Mrs. Dunbar to Return Tuesday;
Pioneer Contest Progresses
BY FRANCES LIDE,
Women's Club Editor.

The president Of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs,
Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, is ex-
pected to return early this week
from the good neighbor tour"
which took about Is clubwomen
to the Latin American Republics
this summer. The cruise was
sponsored jointly by the Pam
American Union and the Inter-
national Relations Department
of the Federation.
Mrs. Dunbar's staff at head
quarters here has been notified
that the S. S. Uruguay, on which
the party is returning, will dock
in New York Tuesday.
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley also ac-
companied the group of women.
October Is Deadline
For Pioneer Clubwomen."
october has been set as the
deadline for selection of pioneer
clubwomen" from the local or
carnations afhhated with the
General Federation Mrs. John w.
Frizzell, the State chairman for
the District, said this week.
Mrs. Frizzell declared that only
one or two organizations have
made their choices known to date
and that she expects the research
involved in some of the selections
will require the rest Of the sum-
mer.
The General Federation, as
one of its golden jubilee features,
will name outstanding women in
three classifications as the "pio-
neers" of the federated club
movement.
The final selections will be
made from choices by the States
which must be forwarded to the
national chairman not later than
January l. Mrs. Frizzell expects
to appoint q committee of five,
on which she will be included, to
select the District Federation
pioneers" from those named by
the local clubs. Only II of the
80 clubs in the District Fedora
tion are directly affiliated with
the General Federation and
therefore eligible to, enter the
contest.
Keen Interest
Shown in Contest.
Mrs. FrizZell admitted that the
responsibility of naming the pio-
neers from the District is a heavy
one, but she expects that the
committee will be able to dis
charge it without Ill will. There

STEPS TO CONSERCE RAIN
FALL OUTLINED

Steps that may be taken to conserve
rainfall in Minnesota are suggested In
new bulletin just issued by the Wat
er Resources Committee of the Min
nesota Resources Commission.
The committee, headed by Adolph
Meyer of Minneapolis, traces in this
report the sources and disposition OF
the annual rainfall of about Is inches
which Minnesota receives. Pointing
out that much of this rainfall runs off
into streams that carry water out OF
the state, the report cites measures that
can be utilized to check this loss
"The government has shown that by
cultivating around the hill instead OF
up and down hill, the loss of soil and
water can be greatly reduced" the re-
port says. "At Clarinda, Ia, for ex-
ample, a field of corn planted up and
down hill lost 10 per cent of the rain
fall during a three-year period, and AZ
tons of soil per acre. A similar field o
corn with rows around the hill, or or
the contour lost only one-tenth OF on'
per cent of the rainfall and none of th'
soil. We can do just as well in Min
nesota." :
Copies of the bulletin may be OBJ
tained from the Minnesota Resource
Commission in ST. Paul.

WHY I WOULD NOT STAND
FOR REELECTION FOR PRESI-
DENT OF THE NATION NEGRO
CONGRESS
BY A. Philip Randolph

/ am convinced hat the Third Ma
tional Negro Congress has not sue
ceeded in removing from the mind of
the public the idea that the charge
of the Dies Committee, that the Ma
tional Negro Congress is Commun-
ist Front, and a Transmission Belt
for Communist propaganda, is not true.
In fact, the Congress has brilliantly
succeeded in giving the charge every
appearance of truth and validity.
I am convinced, also, that until the
stigma of the Communist Front is
wiped from the Congress, it will never
rally the masses of the Negro people.
The procedure, conduct and policies
of the Negro Congress, as set up in
this third national meeting, will make
its influence in the affairs of the Amer
ican Negroes, short lived. The Amer
lean Negroes will not long follow any
organization which accepts dictation
and control from the Communist Par
ty. The American Negro will not long
follow any organization which accepts
dictation and control from any white
organization.
In the last national Executive Com
mittee meeting in New York City,
Brother John P. Davis was authorized
to 60 out and borrow $1,000 to help
put the Third Congress over. He in
formed me that he had borrowed il

was given no specific identity of the
man. What was the source of this
money? The Delegates to the Con-
gress should know. Because what
ever is the source of the money with
which the Congress is run, will also
be the source of its ideas, policies and
control.
In an Executive meeting in New
York City, Mr.. Davis informed it that
the Communist Party contributed $l0t
month to the Congress. Is this the
reason why the Congress refuses tc
attempt to make plain to the American
people that it is not a Communists
Front? These questions should be def
initely and unequivocally answered.
