Was Rare Human

(Reviewed for AMP by DR.. F. ID.
Patterson, President of Tuskegee
InStitue)
One must acknowledge the
biography of Julius Rosenwald by
Dr.. M. R. Werner and just pub
iished by Harper and Brothers as
distinct contribution to the lite
ratrlre of our time. 1t is a splen-
did statement of the life of man
whose generosity was source o.
untold benefit to literally thousands
Of human beings. 1t is likewise an
excellent historical review of an
important period in the growth o.
the American nation.
julius RosenWald Wes one OF the
inest examples, OF capitalism. Th'
lose Of his life practically marE-
ing the end Of the period of Amer
lean history when large indivldua
fortunes were being amassed. The
large corporation which was po-
tent form of business organization
during his day almost completely
dominates large scale business en-
terprise at the present time.
FLAVOR OF REALITY ADMIRED
We admire this book for It's
flavor of reality. 1t reveals Rosen-
valid as an astute business man
honest to the core and offering to
his employees profit sharing oppor-
tunities, but refusing to pay more
in wages than the prevailing scale
business enterprise at the present
time.
We admire him both as a man
who refused to have his name as
sociated prominently with hls
charities for the sake OF Selt-ag-
grandizement and as a man VINO
refused to ascribe his good fof"
tune and money making procllW-
ties to unusual intellectual abln-'
ties. He was typical of the group
of philanthropistS who regarocu
their wealth as a. sacred trust aild
the needs of mankind as an oppor-
tunitv to deliver themselves OF the
same.
Rosenwald possessed the rare
quality of impulsive generosity
along with an intuitive sense OF
worth of the projects to which ne
administered 1t was to his creol'
and to the benefit of the projects
which he aided that he always
sought to have his gifts-regaroleS'
of their size-serve as means O.
stimulating generosity on the par
Of others. He seemed to choos
with peculiar frequency the neg
lected areas of human need. 1t wa
also characteristic of his givln
that once the worth of projects !!
which he was interested becam
established his aid was withdrawn
The wisdom of this procedure il
amply supported in the fact tina
many of the projects which 1T
aided have been continued at pub
lie expense.

MajorLouett Says Ninth,

WASHINGTON (ANP) Brand
t0g as pure rumor any story that
the famous 369th infantry of New
York City or any other national
suard unit for that matter would
augment the defense units in the
Canal Zone at Panama, Major
Ralph A. Lovett Of the U. S. army
declared that only such organiza-
lions as were in the regular army
would be called upon to perform
such duties.
Discussing the reorganization OF
cavalry regiments according to the
new program adopted by the U. S
amy, Major Lovett said the 9th

will be no increase in the personnel
IF these two units.
30 NEGRO DOCTORS IN
ARMY
When questioned as to the pres
ence Of Negro doctors in the regu-
lar army, Major Lovett said there
were none as far as he knew. How
ever, he promised to look into the
situation and give q statement

hem and I know they are real
soldiers. If there is any doubt
about their ability, Just get them

find out just what they stand
for"
lDMITS UNFANIILIARTY
Having no information on the
Jtner units of Negro troops in the
regular army, Major Lovett said
Ae was not familiar enough with
them TO discuss their various
Dhases. However, he was loud IN
praise of his old regiment, the
t4th, and said he was almost will
ING to measure them against any
1ther outfit in the service.
In discussing the Thomas act of
a few years back, Major Lovett
said this act precluded any Negro
or any other officers in the medical
detachment OF the army because
the exams were open for competi-
ton for the rank of second lieu
tenant. Some 1000 of these were
appointed with the majority of
them going to the combat units

HAD FAITH IN FUTURE


His pronouncemerIt on the per
petuity of endowments is regarded
as contribution of greater value
than all of his charities. II was his
expressed opinion that the esta'-
lishment of restricted endowment;
in perpetuity was an unWise pro-
cedure. He based his argument on
the fact that a rapidly changing
social order frequently rendered
hard and fast Stipulations Obsolete
and therefore wasteful. He also mad
unfailing confidence in the abill-
ty and desire Of succeeding gene
rations to look after their pecu-
liar needs. The author of this
biography wisely points out that
present world choas amply proves
the wisdom of portion of this
philosophy. There is reason to b.
live that a growing social consc.-
BUSINESS will justify the remainder
A more generous understanding
Of RosenWald's great humanitarian
philosophy can be CLEANED from
the description of his attitude or
Jewish charities in the face CT
heartbreaking tragedies involving
his people. His refusal to support
zionism as movement for the
establishment of a Jewish home
land as compared with integratlng
Jews within their respective coun-
tries should find responsive note
with Negroes who have resisted the
Garvey movement and other de-
portation schemes as unwise. In
similar way Rosenwald refused to
help Jews alone within nation
when many non-JeWs within tie
same nation were likewise in dis
tress. The obvious result OF such
an attitude was to stamp him as
a great humanitarian above the
limits of race.

GAINED MASTERY OF MALAYs

(From Log OF U. S. Marines)
Dense tropical foliage lined the
shores of Quallah Battoo, Sumatra,
masking the outlines of odd native
structures, which stood like gigan-
tic beehives on stills and were en-
closed by stout stockades.
Defiant Malays, who had robbed
the American ship Friendship and
murdered some of her crew, stood
ready to resist the advance of I. S.
marines and bluejAckets who had
come to exact redress from the pi-
rates and TO demand the future Sc.
curity of ships IN those waters.
1t was in 1882, before the days Of
telegraph and radio, and full year
after the outrage, when the warstiip
Potomac cast anchor off the shores
of Sumatra with the purpose OF
bringing the laundering rajah and
his savage henchmen to terms. The
Malays had no intention OF obeying
the American demands.
In the early morning a landing
party from the warship was rowed
ashore. Dividing their forces into
three parties, one of the groups at.
tackled the first fortress, blowing up
the stockade gate and meeting the
foe in hand hand conflict, the
Malays fighting to the death. Else

Finds He Slept for Two

TOLEDO, OHIO.-Police here in
vestigated the story of 53-year-old
man who said that he had slept in
bed with a friend for two nights
without knowing that the man was
dead.
The first night he noticed nothing
unusual, he related, and when he
came home and went to bed the
second night, he still thought moth
ing was amiss although his friend
had not moved.
At the end of the second day, he
tried to awaken the sleeping" man.
He failed, and called police to whom
he told his story.

Dr.. jekyIl and Mr.. Hyde

You remember Robert Louis Ste
venson's dual-personality story about
the kindly DR.. .Iekyll and the de-
mon Mr.. Hyde. When tie kindly
doctor drank a mysterious formula
of his connection, he was trans
formed into a hideous cruel Mr..
Hyde.
Many motorists are dual-person-
clities-the Kindly Pedestrian and
the Hoggish Motorist. When they
are afoo,, they are courteous. They
do not elbow their way through the
crowd. they do not tread ruthlessly
on the toes of those who get in their
way. They do not push others off
the sidewalk. They do not crowd in
ahead of others in the line at the
ticket Office. They are often heard
to say, Thank you. please and
Il beg your pardon. -
But when these dual. personalities
step into their cars, they are trans
formed! They become road hogs.
They speed through school zines.
They pass on hills and curves. They
squeeze into line where they dom
belong. They force other cars to
slow up-and often to get off the
road. Pedestrians must jump or
die! Courtesy is a word unknown.
What mysterious power does car
have to thus transform a man?-Ex-
change.

Dartmouth Claims Hottest Cager;
 It's Broberg
Consider Broberg Finest Prospect in Green
 History
By JERRY BRONDFIELD NEA Service Shorts Writer

New York, Feb. Sits a strange echo which bounces back from the New Hampshire hills these days. You shout: Who's the best basket ball player in New England?" and the answer returns:
 Gus Broberg-haven't you heard?"
 To seek any other answer around Hanover, at least-is to court something akin to disaster, be- cause Dartmouth cage fans get more ecstatic about Gustave (Swede) Broberg every time they see him in action.
 Nor are they completely out of bounds in their enthusiasm, because this six-foot, 200-pound forward is the hottest thing to hit the Eastern Collegiate League in years.
 Broberg, @ Torrington, Conn, pro- duct, although only sophomore, probably is the finest all-round eager the Big Green has ever had. Many hoopsters are great shots, but poor defensive players. Or great shots and mediocre floor men. Bro- berg is first and last dangerous scoring threat, but he also is a canny defensive player and a smooth ball-handler.
