fascinated by the various activi-
ties. Men are attracted to Albie
Gotkin's boxing class, where the
youngsters are given expert in
struction, using heavily padded
boxing gloves, and doing 2 one
minute rounds.
Women find a comfortable
chair and watch the rhythmic
routines of the tap-dancing class,
under the competent direction OF
Frances Smith. Spectators are
amazed the children have re-
ceived only 3 months instruction.
Visitors observe the class room
instructions in dramatics, leather
craft, sewing, knitting. Art and
drawing are taught to an enthusi-
astic group of youngsters. The Wis
itor recognizes that children are
receiving an educational and re-
creational program which was
denied the past generation.
Harry Bee, the well-known and
popular harmonica player, was so
impressed with a recent visit that
he volunteered to conduct a class
in the harmonica as soon as his
professional commitments are
fulfilled.
Attendance at Senior Youth
Group continues to increase.
Ping-pon and dancing are most
popular. Refreshments are served.
It is an excellent place for new

NAAcP WILL QUESTION CONGRESS cAND.

washington, D. O. July l5-Branches Of the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement Of Colored People throughout
the nation were urged this week by the national office to bend
every effort between now and November to help elect genuine
" liberal Congress if they want "a breed civil rights program
enacted into law (and) economic and political democracy in
this country for all people"
To help glide voters in selecting such a Congress, Leslie
Perry Of the NAACPs Washington office has prepared a
t%wenty-one question covering civil rights, housing health, ed
ucation and other social welfare legislation, which the branch
Is are asked to submit to all candidates for Congress. NAACP
members were urged to use their answers as one Of the meas
uring rods Of a candidates merit.
Typical questions upon which candidates for seats in the
House and Senate are asked to take a definite stand if elected
are: Twill you offer and work for the adoption Of amend
ments designed to prohibit racial segregation and discrimin-
alton wherever federal funds are used to aid education, hous-
ing, health and employment?'
"Will you work to promote the interrogation Of qualified
citizens in all branches Of the armed forces without regard to
race. religion or national orgin?"
The answers given by Congressional candidates to quest
ions such as these will determine the support which they will
receive from Negroes and other voters interested in the attain
ment Of democracy for all Of Americas citizens.

NAACP Ad Stimulates Action at Con-
ventiOn

Philadelphia, July l5-Considerable comment and APP
probation was provoked in political circles here by an adj
vertisement, sponsored BY the National Association for the
Advancement Of Coored People in collaboration with twenty
other national Negro organizations, which appeared in the
July Is edition Of the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Entitled "Let En- Walk the NAACP ad urged the DEM
ocratnc convention to take a firm stand on civil rights in the
Democratic platform. There may be times for compromise,
for concessions that do not sacrifice moral integrity or endan-
ger the great and objective" the NAACP admitted. But
there is no room in Philadelphia in July, 1913, for compromise
on human rights in the Democratic party platform"
If the southern delegates refuse to agree to such basic
tenetsN Of American democracy as civil rights, the six-col-
umn advertisement advised the convention to remain undis-
turbed if these delegates walked out. If a set Of men wants
to organize a political party on a platform Of letting lynch
ing take care Of itself, Of permitting disfranchisement, Of main
tanning discrimination and inequality in employment, Of en-
throning segregation and the doctrine Of superiority Of one
man over another on the basis Of mere skin color. it is free to
do So the advertisement read. I'm the attainment Of the great
end objective Of a free, truly democratic nation and a free wor-
Id for all men, they are a Mobile, not a help. Their going
would be a blessing not a blow. Let EN- walk
This advertisement which helped to strengthen the sue
cessful determination Of northern and western delegates to
include a strong civil rights plank in the Democratic platform,
was viewed as a elimination Of the NAACPs 39-year fight
to persuade political parties to take fortnight stands on the
civil rights issues.
