Powell also sent similar tele-
grams to Senator Robert F. Wag-
ner and James NJ. Mead, Democrats,
of New York.
Mr.. Powell disclosed last Sunday
that his wife had been barred from
appearing in Constitution Hall,
which the OARS own, because of
her race. 1t is against the policy
of the National Board of Manage
ment of the OARS to rent the hall
for appearances by Negro artists.
Asked for Date
Miss SCOTS agent, Charles P.
McClane, in Philadelphia last Sun
day, said that he had telephoned
Fred Hand, manager of Constitu-
ton Hall, last week for a concert
date on October 20 for Miss Scott.
Hand told me-" said McClane,
that October 20 was an open date
at Constitution Hall and that he'd
forward me a contract to sign"
The contract never arrived, &C.
cording to McClane. Instead, Hand
telephoned him the next day and
asked if Miss Scott was Negro.
'I'told him she was" said Nc
Clane. "Then Hand told lie he'd
be unable to give her the hall"
"He seemed most apologize, 60
ing so far as to offer his assistance
in securing another suitable hall for
me. He said he'd been of such as
sistance to Paul Robson, but was
insistent that Constitution Hall was
definitely out"
Hand denied that a contract had
ever been made for the rental of
the hall to Miss Scott. He was
quite evasive in his answers to
questions relative to his telephone
conversations with McClane.
What is the policy in regard to
rental of Constitution Hall to col.
Ored persons?" he was asked.
'The policy is laid down by the
National Board of Management Of
Constitution Hall, a committee OF
the Daughters of the American
Revolution" Hand replied.
Asked what the policy was, hi
answered: Il can't say"
"Was McClane correct when hi
said he made arrangements fol

in battling about eighty uniformed
and plainclothes policemen. DR..
John E. Wade, superintendent of
schools, charged that their elders
had encouraged grammar school
children, as well as high scool
pupils, to use the coaches pay con-
troversy as a pretext for the
demonstration.
LOng-smOldering strife between
white and Negro students of the
Benjamin Franklin High school,
and the James Otis Junior High
school was believed to have been
the real cause of the fighting.
The two schools are housed in
a twO-blOck long structure on
Pleasant Avenue between Hath
and 10th Streets, near the
Franklin d. Roosevelt Drive.
The fighting was not broken up
until the Negro students were put
aboard six buses diverted from
their regular runs, by high police
officials to take the pupils out of
the area.
Searching for the cause of the
flare-up, the police decided that
some parents felt both schools
should be limited to either white
or Negro students.
The police found other causes of
the fight in reports that there had
been a dispute over a basketball
game between a Negro and white
team on Thursday afternoon, in
friction over dominance of the
schools activities among the stu
dents, and in rumors which had a
Negro teacher striking a white
pupil.

c. & O. Seeks Permit to Build
Radically Designed Engines

Plans for railroad locomotives OF
radically new design were revealed
by the Chesapeake g. Ohio Railway
today with the application to the
War Production Board for permits
sion to build three locomotives which
will burn coal, but will combine "the
best features of steam, turbine and
electric drive"
The new locomotives will be cleo
trically driven, the electricity pro-
duced by steam turbines rather than
Diesel engines. The fuel will be coal
rather than oil, and the coal supply
will be carried at the head of the
locomotive instead of in the tender
The new power plants are de-
scribed in joint announcement by
the railway, the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works, which has completed the
basic designs and will build the loco
motives in cooperation with c. g.. O.

mechanical engineers, and the West
inghouse Electric & Manufacturing
Co., which will build the steam tur-
bine and electrical equipment.
The locomotives will have ad-
vantages of speed-more than 100
miles an hour under full load-con-
tinuous power and smooth operation
Greater reliability and lower mainte-
nance costs are claimed for the tur-
bine- electric locomotive over Diesel
engine power.
Behind the coal at the head of the
locomotive will be the cab, then the
boiler in the center section and
finally the steam turbine and electric
generators feeding motors mounted
on each of the driving wheels.
President Carl E. Newton of the
C. & o. says the locomotives will not
be experimental" because each of
the separate engineering elements
has been thoroughly tested.

tour in 1886 he directed several
concerts and as a result was ap-
pointed to his present post of as

sociate conductor of Stokowski' S
All-American Youth Orchestra dur
ing its South American and North
American tours in 1910 and I941.

immigration to this country.
Noting that his group was au-
thorized yesterday to study pro-

II think after our hearings it will
be clear we should remove Germany

II don't think they're fit to come
over here, and unless we do some
thing pretty soon, as soon as the
war is over as many as $1,000 Ger
mans a year will be able to enter
this country.
I'VE can't allow the 'supermen' to
come over here and spread their
Nazi gospel among our children"
Mr.. Dickstein would divide the
immigration quota taken away
from Germany among some of our
present Allies" He did not desig-
nate them.
