HOWARD HEAD RED COBB
TELLS PROBERS

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE Dies in
vestigating committee turned the spot
light on Howard university, this week
when former Judge James A. Cobb
testified that Dr. Mordecai Johnson
president of Howard, had openly ad-
vocated Communism.
The Committee was told that poll
tics had kept Secretary Ickes from
acting upon the recommendation Of
his own investigators that Presidnct
Johnson be removed not only for his
communistic tendencies but also for
alleged "misappropriation" of funds
The university, as a result of this
"nlisappropriation," was required by
the Department of Interior to return
to the Federal Government more than
$4,000 from its endowment.

10000 FACE JOBLESS WINTER
IN TEXAS

San Antonio, Tex, Nov, (By Elaine
for CNA)-Because local government
al agencies have failed to sponsor ad-
ditional projects to WPA workers,
more than $4,000 Negro and white per-
sons in this state are facing winter
without prospect of employment Of
this number, l7,485 are farmers for
whom special funds are available for
their employment; but they are pre-
vented from receiving it because of
the lack of projects.
The failure of cities, counties, and
school districts to do their share has
resulted in this situation, which is pre-
venting employment of more than one
third of the total number of persons
awaiting assignment, according to
State Administrator H. P. Drought.

BOUNTY ON
MINNESOTA
NEGROES

The twin cities has seen the de-
velopment of new racket among
Negroes. Undertaking, profession
of which we have always been
proud to have in our midst, has
gradually taken on proportions, pro-
badly unlike any city in America
except possibly Baltimore. We re-
fer to the diligence that is exercised
in some quarters, in an effort to Sc
cure business.
A new field has opened to almost
anyone with a sympathetic express
sion and lot of nerve. Rewards
are fairly generous, for if you sue
ceed in landing a choice cadaver,
Chose withe some insurance), you
stand to make anywhere from five
to fifteen dollars.
If Aunt Jennie gets sick, sooner
or later some doleful representative
OF the new auxiliary to emba1ming,
will become very solicitous. The
frequent visits, and in some cases,
the gifts of sickroom flowers, would
put the average worthy lodge to
shame. Should Aunt Jennie be un-
fortunate and pass on, the able rep
resentative manages to be some
where in the offing, mingling busi-
ness cards with condolences.
This. fast age being what it is,
naturally improvements have come
by leaps and bounds. Not only is
this technique confined to individual
gestures, it is claimed in some
quarters that they are now function
ing on cooperative basis.
This has its advantages, as we'll
as its drawbacks. 1t insures a rea-
sonable number of interested callers,
but the penalty is almost impossible
to escape. Instead of a single tact
ful suggestion, surviving relatives
are liable to be buried beneath an
avalanche of business cards.
There is very little criticism of
the activity, probably due to the
TACT that survivors are usually so
upset that they consider the whole
affair as friendly gesture, never
realizing that they probably knew
all of the available morticians in
town anyhow.
1t doesn't escape the bounty
angle though, for it is still worth
from five to fifteen dollars to some
one if you will kindly kick off.

US. HOUSING AUTHORITY
TAKES OVER PROJECT

The US. Government has taken
over the Sumner Field Homes project
from the Walter Butler Company
Contractors. Approval and acceptance
of the project in its entirety, permits
plans for early occupancy to progress
with more speed. 1t is definitely ex-
pected now, that tenants will begin
moving in about the middle of Decem-
Der. Applications for housing are still
being received. No tenants have been
selected as yet, although there have
been quite a number investigated
There has been a fair share of re.
jections, all have been caused by some
clear conflict with the housing law.

ST. LOUIS THEATRE DROPS
JIMCROW FOR PINS
AND NEEDLES"

ST. Louis, Mo-, Nov.-Taking firm
stand against Jim Crow" the St.
Louis Branch of the American League
for Peace and Democracy announced
this week that it would not be par
ty to segregation of Negroes at per-
formances of "Pins and Needles"
The play, whose cast is composed of
members of the International Ladies
Garment Workers, opened at the
American Theatre last week.
Contrary to rumors," said Louise
Spencer, League secretary, "the con-
tract we signed with the American
Theatre for the play had absolutely
no segregation clause in it, and the
League would not have signed any
contract that had such a clause"
When the theatre management in
sisted upon a Jom Crow policy, the
League held a conference with the rep
resentatives of Negro and white pro-
gressive groups.
A committee from this conference
succeeded in having the management
revoke segregation in the first and
second balconies-the first time such
concession has been won in any St.
Louis theatre.

HARVEY ADKINS PLEADS
GUILTY

Harvey Adkins, northside musician,
who was accused of having robbed a
Western Union Telegraph office on
October 28, plead guilty to charges of
attempted robbery, and given an in
derterminate sentence.
Adkins had previously attempted to
enter plea of guilty to robbery with
a gun when he was first arraigned. At
this time the court refused to accept
his plea, because of the serious nature
of the crime, and due to the fact that
he was not represented by counsel.
After further investigation of his case
by the county attorneys office, he was
permitted to plead guilty to attempted
robbery, crime carrying lighter
punishment
Adkins claims that the robbery was
attempted, because of illness of his
child, and that he was without funds
to secure proper medical attention.
After he had succeeded in forcing
the clerk of the telegraph office to lay
$500 on the counter, Adkins refused to
pick it up, leaving with the remark
that he knew better way than that
to get money He stated afterward,
that he was under the influence OF a
marajuana cigaret.
His case was referred for probation.

Mess Line

Memory still marches this twenty
years after,
Close in formation old faces / see,
Spec whom we left on the road by the
woodside,
Crafty grinning, his face on his knee.
George whom we found sleeping soft
1y and soundly,
Looked like child who was tired of
his play,
Blood bordered hole in his shirt told
the story,
Still they are marching as years pass
away.
Strange are the thoughts that come
twenty years after,
Strange with a sameness of yester-
days feel.
Tired and hard faces with innocent
traces,
Softening the lines, as art traces steel.
Vain men still sing their strange songs
of dead glory,
Glorious songs of gutsful of shot,
Young eyes see beauty, where we see
things CORY,
Wondering how-why God ever for
got.
Twenty years ago, the world was
whirling crafty, it was hysterical in
it's joy over peace, peace that closed
the chapter on war forever.
Twenty years is "a long time in most
comparisons, but mere yesterday
when one considers the horrors of war.
Now apparently the world has for
gotten its tears and blood. Men are
rearning, and most authorities claim
peace cannot last longer than two
years, at most.
Scattered throughout the country we
have MANNED veterans lying in hos
pitals, legless, armless, blind. We won
der what these men think as they view
their sacrifice in ware to end war;
There is deep lesson there, a story
of the folly of trusting human nature.
The vast majority, civilization notwith-
standing, are predatory animals, not
given to remembering friendship, past
favors, or anything else where there is
the slightest opportunity to gain, or all
too often to satisfy their ever hunger
ing ego. No there will never be
peace until humanity embraces the vir-
tues OF gratefulness and humility.
Mass movements for bettermentI
must always degenerate to the level of
their antagonists for the same reason.
Meanwhile there will be that group of
loyal and lovable souls who must suf-
fer for years, only to realize in the end,
that the sacrifice is vain, and those for
whom it was made are all too eager to
forget.
The American Legion, the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, the D.A.V., and the
other bona fide organizations, may it
be said to their eternal credit, have
carried on faithfully in behalf of the
things they and their comrades fought
for these twenty years.
We KNOW that they will continue
to carry on.
