New York, (IPS): Hazel Scott
recently informed her husband,
Congressman Adam c. Powell, Jr.
that she was going to have a baby.
The idol of Cafe Society and pop
ular star of radio, stage and screen
admitting the stress of appearing
before the concert stage and pre-
pairing to meet the stork had her
in a whirl told the writer that she
had cancelled her tour which was.
to have extended through 1945,
1916 and 1947, with bookings in
many European cities.
More than 100, 900 persons in
various sections of the US and
Canada have witnessed the artist
in her latest triumph. 1t has been
reported that the gross receipts
was the greatest received by any
pianist for such a stellar perform
ance. Playing to capacity crowds,
every engagement IA a complete
sell-out months in advance.
In only one instance did the tour
hit a snag-if it might be termed
as such, that was when the artist
was barred from Constitution Hall
in the nations capital by the OAR.
The deplorable incident, if it was
intended to besmirch Miss Scott,
or even her congressman husband,
did nothing of the sort. In fact,
the publicity aided the nations No
1 concert pianist in becoming a box
office smash success with distinc-
tivenesS.
The tour netted unanimous
praise from the press. Besides be-
ing a financial success it proved
that both Miss Scott and her hus-
band, the handsome congressman
preacher publisher were Americas
sweethearts, inasmuch as the cou-
pie were the target of many SEN
sational yellow journals. Climaxed
with an engagement at Carnegie
Hall on November 26 last, the
tour provided entertainment SUI
per-duper. Engaging in classics
by noted composers and highligh-
ted by her w original compost
tons, Miss Scott was accompau-
led at intervals by an instrume.l-
tai trio led by Gene Cedric.
But to Miss Scott having a very
grand baby is more important
chan having a baby grand!

In ~frequetn columns and on almost every lecture
platform Schuyler will poitn out that neither the
Democrats nor the Republicans can bring freedom
for the Negro because they are only stooges of Big
Business which invariably stands to profit from di-
viding the working people.
Now after this analysis, how Brother Schuyler
can say with a straight face that the Marxists 'have
no program when they are continually calling for
a Workers Government with the construction of a
Socialist Society where it would be impossible for
any class to profit from exploitation or racial perse-
cutlon-how he can contradict his own logic, then.
In such a wayl am sure can easily be explained by
that HOudini of the written word. Mr.. SCHUYLER.

Dear Dombrombrowski:
I have just received through a
friend of mine in jackson, Miss,
two sheets that your un-American
negro social equality, communi-
site, mongrel outfit is sending out
throughout the country in your
mad desire to build up a factual
case against the right and prero-
gative of a United States Senator
or Senators to filibuster any OBJ
~jectionable legislation that is pro-
posed in this great body.
Of course your immediate aim
is to secure the passage of the I'M
democratic, un-American anti-poll
tax bill which is now pending on
the Calender of the United States
Senate by defeating the right and
powr of Senators to object by fill
buster. In other words you are
trying to bull-doze and intimidate
members of the Senate who are
conscientiously opposed to this IN
American piece of legislation
F~ilibustering in the Senate has
been a right and prerogative since
the adoption of the Constitution
of the United States and it has
been resorted to by Senators of
great renown in the past to defeat
vicious legislation and it can be
truthfully said that there has ne
yer been a successful f%ilibuster
throughout the $50 pears of the
Republic but what time has shown
that it was wise and best for the
PEOPLE and the Nation.
Beginning last December 1 per-
sonally stopped the passage of the
so-called Land Grant Railroad bill
by a threatened filibuster and by
continuing this fight this session

In an address at the Inaugural

TT seems to me that these groups,
who are asking the American people
for blank check to use American

THE Persian garrisons occupying

Kurdish tribesmen who are sitting
around in the hills waiting for a

Asked what would determine
whether they would strike, the
Briton said: I'm situations such as
this the Kurdish tactics have been
to maintain a blockade of the towns
and wait for the garrisons' supplies
to run out. Then if the tribal chief
tains believe the garrisons' supplies
and morale are sufficiently low they
probably will charge in, attacking
the towns"

Edwards, 30, set trap for him.
Police gave this account of events
which led to the arrest of White:
On Wednesday, by Whites own
admission, he came to Tech and
approached Mr.. Edwards with an
offer to supply him with the drug
If the janitor would sell them to
students. He gave glowing ac-
count of huge profits.
Mr.. Edwards told the man he
would think 1t over and told him

Shortly after noon yesterday, An
drew Vliet, assistant superintendent

nized by a description he had of

Capt. Storm had no men available
to send from the station house, but
he called the radio dispatcher, who
broadcast q message to scout car 12l
ordering it to the scene. When Pvt.

cap and tunic and borrowed a jacket
from a student.
Then the 30-year -old policeman
found Mr.. Edwards and quickly
marked and took the serial number

acquired the marijuana habit while
serving in the Army. He said he was
discharged six months ago for an
injury received in a practice para
chute jump. He served all of his
