North Missouri
Methodists Hold
54th Session
St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. 9, (ANP)
—Reports made at the 54th an
nual session of the North Mis
souri A. M. E. Conference, which
closed here Thursday, showed that
despite the depression that
churches throughout the district
are reducing their indebtedness
and carrying on constructive work
financially.
Returning to the church, Eb
enezer, A. M. E. church, which he
pastored 27 years ago, Bishop
John A. Gregg, presided over the
conference and praised the min
isters under his direction for the
work that was being accom
plished, which showed that during
the past year almost $809 had
been raised for the promotion of
education, $2,000 for other pur
poses and that several of the
churches represented had held
“mortgage burnings.”
Rivalling the reports in im
portance was the election of dele
gates to the Quadrennial Gener
al Conference to be held in New

gates elected were: J. A. Chand
ley, L. F. Green, F. F. Moten, and
M. S. Smith, with Jos. Rankue,
E. H. Holiday and A. J. Bell as
alternates.
The conference went on record
as reaffirming confidence in
Bishop Gregg and pledging itself
to the program being carried out
by him throughout the diocesa
and especially at Western Uni
versity and as endorsing Dr.
Joseph Gomez for the bishopric
and Rev. F. F. Moten for secre
tary of missions and R. A. Adams
for editor of the A. M. E. Re
view.
Airong the visitors at the con
ference were: Dr. J. H. Clay

Silent On WPA
New York, Nov. 9—Despite ef
forts of the NAACP and corre
respondents for Washington and
Baltimore newspapers to get the
“low-down” on the appointment in
the WPA which has offered to
James Weldon Johnson and then
suddenly recalled after it was- ac
cepted. officials in Washington
remained silent
Miss Frances Perkins, Secre
tary of Labor, has stated in a let
ter to the NAACP, that the re
port that she opposed Mr. John
son's appoinment was “without
foundation.” The report was pub
lished in the syndicated news:
paper column, “Washington Mer
ry-Go-Round,” written by Robert
Allen and Drew Pearson. Direct
inquiry to the office of Harry L.
Hopkins, WPA Administrator,
was referred to Alfred Edgar
Smith, colored member on the
staff, who wrote the NAACP that
the WPA “has no official inform
ation on this matter as it is re
ported, and is unable to comment
on its veracity.”
Mr. Johnson, Fisk university
professor of creative literature,
and visiting professor this fall at
New York university, was of
fered a position upon the Labor
Advisory Board in the WPA. He
stated that he could accept the of
fei only if it did not interfere
with his Fisk university work and
if he had real authority. He was
reassured on both these points,
and accepted, only to have the of
fer withdrawn without any reason
being given. It has been learned
i rom Mr. Johnson that a consid
erable part of the negotiations
took place over long distance tele
phone.

Soviet Scientists
Explode ‘White
Superority Treory
Leningrad, U. S. S. R., Nov.
9.—Soviet scientists of the
Bekhteroff Institute of the
Brain, blasted the props under
the “theory of the inferiority
of darker races’’ when they
announced their findings of
the examination of more than
500 brains of white and col'
ored people.
The “ape-like ridges” in the
brain of dark skinned people,
which makes for inferiority
according to “scientists’ con
trolled by big business inter"
ests, were found in the brains
of many distinguished scien
tists and of many persons of
European stock, declared Pro
fessor L. G. Weber, assistant
director of the Institute.
Italian Seamen Re

Arms to Africa
Paris, France, Nov. 9.—Fe"
spite the strict Italian fascist
censorship of news, word
reached here this week that
Italian sailors walked off
three ships in an attempt to
halt transportation of muni
tions and troops to East
Africa.
The crew of two boats in the
port of Naples demanded to be
paid off, declaring that “they
would no longer sail on ships
going to East Africa.” A
similar demand was made by
the crew of the transport,
“Liguria.” The vesel was
loading in Genoa for Red Sea
ports and when about to said,
the seamen signed off.

could not have happened from

by accident.
Lustgarten could not be
reached for a statement but he
is well known on the North
side and has been the silent
partner in several business
ventures in which he invested
capital and stock for his part

Witnesses who were in front
of the store at the time of the
explosion claim that they saw
no one enter or leave the prem

Further investigations will be
continued by the sheriff’s of'

the mystery which surrounds
the blast.

member of the New York
Guild.
In the October 29th issue of
the scab-edited paper appeared
an article in which Mrs. Davis
denounced labor unions in
which Negro and white mem
bers were admitted on a basis
of equality, as in the News
paper Guild. She labelled the
Guild a “white man’s guild.”
Publisers Called Hypocrites
A group of outstanding Har
lem citizens promptly issued a
statement vigorously denying
Mrs. Davis’ accusations against
Negro and white labor unions
and charging her with “trying
to hide behind the race issue to
explain the unjustifiable fir
ing of fifteen organized em
ployees'’. The statement also
deelard that Mrs. Davis’ at'
tack “exposes in its true light
the fake pro-labor’ policy
which the publishers have
boasted in the past.’’
Outlining the purposes of the
Guild in the labor dispute the
statement continued further.
“The Guild isn’t trying to
‘take over’ the paper. The Guild
isn’t trying to put it out of
business. It is trying to secure
the reinstatement of 17 unfair
ly discharged workers and rec'
ognition of their union.”
The citizens’ statement was
signed by Rev. Adam C. Powell
Jr., pastor Abyssinian Baptist
church; Walter White, Secre
tary NAACP; Aaron Douglas,
artist; Bessye Bearden, Social
and Civic leader; Ashley L.
Totten, National secretary and
treasurer, Brotherhood Sleeping
Car Porters; Lester B. Grang
er, Secretary Workers Bureau,
National Urban League; and
many others.
Kicked Out 17 Employees
The campaign for the rein
statement of the fifteen mern'i
bers of the Guild entered its
fourth week last Wednesday. It
arose when Mrs. Sadie Warren
Davis, discharged and locked
out her editorial staff for mem
bership in the Guild.
All but five local advertisers
in the Amsterdam News have
withdrawn their advertisement
from the paper in sympathy
with the discharged employees.
Wide support is being given
the staff by Harlem and the or
ganized labor movement.

Pegg
Mrs. Green’s body was
turne dover to the Myers Fun
eral Home where it was pre
pared for shipment to Kansas
City for interment. This early
shipment of the body caused
the legal contention decided
Wednesday by Judge Noble.
Atorney Adams held that the
holding of the inquest was
manadatory on the part of the
coroner. The prosecuting at'
torney took the opposite view.
A brilliant legal battle ensued
and ended with the decision of
Judge Neble that the defense
attorney was right in his con
tentions and that the defend
ant's constitutional rights
would be violated and due
process of law denied hi s
cause.
On deciding the question
Judge Neble stated that this
wa sthe first time that the is
sue had been raised before a
munieipa ljudge. The prose
cuting attorney stated that
the case will be carried to the
County Court where a similar
effort will be made to convict
Holilns. If the defendant’s at
torneys are successful in this
court the body will then have
to be exhumed and an inquest
held.
