COLUMBIAN TACTICS REVEALED

Atlanta-Two former mem bers of the Columbians hate or ganization testified the other day at a hearing, that Homer Loomis, executive secretary, had set as two of his objectives to run all the Jews and Negroes out of the country and to dy- namite the city auditorium the first time Negroes had a large meeting there.
 A bailiff talking to chance hearers outside the Court, told them how much fun he had had on at least two occasions. The first was an occasion when he caught a Negro walking down the street with whole sack of good cabbages. He took the man to the nearest market, but the manager could not positive ly identify the cabbages. s1So the cop kicked the 'nigger' out and sent him running. The cabbages were left on the street the baillff said.
 In another instance he could see Negro standing gazing at the pictures posted in front of a theatre. He was charged with having winked at a white wo- man. The Negro was taken to a deserted road by the police and made to run as fast as he could in front of the police car. To get added burst of speed the police would race the engine and fire their revolvers into the air.

The bells of st. Johns Episcopal
eChurch on Lafayette Square will
toll only three times at the funeral
Of Robert H. Fletcher Friday after
noon-because Mr.. Fletcher, sexton
there for nearly go years, always
thought church bells that rang
longer were "undignihed."
Mr.. Fletcher died Monday at Gal
linger Hospital at the age of SO.
Friend of Presidents and COM
panion of choir boys, Robert, as
every one called him, knew Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt, President
Taft, and many other Presidents
who worshiped at the historic
church.
Back in the old days Robert
used to station himself in front
of the church before each service
and open the carriage doors for
the arriving members" the Rev. DR..
C. Leslie Glenn, rector of the church
said. Every one would stop for
word with him, and he could often
be seen in serious discussion of
world problems with our members"
Devoting his life to his work, the
colored sexton never married. He
spent most of his time working
around the buildings and the
grounds, and even after old age
forced him to retire, he used to visit
st. Johns regularly, "just to be sure
things are going as they should be-"
During the last four years, how
ever, Robert was unable to make
the trip from his home at 922 Elev-
enth street NV. to the church. He
left his home for the last time last
Friday when he was taken to Gal
linger Hospital after fall in his
home.
DR.. Glenn said Robert started
working when the Rev. w. A. Leon
ard, who later became Bishop of
Ohio, was rector there. Robert soon
put a stop to the custom of incessant
ringing Of the bells before each
service, DR.. Glenn said. Three times
were enough, Robert decided, and
as in many cases of operational pro-
cedure at the church, Roberts de-
cision became law.
Funeral services will be held at st.
Johns at 2 pm. Friday. DR.. Glenn

Hope and Shelton Cut Oft Air
For Ribbing NBC on Allen Case

Hope got IN bad after referring
to Las Vegas, New, wide open gam
bling resort city, as the "only place
in the world where you can get
tanned and faded at the same time. =
He then added "of course, Fred Al
len can be faded any time, and
the switch was thrown.
Network officials were silent be-
yond the brief statement that the
censored material was "objectiona-
BILE to NBC." Edna SHELTON, Reds
writer and former wife, said the
deleted material in the script had
been disapproved by the network
but that Red was determined to
use it, anyway"
Allen started the whole thing
Sunday night in New York when he
referred to a nonexistent NBC vice
president who, he said, was lin
charge of program ends" and NOTED
the time saved when programs ran
overtime"
Allen explained that this func-
tionary saved up seconds, minutes
and hours until he had amassed two
weeks, then took a two-Week vaea-
ton. His sponsors advertising
agency claimed Allen was cut off the
air for IS seconds, and said it
would bill NBC for the lost time.

HOLLYWOOD, April 2s.-It's NO
joke to the National Broadcasting
Co. when its high priced comedians
poke fun at their bosses.
The network, which cut Fred
Allen of the air briefly Sunday
when he sought to comment on the
activities Of a mythical NBC vice
president, gave Bob Hope and Red
Skelton the same treatment last
night when they essayed little rib
bing on the Allen case.
Red was silenced for about IL sec
onds when. after an exchange of
quips with his straight man, he said !:
"Be careful, we might ad lib some
thing that will hurt the dignity of
some NBC vice president. Did you
hear them cut Fred Allen off Sun
day?"
That's when they pulled the plug
on Red, but he went right on for the
benefit of his studio audience:
You know what NBC means,
don't you? Nothing but cuts, moth
ing but confusion, nobody certain. T"
He had the last word, anyway,
because when they put him back on
the air he commented, well, we
have now joined the parade of stars.
