played what is termed in golf,
a Sudden death"-so Mr.. johnson
won the very first hole with a
birdie 4, against Mobiles 5, there
by making Mr.. Noble runner-up

Negro Banks
Show Steady
Consistent Growth

Washington, D. C.-The steady
and consistent growth of banking
institutions owned and operated by
Negroes is reflected in the Fourth
Annual Report of their financial
activities recently released by the
Department of Commerce.
Liquidity Trend and Resources
According to business analysis

cial Adviser to the Secretary, in
creases are registered in most of
their operations for the year 1943.
Resources assembled to a new
total of $15,175,983, an increase
over the previous year of $4,134,OO9
-37.4 per cent, the largest dol
lar volume and percentage gain
during any of the comparative
years.
The marked increase in liquid
resources is the outstanding feature
of their operations. Their portfolio
of United States Government obi
cations totals $6,583, 1913 and rep
resents 43.3 per cent of their re-
sources as compared with 31.5 per
cent, 1872 per cent and 1913 per cent
for the years 1912, 1941 and 1910.

926,61O has gained steadily since
the 1910 total of $2,002,685. These
combined accounts, cash and Gov
eminent obligations, aggregating
$11,510,2O3, constitute rs per cent
of their total resources.

FEPC Adjusts
7O2 Cases in
Last 6 Months

Corresponding to the ascent in re-
sources is the rise in deposits to
$13,991, 764. The upward percent
age deposit trend is indicated by
a Al per cent gain during 1913 as
against 80 per cent, 20 per cent
and 1876 per cent for the years
1912, 1941 and 1910.
Satisfactory adjustment of 702
cases during the six months period
from January l to June 80, 1914,
was announced this week by the
Presidents Committee on Fair EN-
ployment Practice. The figure rep
resents more than a third of all
the cases closed during the half
year.
A satisfactory adjustment, ac-
cording to the Committee, is a
settlement in which is eliminated
any discriminatory practice or
policy in violation of the Executive
Order 9346 and redress is given to
the complainant.
With activities of the Committee
stepped up through steady opera
ton of eleven field offices through
out the country, a total of 1889
cases were disposed of during the
January to June period.
Despite this, however, the six
months period showed an increase
in the number of cases pending with
the Committee, from 1880 to 2,100.
The totals show an average of
1T cases satisfactorily adjusted
per month by the Committee as
against total of 2,1O9 cases dock
eted during the half year for an
average of 351 per month.
Aside from the satisfactory ad-
justments, a total of 1927 cases
were closed during the January 1
to June 80 period because of lack
of jurisdiction, insufficient evil
dence, withdrawal by the complain
ant or other reasons.

David Francis
Dies Suddenly

Mrs. David R. Francis, 1915 Gin
ton Ave-, wife of the well known
postal foreman, died suddenly
Wednesday afternoon at St. Barn.
abas hospital.
Mrs. Francis suddenly became i'll
about six p. m. Tuesday evening.
At nine p. m. she was removed to
the hospital, critically i'll. She was
placed in an oxygen tent immedi-
ately and pencillin drug was admin
tered, both efforts to improve her
condition were futile. She became
steadily weaker and died at 4:25
p. m. Wednesday. An autopsy re-
vealed that death was caused by
meningitis.
Mrs. Francis had been in poor
physical condition since March 9,
when she suffered a fractured collar
bone and several broken ribs in an
automobile accident. 1t was be-
lieved at first that the accident
might have led to this sudden ill
ness until a report of the autopsy
was received.
Wednesday night funeral ar
engagements were tentatively sched-
uled for Border Methodist church,
where the Francis are members.
1t had not been definitely settled
whether the service would be public
or private.
Mrs. Francis father and a broth
err also survive.
Woodland Funeral Home will have
charge of arrangements.
