Parade Of Negro Talent
At Local Catholic Church

The Holy Rosary Church was the
scene of talented exhibition of some
of the best artists of the Negro race
in Minneapolis Wednesday, June 10Th.
Appearing before crowd estimated at
over five hundred persons, the superb
performers made history as they gave
forth with skill, reaching the acme of
perfection.
The programs success was due to
the efforts of part of the group
which sponsored the testimonial din
ner to Mr.. Bohanon. The idea was
born in spirit of appreciation for the
generosity of Father Kelly of Holy
Rosary church in the lending of his
kitchen aand dining room equipment
to insure the success of the Bohanon
venture. The most active members of
the group producing the parade of tai
ent were c. w. Washington, Attorney
Skinner, V. S. o. Harris, although the
audience was not informed about any
one except Mr.. Skinner who is a men,
Der of the church.
The program followed a smorgss-
bord dinner to which the cast was in
vited after their acts. The program

American u. Students Fight
To Halt Fellows Deportation
Assembly Called
To Get Names
On Petition

Students at American University,
who are practicing good neighbors,
went to bat today to save from de-
portation a South American student
who has become ensnared in Immi-
grafton Bureau red tape ss
They held an assembly this morn
ing at which petition was circu-
lated. calling for the Government
to withhold action in the case, and
made plans to picket the Immigra-
ton Bureau Wednesday.
The South American student on
whose behalf they are acting is
Maurice Posada. l8, a native of Co
lombia. He had lived with his fam
lily in London for the last II years
and started home during the sum-
mer.
His father was in Paris when the
NaZis moved in and has been held
there since. He came to New York
with his mother, being admitted on
a visitors visa.
The day before they were to leave
for Colombia he decided that he
would go to college here and entered
American University. He then ap-
piled for a students visa.
But two days ago, he says. he got
a letter from the immigration au-
thorities, informing him that he
would have to leave the country
Wednesday. The letter said that if
he wanted a students visa, he would
have to go out of the country, OBJ
tain the visa and then return.

Sity heard about the situation and

Mr.. Lawrence Replies

To the Editor OF The Star:
Mr.. Aubrey Williams has entered
what seems to me technical denial
which does not 60 to the substance
of what was set forth in my article
of Friday, November l.
Technically, it is true that the
S40,000,e00 slush fund allocated just
before election by the National
Youth Administration doesn't go to
apprentices" but to what might
be called "pre-apprentices." Let's
not quibble about a word and let's
accept Mr.. Williams definition, but
he cannot deny that the purpose OF
expanding the work experience
program in lines deemed vital to the
preparation for eventual national
defense industries and activities"
means the giving of training that
leads to apprenticeship in industry.
Technically, too, the regulations
do not provide for any age "restric-
tion" at 81. They start at the age
of 18, but the emphasis in the
selection of applicants has been
placed on the voting age of 81 and
over. This was done informally by
the N. Y. A. through oral instruc-
tions to inspectors, according to my
informants
Technically. too, the National De-
fense Advisory Commission and the
Bureau of the Budget recommended
the appropriation and the Congress
granted it, but does the N. Y. A.
deny that it helped to initiate the
plan and got White House backing
for it? This is more important than
to declare that it was recon-
mended" by other agencies of the
Government. And die the commit
tee of Congress or the other agencies

made their decisions at least two
months ago. In each of the past
two weeks per cent are reported
to have determined their choices.
The effects of the campaigning are
shown by the answers to the Ques-
ton: When did you reach a de-
cision?"
Decided for
Willkie Roosevelt.
More than four weeks
before october 18th 4559o 54.5%
Three to four weeks
before october 29th 581G 419%
Two to four weeks
before october 29th 648% 1920
One week before Oc-
tober 29th --- 51.0s 1907
President Roosevelt's favor was
running high over a month before
October 29th. The whirlwind Will
kie campaign then lined up large
blocks of the undecided voters. Ap-
proximately a week before october
20 the Roosevelt political campaign
began in earnest, and the two con-
tenders were breaking about even
on late decisions.

know the manner in which the N
Y. A. was going to use the fund just
before election?
Basis of Distribution.
Technically, too, the act as passed
prescribed that ratio of a States
youth population to the Nations
total youth population should be
used as a basis of distribution. But
isn't it fact that this benefits the
States of larger voting population
with the larger electoral votes? And
didn't the N. Y. A. try to have the
law written so that absolute dis
cretion would be in the hands of
the administrator of the N. Y. A.?
Technically, too, Mr.. Williams
writes that no expert recommended
any such plan" as was referred to
in my article. But what Is meant
by such plans? Does Mr.. William
mean to confine it to the technical
definition which he has given of
terms and official actions? If so,
then will Mr.. Williams deny that
the expert who has played a large
part in the evolution of this work
training program did resign? Why
did he resign and did he object to
the politics in the situation?
Mr.. Williams regrets that no in
quiry was made of his Office before
the articles was published. No in
quiry was made because it was as
sumed that no information bearing
on the really vital points of the
article would be forthcoming be-
cause a New Deal agency could
hardly be expected to put its worst
foot forward during political cam
paign. But now that the campaign
is over it would be desirable if the
N. Y. A. would take the public into
it's confidence on a few points be-
cause the idea of work training
itself as generally approved by Con-
gress is good one and should be
encouraged.
Four Questions Prop0unded.
Here are the questions:
l. What were the oral instruc-
tionS to the inspectors for the max
ing of selections? What proportion
were over 81 among the applicants
examined and selected and in what
States?
g. How many work shops did the
N. Y. A. say it had when it asked
Congress for the money? How many
are there now?
3. What .was the reason for the
increase from $6,000,000 to 0,000,-
900? Who suggested this increase?
4. What is the reason for the
discrepancy between the total num-
ber of workshops which Congress
was told was available and those
now available under the N. Y. A?
Wasn't Congress persuaded to grant
the s40,000,000 on the basis of the
figures of the N. Y. A. as to the
shops already available for training?
Let's have all the facts

The Stars opera appreciation
program is continuing to gain
further headway in colleges and
universities in widely scattered
communities throughout the coun-
try, a survey showed today.
Dozens of new requests for the II
operas being made available in
record form by The Star have been
received during the last few days
from music departments, students
and teachers.
In fact, the opera appreciation
program appears to be drawing a
greater response from educational
institutions outside of the Wash
ington area than did the highly
successful symphonic music ap-
probation campaign conducted by
The Star last year.
Requests have come from schools
in a large majority Of the States
and in almost every case the writer
said the records were wanted for
use IN musical studies In some
instances the president of the
school has written personally to
order a set of the recordings.
Requests From Coast.
The Rev. E. NJ Bacigalupi, S. j. F.,
director of music at the University
of Santa Clara, in Santa Clara,
Calf. wrote to request two complete
sets of the recordings-one for the
school and one for a friend who
is very much interested in opera"
Herbert T Norris, head of the
music department of State College
of Washington, at Pullman. said he
wanted a set of the albums for use
in our Carnegie Music Room" He
explained this room ''is designed to
accommodate those students and the
general public who wish to listen to
better music"
Similar requests have been re-
ceived from Lyle w. Moore. head of
the music department of GonZaga
University, at Spokane, Wash; James

Court Holds Receiver
Should Split Liability
OF Bank Stockholder
'Muny Valuable Assets OF
Seventh Street Savings
Remain, Tribunal Rules

In a decision which may be OF
far-reaching importance, the United
States Court of Appeals today held
that the receiver of the Seventh
Street Savings Bank, If possible,
should collect from a certain Stock
holder of the closed institution only
as much of a stock assessment as
could be determined by fair COM
putation Of the stockholders ultl-
mate liability"
The court based this on the fact
that the bank, in charge of Justus
S: Wardell, receiver, already had
paid out 95 per cent to depositors.
who number about $500. and
there still remained valuable as
sets" to be liquidated. There are
about 180 stockholders. The sum
disbursed on the basis of 95 per cent
amounts to more than 81 900 600.
In no other receivership in the
city, so far as could be recalled by
attorneys familiar with bank litiga-
tion, had a receiver ever been called
on to split the amount of assess
ment due from a stockholder. Either
the receiver tried TO collect it all,
100 per cent of the face value Of
stock held, or he could collect none.
In the case of the Park Savings
Bank the issues were far more COM
plicated, but not like the one in this
new case.
Stakeholder Held Liable.
The stockholder in the Seventh
Street case is Ida L. Bergling, who
was held liable by the Court of
Appeals for payment Of the assess
ment of $1,000 plus interest assessed
by the controller of the currency
in July, 1884.
The court, sustaining a District
Court finding, upheld the asses
ment, as authorized by the laws
of West Virginia, under which the
bank was chartered, but said:
"We must hold that liability for
immediate payment of an assess
ment precedes obligation of the
remaining assets of the insolvent
bank. Hence, the dividends paid
to creditors in the interim do not
affect appellants liability.
Valuable Assets Cited.
CAS- it now appears, 95 per cent
Of the principal Indebtedness has
been paid, and valuable assets re-
main unliquidated in the receivers
hands. We think it quite proper to
add that if a fair computation of
the stockholders ultimate liability
no TNaHn +0a
should in his discretion exact no
more in the settlement of this and
other judgments
These words apparently lay
heavy responsibility on the receiver,
according to experts familiar with
bank liquidation. The court did not
specify how the fair computation"
should be arrived at, whether it
should consider only 100 per cent
payment 20 depositors, or such 100
per cent on principal plus interest,
to depositors
The case went up to the Court Of
Appeals on a prior occasion when
that tribunal held that the receiver
was entitled to recover only upon a
showing that the debts for which
the assessment was made accrued
while the appellant was a stock
holder. The case was won by the
receiver.
Representing the receiver in the
case were Attorneys Brice Clagett
and Charles E. Wainwright. Hear
ing the case with Chief Justice
Groner were Associate Justices
Henry w. Edgerton and Fred M.
Vinson.
