WASHINGTON (ANP)- How
ard University should thank its
guardian angel, if it has one, that
Prof. Julius Iipps, former profess
so rof anthropo'ogy, is 10 longer
identified with that institution, If
the stories now being told about
Herr Professor have an iota OF
truth in them.
DR.. Lipps, former lecturer IN
anthropology as the University OF
Cologne in Germany, came 10
Howard as a visiting professor at
the instigation of a very weattny
member of the board Of trustees
and was almost foisted upon the
school. He had to be accepted, and
his previous history was not in
vestigated. The fact that he was
a lecturer at Cologne s!lfficed to
place him in Howard, according to
a source close to the adminiStra-
ton at the university.
CAREER BRIEF
Of an overbearing Teutonic nature
DR.. Lipps enjoyed one OF the
briefest. though stormiest and most
turbulent careers any UNIVERSITY
gro fessor has to his credit.
AT first, he was assigned to the
university for one year, the school
paying $4,000 of his salary, the bal
ance being paid by foundation.
During his first semester at the
school, most of the Negro profess
sors attempted to be friendly with
DR.. Lipps, but his overbearing
Germanic attitude, which indicat-
ed that he had nothing hut con-
tempt for his associates, soon
alienated those who had been
somewhat friendly toward him
And this attitude was continued
even in the classroom and the
department which DR.. Lipps him
self set up--the department OF
anthropology. According to the
best information, there was never
such a department at the univer-
sity-it was a Pigment of DR..
Lipps' own creation The ruling OH
such matters, according to our
informant, is that the faculty must
first vote the necessity for such a
department, pass their resolution
on to the board Of trustees, wnlch
in turn usually adopts the findings
of the faculty. This was never
done at Howard and nr. Alpps
own department, was really ms
own creation, and he was ehe soie
instructor.

merging the two will be reopen
ed, a movement supported by
leading Negro physicians and civic
workers for more than five years.
Almost 100000 Is appropriated
annually to the two hospitals by
the commonwealth, the leaders
maintain that neither institution is
adequate in either personnel or
equipment to serve the huge Negro
community.
MOVE GAINS IMPETUS
The reorganization movement
gained greater impetus when the
Pennsylvania Institute of Negro
Health in a public statement,
charged that eff the community
fund of Philadelphia would make
even a cursory study of the man
ner in which the money approprl-
ated to it's Negro institutions was
spent, it would see the need for
wide reorganization.
That organization, which Is
headed by DR.. Frederick M. Hop
kins, published a statement Satur-
day in which it said that it would
continue to fight to give Negroes
in Philadelphia a full dollars

Sweeping changes will be made IN
the disqualification facilities for
Philadelphia's 100000 Negroes
within the next few days, it was
revealed by Eric H. Biddle, execu-
tive director of the Community
fund, following a survey of the
two Negro hospitals, Mercy and
Douglass.
Evidence of this appeared when
the entire staff and board of di-
rectors of the Mercy hospital, the
citys largest Negro hospital, was
asked to resign.
AS predicted two months ago by
a local newspaper, Fleming D.
Tucker, the assistant superinten-
dent was dismissed on the grounds
of inefficiency, and a survey of the
hospitals affairs was launched.
STATE SECRETARY STUDIES
PROPOSAL
The fact that State Secretary of
Welfare E. Arthur Sweeny is
studying a proposal chat he
appoint a lay-profesSional COM
mittee to plan health activities in
the future among Philadelphia's
Negro population gives indications
that the commonwealth will also
take a hand in trying to give that
group something approaching ade-
quate disqualification accommoda-
tons.

tails may merge when the state
which supports both institutions,
intervenes. At least, the case for

I sale of war materials TO Japan
was stressed by DR.. Chang. Without
these materials Japan would have
to end the war and stop the sense
Jess slaughter of millions of Chinese
civilians, women, children anc
babies. The cruelty of the Japanese
soldiers who assault and then bayo-
net to death entire villages of de-
fenseless women and girls was tolc
with remarkable restraint.
MEN, WOMEN ARRESTED
Prince Nyobongo described the
efforts of italian police to break
the spirit of the Ethiopian people
who are still resisting italian oc-
cupation. Women and men are ar
rested in hordes, have their heads
shaved clean of all hair. The wom-
en- are then forced to undress in
the presence of the soldiers and to
sit naked until their clothes are
boiled in some machine and handed
hack to them.
Health conditions are unSpeak-
able. There is in some kraals one
water hole to supply 2700 persons.
These are fouled by sick members.
DysenterN relapsing fever, small
pux and typhus are widespread. In
che kraal 100 persons affected by
small pox, most of them with viru-
lent dysentery, were crowded into
a cave. The floor of tie cave was
covered with eXcrement as was the
approach to the water hole. Little
relief reaches these victims, as the
general public seems unaware OF
their existence.
APPOINT COMMITTEE
At the close of the conference
DR.. lines appointed a committee
headed by DR.. Charming Tobias, to
invite representatives of th'
Chinese and Ethiopian people to
further explore and recommend a
definite program for organizing aid
to these three unfortunate groups
victims of fascist aggression.
The conference appointed DR.

EFFICIENCY AND
ECONOMY SHOWN
In STATE AUDIT
MATTER DEALS WITH Of
FIcE OF MOTOR VEHICLE
COMMISSIONER OF STATE
OF FLORIDA

TALLAHASSEE, Jan. IT,
.FNS) The efficiency and econ
omy with which the office of D.
w. Finley, motor vehicle commits
sioner, is being operated, is con-
clusively shown by the official
state audit of this department
released this week by State
! Auditor w. M. Wainwright.
The audit, which covers the
period from September "a, 1887
to and including November 10,
1888, shows total collections by
the motor vehicle department of
Sc, 445, 820.73 from all sources.
The schools of Florida received
$5,831, 1882 from the collections
in which they participate by law
and $425, 900 which was trans
ferred to the school fund from
savings made through the eco
nomical operation of the depart
ment from its expense fund;
making a total of $6,256, 129. 82
which was contributed to the
schools by the department.
1.-THE financial management ap-
pears to have been efficient and
economical" the audit says. 'The
cash control is better than aver
age and it is believed that by the
adoption of oral suggestions Of
fered from time to time during
the course of the audit it will be
/ faultless."
| During the period under re-
| view $425, 900 was made available
to the county school fund from
the MVL Expense Fund repre-
senting the amount accumulated
in excess of requirements for the
operation of the department.
"The records are neatly and ac-
curately kept, as evidenced by
the fact that out of several mil
lion dollars handled in the office
there is only 20 cents on hand
which cannot be definitely iden-
titled. This difference probably
| represents small .overcollections
in postage stamps, such as seven
teen Scent stamps to cover the
50-cent charge for a duplicate of
a title certificate" the audit
| states.
