Plan of Cooperation Between the White and
Colored People in Republican Politics.


We make the following recommendations in an
effort to ~recapture the colored vote OF the country
for Republican Party.
L. Set up organizations in every precinct in ev-
ery community where colored men and women are
allowed to vote. :.
2. Utilize the colored weekly newspapers thru
out the country in a campaign to educate both the
white and colored voters in the communities as to
their responsibilities and duties in the furtherance
of Republican effort.
3. Select Well-qualfied colored speakers who
should be sent throughout the country to address
large and small meetings in furtherance of the edu-
cation of the colored voters.
a. AS a necessary prerequisite to these efforts,
State and County Chairmen and National Commit
teemen should work in close cooperation at all times
with the State Directors and the local colored comm
itteemen and where the Negro population ~justifies
it, white men and women in control Of the organic
alton should see to it that colored men or women are
elected to membership of the State Republican COM
mittees, district committees and county committees.
5. There should be frequent conferences be-
tween the Republican National committeeman, Rep
ublican State Chairmen and the Directors OF the col
ored divisions in the various States and detailed
plans should be worked out and carried out through
which the pryper approach should be made to the col
OIO OOC LII L AN Az AbA1NN SAOHA
Republican Party.
6. Most important of all, the approach to the
Negro should be economic rather than political
Therefore, industrialists and other employers of la
Dor should see to it that more and better economic
opportunities are provided for colored workers. One
of the compelling reasons for the desertion by the
Negro of the Republican Party was due to the IN
ducements offered and given by the Democratic
Party through the New Deal setups such as PWA,
WPA, and, to some extent, AAA, CCC, and NYA and
meanwhile, the Republican Party and its supporters
composed of many large employers of labor, failed to
offer anything to the colored voters to offset what
the New Deal did in furtherance of the economic
well-being of the Negroes.
7. In conferences of Republican leaders in this
and other States, care should be taken to see that
colored representatives are invited to attend and
participate in the proceedings.

MesserschmiH's Cannon
Fires 900 Rounds a Minute
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. Aug. 16.-The magazine
"Aeroplane' said today the main
armament of the new German Mes
serschmitt 109F is Mauser cannon
which fires 900 rounds a minute. and
then remarked that Britains new
Hurricane and Spitfires are armed
not with a single cannon but with
a multitude of cannon"
I'VE believe that the muzzle velo-
city substantially exceeds that of
the newest German type" the
magazine said. The Spitfres and
Hurricanes of today are even more
declslvely superior to the Messersch-
mltt 109F than the Hurricane l and
the Spitfire l were to the earlier
Messerschmitts a year ago."
The German cannon was described
as the first of its kind produced by
the Mauser Company, well known
for its small arms.
According to "Aeroplane, the
cannon is fired through the propeller
hub and is manufactured in calibres
OF Is nm. (591 inches) and 20 nm
c78 inches, and has a fire rate of
about ten times that of earlier Ger
man cannon of the same size. The
ammunition feed is a belt which
moves through long duct, and
"Aeroplane" said this is "a likely
source Of trouble"
The amount of ammunition car
rled by the Messerschmitts permits
only 13 seconds of fire The plane
also has two slow-firing machine
guns.

from Washington, arriving at l am.

newsreel editors to the cutting room
where he acted as a censor. The
editors found only 200 feet out of

In London. the British Ministry
OF Information was reported to be
disturbed by the fact that the films

States before showing in Great
Britain. Pictures were taken by two
still and two motion picture photog-
raphers, all British, assigned by the
ministry.
The ministry planned TO have the
films flown back to England and
then released simultaneously in the
United States and Britain. Instead
the films were flown directly to
Washington.

group which sang and acted with
finesse and freedom. Both Miss
Sherman and Miss Dickson have
voices of fine quality which added
to the performance as a whole.
Onofrei in Fine Voice.
Dimitri Onofrei in the role of Don
Jose was in splendid voice. His
acting was enlivened by emotion
which made his scenes with Micaela
and Carmen true to life. His chief
solo, La f1eur que tu m'avais dom
nee" brought forth prolonged ap-
plause.
Charlotte Symons, soprano, in her
debut here last evening as Micaela,
exhibited a lyric voice of consider
able volume and clarity. She was
very charming in her duet with Jose
and later made an excellent impress
sion in her aria. The ESarmillo of
Mario Vale was instinct with the
proud assurance of one who believes
himself invincible. His "Toreador'
song went over forcefully. Harold
Kravitt, as the pompous captain of
the guards, Francis Scott as the
brigadier, Lydia Arlova and Lucien
Prideaux, dancers. and the San
Carlo Opera Ballet helped to make
the ensemble complete and most
enjoyable.

Glade Dynamic, Yet Subtle.
There always will be as many
different conceptions of the role as
there are prima donnas. Some in
terpreters may be laughter or more
impaSsive, but none subtler or more
dynamic than Miss Glade. She at
tracts by clever mimicry, alluring
gestures, a lift of the eyebrow, a
tilt of the head, a shrug of the
shoulder. Her methods are direct
and breathtaking at times. She is
a magnificent dancer, looks the part
and arouses admiration.
Vocally, Miss Glade can be placed
among the best-schooled Carmens
of the day. Her voice is rich, ample
and sufficiently flexible to insure ef-
feet. Her "Habanera," her musings,
her insinuations spoke of individu-
ality as well as of talent.

D. {. 10 Establish
Special School for
Police Detectives
Copt. CoIIohon to Head
New Courses on Modern
Methods in CriminoIoqy

Plans are under way today for the
establishment of special school
for detectives, Inspector Edward j.
Kelly. acting superintendent of the
Metropolitan Police Department., re-
vealed yesterday. There will be
lectures and demonstrations on all
phases of modern crime detection.
Capt. Harvey Callahan, graduate
OF the Federal Bureau of InveStiga-
ton Academy for Police, will head
the new organization. The local
police expect to present lectures by
our own crime specialists, by experts
from the Federal Bureau of InveSti-
cation and by outstanding crimin-
ologists from police departments in
other cities"
Inspector Kelly added that the
classes would be attended by men,
bers of the uniformed force who
show aptitude.
In this way I propose to create
a reserve force of potential detec-
tives from which to make promo
tions to the detective staff as va
cancies occur" he declared.
Expected to begin within 10 days,
the training courses are for the
creation of a detective bureau in
which every member is qualified to
give the citizens of the District of
Columbia modern, scientific and ef-
fective detective service"
1t was added that it was hoped
that the benefits of the school would
ultimately include every command
ing officer in the department"
In addition, it was announced
that refresher courses would be held
for mutual discussion of police
problems and detective work.
While few short training courses
have been offered to detectives from
time to time, there has been no
permanent arrangement for their
instruction. The only such perma-
nent school maintained by the de-
partment has been one to prepare
prospective rookie policemen in the
elementary techniques Of law en-
forcement.

A real Saturday night throng
