    With The Congress
On Opening Night
(Confirmed From Pape One)
was Dr. A. O. Pall, prominent
local Catholic leader and then
too we must not forget that
Hon. Lij Zaphiro, Ethiopian
minister and Colonel Hubert
Fauntleroy Julian, erstwhile
“Black Eagle of the Ethiopian
aviation corps” who have at
various times expressed varied
opinions as to Tthiopia's chanc
es to win the war with Italy
were apparently the “host of
friends.”
While termed a Negro Con
gress the opening session was
attended by a large number of
whites and many little pale
faced girls mostly of foreign
extraction were much in evi
dence wonding their way
through the throng selling
pamphlets and what-not while
the membership buttons were
being sold by girls of a darker
hue. This situation made those
who attended the Communist
meeting on the Soutliside feel
at home.
An unfortunate part or the
staging of the Congress lay in
the selection of the opening
session being held on Friday
evening the meeting night of
various Chicago ward political
organizations, thus many of the
"Big Shots' were not able to
be present, especially with the
coming primaries in April, They
will be there, however, before
the Congress is brought to a
close.
Mary political candidates!
took the opportunity to express
their "profound interest in the
future of the Negro and their
respect for the accomplishments
and contributions of the race’’
in greetings which were read at
the opening session. Mayor F,d
ward «T. Kelly, who was slated
to welcome the delegates was
out of the city and his repre
sentative Judge Joseph Burke
was "called home suddenly be
fore the meeting was called on
account of the illness of his
sister, according to the an
nouncement from the platform.
The announcement brought
forth much laughter as the re
port had been circulated that
the judge had withdrawn, along
with Robert S. Abbott for other
reasons. To add further to the
absences was that of the pres
ident of the Congress- A.
Phillip Randolph who was forc
ed to remain in New York on
account of il'ness. TTis scholar
ly address was read by the
chairman.
Mr. Zaphiro won his hearers
with his eloquent portrayal of
the hostory of Ehiopin. He made
a triumphal entre’ along with
the promoters of the Congress
led by the bearer of the Ethi
opian flag which was displayed
from the platform. Following
his address, with Police Lieu
tenant William Middleton lead
ing the interference and with
several skillful and armed
“blockers” he was rushed
through the corridor to an
awaiting automobile causing
much commotion among the
boys anl gals who preferred to
stand in the hallway and hold
hands rather than learning
about the plight of the race.
Interest in the Congress is
shown in the large number oi
delegates who slipped and
sliled over the icy streets St
urday. morning to attend tin
morning session which was com
posed of various “group ses
sions”, the largest gatherin':
however was held in the Rogi
mental canteen whore coffee, to;
and other liquids are served
Yes sir, the canteen will not b<
in the “red” this month.
“Congressmen’' from all so
cial, civic, and religious organ
izations are present but casual
observation leads to the belie!
that the Baptists are in the lead,
Among the Congressmen were
brain-trusters such as Lieuten
ant Lawrence A. Oxley, Joseph
H. B. Evans and George Cohron,
Lester B. Granger Assemblyman
W. T. Andrews, New York, the
martyr of Georgia justice. An
gelo Tlemdon and one of his
firt attorneys and now a mem
ber of the staff of the Daily
Worker, Benjamin Davis, Jr.,
and Uev. Jernagin of Washing
ton, one of the sponsors.
Whites are taking an active
part in the proceedings. At
the headquarters at Poro col
lege many of the workers are
white and at the opening ses
sion the monies were collected
mainly by white ushers, the
press room Ls under the direc
tion of a white man and a large
number of white reporters were
gathered around the press table
in the convention hall, mingling
in “brotherly fashion” with the
Large number of reporters from
Negro papers including several
out of town publications. A
large number of white delegates
of both sexes are present.
John P. Davis, one of the
prominent factors in the promo
tion of the Congress worked
hard essaying to secure the co
operation and support of local
Negro citizens of all classes In
cluding the intelligentsia but
most of them were too busy to
take any active part, but assur
ed him of their moral support.
On the other hand when he
turned to liberal-minded whites
many of them of the l niversity
of Chicago group and from
these received whole-hearted
' support, so that A fro-Ameri
cans have little justice in their
complaint relative to the active
interest being shown by the
white group or the active part
they are taking in the carrying
out of the program.
While the findings of the emi
gres will perhaps not be made
public for sometime, it is the
impressive signs adorning the
walls of the armory portend
what the Congress wants.
Among the banners were:
“Jobs and adequate relief for
a million destitute Negro fam
ilies.’*
‘‘End -Tim Crowism in the
American Federation of Dabo*
"Equal Rights for Negro wo
men and youth.”
"Defend Ethoipia from Fas
cist Invasion.”
The last listed might, have
been termed the real slogan of
the Congress which had a dis
tinct "Pro-Etliiopian” color
which was fruthcr evidenced bv
the dwindling of the vast aud
ience following the address and
departure of Mr. Zaphiro.
Plan Douglass
Celebration
Next Year
Nashville, Teim., Feb. 19, (ANP)
Mrs. Mattie Li Napier, president
of the Douglass Memorial and His
torical Society, issued an announce
ment here this week, stating that
the Association contemplates a
nation!-wide observance of the
120th anniversary of the birth of
Frederick Douglass in -February,
1937. Mr. Douglass was born in
1817, and it is conceded that,
measured from the standpoint of
his humbleness of birth together
with his matchless accomplish
ments as a s tatesman, he holds a
position of the most remarkable
lender of the Negro race, as well
as that of peer of the other great
men of his time- It is thought that
all lovers of liberty will welcome
an opportunity to pay deserved
tribute to his memory in the month
of his birth next year.

9 Governors Fail To
Answer Lynch Query
New York, Feb- 19 (C)—Only
five of the fourteen governors
written by Dr. James E- Shepard,
Durham, N. C., college president
urging that they take a strong
stand against lynching , have en
swered the query sent them
by Calvin’s Newspaper Ser
vice on their reactions to
the puery sent them by Calvin’s
Newspaper Service on their reac- t
Dr. Shepard’s letter The gov
ernors not heard from to date
are Alfred of Texas, Conner of
Mississippi tterm expired), Al
len of Louisiana, (since deceased),
Caffoon of Kentucky, (term expir
ed), McAllister of Tennessee who
stopped a mob with troops, T»l
madge of Georgia, Graves of Ala
bama, Marland of Oklahoma, and
Johnston of South Carolina.
The governors who answered
promptly, sending a copy of their |
letter to Dr. Shepard were Peery
of Virginia, Ehringhaus of North
Carolina, Nice of Maryland, Sholtz
of Florida, and Futrell of Arkan
sas. Governors Peery, Ehringhaus
and Sholtz answered the queries
personally, while Nice and Futrell
replied through their secretaries.
Governor Nice’s secretary explain
ed the chief executive was in a
hospital at the time the query was
received.

Of Hospital Assn.
(Continued from Pape 1)
are 110 hospitals registered by
the American Hospital associa
tion as being able, although not
ns adequately as desired, to care
for Negro patients. It is true
that in our Southern states
there is an ill-distribution of Ne
gro physicians—likewise hospi
tal facilities are not adequate.
“Missouri alone for years b°
taken care of practically one
lia'f of the Negro graduates in
medicine each year. Kansas C‘
takes 15 internes, St. Louis, 20;
and now with St. Mary’s in St
[Louis five more can be taken
care of."
Lists Advances
Tn answer to Rev. Carnegie’s
charge that modem -facilities
were not available for Negro
doctors, the official stated that
at Knoxville, Tenn., qualified
Negroes could become staff
members of the Municipal hos
pital but those available were
scarce. One being sent to Yale
to study internal medicine and
Chenault is being taken from
Provident in Chicago for cer
tain special work, lie listed sev
eral “stand-out’’ hospital heads
and declared “no lay individual
has enough understanding of
our problems to conceive a
workable plan.’’
The need of well trained
physicians for Dixie was em
phasized, but it was pointed
out that very few will go south
and the majority will not im
prove themselves by further
study. Most do not see the wis
dom of organization, as out of
4,000 Negro physicians only 400
attend the conventions, accord
ing to Dr. Perry* who added his
organization is attempting to
have Negro physicians ap
pointed in all municipal hos
pitals treating Negro patients.

N. C. Teachers To
Get Raise This Year
Raleigh, N. C„ Feb. 19 (C)~
Negro teachers of North Carolina
will get a new raise in pay in Sep
eember, making a total increase of
25 per cent over 1934, says Dr- N
C Newbold, director of Negro edu
cation, in a special statement to
Calvin’s Newspaper Service. Dr
Newbold gave a lengthy answer
to the Calvin inquiry sent to the
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion of North Carolina, on points
of improvement last year, and the
prospects for this year.
In his statement Dr. Newbold list
ed eight points of improvement in
1935, and six points on which im
provement is expected this year
For 1936 he lists:
1. Another five per cent blan
ket increase in salaries will be given
in September, making a total of 25
percent increase over 1934.
2- Fifteen additional high shools
are being nursed for the purpose
of accreditment in June.
i College enrollments will go
well beyond 4,000 next fall.
4 Plans have been made by the
county and city units for consider
able additional school buildi"g ac
tivities in 1936.
5 It is expected there will be a
slight increase in the percentage of
school children in eight months or
longer term schools than the per
centage indicated for 1936
6 >Tt is also reasonable to ex
pect that an increase will be made
in the number of busses for the
transportation of children in Sep
tember.
Surveying improvements made
in 1935, Dr Newbold listed:
1 Report of the Governor’s
Commission to Study Problems in
the Education of Negroes” was
published early in the year.
2 The State Legislature, meet
ing in January, increased (a) all
teachers’ salaries bcgining in Sep
tember, twenty per cent; (b) ap
propriations to Negro Colleges and
Normal Schools were increased in
some instances fifty to sixty per
cent.
3 Six additional high chools
were atferedited, making 120 such
schools in the state. Enrollments
for the year passed the 25,000
mark. The State School Commis
sio1' approved 47 new or bcgining
high schools in one day last sum
mer and allotted teachers for
them.
4 New busses for transport
ing Nagro children added in the
year —40 to 50.
6 Eighty to ninety per cent of
the children attended schools of
eight months or longer
6 Six thousand, five hundred
teachers achieved an average rat
ing of 2 1-2 years of college train
ing.
7 College enrollment increased
from approximately 3,000 to 3,800
plus.
8 Considerable new building of
school houses with aid from the
