Negro Leaders Confer
With Rutland, Plan
SIum Plea 10 Congress

Washington's Negro leaders
we're preparing today TO carry to
Congress their own appeal for
funds to erase slums here.
The appeal will be made by a
committee headed by the Rev.
Robert w. Brooks. member OF
the District Board OF Public Well
fare.
That was one result of q meet
ing yesterday with Health Ofhcer
George c. Ruhland of q group
OF Negro leaders. protesting DR..
Ruhland's proposal for screening
colored persons who plan to move
here from the South.
The committee was authorized, ;,
after the Negro leaders had as
sailed DR.. Ruhland's proposal ard
the health officer had explained
his statement. Members of the
committee will be named TO carry
the appeal to Congress.
Explains Viewpoint.
Or. Ruhland told about 30
Negro leaders that he had not
been quoted fully" on his pro-
posal and that he had been sur
prised by the criticism which had
come from educated colored men.
He explained that he had in
tended his remark about screen
ing persons moving here to apply
to every one and not just 10 col
ored people.
The Rev. Mr.. Brooks described
the Ruhland proposal as "a Hit
lerian theory" and said that. If
DIR. Ruhland had been wrongly
interpreted" he should have seen
that his statement was COR
rected.
DR.. Paul Cornely of Freedmen's
Hospital said DR.. Ruhland's re-
marks. using the word screen
ing" tn-relation to colored people.
were rather unfortunate" Con-
ditions in the South are no better
than they are here. DR.. Cornely
said. adding:
Negroes will be forced to take
bad housing until real estate in-
terests take an interest In .colored
people.
Condemnation Urged.
The Rev. Dillar Brown, pastor
Of st. Luke's Episcopal Church.
declared the Rutland statement
played into the hands of those OPP
posed to . program to erase slums.
He said the Health Department
should condemn insanitary places
and the Negro clergymen had sug-
gested several against which such
action should be taken. In most
cases, he added, the places were
only patched up and not con-
demned.
William II. Cary. jr., director Of
the Bureau of Health Engineering.
told the meeting there are more
than 1000 places against (which
condemnation proceedings have
been started. He estimated that
the District has more than 5000
substandard housing units unfit
for human habitation. But he
raised the question Of what would
happen to the people now living In
them If the places were con-
demned.
In his statement. DIR. Rutland
suggested that Negro leaders un-
dertake a cleanup campaign to
improve conditions In the slum
areas. The Health Department. he
added. has reached the limit Of its
resources.

good-by as he goes off on another
map-hunt.
The murder search is just like
those which keep Los Angeles
more or less constantly on the bot
tom of the nations pages. It leads
to a gang of racketeers who are
preying upon the community S
illegal bookmakers, which means
that johnson is going to be asso-
ciated with number or rough
and sordid types.
The only one of these who
turns out to be worth q second
look is the girl played by Miss
De Haven. This lacquered tramp
who works in a low down night
club is more sophisticated than
most of her sisters in similar
melodramas. She does not quite

stand. but she certainly arouses
more than his professional in

Except for this romantic side
light, Schnee's script concen-
trates upon the usual incident of
such films, possibly in q more
light-heayted fashion than many.
It shows how frustrated detec-
tives get jumpy when they stay
away from home too long; how

their society girl wives mediate
upon marrying the young steel
barons in their earlier lives; and
how older members of the homi-
eide squad remain loyal to their
calling despite its physical dan
gers and the public's constant
criticism.
Scene of the Crime is full OF
workmanlike performances with
johnson showing the way as
chap trying to be a model detec-
tive and husband at the same
time. Miss Dahl is sweetly sultry
as his wife and Miss De Haven is
sultry minus the sweetness as the
cafe girl who matches wits with
any detective who wants to do In
her no-good boy friend.
The suspense of it all. however
is about as great as that involved
in whether a three-year old will
reach out for a handy piece OF
candy.

It is not that this screenplay is
anything more than a melodra-
matte pot t-boiler, but that Metro
has a way of packaging these
things attractively enough to re-
main safely in business.
For the feminine trade, the film
offers johnson as a glamorous
homicide squad lieutenant and, to
lure the men, there are Miss Dahl
and Gloria De Haven. A hand
some triangle they make and this
permits the picture to take its
mind off crime every few minutes
while it contemplateS the lighter
and darker sides of love in the life
of a crime hunter.
Heaven only knows how many

cameras before and perhaps even
Heaven has stopped keeping count.
