progress of the race and a curse
to civilization"
Harten and Powell Battle
Broadcasted This Week
One of the Broadcasting Sta
tons on the Negro News referred
to DR.. Powells attack on the late
DR.. L. K. Williams and also the
Powell-Harten controversy relative
to same; and predicted that DR..
Harten would come our victor, as
his match is hard to find.
DR.. Harten's enemies as we'll as
his friends, often admit that he is
one of the most sincere and fear
less defenders of the race before
the public today. Some years ago,
after trip to the White House,
presenting the Negroes cause to
the President of the United tSates,
Dean Kelly Miller of Howard Uni
versity, told the writer that it was
the most courageous far-reaching
speeches that he had ever heard
a man make in defense of the
Negro.
There is no man of our group in
New York State who has the re-
spect of more Officials from the
Magistrate Court to the Cover
nor's Chamber, than DIR. Harten.
Whenever he speaks in New York
State, on any subject regardless to
weather conditions, standing room
is always at premium, and on
Sunday, December 10Th, when he
speaks three times at his own
church (Holy Trinity, in Brook
lyn, N, Y, the Church that he has
pastored for more than 10 years,
there will be capacity attendance
at the three services.
1t is known, by white and black
people, that Harten cannot be
bought, and is not an Uncle Tom"
but is a straight and sharpshoot-
er in defense of his race.
Powell has started this war,
and since he has attacked the lead
ership of the dead, who cannot an

have never been the aggressor in
any fight, and I have my first bat

Adam Powell has never demon
strated his ability in anything ex-
cept as a number one, egotistical,
windjammer and mud-slinger. The
Abyssinian Baptist Church was
built and paid for by his father.
Adam has never made a mouse
trap. Before he endeavors to de-
stroy the leadership of men and
women who have made lasting
contributions to the race, let him
take his supposed fifteen thousand
members and their friends, and es-
tablish a department store for Ne
groes in Harlem. And replace
those white concerns which receive
$50 of their money from the pock-
cts of poor Negroes, with stores
udner his leadership. Why put
forth every effort to destroy the
Negroes confidence in institutions
which we now have, before we Of

j have seen Vitamins A. Il, q.

is the reason for this ?"
Answer: Viatmin c does not
60 into tablet form well. IL loses
its potency when heated. That is
probably why it is not advertised
except by food product firms.

have been taking a lemon a dav

they thin the blood and reduce

Answer: This sounds as if
some neighbor had decided TO
take the Joy out of life. II half
the people in the world would
quit talking half the time. half
the trouble would be avoided.
Certainly a lemon a day won't
do you any harm, it will do you
good, on the same principle as
an apple a day.
H. W.-"What is the role OF
saccharin in the reducing diet?
Does it, as a friend of mine
claims, take away the desire for
food?
Answer-Saccharin substitutes
for sugar. 1t has no calories and
does not affect appetite.
Reader "A young girl has
used SO much medicine for
sinus trouble that her face has
become blue. Is there any cure
for this? ?"
Answer presume that this
is due to the deposit of silver
salts from the use of argyrol in
the nose. Some methods of
treatment have been advocated,
but they are uncertain and trou-
blesome. This serves as a very
valuable warning against the
continued and indiscriminate
use of silver salts in the nose.
Many cases of this kind have
been reported.

CHAPTER 81

Communist spies in the
storm troops ferreted out the
route the Nazi parade was 10
take. Armed units Of Red
Front fighters were stationed
in advance on the roofs OF
houses along the route OF the
storm troop invasion.
Charged with leading the
sailors and lockers units OF
the party, I had these forces,
some 800 strong. assembled in
large number Of waterfront
taverns all along the wide
river front of Hamburg and
Altoona.
Our ordre de jour was 10
rout all Hitlerites from the
ships and out of the harbor
after the massacre OF the
"NaZi demonstration in Altoona
had become success.
The storm troops marched.
They marched with bands
crashing and swastikss fly
ing. Their demonstration was
flanked by police. Police
lorries with machine guns
preceded and followed the
marchers. The parade entered
the sinuous old districts of
the city, winding forward like
an immense brown snake.
MARCH GRIMLY
The blare OF trumpets and
the rolling of the drums re-
verberated from the walls OF
-diHgy- houses The side streets
along the route seethed with
many thousands of workers
and their womenfolk. shaking
fists, hurting rocks and gar
bage at the Brownshirts, and
shouting abuse.
The storm troops marched
like one machine. The faces OF
the youngsters were set and
pale. At minute intervals, AZ
a signal Of detachment lead
ers. they broke into a hollow
roar:
Death TO the Red pest.
Germany-arise."
Then the first shots cracked
from the roofs. The roofs
were too slanting and the
streets too narrow to take a
direct aim at the marching
troopers. The shooting was
directed az the bases Of houses
facing the snipers.
The ricocheting bullets flew
then into the Brownshirt
columns. Some women who
had been watching the parade
from the windows of their
apartments were hit and fell
screaming. The storm troop
ers crowded into the houses 10
trap the attackers on the
roofs. Garbage cans hHrtled
out of windows.
Police trucks pounded into
battle. Machine guns raked
the roofs and the windows.
Policemen hurled gas gre
nades and people ran like
cockroaches. The storm
troops were broken up in
irregular. badly shaken groups.
Some continued their march;
most OF them fled.

nURING the last few years I

the humanities in the influence
Of science on literature.

science as it developed influenced
the minds OF the dramatists and

There is, to those Of us who
have labored in the vineyards of
science and the history of
science, a certain condescension
in the attitude of the humanists.
With a patronizing air of aston

was quite as creative as Shake

young man who asked him what

professor with some asperity,

the calling out of the Reichs-

and the Communist Party

the environs and the suburbs
of Berlin. The strike con-

order of the Comintern to or
ganize strikes whenever and
wherever possible, TO disor-
ganize production and trans
port. and thus 10 sharpen the
conflicts and the distress
caused by the economic and
political crisis.
SEEDS OF STRIKE
Chancellor Won Papen's
measures TO fight unemploy-
ment provided an excellent
soil for the growth of a wild
strike wave. One-third of the
German working population
was jobless; it was this army
of the voorhees, which fur
nished the most devoted and
reckless militants for the
Communist and storm troop
ranks.
Won Papen's plan was to
increase the number of the
employed without a CORE
spending increase in the
national wage total. The
Communist Party reused the
masses TO lay down their tools,
and every strike was linked
with the cry, Away with the
Papen regime!"
Meanwhile the Hitler move
ment had also declared an
open war against the govern
ment. Five storm troopers
who. in Silesia. had tortured

shooting him 35 times while
his mother was forced to look
on, had been condemned 10
death by special tribunal.
Hitler. in answer, had pub
hcly adopted the convicted
murderers as his blood
brothers," and launched a
frontal attack against Won
Papen.
Down with the Papen
regime" became also the
war-cry of the NaziS.
Communists and Brown
shirts combined forces in a
common effort 10 wreck the
Papen plan by an avalanche
of strikes.
November 3, at 4 a. m. on
the eve of the elections, the
strike wave eliminated in the
great Berlin transportation
strike. Communists and Nazis
stood shoulder TO shoulder in
the picket lines, in the raid
ing squads and in the action
committees.
