ENEMIES NO LONGER CONFINED
TO SOUTH, POWELL
Tells HOWARD STUDENTS

ASHING NGTON, Feb. %
P).-There is no such thing
left as the solid south, Rep. Adam
Clayton Powell told a capacity
filled chapel of Howard university
students here. The speaker had
come to Washington under the
sponsorship of Alpha Kappa Alpha
sorority and chose as his subject
'"The Challenge Of Today's crisis"
"Sectionalism is fast vanishing
in America the Harlem congress
man declared. "The hour has ar
rived for Negro people to no long
er condemn their enemies whole
sale; nor can their enemies be con-
fined to one section or segment Of
the population. Hatred will result
in poisoning those who hate. We
must recognize that today the en-
emies Of the Negro people are the
enemies of all people and that they
can be found in all races including
the Negro race, in all countries, in
all classes and in all sections.
"There is rising in the south a
new white man who is breaking
from the rut of blind hatred for the
Negro. This new white man can be
found not only in the fields, farms
and mines but also in the privil-
eyed, educated and professional
groups"
"The most noteworthy event in
contemporary political history was
the revolt of the vast majority of
the southern congressman against
the dictatorial rule of Rankin, Cox
and company. 1t is interestig to
note that only 16 remained with
the former solid south in last
weeks test on the George bill.
Eighty congressman came out from
under the anti-democratic, un-
American influence of their out
moded leadership.
| "Today the south is on it's way
to a full place in the life of this
nation and in the life of the world
and the Negro must stand ready to
cooperate with all groups aiming
at a better society.

Social Security Office Not
To Furnish Earnings Report

~ s"sO"s O~
A statement from Margaret F.
Bolton, manager of the local office
Of the Social Security Board, today
called attention to the fact that the
Boards local office is unable to fur
nish figures of 1914 earnings for
income-tax purposes.
Miss Bolton said that every year
at this time hundreds Of well-mean-
ing people request statements of
their annual earnings for use in
making out income-tax returns
since they know that the Social Sc
curity Board keeps complete records
Of wages paid to workers whose
jobs are covered by social security.
It is from these records that insur-
ance benefits are calculated for in
Sured workers when they retire or
for the family of a worker if he
dies. But the complete figures for
1914 will not have reached the
Board ip>time to make them avail
able for income-tax returns.
Wages paid in the last three
months of 1914 were reported to the
Collector of Internal Revenue in
January, Miss Bolton pointed out.
After the millions of reports have
been audited they are forwarded,
usually during February and
March, to the accounting division
of~the Bureau of Old-Age and Sur
vivors Insurance. There the wage
figures will be recorded in the indi-
vidual accounts kept for each work
er-for which the Board maintains
the biggest bookkeeping system in
the world.
Several hundred thousand wage
items are received every day in the
Social Security Boards accounting
division" Miss Bolton said, land
consequently it will take until June
before all the wage records received
for 1914 are totalled for each indi-
vidual. The Social Security Board
can't be of help, then, when it comes
to income-tax returns"

(ANP).-Today both vocational
and cultural training are important |
to the Negro, said DR.. Frederick D.
Patterson. president of Tuskogee
institute, at a luncheon Of the Cap
ital Press club here. The renowned
educator, touching on the age-old
dispute between the late Booker T.
Washington, founder of Tuskegee,
and DR.. w. E. B. Dubois, took the
position that neither should be neg
lected."
Almost 40 years ago, Negro
Americas thinking was sharply di-
vided on this point, one faction

ual labor training and bypass, at
least for some time, thoughts of
cultural or professional training.
Declaring that the present period
was the most significant in the last
quarter of a century, DR.. Patterson
urged complete coordination and
cooperation inside the race, "even if
there is not complete political
agreement. The latter, he said,
isn't urgently necessary.
In the postwar period, he as
serted, Negroes must hold all. gains
made during the war and strive to
make more.
1T will be impossible to deny us
on the mythical grounds of infer
iority," he exclaimed, citing accom-
plishments of Negroes during this
war. The fight, however, will be a
long, hard one, he felt.
Lauding the Negro College fund
as an aid to the preservation of
cultural levels, he averred that
training must be broadened. His
own opinions, he said, have been
changed.
II will ever again say to a
youth-'don't go into this field, ?"
he declared.
Negro education can have no fur
ther excuse for existing, he argued,
unless everything is done to incure
that such Negro education is as
good as the national average. Per-
haps it would take more time for it
to equal the standards of the ma
tion's best, he admitted, but he saw
no excuse for it failing to equal the
average.
In brief tribute to the Negro
press, DR.. Patterson described it as
creature of the American way of
: life" The failure of the white press
to offer impartial reports of the
news as it affects Negroes, or to
, give reasonable employment oppor-
, tunities to qualified colored work

transoms which distinguish some of
these post-Colonial Frederick homes.
Devotedly Frederick clings to its past
-clings so tenaciously, in fact, that it
has not finished with the Civil War
which ended in 1865 for practically ev-
erybody except this towns citizens.
Frederick's tax payers are still forking
out money every year to pay of the
100000 levy imposed by Gen. Jubal
Early in lieu of sacking the town.
But the Town Has Grown
Certainly the Fredericktonian's con-
tentment with being a Fredericktonian
has not hampered the towns progress
sive growth. Here is no stagnation that
sometimes results from complacency.
In fact, the qualities responsible for
such satisfaction are largely respon-
sible for its growth. The old towns

say its admirers, it weeps steadily on
ward past the chattering brooks.
In every direction the town has
spread out. The Monocacy River, in its
semicircling sweep a few miles away,
and the Catoctin Mountains, miles
to the west, are sufficiently distant not
to have obstructed the expansion.
The Saturday Pace
Although the architectural difference
between the modern suburban homes,
with their spacious grounds, and the
old houses Of the town proper, with
their secluded back yards, is like that
OF two distinct communities, the same
restful atmosphere pervades all parts.
Even on Saturday, when some feverish
activity would seem justified-for on
Saturday the Frederick countians really
90 to town-the pace does not appre-
ciably quicken. Although the streets
are crowded until late Saturday night
with country people and townsfolk, the
stores thronged, the three movie houses
packed, the parking spaces filled, there
is still the same leisurely tempo There
is always time to stop and talk with
friends and neighbors.
The foremost topic right now, Of
course, is when will the boys be home,
but other subjects are discussed, too.
