Dallas have increased steadily

these families bought property
from white property owners in

The already strained relations be-
tween the races, which developed
following the erection of new Ne

heightened by white neighbocs who
sought to keep the Negro families
from occupying the homes they
had recently purchased. City

Catholics
May Buy
billiard
No Endowment
Funds Put
School In Red
By LEON LEWIS

NEW ORLEANS, (ANP)
-Dillard university, which
was formed by a merger of
New Orleans university and
Straight college several
years ago, may be forced to
go into the hands of Catho-
lies, according to ihforma-
ton from authenticated
sources. The potential buyer
of billiard is the Holy Ghost
school here, Catholic in
stitution.
For several months the billiard
alumni have been puzzled as to
the future of the school under its
present conglonlerated spectra,
since the mysterious resignation
OF DR.. William Stuart Nelson, who
Is now dean Of religion at Howard
University.
SALE is DENIED
Although DR.. Nelson left billiard.
presumably in good spirit, it is gen.
orally known that inner dissention
was the reason for his leaving.
Other things that might have
contributed to the resignation OF
DR.. Nelson are given by public dis
cussion of billiard as being a local
hot-bed for Communistic activity.
Several of the faculty members are
allegedly staunch supporters of the
Communist party.
The fact that the school may fall
into the hands of Catholic inter
ests was substantiated from official
Catholic circles here. Officials OF
the school deny that it is for sale
but endowment support may force
the consideration of Catholic bid
ders. Disagreement as to who shall
be president of the school follow
ing DR.. Nelson's resignation is the
reason for DR.. Moses, former Dean,
being retained as acting president.
DENT TO HOUSTON
Articles in several Texas news
papers announce that A. w. Dent,
business manager of Dillard, is be-
ing groomed for a position in the
Houston hospital. Dent, besides his
billiard copnection, is superinten-
dent of Flint -Goodridge hospital
here. His removal from here, it is
thought, will be a great blow to
both billiard and the Flint-Good-
ridge hospital.

Adolph Hitler's pet theory
of the racial superiority of
the Nordic, classed by Hitler
as the leader of the three

race.
DR.. Robert H. LOWE, anthropolo-

ed:
ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSE
Historical accidents such as
migrations of peoples probably
cause the difference between higher
civilizations and backward peo-
pies. The opportunity for the
exchange Of ideas is a large facto"
in the development of culture. Even
in a people which has remained
fairly pure, such as the Polyne-
slams, the culture changes rapidly
"The same people who make up
the modern European nations were
considered barbarians by the Rom
ans in the time of Caesar-bar-
barians wholly incapable of higher
civilization.

sible to study here a successive an

explained:
"These waves of immigration and
dislike have not, basicaly been
caused by economics. Wages, hours
and efficiency have served rather
as particular marks against which

Mixup in Overtime Pay
Halls Work al Ship Yard

BY the Associated Press.
TAMPA, Fla, May 9.-Some 1900
workers at the yards of the Tampa
Shipbuilding and Engineering Co.
were idle today as the result Of q
mixup over payment for overtime
work on Saturday.
The workers are members of 13
American Federation of Labor
unions.
Union officials and company rep
resentattves, meanwhile, sought to
adjust the work week schedule,
which has been complicated by the
wage-hour law.
The plant is constructing eight CO
type cargo ships for the United
States Maritime Commission.
Phillip B. Brill, general manager
of the shipbuilding company, de-
clared the dispute began when the
men were asked to move a ship Sat-
urday from the Quitting wharf to
the drydocks. and the men de-
manded double pay for overtime.
The company, Mr.. Brill explained,
had a 44-hour work-week agreement
with the men but had been operat-
ing on a 40-hour week with no Sat-
urday work. He said an offer was
made to pay overtime after A hours
when Saturday work was required,
but the men refused to work at all
Saturday on overtime pay.
Chairman E. v. Porter of a union
committee said there was no strike
or walkout and the men were acting
on their own initiative.

Inspectors Shorp Eye Identifies
Two Woman Shop|ifters

The Patterson sisters, who are to
the shoplifting trade what Napo-
leon Is to the warriors or Miss Am r.
lea Is to the beauties, were guests
today Of the Washington police,
and quite by chance.
It was the sharp eye Of Inspector
Bernard w. Thompson that revealed
the distinguished pair and saved
them from the ignominity Of clas-
sification as the Doe girls.
The Patterson sisters are not sis
ters at all, and their name is not
Patterson. They are merely two
women, believed to be mother and
daughter, who are known as the
slickest shoplifters in the trade.
They were arrested first in 1926
and their police records since take
note of sojourns in some of our best
bastiles. They went into durance
vile here In 1895, and were released
to Philadelphia police after veri-
table blizzard of warrants had come
to local authorities from detectives
In other cities.
Yesterday a squad Of detectives
set up lookout at downtown
hotel, on the request of Baltimore
police, for q pair of shoplifters who
had created some havoc in the
Monumental City. The detectives
arrested the two women and took
them to headquarters.
The women were taciturn, to say
the least, and the detectives were in
the process Of listing them on the
books as Jane and Helen Doe when
Inspector Thompson sauntered in.

Association Fights
Interstate Trucks in

Michigan Park Unit
Expects to Appeal
ToI. c. c.

A real war" against operators Of
interstate commerce trucking firms
whose drivers deviate from WASH
ington's regular truck routes for
shortcuts through residential areas
was proclaimed last night by the
Michigan Park Citizens Association.
Voting to make the issue city-wide
in scope by placing it before the
Federation in form Of protest, the
association demanded more adequate
regulations by both the District and
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion for governing the activities Of
commercial vehicles passing through
the National Capital.
Tells Of Regulations.
1t. John r: Jenries of No. IL
police precinct, questioned by
member on District laws regarding
interstate commerce trucks, stated
that present regulations compel
trucks entering the city on Routes
l, so or 240 to follow well-defined
streets on their way through the
city. If they deviate. he said, the
Metropolitan police are empowered
to act. If, however, they enter by
any Of the numerous small roads
leading to Washington, the police
cannot be sustained in an arrest
'"The regulations permit deliveries
at warehouses or establishments in
points throughout the city if COM
missioned to do so," 1t. Jeffries ex-
planned. present laws protect the
citizen in a very small degree. I
would advise any group desirous of
remaking the regulations to place
the matter before the I. c. c."
Terms Surprise Members.
John J. Hurley, president OF the
association, said the matter had
been brought to his attention by
numerous residents of the Michigan
Park section who had complained
of "laxity on the part of police and
officials" in not compelling trucks to
remain on their designated routes
while passing through the city. The
limited scope of the present laws
surprised members.
Mr.. Hurley said the association
would take action at once through
the Federation and with the I. c. c.
to make the law more potent.
The association does not meet
again until October, but Mr.. Hurley
said the Executive Committee would
meet during the summer to care for
any pressing problems which might
arise.
