAN,
general counsel of the Committee
for Industrial Organization, in an
article appearing in the CLIO News
this week.
The Go attorney denounced the
Bar Association for its attacks
upon the Social Security Act and
the National Labor Relations
Board and derided the action of
the recent convention of the asso-
citation in setting up committee
for the defense of civil liberties"
while its most prominent members
advocate violation of the Wagner
Act and other New Deal measures
designed to protect labor.
FRESHMAN then presented a "bill
of particulars" of the reactionary
policies of the Bar Association, in
GLIDING discrimination against
Negro lawyers.
"The record shows" he writes,
chat the American Bar Associa-
ton, in its application blanks for
membership, requires the applicant
to state whether he is white, In
dian, Negro or Monaghan, and that
all those who cannot say they are
white are excluded from member
ship"

125th Street, New York City, its
Fifth Annual Convention will be
