The recent Old Time Christ

is the reason there was only

The explanation was neces-

Joseph Gomez, who became

man when t h e Municipal
Council convenes on Thurs
day, January s, according to
an article in the Home Journal
yesterday, which states that
most of the members have
promised to vote for him into
the post. The article continues:
ALTHOUGH he has had no
previous legislative expert
ence, Mr.. Gomez has been ac-
tive in political matters for
more than two decades, and
has served in the capacity Of
campaign manager of various
political groups and chairman
of several political, civic and
fraternal organizations. He re-
signed on December 81, his
position as Building Inspector,
after more than 80 years of

The Red Willowweed is also
known popularity as the Broad
leaved Willow-herb and is close
relative of the more common Fire
weed, Great Willow-herb or Spiked
Willow-herb, Burnt-weed, French
Willow, Fire-top, Blooming Sally,
Indian Wickup and so on. Our
subject, the Red Willowweed, is no
redder than the fireweed flower. 1t
is however much smaller, rarely
reaching a height of 2 feet, as con-
trasting with the 8-foot height of
the Fireweed. If you know the
Fireweed and seek the Red Willow
weed, the best suggestion might be
to look for a small plant like the
Fireweed in whose leaves the later
al veins do not join into marginal
loops.
Red Willowweed is found in
moist or dry soils from Newfound-
land to Alaska and south to North
Carolina, Quebec, Colorado, and
into Mono County, California. 1t
is also found in Eurasia in regions
of suitable habitat. 1t was origin
ally described from Siberia. 1t

alpine streams that are glacier-fed.
Like the Fireweed, our Red Will
low-herb has two conspicuous as
poets when seen from a distance.
When it is in flower it looks red or
purplish and may give that color
to a considerable area when viewed
from afar. This may account for
the fire" part of the Fireweed
term. At any rate the fire" is
appropriately followed by a smoky
white appearance which results
from the opening of the fruits to
free the windborne seeds. An
other Interpretation of the name
Fireweed is that the plants fire.
quently become abundant in areas
that have been burned over rela-
lively recently. The 'Willow" part
of the common name is probably
due to the willow-like appearance
of the straight erect stems and the
leaves that are not unlike those of
some willows. The stem, however,
is not woody as it should be in
willow and the plant is a true
herb, the tops dying down to the
ground each year and the new
shoots arising from buried root
stock. The Towering period is
from July through September.
The related Fireweed is a rather
important plant to the beekeepers.
In regions where colony of bees
may be expected to yield so pounds
of honey, this amount may be
more than dobled during the sea-
son Fireweed is in bloom. The
honey produced from Fireweed is
light in color and of a high quail
ity. There is every reason to ex-
pect that to a lesser degree the
Red Willowweed may serve a use
full function to nectar-dependent
insects in the regions where it may
be found.
The stems of Red Willowweed
are smooth in the lower areas and
appear somewhat powdery in the
upper stretches. The leaves are
smooth on both surfaces, to nearly
3 inches long, though usually
shorter. The slender fruits are
about 11a inches long and split into
widely diverging parts from the
tip downward.
While the name Red Willowweed
implies that the flowers are red,
they are more commonly consider
ed as purple but they may be rose
colored or even white. The plant
probably supplies some food and
cover to wildlife and undoubtedly
its underground parts contribute

It is the first in a brand new
family of drugs that show promise
against leukemia. It is not a
cure. Like other anti-leukemia
drugs, it brings only a few extra
months Of life and health-up
to six months-and it doesn't t

The drug is named 6-mercap-
topurine, nicknamed M. P. In
effect, it throws a monkey wrench
into cancerous leukemic cells. It
closely resembles a chemical,
adenine, which the cancerous
cells need for life. It's just
enough different so that when
cancer cells start using it, it jams
their machinery.

Some Negroes Regret
End Of Segregation,
Dr.. Bunche Declares

Some Negroes have q vested
interest in continued race segre-
cation and are helping to per-
petuate it, DR.. Ralph j. Bunche
charged last night.
The United Nations Trustee
ship director declared that "a
false and shameful but some
what comforting security" has
developed under segregation for
some Negroes. Therefore. he as
serted, they ARE loathe to see it
CO."
DR.. Bunche spoke at the in.
stallation Of a new Phi Beta
Kappa chapter at Howard Uni
versity. The chapter is the ma
tional honorary society's third
here.
Aims at Integration.
DR.. Bunche called the install
lation Of the chapter an import
ant step in the advancement Of
the Negro citizen. But he added
that the ultimate. goal is COM
plete racial integration. Under
integration, he pointed out,
establishment of such chapter
at the university would have no
special racial significance.
The U. N. official, a former
Howard professor, said Negro
colleges in particular must be
prepared for a change of think
ing on the segregation question.
Integration, he asserted, is
bound to have a serious impact
on educational institutions now
maintained exclusively for Me-
groes, not only on enrolment but
on the moral factor" as we'll.
There are already signs, he
said, that some sources of funds
for Negro educational institu-
tionS are concerned as to whether
their gifts may obstruct inte-
grafton. Institutions must be
prepared to make sacrifices in
order to help, rather than hinder.
the dropping of racial bars, he
declared.
Cites Need for Courage.
"The Negro has evinced great
courage in facing segregation"
DR.. Bunche said. Even greater
courage may be required for some
to learn how to live without it,"
Thirteen Howard students, i'll
cluding seven graduates Of

Whiting s Ex-Wife
Held for Grand Jury
In $1,000 Safe Theft

Mrs. Marjorie Whiting. 40,
ex-wife of the reputed big-time
numbers king, Orion T. Whiting,
both colored, today was ordered
held for the grand jury in Mu-
nicipal Court on a charge Of
stealing $4,000 from her hus-
bands safe.
Municipal Court Judge Thomas
c. Scalley set bond at $1,000.
A preliminary hearing yester-
day had the earmarks of a con-
gressional crime investigation, as
Whiting time and time again
refused to admit his occupation
on the ground that it might in
criminate him.
Says 1t Was Hers.
The hearing hinged around
Mrs. Writings previous admis-
sion to police that she took the
money from the safe because,
she contends, it belonged to her.
The alleged theft occurred ear
lier this year.
Whiting was identified last
year by two Senate District
Crime Subcommittee witnesses
as the man who inherited one
of the Districts several numbers
empires from former gambling
czar Roger (Whitetop) Simkins.
Under stiff cross-examination
by Mrs. Writings attorney, Cur
tbs Mitchell, Whiting admitted
he kept up to $4,000 in the safe
in the 800 block of U street, one
of three safes the gambler pos
seSSes
Silent on Occupation.
Whiting, on a number of occa-
sions, avoided answering ques-
tions referring to his reputed
occupation as a gambler, on the
advice of his attorney, Myron
Ehrlich.
Whiting also refused to an
sWer a question concerning his
1948 income tax returns on the
ground of possible Self-incrimi-
nation.
Mr.. Mitchell accused Whiting,
while on the stand, of agreeing
last year to pay Mrs. Whiting
! $25,000 which she was to report
to the Internal Revenue Bureau
and an additional $4,000 not to
be reported. The gambler denied
the accusation.
