TO All* APPEAL OF ARKANSAS PLANTERS’ VICTIM New York, Jan. 25.—The National Association for the Advancement of of Colored People contributed twenty five dollars today toward the defense fund of Ward H. Rodgers, Federal Emergency Relief Administration in structor, sentenced to six months in jail and $500 fine at Marked Tree, Arkansas, on January 21, on a charge or anarchy. Rodgers is a 24-year-old colege graduate, and a white man. Rodgers’ arrest followed an address he made to a meeting of white and black tenant farmers, members of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union, or ganized by the Socialist Party, where he is charged with saving: ‘relief will not come until the government of the statement about lynching plantation system’. Rodgers denied making any statement about lynchiag plantation owners. The action of the State was said to be at the behest of the local plantation owners who are alarmed at the rapid organization of the black and white tenant farmers in a union. Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, is raising a defense fund o carry an appeal to the highest courts. It is to this fund that the N. A. A. C. P. has contributed. ADVERTISE IT IH THE GUIDE THE WAY OUT By Loren Miller (CNA)—If I had laid all of the magazines I purchased last year end to end and »T woud have had a vast collection of pure bunk and a mini mum of valuable material. Of course, l never lay magazines end to end and the possibility is that I never shall. But all columns have to begin and that’s just my way of saying that I bought the ‘anti-l/nch’ number of the Crisis magazine issued in December. The investment was a bad one. The collection of big-wigs who wrote for it got off some astounding and asinine statements about lynching. Oswald Garrison Villard made the remarkable discovery that 1 nch.ng is Public Enemy No. 1. James Weldon Johnson went him one better and fer reted out the theory that it is anarchy. Roy Wilkins got his picture on the cover bearing a sign asserting that the president has outlawed lynching while W. E. Woodward rang the changes on the old saw that it is a relic of barbarism. There was more in the same vein but why go on! Easy Formulas None of the contributors took the trouble to point out that lynching has its roots in the economic structure of our society and that it is encouraged b ! those who use it to keep the Negro in his ‘place’ where they can rob and exploit him to their heart's and pock et’s content. Certainly lynchers are nc* enemies of these people. Nor is there anvthing anarchic about the systematic manner in which lynching is encouraged. At least fifty persons have been lynched during the Roosevelt regime I and that be outlawing — ! To stele I lynching a relic of barbarism is to lay | the blame to mythical ancestors for a practice that is a d.rect outgrowth of very m°dern conditions. The gentlemen who reduced lynch ing to the easy formulas outlined above have a method in their mad ness. If you can convince people that it is merely uncivilized or anarchy or a public enemy then you can persuade them that all that is necessary is the passage of a law aganst it. More important, you can prevent them from attacking the whole system of Negro exploitation in an attempt to scotch the mobs. Friends? And most of the people enlisted by ’he N. A. A. C. P. in its windjamming tryst against lynching have a pretty good stake in America’s Jim-Crow economic system. Let’s take a look at one of the leg islators who says he is against lynch ing; the honorable, the senator from Kansas, Mr. Arthur Capper. Senator Capper is a national director of the Association. He is also a former gov ernor and the publisher of a string of newspapers and magazines. As a former Kansan, I can report ‘hat the Capper publications employ Negroes in none but menial positions. The state is Jim-Crow from top to bottom. There are separate schools in ever;.* large city. Negroes are re fused service at soda fountains and restaurants. They can see shows only from third balconies. Kansas Univer s.ty bars Negro athletes from its teams and won’t let them swim in the college pools. Enemies? Limitations of space prevent me from showing up the records of other Crisis collected ‘enemies’ of lynchers, it seems to me that it is foolish to resign ourselves to the ‘tender mer cies’ of these practitioners of J.m Crow and expect them to do more than go through mock exercises in our be half. Obviously these men won’t support a bill of rights for Negro people, a b.ll thorough enough to strike at the very heart of lynching. Rather they will always do just what they are doing now; slap the lynchers on the left wrist while they arm their other hand. And for myself I harbor a rather strong distrust of those Ne groes who recommend such men to us j as friends. TO USE MOVING PICTURES IN ’35 WALTER WHITE _■_• •' : Reviews Miltant Efforts Of Past Year At Annual Meeting New York, Jan. 11.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has secured a moving picture camera and complete project ing outct whch will be used to more effectively carry on its work during 1935. This was only one of the many ambitious plans outlined at the annual j meeting of the association here on Monday by Walter White, N. A. A. C. P. secretary. Films have already been made of conditions of Negro workers on the Mississippi Flood Con trol Project and in the Tennessee Val ley. Other projected activities for 1935 j are an exhibition of paintings and | drawings with lynching ;adult educa , tion schools under supervision of the j branches dealing with racial history iand problems; the establishment of at : least one regional office; more direct participation by the branches in the j electon of board members and formu | lation of association policies; contin ; ueed campaign for the passage of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill and greater effort to obtain a fair deal for Negro workers in the NRA, FE RA, and on PWA projects. a . i ■rmiuujj me outstanding activities of 1934, Mr. White cited the greatly increasing militancy of the Associa tion as reflected in the picketing of the American Federation of Labor Convention and the National Crime Conference; the increasing coopera tion of outside organizations as shown by the support of the Costigan-Wag ner anti-lynching bill by organiza tions representing 42,000,000 Ameri can citizens; the splitting of the op position to the bill, the large attend ance at the hearings in Washington, D. C., which were nationally broad cast and the aid rendered by news commentators like Boake Carter, Ga briel Heatter and Lowell Thomas. The demand for new branches was the greatest on record, according o the secretar.'#. There were 106 requests from all parts of the country during the year. Twenty-three new branches were established and sixteen reor ganized. There was also a marked gain in financial support from the branches in 1934 over the 1933 total, from outside sources and from the American Fund for Public Service. A large part of the N. A. A. C. P. efforts was directed against violations of NR A codes affecting Negro work ers, opposing code differentials dis criminating against black labor and the widespread deprivation of crop re duction bonuses under the AAA due Negro tenants and sharecroppers but appropriated by white landlords. In addition it handled numerous com plaints of color discrimination by the CWA, PWA, FERA, Homestead Sub sistence Bureau and other New Deal agencies. The association said Mr. White, suc ceeded for the third time in seven years in defeating the Texas white primary when it won a favorable de cision in the U. S. court for the wes tern district of Texas in February, legally accordng qualified Negro vot ers the right to register and vote in the Democratic primaries in Texas. He scored Chairman James A. Farley of the Democratic National Commit tee, for failing to act when warned of wholesale violations of this decision and two previous ones rendered by the U. S. supreme court, and attorney General Homer S. Cumm.ings for his failure to prosecute guilty Texas election officials despite submitted affidavits testifying to Negro exclus ion at the July and August primaries; and also for his failure to act in the Claude Neal kidnap-lynching at Mar ianna, Fla., October 26, 1934, under the so-called Lindbergh law. He pointed also to the successful termi nation of the N. A. A. C. P. 4-year fight on the senators who voted for the confirmation of Judge John J. Par ker of North Carolina to the U. S. su preme court bench, citing Reed of Pennsylvania, Walcott of Connecticut, Kean of New Jersey, Hatfield of West \ irginia, Patterson of Missouri and Fess of Ohio, as senators defeated largely by Negro votes. In addition to the fight for the Cos tigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, the association investigated lynchings at Clnton, S. C., Columbia, Tenn. and Marianna, Fla., while its legal de fense aided many poor and friendless colored people. COLORED EMERGENCY NURSERY SCHOOLS IN FLORIDA With regard to colored nursery schools in Florida, the following para graph Is a quotation from a letter re ceived under date of January 7th signed by the Director of Education for the State Relief Administration: “We have eight colored Nursery Schools at the present time. The small number in operation is due mainly to the inability of the colored communities to provide the necessary facilities. There is a demand for ad ditional units, but we cannot furnish them unless our quota is increased.” Where Lightning Strike* Not only the height of a building or of a tree, but also the nature of the ground on which It rests, ts of prime Importance in determining whether It ■v&ll be struck by lightning; Affect the Luigi Thirteen different fungi which maj iffect the lungs and produce symp toms like those of tuberculosis hnvi been described.

Mitchell “every considera tion customarily shown a member of Congress ” according to the editorial opinion of two of the South’s impor tant daily papers. He has precisely the same right in Congress that other men have, according to these editors, and should be treated accordingly. The statements referred to appeared shortly before Congress met in the following editorial from the Daily Journal of Dallas, Texas, quoting the Chattanooga Times: “WHAT ought a Southern gentle man who happens likewise to be a white Congressman to do when he finds himself seated in the same chamber with a Negro who is also a Congressman and also a Democrat? The Chattanooga Times says some thing on the subject: Let it be said that the pres ence of a Negro Congressman on the Democratic side of the House of Representatives cannot prop erly be taken as raising the ques tion of social equality. It will be most unfortunate if Representa tive Mitchell and other Demo cratic Congressmen and officials should permit the question to ob trude itself in their thinking and influence their conduct. ‘ ‘Arthur W. Mitchell has been elected to the House to serve his constituents and the Nation in matters of government. Other Democratic Congressmen and of ficials shoud accord the Negro Congressman, in matters relating to Government, every considera tion customarily shown those of their own color.’ “In short, the Tennessee paper feels that the Negro from >!llinois has the same right in Congress that the white man from Tennessee has. And it expects a gentleman from Tennes see to be gentleman enough not to take advantage of the Negro’s color in order to insult or belittle him in his performance of his duties as a public servant. Surely the code of courtesy and consideration in the South is big enough to manage that. He whose status as a gentleman is so parlous that he has constantly to be making a row about it is usually of dubious standing after, as well as before the row. The sum of it is that a man chooses his own table companions but not the fellow-occupants of public places.” CHARLES H. HOUSTON IS NAMED SPECIAL COUN SEL BY N. A. A. C. P. Vice Dean of Howard Law School To Handle Special Work Against Un equal Education Laws Under Joint Committee of N. A. A. C. P. and Ameri caa Fund. New York, Jan. 25.—Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard uni j versity law school, has been selected [ as special counsel to handle a legal campaign against unequal educatonal facilities and some phases of jim crow transportation, it was announced here todayi by the Natioaal Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Houston will work under a joint committee of the N. A. A. C. P. and the American Fund for Public Service. The latter organization has contributed a special fund to carry on the work. Mr. Houston takes the place of Nathan R. Margold, who did all the preliminary work several years ago. Mr. Margold was released as special counsel to permit him to accept ap pointment as solicitor of the Depart ment of the Interior. At the time he made hs complete outline of the legal campaign, a much larger sum had been promised for the work. The de pression cut the appropriation to less than one-fourth of the original amount and the program had to be cut down accordingly. For the time being, Mr. Houston will be on part time only, as he will begin full time work July 1 on a leave of absence from the university. Mr. Houston has been active in N. A. A. C. P. legal cases as a member of he national legal committee. At pres ent he is handling the appeal to the U. S. supreme court in the Jess Hol lins case from Oklahoma. He was active in directing the picketing of the national crime conference in Washington in December.
