Economic
Highlights
Makes Good

Those economists who are won
dering just how much longer the
world can go on building up its
ornaments without entering bank
ruptcy are getting more and more
food for sober thought and argu-
ment.
We are the richest country in
the world, and our $1,126, 200, 900
defense bill for the next fiscal year
is the largest in our peace time
history Yet this is hardly a drop
in the bucket compared to what
Europe and Asia are spending.
Great Britain's budget is close to
$4,000, OO0,000 Japan's is over ST.
500,000,000. Frances is about the
same as ours. Italy's is S611, 000,-
600 and will probably be increased.
Germany doesn't publish figures of
this nature, but her arms expense
is huge.
Lastly-hold your breath here
the U. S. S. r. has announced a
defense budget running to the al
most unbelievable sum of S7,7OO,-
100000. That is creating plenty
of headaches among Russia's po-
tential enemies. And it comes as
encouraging news to the Europ-
can democracies, which hope to
enlist 1.-The bear that walks like
man" as an ally.
These figures show why the
standard of living abroad is stead
lily dropping. In Germany, it is
said, one-fourth of the entire ma
tional income goes for orms and
public works, neither of which are
edible.

Takarazuka Girls To
Appear Here; Little
Toxic To Entertain
By Bob Olxazaki

|, The Takarazuka Girls are COM
ing to town - that's why all the
Japanese are excited and Nippon
csc merchants, shop-keepers, ma
ma-san, and all the little children
beam with inward pride and Little
Toxic" is making ready for a gala
holiday.
What and Why are Talxara-
zuka Girls?
They are members of the famous
Takarazuka Girls Opera School of
Dance and Music.
At the invitation of the San
Francisco Worlds Fair they ap-
peared before appreciative aud
fences on Treasure Island and so
tremendously were they acclaimed
that the New York Fair also in
vited them to show their Japan
csc theater art.
And now, having won the plaud-
its of American critics and theater
audiences, they are going back to
Nippon by way of Seattle, but
only after giving Seattle audiences
chance to see their show at the
Music Hall Theater on June II
and 10.
Forty girl performers and TWEEN
ty-six male technicians make up
the troupe and Seattle's Nipponese
population has planned a series of
social functions, sightseeing trips,
teas and receptions for these rep
resentatives to the two Worlds
Fairs.
Their show promises to be the
most beautifully costumed produc-
ton ever ever seen here. Their
scenery display is an example of
the best in Japanese theatrical art.
Silks and brocades; hand-painted,
embroidered, and tye-died crea-
tons of vivid color; spectacular
scenes; these make the artistic
setting for the doll-like dancers
and singers CARRIED in gorgeous
kimonos.
Readers of the Northwest Emit
erprise will be especially interested
to know that at the Takarazuka
Opera School in Japan a course of
study in Negro spirituals is a
requirement in the curriculum
And that slow motion pictures of
Bill Robinson's nimble tapping feet
are shown to classes in American
Dance.
Miss Hukuko Sayo, leading lady
of the show coming to Seattle,
likes recordings by Paul Robson.

Community Scholarship
Award Blanks Available
BY A. ID. Il.

The Community Scholarship
Fund announced this week that
application blanks for scholarship
awards are now available at the
office of the secretary, 326 Rail-
way Exchange Bldg. Applications
will be received up to July 20, the
close of the membership campaign,
but the trustees are urging High
School and University students
who are interested, to make ap-
plication at once.
One hundred dollar tuition scho-
larships to the University of Wash
ington are awarded to as many
students as the funds may ac-
comodate. The awards are based
primarily on the students scho-
lastic record, his vocational choice
and how well he has planned or
worked toward his goal, as well
as the students need for such
assistance.
The Scholarship Fund raises its
money for this program through
two efforts concentrated within a
two months period. First, the
membership campaign which closes
this year on July 20. Member
ships of 81, S., $40 on up are re-
ceived from individuals and organ
izations who each year see in the
Scholarship Fund a m e d u m
through which they might be of
assistance to those who are found
to be the most worthy. Member
to be the most worthy. Member
ships reported at the last meeting
were: Mrs. Lorena Powell, $500,
Self Improvement Club, $1,000.
The second effort for raising
funds is the annual scholarship
dance which this year will be
given at Faurot's Hall, 18th at E.
Pike, on June 10. At this dance
all High School and University
Graduates in the state who send
in their names, are sent invitations
as honor guests, and compliment
airy tickets. Each graduate will
be given favors made by a COM
mittee of which Juanita Valley is
chairman. In addition each honor
graduate will be presented with
an extra gift in recognition of
their honor rating. These honor
gifts are being furnished by DR..
VIM. H. Calhoun and James Cay
ton, both members of the Trustee
Board.
This year, as an added attrac-
ton to dancers, Lester Berg, jew
eler at 1412 Bird Ave-, will give a
17-jewel watch away. The re-
cipient of this valuable prize will
be chosen from the paid adj
missions. Mr.. Berg explained to
the committee that he wants to do
his share to help the Scholarship
Fund raise its quota for such a
laudable cause. Mr.. Berg will be
present to award the prize.

Vow You Tell One
Hlites

Mr.. Joseph Jackson, former Ur-
ban League secretary, came back
to see that the work which he so
faithfully wrought was not in
vain. Faithful to the end, it may
well be said of Mr.. Joseph Stack
son in days to come mo mention
may be made of the NAACP in
Seattle and leave his name I'M
spoken"
Rev. Fred A. Hughes, president
of the NAACP and it's faithful
secretary, Mrs. LeEtta King, new
er left the firing line. Mr.. ]. A.
Jack Johnson and E. I. Robinson
served briefs for their respective
organizations.
Look at them!! Fred H. Paschal,
ex-officer, was credited with be-
ing the finest police officer in the
city of Seattle, according to a cou-
pie of witnesses. And he never
was reprimanded for brutality?
And Mr.. Paschal says that all Ne
groes wear knives. Can witnesses
be ironicall
Teachers and instructors of law
always advice students that if
they should have no defense, the
only thing to do would be to talk
about everything except the case.
Attorney Chavelle representing
Paschal certainly took up the en-
tire afternoon trying to prove what
fine officer his client was.
The only questions the Commits
sion. need consider now is whether
or not these officers are guilty of
perjury, tampering with witnesses
and failure to aid superior in de-
termining the truth of relevant
matter. And then to determine
whether or no such officers should
again be considered worthy of the
public trust.
John Follings, who won a judy
ment against officer Paschal, was
an interesting spectator and will
probably be called to offer testi-
mony against his reinstatement.

WASHINGTON, d. c. tUNP)-
A new high in democratic prac-
tees was hit last week when Har-
old Ickes, Secretary of the Inter
Tor, denied the use of the Sylvan
theatre to the National Gentle
League, Inc, when they applied
for it for a rally meeting.
In refusing the group the use of
the building, Ickes stated, THE
Sylvan theatre belongs to all of the
people in the United States regard
less of race. creed or color, and
for that reason we should not per-
nit its use by any organization,
which according to the letterhead
and body of its application, is de-
signed to foster, if not create, race
prejudices against another group
of American citizens"
The application was filed by one

last week.
Sam Swanson, Pennsylvania Ne
gro, is the alleged slayer of a
white constable, William Coward,

Housing Civil Service,
Police Brutality Hit
At A. X. A. Conference

DETROIT, Mich. (UNP) Civil
service, housing and police brutal
ity were foremost among the is
sues which the recent conference
for Democratic and Economic
Rights. sponsored by the Alpha
Kappa Alpha sorority, emphasized
in it's resolutions.
Contending that 1.-The great ma
jority of Negroes are poorly hous-
ed and forced by segregation and
discrimination to live in ghettoes
and pay greater rent for the same
kind of housing and often more
for inferior housing than other
groups; and that such conditions
result in the moral delinquency of
the people, bad health and juvenile
delinquency in such areas, the con-
ference urged all delegates pre-
sent to carry back to their respec-
tive organization the Importance
of supporting the Public Housing
bill so that more housing projects
can be established for such blight
ed areas, and also urged their in
tensive support through letters and
kilograms and other pressure
means, to the mayor and the Com
mon asking them to support the
Wagner-Steagall Housing bill.
Negroes have been victimized,
killed and manhandled by the po-
lice department" the resolutions
committee stated in it's report and
as conclusive proof of its allega-
lions cited the recent Jesse James,
and 15-year-old Leo Lothridge,
both victims of police callousness
and prejudice.
To counterfeit such fragrant a
buses of justice, the committee
emphasized the necessity of all
groups supporting the END Po-
lice Brutality Committee" which
was established Approximately one
month ago, so that the Negro may
present a united front in protest
of such heinous conduct on the
part of police toward minority
groups.
Alleging that the Civil Service
rule requiring the attachment of
photograph to all application
blanks tends to discriminate ag-
ainst minority groups; and that
within the state there exist large
numbers of employees who are
unclassified and without the bene-
fits of Civil Service protection, and
that, further, with the removal of
Civil Service protection from state
employees by the present legisla-
ture, Michigan has been returned
to the "spoils SYSTEM" the confer
ence went on record as supporting
the Federal House bill 1874, 1856,
and 1856, known as the Ramspeck
bill and designed to remedy the
aforementioned abuses, an durged
each group represented and all
delegates present to contact the
Michigan Merit association in Lam
sing, Michigan, giving support to
the proposed referendum for the
return to Civil Service in Michi-
gan.
