Irnivg Milts Continued From Page One field at the Trocadero, the largest music hail in that city Negotiations have already been! consummated for Calloway to appear ; ;n Holland, Paris. Manchester and Glasgow, among other European j cities, upon the completion of their London engagement. Mr. Mills is also sending over the following col ored attractions to appear on the European stages with Calloway’s or chestra, The Three Dukes, a dance team of unusual dalibre and Ehna Turner, acknowledged one of . ihe country's foremost tap dancers Upon Cab Calloway’s return to this country, he will' be followed in Eu rope during August by an immense colored revue which Mr. Mills .is now producting. This revue will feature W a colored band of note, the country’s leading colored specialty dancers and a grup of the most attractive colored chorus girls in the entire country. Mr. Mills has already sent out a call for the most beautiful colored girls in the country, who will be given a part in his chorus. His representatives in the various cities throughout the country are scanning all the local j colored show girls for this purpose- j Mr. Mills intends to make sure that j this chorus of colored girls will rep resent the most attractive of their j race in this country. five Ui LII1J* LUUHU.V ?* LU1 ored bands now comprise the list of attractions being handled by Mr Mills. The two latest to come un der the genius of his sponsorship are Jimmie Lunceford’s orchestra, feat ured nighty at the Cotton Club and Fletcher Henderson’s orchestra, play ing vaudeville constantly and soon to be featured in one of the leading night clubs in the Times Square sec tor. The other two bands under Mr. Mills’ guidance, in addition to Callo way, are the Mills’ Blue Rhythm Band, conducted by Lucky Millinder, and the outstanding group under the direction of Duke Ellington Duke Ellington’s orchestra is sched uled to arrive on the coast February 19 where they will be featured in the Paramount screen version of Eaii Carroll’s “Murder at the Vanities-’’ Mr- Mills, who returned from the coast February 13, completed ar rangements for Duke Ellington’s or chestra to be featured at a night club in the vicinity of Los Angeles while working on the picture as well as in the leading Los Angeles picture houses during the same time. The Mills’ Blue Rhythm Band, feat uring Lucky Millinder, George Dewey Washington. Alma Smith, Nicodemus, the Four Flash Devils and Josie Oli ver, are currently touring the mid western vaudeville houses where they are meeting with unusual success, breaking records in the majority of the theatres they have played. Fol lowing an eight week tour of RKO, the Mills’ Blue Rhythm Band will go into the Kentucky Hotel, Louisville, Kentucky, for the opening of the Kentucky Derby season. The Mills’ Blue Rhythm Band will be featured at the Kentucky Hotel for six weeks Mr. Mills has long been acknowl edge i the country’s leading genius in the management of colored attrac tions- He has built everyone of his units into a national figure and not content with that, into an interna tional figure as well. He believes that there is as much of a demand for good colored entertainment in Eu rope as in this country, if not more >o, and intends to make it a policy to ;end every one of his attractions to Europe at least once a year, thus auilding them into leading interna tional theatrical figures Economic Highlight £12,000,<100,000 to £40,000,000.000— with the result that a short boom will be followed by a tremendous crash. Contrary to this view, its ’riends are optimistic and express confidence that matters will work out to the benefit of the entire country. Take your choice. The country has been hearing talk of a business boom for so long now that it is inclined to be skeptical as | to whether or not such an animal ex- j ists- According to the business and financial periodicals, and the various feports of fact-gathering organiza tions, it does. It isn’t a very big ani mal yet, but it can be seen, felt and heard. All of the consumer indus- i tries are finding themselves with! more orders than they’ve had for years- "Industry’s industries”, such as steel, which sell their products to] other businesses and not directly to the consumer, aren’t doing so well, but they’re moving upward. Detroit, which saw the worst of the depression, is seeing the best of re- j covery- According to Time, this is the first period in five years in which car manufacturers can’t fill their or ders- In January, Chrysler, with the most unusual of all the new stock cars, had 21,000 more men at work than last year. Ford opened two ad ditional assembly plants- Nash esti mated that it would deliver more cars in the first quarter of this year than in all of last. Cadillac reported deliveries 50 per cent above last year General Motors faced 100,000 orders for Chevrolet alone. Tire companies were jubilant, with a Goodyear ex pert predicting tire sales for 1934 would reach the great total of 46,000, 000 units. A few weeks ago CWA graft charges appeared in the headlines The President himself was getting hundreds of letters a day complain ing of sharp practices. Job-selling, political preference, false expense ac counts, padded payrolls—these were the bones of contention- The govern ment moved fast- Employes guilty of even suspicious actions, were dis missed, some were arrested. The At torney General went to work investi gating other cases- Administrator Hopkins, worried and disconcerted, si nt out Army engineers to check up on CWA w'ork. When one was sent to Cook County, Illinois, w'hich con tains the city of Chicago, the entire Illinois CWA commission resigned At the same time, a nation-wide move got underway to keep the CWA in existence—it was due to pass away shortly- Mr. Roosevelt, however, doesn’t want it as a permanent part of his organization, announced that he wrould adopt a modified course Instead of bringing its activities to an end at once, it will be allowed to live until May 1. On February 15, CWA workers in the South will be discharged at the rate of 500,000 a wreek, and the dismissal movement will move gradually north as the weather grows warmer Continued From Page One | LANGSTON HUGHES BACK ON THE JOB In announcing its policy, the New Masses said editorially: “The New Masses has friends and it has ene mies. It supports the militant sec tions of the working class, the living core of which is the Communist Party. Its enemies are the enemies of the working class, the upholders of cap italism: bankers, militarists, imperial ists, Fascists, labor fakers, Social Fascis and all other open or hidden defenders and apologists of the cap italist order ... We hope to become a strong factor in uniting groups of the middle class with the working class in a fight for immediate de mands of fundamental importance to their welfare against imperialist war, .against Fascism, evictions, hunger and wage-cuts, lynchings and op pression of the Negro people.” Among the editors of the weekly New Masses are Granville Hicks Michael Gold, Joseph Freeman, Jos eph North, Herman Michelson, Ash ey Pettis, Stanley Bumshaw and Wil liam Gardener. Continued From Page One The Costiff an-Waffner Bill This brings a laugh, which is short lived if one thinks a moment ..... Thus when considering superiority of one group over another, it must be remembered that everything is relative- Just wrhere to draw the line is the point Americans today must de cide ..... Lynchers should realize - -»- ■ that regardless of whether the victim is a Negro or a white man or a com munist or Democrate, a lynching re mains one of the most horrible ex amples of decay of national morals Nothing is A"cornPl’shed by the lyncher except to bring shame on his own head. Nothing can be more re pulsive to those who want fair play, than to read of a lynching. Sane minded people will join in helping to wipe out the practice. JOHNSON, COLUMBIA FRESHMAN COMING CHAMP SPRINTER ___ 1 New York City—(CNS)—Ben John son the nineteen-year old Negro star sprinter of Plymouth, Pennsylvania. ! is reported to be a good student at Columbia University and destined for a championship sprinter career, ac cording to Carl Merner, Columbia 'Coach. Johnson is medium built but well knit, five feet eight inches tall and 145 pounds. He is a powerful sprinter all the way, fast off the mark and capable of carrying his speed over the full furlong route, which some fast starters cannot do. The Plymouth sprinter first came to the attention of track followers when he appeared at Harvard Stad ium for the 1932 Eastern Olympic try outs; He ran third in the 200 meters behind Midshipman John YVaybright of Navy, and Stewart Wilcox of Wes levrn, in 213 seconds. Plymouth took such pride in his performances it raised a Ben Johnson Olympic Fund to send him to Palo Alto, California for the final tryouts- He was fourth in the semi-final heat behind some of America’s best 200-meter men. Johnson established himself as the best sprinter in eastern Pennsylvania last year, but he was virtually un known to New York when he started his college sprint career last month He won a special 60-yard dash in the 89th Regiment Armory, beating Ed die Siegel, Phil Cohen and others of the local leaders in 5.4 seconds in spikeless shoes. That was the first public intimation that Johnson was a freshman at Columbia. Considered an excellent prospect, he wasn’t sup posed to be ready for the fastest in door competition, but he proved other wise in the Millrose meet, competing in a picked field of sixteen sprinters and beating Metcalfe in a trial heat. Running in a Scranton, Pennsyl vania, armory, Johnson has twice been clocked in 61 seconds- The board-floor record is 6.2 seconds, created by Loren Murchison eleven years ago, a record often tied but still officially intact. Johnson’s record breaking in Scranton may be put down to inaccurate timing, but his Eastern Pennsylvania friends believe he will do it in New York one of these days. Johnson will appear in the New York A. C- 60-yard dash, and in the absence of Metcalfe and Toppino he seems a logical favorite- He also will compete in the national A. A. U- 60 meter championships, but his dis trict championship successes bar him \ from the freshman medley relay race ! in the intercollegiates at the Garden j March 5 SUGGESTS HOMESTEAD PROJECT BE BUILT NEAR TUSKEGEE Washington—(CNS)—It is rum ored that a subsistence homesteads project is being arranged for on land in Macon County. Alabama, on the Montgomery Highway, about two miles from Tuskegee Institute •The Subsistence Homesteads Divis ion of the Interior Department is to be requested to advance funds for a demonstration project on land to be purchased in the vicinity of Tuske-1 gee Instithte. The demonstration project calls for the construction of modest homes with from two to five acres of land for each family suitable for garden ing, fruit trees and poultry raising and the production of other foodstuffs for home consumption. The homes will cost about 3.000 each and will become the property of the settler under a long term purchasing con tract The settlement will be self-govern ing with administration patterned after the usual town-meeting rdan. .School facilities will be found at Tus kegee Institute. Attention of the Subsistence Home- ' steads Division has been called to the suburban project worked out during the past three years by Professor J. U. Mundy, an academic teacher at Tuskegee- Purchasing a three-acre tract about three years ago on the Montgomery Highway about ten min-1 utes ride from the Institute, he erect ed a suitable college, with all modem, improvements, on a sloping hillside over-looking this well paved highway. ’ The initial cost of the Mundy plant was approximately $6,000. Later an additional forty-eight acre \ tract of land adjoining the home site i was purchased and the farming equip-1 ment augmented to cover the 51 acre tract of which 25 acres are now un-1 der cultivation. Of the 1933 crop, two acres of cot ton were plowed up under the AAA cotton reduction scheme and in its place peas were planted- In addition ! to the farming projects there is a | year round garden which makes pos sible a live-at-home program during the summer. 24th INFANTRY 100% FOR N. A. A. C. P. PENNY CAMPAIGN New Youk, Feb. 9—Assurance ha. just been received from Chaplain l A. Carter of the 24th Infantry that each enlisted man of each company of the regiment will contribute one cent to the Cerrt-a-Negro Fund of. the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People. The Association is endeavoring to rats $120,000 or one cent for each of the 12,000,000 Negroes in the Unite i States, as a twenty-fifth anniversary fund MESS ATTENDANTS ENLISTED IN NAVY Washington— (CNS) — Congress man Oscar DePriest calls attention to tb« following: “I have been in formed by the Navy Department that colored applicants who are eighteen and under twenty-six y/ars of age are being enlisted in the rating of Mess Attendant third class. In view of the limited number that can be ac cepted, and in the interest of economy these enlistments are restricted to a few recruiting stations near the Naval Training Station, Norfolk, Vir ginia, where the school for Mess At tendants is located- Applicants ap pying at other recruiting stations who can meet the enlistment stand ards, and are willing to pay their own transportation to one of the sta tions where enlistments of Mess At tendants are made, can have their names placed on the waiting list. GIRL 30 MONTHS OLD SPELLS 5 SYLLABLE WORDS New York City—(CNS)—A news story has it that little Philippa Duke I Schuyler, the two-and-a-half year old j daughter of George S- Schuyler, the I well known newspaper writer and J author, recites verse and can spell five-syllable words. The little tot is credited with a prompt reply when asked: “Who are your favorite authors”. “Nietzsche. Dostoievsky and Flaubert,” Philippa Duke Schuyler replied with no hesita-, tion and a slight lisp. “Of course that’s just a joke,” Mr. j Schuyler explained- “She really hasn’t, read any of them ” But golden-brown Philippa, whoj was born on August 2. 1931, passed the next pedantic hour in her home at 321 Edgecombe Avenue proving that she could read and write, could spell hippopotamus, rhinoceros and i Mississippi and recite verses from the “Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyan.” In a ! bright apartment perched on a bluff! far above the shivering hunger of Harlem, the little Negro girl has been acquiring knowledge from the time she could walk. “Sometimes it’s pretty difficult for us,” her father explained, “because h 71 i. h .1 I'TV'.x a. f Trrrrr iftnrmnr iTT we can’t spell out words like most parents do when they talk in confi dence- Philippa knows we’re talking secrets, and we might just as well come right out and pronounce the words we’re using.” “When she was twenty months old she knew her alphabet,” Mrs. Schuy ler said proudly. “When she was twenty months old she knew the num erals. And at twenty-three months she knew all the colors of the spec trim-” The Schuylers when asked how they accounted for Philippa’s pro gress, explained that they had devot ed much time to teaching her. She learned the alphabet with blocks anil numerals from the blackboard. As soon as she recognized letters on the blocks, Mrs. Schuyler showed her how to trace them with chalk. “We’re convinced of one thing. Philippa is not a child prodigy. \\ t have just taken the trouble to train her. Any parent could do the same. It’s just a matter of patience and trouble on the part of the parents.” AUTOMATIC CHANGES OF VENUE SUGGESTED IN TRIALS FOR LYNCH ING. WASHINGTON, February 13—(C NS)—The State’s attempt to punish leaders of the mob that lynched Lloyd Warner, Negro youth at St. Joseph. Missouri, the night of Nov ember 28, collapsed at St. Joseph on Monday, February 5th- As a result of that and other failures to punish participants in lynching ogres Dr. W W. Alexander of Atlanta, Georgia, director of the Commission on Inter racial Cooperatin. urges a general move for State legislation to provide automatic changes of venue in trials of men accusvd of lynching. Dr. Alexander said: “Such a pro cedure offers the only hope of bring ing lynchers to justice, because local courts and juries just will not con vict lynchers.” Dr. Alexander’s statement was oc casioned by announcement that there would be no further prosec’Jtjon of persons indicted as alleged leaders of the St- Joseph, Missouri lynching mob of last November 28. after the acquittal of the first man tried. He commented: “This is the old story over again of the failure of courts to convict in cases of mob violence. In the 1,880 recorded lynching* from 1900 to 1930 inclusive, convictions were secured in only 12 instances, or less than 1 per cent. Local courts and juries just will not convict lynchers, even in the rare cases where officer* have the courage to make arrests and grand juries the courage to indict.” All pending cases will be dismissed as a result of the acquittal by a jury Saturday night of Walter Garton, one of seven men charged with first degree murder in connection with the lynching at St- Joseph, Missouri. In making the announcement at Jefferson City, Attorney General Roy McKittrick said the case against Garton wa3 the strongest Charges to be dropped include malicious destruction of property in connection with the damage to the county jail when the mob fought back National Guardsmen, for.-ed its way inside and took the youth from the sheriff.
