 TarzRns Secret Treasure" offerI new jungle thrills.
 Metro Goldwyn : Mayer celebates the 25th anniversary of the filming of the first "Tarzan" picture with tho release of "Tarzan's Secret Treasure" which opens Christmas Day on the Loew Poll screen with Johnny Weissmuller and Mauree Sullivan once again playing their established roles of Tarzan and his mate, and little Johnny Sheffield again cast as Boy" their adopted son, first introduced fin "TarZan Finds Q Son."
 The now-famous Tarzan jungle adventures were born at the idea of Edgar Rice Burroughs that a modern folklore could be built on the Romulus and Remus myth. Twenty-Five million Tarzan books have been sold, translated into fifty six languages. They founded an elaborate industry, including news paper comic strip, national radio broadcast, and the Tarzan motion pictures which, like the book, are rated as "best sellers"
 Motion pictures early recognized the Tarzan stories. Tn 1892 Irving c. Thalberg, then production head of Metro Goldwyn Mayer, decided that c Tarzan picture "a charac- ters talking and with all the wild animal sounds and jungle misses, would make an excellent adventure story. After considerable search for an athlete suitable for the character Johnny Weissmuller was tested and signed. So firmly has the Identity of Tarzan been wound about him since then that thousands of people ohink of him only as Tarzan,
 In "Tar2an's Secret Treasure the Jungle paradise is visited by q eafari, members of which discover gold in the area and plan to mine gor it. To do so they encompass Che death of the leader of the ex- pedltion (Reginald Owen), who sym pathizes with Tar2an's desire that his home be undisturbed. Tar2an Is shot and left for dead; Jane tMiss) Sullivan and Boy" (Johnry Shelf feld) are kidnapped, When they fall into the hands Of the savages Cheeta, the faithful ape finds Tar gan, and in e spectacular climax Tarzar leads his army of elephants to the rescue.
 The companion feature on this great program Is "The Devil Pays of" on exciting new drama with blue ribbon cast including William Wright, Margaret Talllchet, Osa MaSsen, ]. Edward Bromberg, and Selmer Jackson.
 The story deals with the efforts of a former lieutenant commander in the Navy who was discharged for playboy tendencies, to uncover on international plot to turn vessels of the United States over to ul1- friendly foreign powers.

A most interested attendant at the
money spending committee s~cssiur.
Monday Vas Representative Victo"
Bryant Of Durham. Mr.. Bryant is a
member Of the committee in good
and regular standing, but hasn't been
able to sit in on many Of its meet
ings. During the same hours he was
presiding Owe the finance commit
tee, trying to raise money as fast
as the other group could spend it.
He found this a very difficult job.
md he was present at this latest
session TO try to help spend a little
bit more Gin increased judges al
]loWances) but hoping that it
wouldn't be necessary for HIM to g.
back to the other room and reopen
some Of the tax schedules in order
to get needed money.
The dog house Grub" composed
of house members left out in the
cold when committee assignments
were announced at opening Of the
session, asked that dog food, bones
and flea POWDER be exempted from
the sales tax. They didn't get that.
But under a bill offered by Repre-
sentative Underwood last week, "
ers Of fox hounds in HEREFORD coun-
ty won't have to pay dog tax ca
,hem.
You can't tell what's IN 4 bill by
its title, and you can't tell Just how
far the constitutional guarantee o.
religious liberty will go in some di-
lections. Representative Galloway OF
Pennsylvania county has a bill in the
House hopper with the high sound
ing caption: ITO Safeguard and Pro
tect the Public Against the Acts OF
Certain irresponsible Persons" What
the bill seeks to do is to make if
against the law to handle or display
{, poisonous snake before an au-
dience, or helping to carry such a
snake into the hOme OF another per
son. 1t would subject to indictment
for murder any person who so han
died a snake which bit another per
son so that he died. Patiently the dill
is aimed at certain fanatical re-
ligiOus SectS, but is so WOrded that
ii cannot be called discriminatory.
About ninety per cent Of the bills
coming before legislative committees
come with the statement that this
bill has the approval Of the COVER
l.or." In many instances this IS {
slight stretching of the truth, to say
the least, for often it means Sllnpl}
tnat the governor didn't emrh"t
ally oppose the measure. John I'm
et,ad started one through the mil

Mo. Governor Stop
Police Brutality

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-To urge
remedies for the outbreak of po-
lice brutalities against Negroes
here, delegation, headed by Of
ficers of the local branch of the
NAACP, visited Missouri Govern
or, Forrest Donnell, Friday, Aug
ust %.
Public opinion here is aroused
over the latest case which involv-
ed the shooting in the back of a
Negro by police officer resulting
in the suspension of one and the
possible indictment of two others
for manslaughter.
At the request of the branch
the national office of the NAACP
sent a telegram to Governed Don
nell urging his sympathetic con-
sideration of the facts to be pre-
sented by the delegation and
pointing out that these abuses and
discrimination in defense indus
tries are causing unrest in the
state and the country.

L. Cooper Claims
Neg. Demos Snubbed

The principles of democracy are
not built upon narrow foundations.
Also, the sponsors of the meet
ing for leading democrat would
not have ignored the first colored
democratic organization of the
Pacific Northwest, and a member
who has been active in the party
longer than any other race man in
this section, if the spirit of Amer
icanism had prevailed.
1t is that a man travelled from
Washington to Seattle to speak
against discrimination, when the
very same committee did very bit
terly snub and di scr m n a e
against some of our best citizens.
Had it not been for the members
of the opposite party, the meeting
would not have been success.
Had the Mayor known it was to
be a discriminatory meeting he
would not have attended, and the
county clerk would not have sub
scribed to the fund. The public
would not have tolerated it.
May we henceforth divert our
efforts to channels more construc-
tive.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-From
the War Department the NAACP
learned last week that the signal
corps is recruiting civilians with
certain qualifications for second
lieutenants.
Applicants must have a college
degree in electrical engineering
with a speciality in radio commun-
ication or they must be electonic
physicists. They must be unmar-
ried, without dependents, between
81 and able to met the physical
requirements.
Applications should be made by
letter to the Chief of the Signal
Corps, Washington, d. c., giving
name, address, age, technical quail
ifications and experience.
The N A ACP is urging its
branches to circulate this inform
alton in their communities so that
qualified Negroes may apply.

Refuses Back Seat
Elected By Driver

NEW YORK-Because he re-
fused to give up his non-reserved
seat in the front of a Quaker City
bus to a white passenger, Charles
E d ward s, member of the New
York Youth Council No. 1 of the
NAACP, was forcibly elected by
the driver and a bus dispatcher at
the Quaker City terminal here
August Is. The driver has been ar
rested and trial set for Monday
August 25.
Edwards was returning on a
round-trip ticket to Camden, New
Jersey, where he is employed in a
shipyard. He had no reservation,
but he was informed by the ticket
agent, Is minutes before the bus
was to leave, that he could take
any available seat At about two
minutes before the bus was to pull
out, Edwards got on and took a
vacant seat near the front. I'M
mediately the driver told him to
move back, that white passenger
was entitled, to that seat. Edwards
protested that the seat was not
reserved and that he did not in
tend to move.
The driver told Edwards that he
would put him off the bus and fol-
lowed the statement by forcibly
ejecting him with the assistance of
the dispatcher. Edwards jacket
was torn and several passengers
demonstrated with the bus driver.
Edwards formal complaint for as
sault led to the arrest of the driv-
err.

a favorable interview.
The hurried departure of the de-

that pressing Seattle supper en-

NAACP Scores Fl. Bragg Failure To
Punish M.P.'s Who Insulted Soldiers

who had a hand in the roundup
disarming, and insulting of Ne
groes on the night of August 6,
have not been punished.
The NAACP stated that if such
drastic punishment can be mated
out to a soldier for not cleaning
his quarters and for splitting on
the floor" Fort Bragg authorities
should be made to explain their
failure to prosecute the soldiers,
who swore at, bullied, and inflicted
unnecessary indignities on fellow
soldiers and superior officers.
This is further evidence, said
the Association, that routine army
procedure is not satisfactory or
sufficient to deal with the condi-
tions arising from the conflict be-
tween colored soldiers and preju-
diced military and civil authorities
in the South.
