Bishop R. R. Wright, Jr., Phi, d,
acting president Of Wilberforce
University, Ohio.
The long, much strained situa-
ton at Wilberforce university was
relieved by the selection of Bishop
R. r. Wright, Jr., as acting presi-
dent. For the first time in Will
berforce history both the state de-
partment and the church depart
ment united in the naming of the
president. The motion to elect
Bishop Wright was made by Rev.
Charles T. Isom, Baptist minister
and state trustee, seconded by Bis
hop D. H. Sims, vice president of
the University board.
Bishop Wright was president of
Wilberforce from 1882 to 1886,
during which time the university
made great progress toward uni
fication. He was elected unanim-
ously. He will serve n year
while the boord continues to look
for a permanent president.
II was not a candidate, stat
ed Bishop Wright, "and do not
see how I can continue as presi-
dent, but I trust to be able to
smooth out the kinks and set the
stage on a unified basis for the
next man.. The registrar of Will

applications are coming in rapid

CARNATIONS purporting to attempt
to aid the colored people in their
fight for recognition. Aiding Mr..
Traver in his inquisition and putt
ng in effective work to assist was
Frank B. Keefe, a Republican
from Wisconsin.
The concluding remarks in the
general survey made are believed
to have spanked the bitterness at
the hearing, for it was seized up
on by the Georgian to make his
attacks:
"Such an organization by def
inition precludes S ubdivision of
activities on illegal bases for de-
DECENTRALIZATION now in existence
at the center. In order to achieve
proper and necessary flexibility
Of the staff, proper service to APP
plicants and employers, supervis-
ion and control of the work in the

Traver then questioned Altmey-
er, the head Of the Social Security
board.

said, "and at the beginning Of the

vision Of white personnel by col

ons being required or being asked
to be interviewed by colored per-

"What about mixing them all
up in the same work room?" Mr..
Traver then asked.

TRADE:
ut seems to me the whole pur-
pose of this plan, insofar as I
have been able to ascertain it, is
to do away with racial distinction
in the District Of Columbia En-

vanced touching on the advisable
ity from an economic standpoint
Of efficiency are apparently mere
window dressing. The thing that
is in the mind of the man who APP

whole troublesome matter is the
abolition of racial distinction. He
did not ever know what functions
are carried on in the three offices

SHOOTING AND TRIAL OF
MILITARY POLICE INVOLVED

New York-Fearing that the

ASK WAR DEPT. TO TRY

In a long telegram to Secretary
Stimson, the NAACP declared that
the Fort Bragg shooting demands
more than the traditional, custom
airy action Of the War Department
and urged that all responsible Of
ficers there, from camp command
ant down to all military police in

following it, be called up for trial.
The NAACP cited the stories in

bout the affair.
The NAACP stated that the
board Of inquiry should include at
least one Negro officer. 1t was
urged that publicity be given the
proceedings and results Of the in
quiry SO that the public will know
the facts.
The telegram concluded by stat

Negro soldiers in uniform in the
South, then the army should re-
move these troops to other areas
where their rights cal be protect

Among weaknesses still OCCASION

Mr. SaraZan declared that lying

BY GAYLE TALBOT,


MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 1.-THE
horse owners at Hialeah Park
are falling over themselves these
days hiring little Conn McCreary
to ride for them before he loses
his 5-pound apprentice allow
ance, which probably will be
within another week.
Conn, q blue eyed mite of about
90 pounds, has been burning up
the track lately and the players
have begun to bet on him like
they did on Don Meade q couple
of winters ago. He had four win
ners last Tuesday, came back on
Wednesday with two more and
rode a triple yesterday. Horse
men like Ben Jones say the 49,
year-old sensation has magic
hands"
Four years ago about now.
Conn says, he was walking down
a lonely road a few miles out of
Lexington, KY searching for
something that resembled horse
farm. A few days before he had
left his home in st. Louis rather
than return to school and he had
spent his last nickel for q cup Of
coffee.
A man in a car saw the young
ster strolling along with his
cardboard suitcase and pulled
up. He was Steve Judge, we'll
known trainer.
Where you going. sonny?"
"I don't know, mister" Nc
Creary replied. Il want to be a
jockey"
Judge loaded the kid into his
car and pretty soon they stopped
