Business and Professional
Head Issues Statement


tering about the Phyllis Wheatley
House Board. Fortunately, in this age
there are no taboos SO it is no crime
to express an honest opinion, especial
ly if it is based on facts. A matter as
important as the social welfare of
Minneapolis Negroes cannot and will
not be left up to a handful of self
elected individuals sitting on any
board, as final
Try to Help
The Business and Professional AS
ISOLATION is composed of a group of
people who have been able to main
tain their sphere of activity because
of the good will of the pubic. We be-
lieve that we should give more to the
public than just our commodity. We
believe that we should try to help in
unified manner to better the general
condition of race-relations in Minnea-
polls. In this way only, will things
be made better here for all and, es-
pecially for the children, young men
and young women who are about to
launch out into very unfriendly
world.
No Attempt to Dictate
We do not believe that we should
dictate all policies of any or all other
organizations or institutions However,
we feel that we, as an organization,
have as much right to investigate
any matter dealing with the general
| welfare as anyone else or any organ
ization or any newspapers.
Asked for Conference
With this in mind, we recently asked
for a conference with the Board which
controls Phyllis Wheatley House.
AS this Board was about to employ
new head-resident, we felt that we
might offer them some suggestions
that would be beneficial to the COM
munity. eve could not benefit per-
sonally because our business life is
not dependent upon that House. We
knew that if the right type of head
resident were placed in charge and al
| lowed to carry out constructive pol
| lev. then the House would be a
Understanding agency in fact, as
well as, in name We did not inter-
fere with any other organization max
| ing the same request if it was de-
red. Apparently, however, the Board
became panic stricken, for our request
| for a conference was ignored and in
stead an invitation was sent to more
! than a dozen organizations, including
ours, announcing an immediate hear
ing on the subject, What Is the Matter
with Phyllis Wheatley House? We
declined the invitation because we
were not interested in what was the
matter but rather we were eager to
assist in starting an upward trend of
affairs, which had reached low ebb.
/ We knew that only the most vague of
generalities could be touched by such
joint group and since no other or
ganization had requested conference,
we knew that the time was too short
in which organizations could be sum-
moned so that their delegates could
represent the organizations viewpoint.
Our prophesy was correct, as later

Educator Says U. 5.
Fails 10 Support
Public Schools
North CoroIinu President
Says Roods and Defense
Outstrip Education

By the Associated Press.
A university president told a Sen
ate Education Subcommittee today
the United States had failed tc
carry out "the American system
In supporting its public schools.
The witness, Frank P. Graham,
president of North Carolina Uni
versity, Chapel Hill, N. c., urged
congressional approval of bill pro-
viding more than 100000, 900 in the
next six years in new Federal grants
to States for education.
Federal support for education, DR..
Graham complained, had not kept
pace with Federal expenditures for
roads, defense, highways, health,
agriculture and social security.
Urges Support for Bill.
He urged support for the measure
introduced by Senators Thomas,
Democrat, of Utah, and Harrison,
Democrat, of Mississippi, which
would begin with grants of $75,-
600, 900 and increase to more than
5000, 100000 in the sixth year.

President Roosevelt's Advisory Com
mittee on Education. told the SUBJ

committee yesterday the Federal
Government must aid education II
democratic institutions are to sur
vive.
Unless the Federal Government
participates in the financial support
of the schools and related sources In
the less able areas" Mr.. Reeves said,
several million Of the children of
the United States will continue to be
denied to large extent the educa-
tional opportunities that should be
regarded as their birthright."
He said the Federal Government
could in no manner control or die
tate to the States on education mat
ters under the proposed legislation.
The measure specifically prohibits
undesirable activity" by Federal ad-
ministrative officers in State educa-
tional matters, he said.
Lewis Indorses Plan.
Endorsement of the plan came
from John L. Lewis on behalf of the
c. I. o. and from the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
Edward R. O'Neal, president of the
federation, told the committee the
gross inequalities of educational op-
portunity now existing in the United
States are shocking and disgraceful."
In a statement to the committee,
Mr.. Lewis said:
1T is not fair to the citizens of
any one State that their children
should be allowed tc enter into the
life of the Nation lacking the edu-
cational opportunity of those of an
other State"

Granville Jacobs
Tulks to Ad Men

Granville Jacobs, expert on how to

terday demonstrated his long
memory to the complete satisfaction
OF members of the Advertising Club
Of Washington.
Speaking ct a luncheon at the
Raleigh Hotel, Mr.. Jacobs decided
as demonstration of face and name
memory to attempt to name each of
the 68 guests at the luncheon. He
had been introduced to them for the
first time at the luncheon but slipped
up only in the pronunciation of one
name.
Mr.. Jacobs insisted that speaking
before one person differs only men
tally from speaking before 100 per-
sons. A principal fear, he said, is of
making mistake, but asked the
audience If it knew of a speaker
who does not made mistakes.

Mr.. Elder claims Pete is the only

by genuine American COW
puncher (Mr. Elder on a Texas
bronco especially imported for the
purpose.
Last night Pete's boxing, while it
failed to roll the customers into the

representative.
Notified With Milk.
1t seems Pete was unhappy about
something and refused to put on
his gloves. He wanted to use his
bare knuckles until Mr.. Elder molh-
fed him with glass of hot milk.
Then Pete got even grouchier and
chased couple of hecklers around
the arena. 1t seems he noticed a
dowager examining him through a
lorgnette. That invariably makes
a wild marsupial wilder.
For the rest of his engagement
here Pete will sleep in Mr.. Elders
trailer parked behind the hotel.
The engineer said that suits him
fine. Asked if he thought striker
had him last night, the engineer
said to quote him as saying he had
nothing to say.

BY w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr,

Nerves got a bit jittery at the
Shoreham Hotel last night, espe-
cially the stationary engineers, what
with leaping marsupial lurking in
the basement.
The engineer wasted no thought
on marsupials as he moved about
in the darkness with his f1ashlight,
Tightening this gadget and throw
ing that lever. In fact, he was
humming little tune.
Suddenly two hairy arms clasped
him from behind. The stationary
engineer couldn't move. His nerves
jumped, though, he said. His first
shock was nothing much compared
with the one he got when he twisted
about and flashed his light on the
face of his assistant.
The engineer had never met
Pete, who has funny face even in
daylight. Pete wagged his mule
ears and showed his teeth. They
were herbivorous teeth, and Pete
was only grinning, but the engineer
couldn't know that.
Was Only an Entertainer.
The engineer never learned until
later that Pete was an entertainer
at the hotel. Pete's master, Ted

St. Roses School
Visited by Community
Chest Speakers
Training of 90 Girls
To Meet Future
Problems Is Explained

Volunteer members of the Com
munity Chest Speakers Bureau last
night made a "see-for-yourself" visit
to st. Roses Technical School, 1900
California street NV, where shelter
and guidance are furnished for more
than 80 girls.
Most of the girls in the school are
orphans, or half orphans, between ID
and 18 years of age, who otherwise
would lack safe shelter and guidance
through the impressionable years of
adolescence. Sister Mary, superin-
tendent of the home, told the
visitors.
Aims Are Detailed.
"St Roses undertakes to provide
homeike atmosphere combined
with good training and a practical
education Sister Mary said. I'VE
feel that our girls will make better
citizens and improve the status of
the community in which they re-
side. because they are trained to
become efficient business women or
capable mothers in the home"
The visitors learned that st. Rose S
offers commercial course in which
the girls can prepare for stenog-
raphy and other forms of Office
work, in addition to giving a reg
ular high school course. Instruc-
ton in cooking and other forms OF
domestic science also are offered.
Some of the futures" which pay
dividends on the Community Chest
investments were described to the
speakers. One 1888 graduate is TAX
ing an evening course in accounting
and another who has beautiful
voice is continuing under a Met
ropolitan opera singer the vocal
training begun at St. Roses. Three
girls obtained temporary Govern
ment positions Immediately after
graduation.
Those Making Tour.
Seven of the speakers, who are
Government employees and also
members of the Federal Conmun-
ity Chest forum, were Mrs. Harriet
F. Bryant, War Department; Lula
Davis, Department of Agriculture;
George A. Herman, Bureau of En-
craving and Printing; John N
Stewart. District government; Miss
Susie v. Watwood and Col Thomas
Frailey of the Veterans Admins
tration, and Mrs. Frailey. Others
attending included Raymond P.
