the time the building closed at 4:45

waiting to pay.
The number of last-day filers was
less than half the figure for other
days this week. About 1900 persons
brought In their returns and first-
half payments Monday. On Tuesday
and Wednesday, the figure dropped
to $500.
Despite the surprisingly light day
yesterday, officials were reluctant to
predict that an unusual number Of
District residents had failed to meet
the deadline. They pointed to the
high volume of mailed returns.
Thirty four bags Of unopened mail
were on hand at closing time yes.

Negro Editor Quizzes
Robson on Red Link;
Draws Hot Retot
BY the Assoeiated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 16.-Paul
Robson, Negro operate singer, told
a Negro editor. here yesterday it was
none of his damn business" whether
Mr.. Robson was a Communist.
In a news conference preceding
his speech to a rally for Henry
Wallace, third-party candidate for
President, the singer gave the reply
to a question by George Lawrence,
managing editor of the Ohio State
News, Negro weekly here.
THE last person in the world ]
would expect to ask that question,
Mr.. Robson added, would be a
Negro and a representative Of the
Negro press. This Is no longer a
matter Of communism. It's matter
of civil rights. Draw your own
conclusions"
He accused "big money men" of
Fascist activities" and asked, who
could blame Negro for being a
Communist or anything?"
After the conference, Mr.. Law
renee, whose paper opposes third
party, said:
1--WE feel that Mr.. Robson and
what he believes do not represent
what the majority of the Negro
people believe. What he says might
appeal to the workers in the cotton
fields, but does not appeal to people
who reason and who know that we
can obtain civil rights under the
American system of government"
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Robe
son made a street speech from a
rented truck near the Ohio State
University campus after university
officials refused him permission to
speak on the campus. Last night
he spoke in Memorial Hall.
. City police and sheriff's deputies
watched the hall closely following
reports that gangs might try to
create a disturbance, but there were
no incidents. -
Mr.. Robson told the rally that
Mr.. Wallace "labors for the common
man" and warned against repetition
Of such incidents as the invasion OF
the home of Frank Hashmall, ex-
ecutive secretary Of the Franklin
County Communist Party, several
weeks ago.

Voting in elections at George
Washington University continued
today as the student body worked
itself up into frenzy of campus
"politicking."
The polls were to close at 8
O'Clock tonight. Campus politicians
were kept busy today, holding rail-
lies and button-holing all who
failed to vote yesterday in the first
days balloting. Placards spotted the
campus.

were Bill Warner, editor of the
Hatchet, university newspaper, and
Jim Speaks, Sigma MI fraternity
leader. The status of Bill Cantwell,
basket ball captain and law school
student, was not as clear.
Council Reversed Itself.
The Student Council ruled that
Mr.. Cantwell was not eligible for
the Office because OF a provision in
the Student Council constitution
which calls for a candidate to have
held major Office previously. His
hackers started q write-h campaign
for him-as his name is not on the
ballot.
The Student Council, headed by
Fremont Jewell, originally held
that he was ineligible-then ruled
that he could be write-in candi-.
date-then reversed itself again to
declare he could not run. Write-in
votes would not be counted, it ruled.
) Mr.. Cantwelrs hackers charged
he was being blacklisted because he
was not a fraternity man.
Called to Stage at Rally.
A rally last night at LiSner Au-
ditorium was momentarily halted
as about 400 students took up the
cry for the basket ball captain. He
was called to the stage and then
carried of on the shoulders Of sup
porters.
