Greek Letter Societies
Discuss Negroes Problems
At Kansas City COnclaves

can democratic ideals, pointed out
the flaws in our democratic system
and gave suggestions for their
remedy.
Contributions were made by all
three groups to national organiza-
tons carrying on programs for the
advancement Of Negro people.
Here From 40 States
Contests over elective Offices,
teas, receptions, parties and
dances, while in evidence aplenty,
took second place in the minds Of
the delegates and visitors who as
sembled here from 40 states in the
union.
No longer mere social organiza-
tons which exist to promote good
fellowship among their members,
Greek letter organizations-at
least the three which have met in
Kansas City this week-have as
sumed the responsibility of making
the problems Of the mass of Ne
groes their problems. They have
endorsed the idea of service to the
man farthest down in order to Sc
cure the position of the man high
est up. ....
AS a major project, Kappa AL
pha Psi sponsors the "Guide
Right" movement through which
boys are directed into the training
and work channels for which they
are best suited.
Alphas Teach Citizenship
The Alphas conduct a Citizen
ship drive in which they teach
Two-Newman CAS-
young people how to exercise their
rights as citizens. Recent emphasis
has been placed upon how to vote.
Instructions on voting are being
given to the youth in the South so
that they will be prepared to cast
their ballots intelligently when
polling places are opened to the
disfranchised millions of Negroes
as opened they eventually must
be.
The Alpha Kappa Alphas point
with pride to the two national
projects which it sponsors for the
uplift of the Negro race.
The oldest Of these, the Missi-
sippi health project, has been I'M
dertaken for seven years and
through these women who sacrifice
their time and money during the
month of July, the health of the
Negro people in two counties in the
Mississippi Delta has been i'm
proved to such an extent that the
government and the national press
have taken cognizance of the work
they are doing.
Two years ago, Alpha Kappa Al
pha established a non-partisan lob
by on public affairs which main
tains a lobbyist in Washington to
observe and inform the sorority on
Legislation which affects the lives
of Negro people.
Purposes of Lobby
The lobby has a two-fold pur-
pose: to see that the rights of
Negroes are safeguarded in all
Legislation passed by congress and
second, to see that the laws work
for the Negro after they are put
upon the statute books.
At the Kansas City conventions,
the Alpha and Kappa fraternities
were invited by Alpha Kappa AL
pha to participate in the non-par-
tisan lobby with a view to making
the lobby an inter-Greek letter or
ganizational affair.
It is maintained that the Negro
cannot fight his battles on too
many fronts. We need a watchdog
at every corner. What one doesn't
| catch. the other will.

General, Injects Race Issue
in Attempt to Harm Rockwell

present at a party in the commits
sioner's home. Apparently attempt
ing to connect the presence of col
ored people at the party with al
legged communistic interests, the
assistant attorney general hastily
changed his line of questioning
when Mr.. Rockwell replied that:
81 do not draw the color line;
we employ Negroes and Indians in
the Department of Education and
/ am proud of it. AS a state Of
fetal you should be ashamed of
yourself if you imply that we
should draw a color line" The
audience applauded loudly at this
singing rebuke.
Evans Reported Ill
An effort on the part of Spokes-
man reporter to reach Mr.. Evans
for an explanatory statement
proved useless. The assistant was
said to be out of his office because
of illness.
Since Evans was in a conference
with Governor Harold E. Stassen
before the hearing, the Governors
office was asked whether it had
given approval to Mr.. Evans ques-
ton. Lester Badger, secretary to
the Governor, denied that his office
knew anything about the line of
questioning Evans would take. He
stated that a wire had been sent
to Walter White, executive secre-
tary of the N. A. A. C. p, on the
matter.

 Henry Koch, former Crosby and Connecticut University student was good for IS points to lead the in- dividual scoring of both teams, with eight field goals in his favor. Babe Leece added four field goals for eight points to the Baldwin tally. The Damelio brothers accounted for B of the Loew-Poli points no one else scoring more than one field goal. The win gave the Props 8 one game lead, which, if 1t is held until the finish of the round, will result in Q playoff with the Poll array, winners of the first round title. Summary:

MIDLAND, WITH PORTER'S CAP,
 RATED STRONG
Classy Field in SlOO,OOO Race Today; Rain to
 Spoil Expected Crowd
BY JACK GUENTHER (UnIted Press Stan COrrespOndent

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Arcadia, Cal, March 1-(UP)-- They're of today in the seventh running of the $l00,000 Santa Anita Handicap, and again it's the old story-Lucky Charley Howard versus the field.
 Where once they were carried by Seabiscuit and Kayak II, today the red and white Howard colors were draped around couple of colts named Midland and Porter's Cap. On the morning line the odds were even that one of them would come loping home in front and stretch his owners golden chain of handicap triumphs to three in @ row.
 There were IS other contenders in this richest race in the world and some were the best thoroughbreds in training. There were, for in- stance, w. L. Branns Challedon, Myron Selznick's Can't Wait, W. B. Simpsons GenI Manager, Valdina Farms Viscounty, H. 1T. Philpot's Woof Wool and H. 0. Hills Sweepi- da. Yet the average fan hardly even knew 1t.
 With the track so lashed by rain that 1t was little better than a rib- bon of mud, the issue was clean cut Tn the Howard team the bettor got two superior mudders for the price of one and even at the low price they looked like bargain, no mat ter If last-minute sun appeared to dissolve the threatening clouds. No Record Crowd
 The rain which has pelted the track almost every day for Q month, cut down the crowd from the 75,000 persons who had been expected and was certain to cut into the "handle". The down-pour started yesterday af- ternoon. Officials had planned for the largest crowd in western racing history.
 It also cut deeply into the chances of Challendon, handicap champ for two straight years. Hurried along in his condition, the son of Challenge IT was not at his peak. Now sixth among the money winners the Mary land invader needed only the $85 900 first prize of today's attraction to break over the $400,000 mark and take second position behind Seabis- cult.
 But the doubt about his condition boosted Challedon's price to 5-l.
 Back of the name horses were Wedding Gall. Hysterical, Royal Crusader, Beautiful II, Bay View. welcome Pass and Fairy Chant. Two more-Rough Pass and Bolingbroke were doubtful starters. The only advantage held by these outsiders was the terrific break in weights. Challedon, who drew the eighth stall and Jockey Georgie Woolf, was handed 130 pounds and Midland with No. l2 and Jockey Buddy Haas had 124.
 The others ranged all the way down to 100 flat. Porter's Cap had big overlay at 104 because he, like welcome Pass, is only three-year- old going against proven horses.
 The Golden Gallop was sixth op an eight-race card with post-time fixed for 4:30 p. m. t7:30 p. m. EST). With 17 starters. the net purse TOT the winner reached $9o,36o = with $750 subtracted for each scratch
