rescue his nephew, Shirley Dean
Ellis, II, of Oakland, California,

Curtis.
According to Mrs. Curtis her hus-
band and the boy had gone to a
local lake to try out their new
swimming suits. The youth rushed
into the water first, although he
wasn't able to swim. He evidently
stepped into a hole or a drop-off.
Mr.. Curtis, who could swim, went
into the water to rescue his nephew,
but the struggling youth became
panicky and pulled his uncle under
water.
Curtis, a commercial fisher, was
under water rs minutes before being
found by graphing equipment; the
nephew was found ten minutes
later.

and North Western railways "4OO,"

Mrs. Ida Curtis, and one sister,
Mrs. James Ellis, both of Oakland,
California. The latter two are the
only survivors of the Ellis boy.

st. James A. M. E. Church: Spiritual
Victory" the subject of Rev. Moore's mes
sage, the morning of the 18th, not only
made one mindful of the kind of peace
which came on VI Day but the peace of
our own lives. Rev. Moore said: IF victory
only saves the bodies of men we have
attained nothing; the victory which God
gives is that which we are most concerned
about. There is no victory unless it is
backed up by the Spirit of God. We should
not put material things first; the scripture
says, Seek We first the Kingdom of Heaven
and all things shall be added unto you.

Constitutional Violation
In answer to the attempt of gov
eminent attorneys to have the case
dismissed without a trial on the
merits, the NAACP said that there
has been a violation of the "Con-

power by a public officer.
In brief they say that de-

The issue was raised when the
government filed a motion to dis
miss a suit brought last March by
NAACP attorneys on behalf OF
Louis P. Hughes, Jim Brown, Jr..
and A. D. Harper, three Negro
citizens of Texas, against John B.
Blandford, Jr., Administrator OF
the United States National Hous-
ing Agency.
BlandfOrd and the National
Housing Agency, it was
charged in the original com
plant, had solicited applica-
lions from the plaintiffs and
approximately 200 other Negro
defense workers in the Tex
arkana, Texas, area for homes
in the Red River Courts, a pub
lie war housing project. Many
Negroes, including the plain
tiffs, were found to be quail
fed and had been accepted.
Numbers of influential Texas
white people, however, de-
manded that the project be
turned over to. whites, to which
demands the National HOus-
ing Agency yielded. Thereafter
all Negroes were refused Oc-
cupancy, Notwithstanding the
fact that many of them had to
travel as much as 80 miles a
day in order to get to and from
work at the Red River and
Lone Star ordnance plants,
which the housing project was
to serve.

man, gets an opportunity to exhibit
her many talents which includes
those of pianist, singer-and a new
accomplishment - inguist. 1t is
doubtful that anyone who has fol-
lowed films over the years can re-
member when a Negro artist was
permitted to display her cultural
abilities as does the glamorous
Hazel in Rhapsody in Blue" Ac-
tually, she speaks French and sew
eral other languages with the same
ease with which she handles Eng
lish. In the Warner picture of the
life of the late George Gershwin she
interprets Gershwin's melodious
songs in both French and English.
Predicted a Flop
This represents a definite mile
stone in the career of the girl who
through hard work became the
musical toast of Manhattan. When
she came to Hollywood people Won
dered how she would fare. Of West
Indian extraction, she was known
as much for her insistence on what
she believed were her rights as she
was for her famous boogie-woogie
playing at the piano. Many pre-
dicted that her business-like man.
ner would not fit into the Holly
wood scheme of things; and that
she would return to Cafe Society
in New York, a sadder, but wiser
entertainer.
She made several trips to the
tinsel city and each time proved the
pundits wrong. The thing that
clinched it was her ability to get
more money for working a few
weeks in pictures than several top
notch Negro stars who spent the
major portion of their time before
the magic lenses.
Is True Artist
AS in New York with her many
civic and cultural activities, in Hol-
lywood, Hazel Scott became known
for her boundless energy in aiding
worthy causes. When Warner Bros.
assigned her to a featured role in
Rhapsody in Blue" they did so
because they wanted whoever
played the role of the one who in
PRODUCES George Gershwin to Paris
to be someone whom audiences
would credit with real culture. The
part demanded that it be done con-
vincingly and with genuine artistry.
Hazel Scott was the perfect answer.
In the Paris night club scene she
plays the piano, sings, and acts as
mistress of ceremonies.
Regardless of what happens to
Hazel Scott from now on in her
very eventful life, as is indicated
in Rhapsody in Blue" whatever
she does-she does it up brown!-

old Nazis suspected his loyalty and
he was on the death list in the
Infamous blood pruge of the next
year.
While Won Papen barely escaped
with his life in the 1884 purge.
shortly was appointed Ambassador
TO Austria, a country to which he
gave the kiss of death.
He it was who persuaded Chan
cellar Schuschnigg to make the fate
full journey to Berchtesgaden in
February, 1888, which resulted in
the anschcluss with Germany and
in Schuschnigg's imprisonment.
/ This cheap victory so pleased
Hitler that he named the Catholic
Junkers Won Papen a member of
the NaA party and sent him to
Turkey as Ambassador in 1889 to
keep up the good" work.
Won Papen failed, however. to
win Turkey to the German side.
ShreWd, dignified. .slle was credited
by the Turks with probably saving
them from German attack as he
argued with Hitler that he could
win the Turks through diplomacy
without use of an army
Even in those days. there was talk
that Won Papen might some day
seek to seize power in Germany
eventually and make peace with the
Allies. Adroit as he was, however
he failed to bring off any such
coup. Yet he has escaped the Nazi
collapse by becoming a prisoner of
! the Americans.
The instant reaction In London
upon news of his capture was "Von
Papen's done 1t again. as far as get
ting out of the Nazi frying pan and

spokesman who made this comment
added, this time there is no fixing.

Won Papen, himself, as diplomat
went free eventually and was as
signed to a liaison job with the
Turkish Army for the remainder OF
that war.
His most recent diplomatic assign
ment was as Hitler's Ambassador tc
Turkey, post he left after Turkey
broke with the Axis last August. Hi.
whereabouts had been the subject
'of the widest speculation since that
time, various rumors placing him in
Portugal and Spain in connection
with peace feelers" which never
were substantiated.
The most recent rumor concerning
Won Papen was from Sweden, where
it was said he had been captured by
American troops in the Saarland in
March, a report that was proved
erroneous by tonight's disclosures.
Won Papen had been an important
servant of Hitler for more than l;
years.
Chancellor Of Republic.
He was chancellor of the German
Republic in 1882, the year before
Hitler took power. AS chancellor
he had refused to deal with the
rising Nazi party, but in 1888 he
helped bring Hitler together with
important bankers who contributed
to the Nazi movement.
For this service Hitler named him
vice chancellor briefly in 1888, but
