his own, without financial backing.
He had list of musical people in
Boston and added to it by perusing
the telephone book, and when he
came to a name he liked, added it
to his list of patrons. He had ac-
quired typewriter and typed
more than two thousand letters to
this hoped-for audience. The pos
tage stamps were heavy drain
on Hayes meager resources. The
concert would cost $806-Hayes
was advised not to attempt it. No
Negro had ever rented Symphony

were answered requesting tickets.
The night of the concert 700 per-
sons were turned away. With the
$4,000 this concert brought Hayes,
he was enabled to go to London

was tremendous. One season he
sang fifteen concerts in London

OF the many great artists the
Ladies' Musical Club will present
this season at the Metropolitan
Theatre, is one who encountered
hardships on his way to fame-Ro-
land Hayes, famous Negro tenor.
Roland Hayes lot was hard. His
first wages for arduous labor load
ing pig iron netted him 80 cents
a day. Roland, his widowed mo-
Their and two brothers lived on
that. Years later, Hayes concert
earnings for one year amounted
to 100000. The first consecutive
school years came to Hayes when
he reached 10. At that time he
entered the sixth grade at Fisk.
His rapid progress brought double
promotion. After four years at
Fisk, Hayes went to Boston. The
tiny apartment Hayes shared with
his mother was furnished only with
wooden boxes (Hayes made bed
for his mother by saving in half
a large packing box).

with Arthur Hubbard, Hayes

graceful action of the Detroit po-
lice departemnt has made this
housing project fight not only
national, but an international in
cident. Young Negroes here tore
up their draft cards last Saturday
in public. One man got up in
public meeting and said he was
of draft age and would probably
be called to fight in Asia or Eur
ope, but I will take my fighting
and dying, if necessary, right here
in the streets of Detroit for some
democracy for my own people,
Another man came up before
Judge George Murphy on a disor-
derby conduct charge in connection
with the fighting at the project.
He said to the judge, I have two
boys in the u. S. Army fighting
for these people (the whites) and
you can sentence me to any years
you want, but. when I get out I
am going to start fighting again
just where I left off, The charge
was dismissed for lack of evidence.
Cops Aided Whites
Zone hour of good police work
Saturday morning, February %,
would have prevented the riot, it
is agreed here. The cops let the
whites form a mob, erect barri-
cades across the street, stop NOV
ing vans containing furniture of
Negro families seeking to move in,
and meat and stone Negroes. But
when Negroes attempted to protect
themselves and to break through
the barricades, the cops went into
action against them"

Suspect Arrested
In Shop Burglary

A few hours after the loss had
been reported to them, police de-
tectives recently recovered approx
imately half of the $500 taken
from Grayson's dress shop, 1914
3rd Avenue, over the weekend,
and arrested a man who they say
confessed that he ceased" the job.
Detectives Lieuts. r. F. Mahoney
Jr. and A. K. Kuehl arrested Lilo
mel B. Haynes, twenty-eight-year
old Negro who worked for Gray
sons in December as a porter, and
in his home, in the East Madison
Street district, found 1851 which
he allegedly admitted was part
of the loot.
In one of his shoes they found
STAG in currency, and in the bath
room flush tank was $115 in silver.
The safe was taken from the
office to the basement, where the
yeggs chiseled a hole in the bot
tom. December IL a metal cabin
ct was broken into and about
$1,000 taken, and officials of the
store recently replaced it with
the safe.
Haynes denied he was present
during the actual safe cracking,
nor would he tell who was with
him in the job, police said.

Negroes Will Get
Houses Says Official

Washington-John B. Blandford,
Jr., director of the newly created
national housing agency, said it
will take the necessary steps" to
end a disput over Negro occupancy
of the Sojourner Truth Housing
project in Detroit.
A riot was precipitated last Sat-
urday when Negro families began
to move into the 200-family prof.
ect. Mayor Edward Jeffries of
Detroit came here to confer with
housing officials about that and
other housing problems in his city.
The project built by the Federal
Works Agency, originally was
planned for Negroes. Later the
federal government decided to open
it up only to whites. This decision
was rescinded at the request of
local government officials at De-
troit.
"Sojourner Truth was planned
for Negro occupancy and the de-
cision to that end is still in effect"
said Blandford.

Trouble Breeds Where
There is Inequality Of
Races And Creeds

ST. LOUISA plea to men and
women of all faiths to reaffirm
the basic religious principles Of
racial, creedal and national equal
ity, was voiced here by the Com
mission on Justice and Peace of
the Central Conference of Ameri-
can Rabbis.
In a special message on the OBJ
servance of Race Relations Week,
beginning Feb. s, and entitled
Justice for the Negro" the COM
mission stated that brotherhood
such as envisioned by the Bible
"can exist only among equals"
The equality of races hailed by
religion" it said, "is reaffirmed
by the findings of science and the
facts of history. Wherever these
findings are ignored, or these facts
denied, Gods law of love and JUS
tice is violated. Not infrequentIy,
those who advocate the false
teaching Of racial superiority and
bolster it with pseudo-scientific
facts have Interior motives, and
seek to exploit racial vanities for
their own ignoble ends"
Recounting the various types of
discrimination inflicted upon the
Negro race, the message said:
This plight of a large body of
American citizens, children of the
one God, members of the human
family, brethren of us all, must
challenge the conscience of every
one who believes in the brother
hood of man. This situation is the
harvest of sins of the spirit of
which none Of us is completely in
nocent. It results from the ignor-
ing of Gods word, that all men
are created in His image.

X. X. K. INSPIRED DETROIT RIOTS;
AXIS BROADCASTS RACE RIOTS
Detroit Housing Riot Shows Negroes
Fed Up" With Demrocacy Talk

Charging that the riot last
weekend at the Detroit Sojourner
Truth Defense housing project
when in accordance with the de-
cisions of Federal and local au-
thorities Negro families sought to
move in, was organized by the Ku
klux Klan and other fifth column
lists, disrupting national unity and
war production, the National Ne
gro Congress and the National
Federation for Constitutional Lib
critics today called upon President
Roosevelt to intervene.
Within a few hours of the De-
troit riot Axis short wave broad
casts were reporting lengthy &C.
counts of bloody race riot in De-
troit. The letter points out the
tragic seriousness of the racial
issue to the present war, indicat-
ing that the Nazi and Japanese
foes are attempting to use this
issue in the Near and Far East,
in the Southwest Pacific, and in
India, and that the enemies of
Aemrica seek to aid the Axis by
using the racial issue to disrupt
national unity and retard produc-
ton.
Detroit, Mich. "One of the
striking revelations resulting from
the riots here, February %, over
the occupancy of the Sojourner
Truth housing project is that the
American Negro is just about fed
up with the talk of democracy and
now demands some action"
This was the observation of
Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary
of the NAACP who came here
March 4, to consult with and
pledge cooperation to the Citizens
Committee carrying on the hous-
ing fight.
"Tn eleven years of travelling for
the NAACp, and in twenty years
of newspaper work, have never
found such bitterness on such a
wide scale as I have found in De-
troit," said Wilkins. The cooler
heads among our people art trying
desperately to hold the situation
in hand. They know that when
there is violence between Negroes
and whites, Negroes always lose
because the police and the soldiers
always join the whites against the
Negroes That is what happened
in Detroit. Although whites start
ed the riot and were armed with
every kind of weapon, the police
arrested 100 persons-2 whites and
LOT Negroes.
Despite this, the rank and file
of Negroes want to fight. They
are tired of talking. They are ra-
pidly coming to the point where
they do not believe or trust any
white person or any government
institution.

Ex-Convict Captured
In Robbery

An ex-convict, who had bound
and robbed a woman in her apart
ment, was captured in the North
Broadway District this forenoon
after a 10-block chase in which
several shots were fired at him as
he fled over a garage roof and
through alleys and backyards.
The prisoner, booked as George
v. Drake, S2-year-old Negro, 1884
2Srd Ave-, confessed later to De-
tective Capt. Clyde v. Daley that
he held up two women and a man
last night and escaped with $50
and jewelry valued at $500 after
firing one wild shot.
Captain Daley praised brakes

would have precipitated a pistol
battle with the officers had he not
dropped his weapon in leaping
from the garage roof.
Prison Term Admitted
Drake told Captain Daley he
had served a sentence in a re-
formatory in Pontiac, Mich.
Today's victim, Mrs. Elizabeth
DeLisle, manager of an apartment
house at 1017 e. Harrison ST., said
Drake stepped up behind her in
the hallway, held a revolver
against her back and forced her in
to the apartment.
IF you shout, I'll kill you," Mrs.
DeLisle said the man told her.

ment and was unlocking my door
when a man stepped up behind me
and placed a gun against my
back" Mrs. DeLisle said. 'sHe went
through every room in the apart
ment to make sure no one was
here and then forced me to lie
on the bed while he tied my hands
and feet and made gag out of a
towel.
II never keep money here in the
building. I just happened to have
$3.50 here last night, so he got
that and left"
