about the farm surplus" but nobody
seems to get excited about other
kinds of surpluses in government
storehouses. The Newsletter quoted
an article in the Government SUR

formation about how to buy surplus
manufactured products from Uncle
Sam. In part, the article said:
Government surpluses-ten bill

types of products-your bid sets the
price-bargains-savings up to "a
cents on the dollar.
"The big money is in govern

New, top-quality merchandise is
being sold daily by hundreds of
government agencies for only 6 to

in the past. What with tele-
vision, people will be more
careful how they behave"
Mrs. Hartman has attended
as Democratic National Com
mitteewoman for IS years.
And in 1928 she went as a
delegate.
Hates Being Delegate
II hate going as a delegate"
she said. You're sitting down
there all the time, and you
don't see half what's going on.
Why even some woman with
a big hat on in front of you
can ruin it," she said.
Mrs. Hartman even turned
journalist for one convention
the famous "madhouse" as she
puts it of 1924 when it took
103 ballots to nominate John
w. Davis.
1T was the first time con-
vention was broadcast" she
said, Il think the public was
quite revolted at some of the
antics there, which helped the
Republicans win with Coolidge
that year."
Other memorable high
lights?
The most moving keynote
speaker to her was Claude
Bowers in 1928. This was the
year AL Smith was nominated.)
Never have l heard a more
eloquent, a more magnificent
orator" she said. And Frank
lin Roosevelt also made a
terrific speech in 1924, called
THE Happy Warrior" when he
nominated AL Smith. remem-
Der they brought him out in a
wheel chair. My, he looked
so handsome!"
The best woman speaker she
says was Mrs. Emma Guffy
Miller, a protestant who sec
onded the nomination of AL
Smith in 1924 at Madison
Square Gardens.
Dull Ones Are Worst
Mrs. Hartman says there's
nothing more disappointing
than a dull convention.
1895 wasn't very gay, it
was cut and dried, everyone
knew Roosevelt was in. And
the same in I916-it was cut
and dried for Wilson.

things rarely become known to
the general public, but seem to
float around the convention

is true" says Mrs. Hartman.
Mrs. Hartman says she only
spoke once at a convention
in 1886 in Philadelphia when
she made a speech and pre-
sided for a short while as a
courtesy gesture from the
chairman.
Has she ever felt prophetic
about future leaders of the

Forty-four years of conven-
ton going haven't lessened
the enthusiasm of the Demo-
cratic Party's grande dame,
Mrs. J. Borden Daisy Harri-
man
Mrs, Hartman, who recently
celebrated her 86th birthday,
leaves tomorrow for Chicago
to attend her 18th Democratic
National Convention. What's
more she's managed to take in
two Republican conventions
during her years in politics.
AS matter of fact, she says
the most exciting convention
she ever attended was the Re-
publican one in 1912.
This was the time when
Theodore Roosevelt bolted the
Republican Party and ran as
a Progressive. l remember be-
ing very enthusiastic about
T. r., and 1 said then that if
the Democrats didn't nomi-
nate Woodrow Wilson who
has always been my great
hero), l would be for T. r."
Mrs. Hartman felt that the
other Democratic hopeful,
Champ Clark, was too con-
SENTATIVE.
Wilson Nomination
But the Democrats did nomi-
nate Wilson, and this was
another drama filled conven-
ton.
Il remember one of the most
thrilling moments at any con-
vention was when William
Jennings Bryan suddenly left
his Nebraska delegation and
went up on the platform.
Clark's people we're holding on
to Bryan by his coattails, for
they knew what he was going
to do. And then he announced
that his delegation would cast
its votes for Wilson, this was
one of those great turning
points that you never forget.
Actually, Mrs. Hartman
herself played a role in this
particular drama. She was
asked to go to Mr.. Bryan and
try to find out how he planned
to vote. When she went to his
hotel suite and put the queS-
ton to him he replied, Il will
never again cast a vote for
Clark" This heartened the
Wilson forces when Mrs. Har-
riman reported back to them,
and they felt then they could
count on Bryan's support.
Although the Republicans
put on a good show in 1912,
Mrs. Hartman says on the
whole the Democratic conven-
tons are much more enter
tanning.
The Republicans tend TO
be a little stuffy," says Mrs.
Hartman. They don't have
as much fun as we do"
And she added a little visit
fully, "Of course, we'll never
have the Donnybrooks we
used to have. I feel that
neither convention will ever

ing which the dean was ordered by
Federal Judge Hobert Grooms, in
4 hearing set for. Thursday, Feb
ruary 9th, in Birmingham, to show
cause why he should not be cited
for contempt Of court for denying
dormitory space to the Negro stu
dent.
The news Of the denial Of DOR
mitory space to the Negro student
is seen by observers rs the spark
that set off q series Of incidents
during "the past several days, the
most serious of which took place
Monday when the Negro student
was attacked with a shower Of
eggs and other missiles when she
appeared on the university cam
pus by a crowd estimated at 5000
or more students and outsiders
who jeered and cursed university
authorities accompanying her call
ing them "Nigger Lovers"
The mob's attention was tenn
porarily diverted by an unidentified
Negro man watching the scene,
during which Miss Lucy was hur-
ried into a waiting car and driven
off the campus by a highway pa
trolman. The unidentified Negro
man escaped serious harm when
he was put in a police car, al
though some men struck him sew
eral times before he was rescued
by police.
In Birmingham following the
Monday incidents, Attorney Shores
said whether Miss Lucy returned
to the University Wednesday de-
pended on whether the situation is
under control. There is no point
in her going if they can't control
the situation and give her protec-
ton, he said.
At the heighth of the demonstra-

Reports of the National Con-

dictate significant progress in states
concerning integration.
Mrs. Ada Jarnagin, recently ap-
pointed chairman of the Intergroup
Relations Committee, to succeed
DR.. D. Cannon Partridge, reported
that the states making momentous
strides toward Indignation are
Missouri, Kansas, District of Co.
lumbia and Maryland. There is no
duo-membership in these states.
Many other states have inter-
group committees working toward
an integrated P. T. A. and school
service in accordance with the Su-
preme Court decision. Florida has
invited Mrs. Charles L. Williams
to become a member of their In
tergroup Council. West Virginia,
Texas, North Carolina and others
conduct work shops, intergroup
meetings, and they have council
groups. The National Congress of
Colored Parents and Teachers rec
ommend bi-racial group meetings
to be continued.
Included in the recommendations
by the Joint Committee were:
1. That each state congress set
up a group relations committee,
and on a local basis where needed.
2. That such committees sponsor
regularly scheduled conferences at
which they will
a. Assess the existing situations
in field of group relations
b. Plan for future activities on
the basis of need
c. Stimulate definite programs
of action---national, state and local.
The report also recommended
that local parent teacher groups
encourage school authorities to
/. Expand so that all children
will be given the opportunity tt
develop the skills, intelligence, ane
moral character that will enable
them to learn how to live success
fully as individuals and as family
members, and to make living fol-
themselves and others.
2. To equalize personal and phys
ical facilities of school systems il

ing and Institutional equipment, ir
order that such expanded curricula
may be fully effective.

to achieve their independence is
largely due to the personality of
African leadership in these coun-
tries. Such leaders land Negro
prime ministers), he said, have
sought to identify themselves with
the continent, rather than concern
themselves with the welfare of
their individual countries.
Akar said also that this African
leadership has placed more empha-
sis upon construction of govern
ment and the exercising of politi-
cal powers than upon the prepara-
ton of their people for leadership
and economic participation. It has
also been leadership against con-
sentative factors in government

rather than one with a positive
plan for native leadership and STA
bility. When the leadership ma

particular will present a picture of
greater hope for security when it
becomes an area Of independent
countries.
Akar, reviewing the vast physi-
cal and human size Of Africa,
stressed the point that this is the
only continent in the world where
communism has, so far, had almost
no influence. He said that not only
is Russia interested in acquiring
Africa for its rare mineral wealth
(gold, diamonds, uranium, oily but
that several West Africans in East
Germany have been offered scho-
larships by the Soviet government.
