white, 5G year old brother-in
law of Dr. Alice Wynekoop,
who was central figure in a
sensational murder trial a, few
years ago, was Thursday com
mitted to the state hospital at
Elgin by Judge James M. Cor
coran, sitting in county court
at the psychopathic hospital.
The elderly physician con
stantly interrupted court pro
ceedings to clyurge he was be
ing “prosecuted and railroad
ed.”
If a charge such as attemp
ed criminal attack had been
placed against this man instea
of the minor charge of disor
derly conduct, lie could be tak
en from the criminal court and
sentenced for a longer perin '
if not for the rest of his life.
Mon like this should he kept
off the streets,*’ said Judy
Corcoran.
Dr. Wynekoop was recently
released from the hospital at
Menard. Committment to El

the physician will be released
again whenever doctors there
pronounce him “cured.” Dr.

koop is suffering from maniac

persecution complex.
Soon after his release from I
Menard, the aged doctor adver

EDWARD LAWSON
Washington—It looks as though
the lowest-paid employees of the
government—the messengers, care
takers, cleaners, and elevator op
erators—at last are going to get a
break. The MeCarran bill, provid- (
ing a $1,500 minimum wage for all
government employees, was looked
upon as something of a joke a few
months ago, but gathering senti
ntent in Congress seems augur well
for its passage in the not-far-distant
future. If it goes through It will be
a gcdsend to many thousands of
workers—most of them colored—
who have found it next to imposs
ible to struggle along tu the cur
rent basic salary of $1,080 per year
(a few cents over $20 per week).
While employees unions and in
fluential IndivduaJs have placed the
weight of their influence behind the
bill are working vigorously for Its
passage In the near future, some
adjustments already have been ef
fected.
A few weeks ag»f for instance,
Dr. Robert C- Weaver, Advisor on
Negro Affairs to Secretary of the
Interior Iekes, went to bat for the
96 messengers employed in the In
terior department Building by the
Public Works Administration, and
succeeded in having their basic sal
ary hiked from $1,080 to $1,200 per
year. Not content with that, he saw
to it that eleven of them received
deserved promotions to clerical
status at higher pay, and that one
messenger- chauffer was raised to
the grade of photographer’s assis
tant.
Other Negro advisors through
out the administration have been
Instrumental in effecting raises
and reclassifications for the low
salapiod help in tjhWr buildings,
but none on so large a scale. They
are all expected to support the
$1,500 wage minimum wage bill,
having adopted it as a part of their
program in the course of the re
cent Conference on the Problems of
the Negro.
The forthcoming Washington ed
ition of the American Guido will
take a few well-deserved swipes at

the Capital CHy, particularly at
:he needlessly high cost of Its se
gregated school system, the fall
jr» of many of its churches to hold
heir congregations, and the pau
dty of its amusement facilities for
Negroes In the face of an absolute
?olor bar In all “downtown” thea
res and dance halls.
At. the same time, It will con
;aln a wealth of information about
Negroes in Washington, outlining
heir history and achievements, and
•asting interesting sidelights on
heir daily activities.
Among other things, It wfll tell'
he story of the growth of Howard
tnlverslty to its present eminence,
md point out to the casual travel
er hundreds of points that are of
ntertest chiefly because of the part
hey played in the development of
Negro America.
Th*'se who have scanned the ad
vance proof sheets believe It will
•nntaln some of the finest word
sketches of Negro Washington ever
produced. Cleverly composed, the
trenchant sarcasm of the several
essays on Negro life digs deep.
1'hetr conclusion in a book will go
into the hands of thousands cf lo
cals and hundreds of thousands of
visitors should have a profound ef
fect.
