tried to abolish the paid guide
service in 1858.
Back in 1914, the late Repre-
sentative from Texas, Maury
Maverick, announced: 1T is an
outrage to charge Americans a
fee for touring the halls of the
legislative branch of their Gov
ernment. Something is going
to be done about this. The
whole thing is wrong-terribly
wrong"
That same year, Senator
Randolph, Democrat of West
Virginia, then a member of the
House Of Representatives, said:
"Mr. Maverick and others
properly have focused atten-
ton on a sore spot that has
existed in the minds of many
persons for a considerable pc
riod of time"
Long Established
BY 1850, Representative Scriv-
ner, a Republican of Kansas,
had this variation on the
theme:
1T seems absolutely absurd
and ridiculous that the people
who come here, who support
this Nation and this Nations
Capital, have to kick in to some
professional guides to be taken
around the Capitol :"
And five years earlier, Sena-
tor Monroney, then a Demo-
cratic Represen n t a tive from
Oklahoma, said, after all, if
we have free trips at the Zoo,
we ought to be able to have
free trips through the Capitol"

reputation, has been going on

TaWes 10 Seek
Faculty Raise
For Colleges
Reverses Stand
On Strengthening
Teachers Units
BY PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

Gov. Tawes has approved a
major revision of the salary
scales at Maryland institutions
of higher learning to attract
high-caliber teachers.
The Governor announced he
will include pay increases in his
1923 budget for the faculties
at the University of Maryland,
Morgan State College and the
five State teachers colleges.
He said the revisions will
provide a uniform base scale"
for all the institutions.
For the first time, a profess
sorial rank will Tbe established
at the teachers colleges, a
move long sought by the State
Board of Education.
Sharp Departure
The Governors action is a
sharp departure from his
course last year with respect
to the teachers colleges, when
the colleges were involved in
a fight over whether they
should be turned into branches
of the University of Maryland.
State Supt. Thomas G. Pull
len, jr., and the Board of Ed
ucation, which controls the
teachers colleges, fought the
conversion. They recommended
establishment of the profess
serial rank and increasing the
salaries of the instructors, plus
an increase in the capital i'm
prov m e n t S program, to
strengthen the colleges.
The move to strengthen the
colleges was rejected by the
Governor last year. There were
several sharp exchanges be-
tween the Governor and DR..
Pullen, interspersed with COM
ments from the State PTA and
the Maryland Teachers Asso-
citation, which were on DR..
Pullen's side.
The issue of converting the
colleges is not dead, but Gov.
Tawes was defeated in the
General Assembly last year in
his move to convert Frostburg
Teachers College into a univer-
sity branch.
This year, not only has the
Governor approved PROFESSIONAL
rank at the five teachers col
leges, but he has announced he
will seek a substantially in
creased appropriation for CAPT.
tai improvements at the five
institutions.
May Blunt Teacher Drive
This may take some Of the
heat off the Governor from the
PTA and teacher groups, which
have been pressing for more
money for the teachers col
leges for years. They are still
pushing for a higher pay scale
for public school teachers, how
er. This has been resisted by
the Governor and, in fact, has
led him to accuse the Teachers
Association recently of being
a high-preSSure lobby.
The pay plan approved yes
terday by the Governor would
increase faculty salaries at
teachers colleges from a scale
of $3,850-8,470 to $5,000-$12,-
500. The same scale would
apply at Morgan State College,
a primarily Negro institution.
At the University of Mary
land, the same basic scale
would apply. but in the two top
grades - professor and asso-
ciate professor-the maximum
would be higher than at the
other institutions. The maxi
mum for a full professor at the
University of Maryland would
be $4,000, compared to the
present $12,500.
The total cost of the revisions
would be approximately $780,
900, of which the establishment
of the professional rank and
adoption of the new scales at
the teachers colleges would
cost $168,000,

and to drop in a piece of leg
islation.
II could understand the basis
for such a practice" he said,
"if this building were a mu-
scum. 1t is, however, a living,
working institution"
Mr.. Dooley added that while
the fees are nominal-25 cents
for adults, Is cents for chill
dren-and the tours are well
worth it, "the principle being
violated over 100000 times a
year is that one should not
have to pay anything to see
ones own Government at
work"
The Dooley resolution would
not change anything overnight.
If both the House and Sen
ate approved, a committee
would be set up to look into
the feasibility of eliminating
the charges to tourists for Cap
itol tours"
Many Have Objected
The committee would be
made I'D of the Sergeants at
Arms of the Senate and House
and the Architect of the Cap
itol. They would be ready with
findings and recommendations
by January of next year.
Thus, Mr.. Dooley Joined a
long and distinguished list of
legislators, who have tried
and failed-to put a stop to
what one called a cheap and
degrading system"
The author of this remark
was Representative Thompson,
Democrat of New Jersey, who

One of the great traditions
of the United States Congress
is an annual attempt to stop
the practice of charging citizens
Is cents for a guided tour of
the Capitol.
From time to time, q Con-
gresham or Senator wakes UP
with a peculiar sensation which,
by the time he arrives on the
Hill, is recognizable as a yearn-
ing for change. By afternoon,
he has a bill ready.
To those who have undergone
this sensation, there is some
thing basically wrong with
charging an adult citizen of our
country Is cents for a tour of
his own Capitol.
1t is a strange paradox. While
the Government willingly dishes
out millions to pay farmers for
planting less, it refuses to cover
the cost Of one Capitol tour
even for farmers who are
sightseeing instead of adding
to the surplus.
The latest representative of
the people to take a crack at
the practice is a burly Con-
gresham from Mamaroneck,
N. Y, Edwin B. Dooley, a Re
publican.
He is a former All-American
football star at Dartmouth Col
lege.

PILGRIM BAPTIST


Thank God For The Crowd At
The Cross" was the subject of
sermon brought by DR.. Floyd Mas
sey, Jr., to worshippers at Pilgrim
Baptist Church on Sunday, Nov.
10.
Taking his text from John 1925
26 verses, the minister told the
worshippers there were many
crowds performing during the last
days of Jesus ministry. DR.. Mas
sey outlined three types of crowds
in operation at the time.
~ The Psalm Sunday Crowd.
Many followed the crowd not
knowing why. The same is true
today; many follow a crowd with
no commitment. Those who knew
Jesus hoped that he would lead an
army to overthrow the Roman
Government.
(2) The late Thursday night
crowd or early Friday morning
crowd. This crowd was solicited to
raise confusion. They did not even
know Jesus - they made up the
rabble group Of the city. This
crowd was solicited to raise con-
fusion. They did not even know
Jesus - they made up the rabble
group Of the city. This crowd
yelled Cruelty Him" This was
all wrong E. often in a crowd the
worst comes out in a man.
81 The Crowd at the Cross did
the right thing for the right cause
The minister named several OF
those who stood at the Cross which
included Mary, mother Of Jesus
the other Mary, John, the deciple
and the two thiefs.
The minister concluded that here
at Pilgrim Baptist Church, we
have had a good crowd who have
stayed at the Cross. Pilgrim ha,

Robinson Says Block
MuSIimS Con Grow
Unless Bios Ends

New York, November 20. -
Jackie Robinson this week urged
white people to concern themselves
more with removing their own pre-
JUDGES than with the black SUI
premacy doctrines Of the Muslin
minority among Negroes.
THE Muslims can grow only If
the denial Of human rights con-
tinues against Negroes" the
former baseball star declared in
the current (Christmas) issue Of
McCall's magazine.
Robinson said he believes 1.-THE
great majority Of Negroes are az
opposed to black supremacy as
they are to white supremacy"
He said the appeal the Muslims
have achieved stems from "the
fact that prejudiced people use
race or color as a basis for human
dignity, thereby encouraging SYM
pathy among some Of the masses
of people"
Answering a question about the
Muslims, Robinson said Negroes
accept the groups right Ito dis
like whomever they please" but
object to its use Of hatred to deny
another person his rights as an
American"
He added that he sees no reason
why the Muslims should not
achieve their desire for a separate
state, provided they have the
means" He noted that "in Amer
lea, we are supposed to have the
right to live where we please"
Robinson advised his white ques-
toner not to be more concerned
about them (The Muslims) than
you are about the White Citizens
Council Of the Ku Klux Khan who
preach violence, while we have no
proof Of violence among the Mus
Inns.
THE American Negro is as loyal
as any group in America; but just
as there are fanatics in other
races, we have them. White Amer
leans should not be so concerned
with a small group Of people they
become prejudiced against ALL" he
said.

ions for failure to render equal
treatment to Negro members.
Following Resolution Made In st.
Paul
The Associations National Board
Of Directors passed a resolution
this week in which 1t pointed out
that the resolution to appeal to
the NLRB and /or the courts was
adopted three years ago by the
NAACP at its annual convention
in st. Paul, MINI.
The text, in part, Of the Board
resolution follows:
1T is the policy Of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People to try to prevent
racial discrimination by any public
body or organization including I'M
ions. It is also the declared policy
OF the AFL-CIO not to discrim-
mate against Negroes either In
admission to memberships or in
their rights as members, and most
local and national unions follow
this policy.
Three years ago we declared
that we would appeal to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board and
or the courts. to try to stop racial
discrimination by some particular
union, after we found ourselves
unable to persuade a union not to
discriminate.
In Accord With AFL-CIO Policy
TN any case, when we go to a
public agency to stop discrimina-
ton by a union, 1t Is not our In
tention to hurt the union, but to
get 1t to change the policy Of rae
ial discrimination about which a
complaint has been made to US. We
believe such a change in policy
will strengthen the particular un-
ion, will help organized labor ir
general, and will be in accord with
the declared policy Of the AFL-
CIO."

when DR.. Barnes first attempted
to buy a house in the newly de-
veloped area.
He sought the $4,000 house be-
cause it was located only 8 miles
from the school where he was
principal, the suit said.
According to the allegations, a
$1,000 deposit was accepted on the
property chosen by DR.. Barnes and
his wife but was later returned
along with the contract Of sale.
The suit alleges that DR.. Barnes
was told there could be no deal
concerning the house because he
was a Negro.
After threatening a Federal
Court suit, DR.. Barnes alleges he
was approached by representatives
of the contractor who offered to
make a settlement
After some negotiations, DR..
Barnes was told the house he
sought had been sold and he was
offered another that was not sim
liar, the suit continues.
A settlement was proposed but
not answered by the contractor, it
was alleged. Meanwhile, an arbiter
agreed on by both parties had
withdrawn.
DR.. Barnes asked for an order
that would prevent sale Of the
compromise property until the suit
is heard, in addition to the dam
ages sought.
