The United States Department denied this week that the Government us s its passport agency as a lever to discourage American Negroes from traveling abroad. The denial was contained in a letter sent to tho National Assoc iation for the Advancement of' Colored People by John Scanlan, acting chief of the State Depart ment’s passport division, and made public by tho Association today. The NAACP. had complained that colored travelers on ships out of New York were subjected to much detailed questioning a* t* their financial ability, their em ployment, bank accounts, cash, on hand, etc. before U. S. offic. ials would issue passports tc them. Because American liepresenta tives of the United States in for eign countries have reported “tho cases of a lagre number of American citizens abroad who have become stranded abroad without funds,” the State depart ment wrote the NAACP., the Uni ted States has adopted the policy of giving enreful scrutiny to the financial condition of passport ap plicants who the examint rs “sus pect—may not have sufficient funds for—maintenance while a bread." inis ruiin'i, wie ivticr in no wise intended to discrimin ate against any American citizen, irrespective of his race or color.’ Not content with this reply, the NAACP. has written again to the department citing the fact that tho Young woman who made the original complaint hud a certified round trip ticket and her financial status had been investigated and approved by the tourist agency from whom she bougjit her tick et. All this information was sent to the passport bureau before tho lady applied for her passport— and still she was questioned at great length and only received her passport after a desperate last minute appeal directly to Secre tary Hull. “IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL” MAYO’S BARBER SHOP Ladies and Children’s Work A Specialty —2122 Imke Street— Get Money -• Love I guarantee to help you set a iUrt to tlfu.

This time the bal lot comes from none other than the great Dizzy himself, incapac itated ace of the Chicago Cubs pitching staff, who writes a daily column for one of the local after noon papers. At the same time, Dizzy lamented the absence of star colored players from the big league s. Said Dean in Thursday's col umn—■ * A bunch of the fellows get in a barber session the other day and they start to argo* abort whose the best pitcher they ever see. and some says Kfty Grove and Lefty Gomez and Walter Johnson and old Pete Alexander and Dizzy Vance. “And they mention Lonnie Warneke and Van Mungo and Carl Hubbell, and Johnny Cori riden tells us about Matty, and he sure must of been great, and some of the hoys even say old Diz is the best they ever see. ‘ But I sc.* all them fellows but Matty and Johnson, and I know whose the best pitcher I ever see and its old Satchel Page, that big lanky colored boy. Say, old Diz is pretty fast back i nllw and 1934, ard you know my fast ball looks like a change of pace along side that little pistol bullet old Satchel shoots up to the plate. And I really knew something a bout it, because for four, five y ars, I toured around at the end of the seaso nwith All Star teams and I see plenty of old Satch. “Ho sure is a pistol. Its too bad those colored boys don’t play in tho big leagues, because they sure got some great players. That fellow Duncan which catches for Kansas City is most as good r catcher as Gabby Hartnett and I can't say no more than that a catcher. “I sure get a kick out of him. One time when I pitch against a Southern all.star colored team for a Northern all-star team, and Duncan catches me, and he has a glove that makes that old ball pop, and he makes my pitch sound like a rifle shot, and he tells them hitters, ‘boy, don’t get near that plate. Don’t let that ball hit you, or it kills you. “And can they play around that infield. Say, the way they flip that ball around, you don’t knew where it is half the time. “Anyways, that skinny old Sat chel Page with those long arms is my idea of the pitcher with the greatest stuff ever I see.” Patronize Our Advertisers Chicago’s All Negro Town Robbin, III., A Rising Community CHICAGO, Sept. 22 (ANP) — Consideration of the general prob lem of Negro housing and efforts of the National Technical Assoc iation to have Negro engineers and architects employed on the proposed PWA South Park Gar dens for Negroes here, turned pub. lie attention this week to the all- j Negro town of Robbins, 111., to see what success residents there have had fa solving their housing and other civic problems. Located on the far Southwest side of the city, Robbins has an era of about two square miles. It runs North and South, from 135th Sc. to 143rd, and East and West from Sacremerto ave., to Central Park ave. The nearby village of Posen has 95 percent Polish resi dents. There an* 11 churches, with the 12th now under construction. Most picturesque Robbins resident is 100 year old Thomas Harton, the oldest citizen who lives in a little house constructed by himself. Most all of the homes in the vil lage l.a'e small, well kept gar dens and the citizens have great civic pride. For the past 15 years Leroy P. Thomas has been the postmaster and he fills his office with credit. Aside from Mayor Richardson,1 whoso daytime job is deputy sher-\ iff in the office of John Toman, other Robbins officials are: O. W. Moore, village clerk; Frank Ed ward Brown, R. L. Allen, David Fox and Frank Beard. LOUIS, MANAGERS DENY BRADDOCK HAS PART OF CHAMPION CONTRACT j Chicago, Sept. 22 (ANP—De spite statements by Columnist Joe Williams tnf o-uei white sports writers who have said in print that James J. Braddoek “positi vely” has part of Champion Joe Louis’ contract, the fighter and his two managers, Julian Black and John Roxborough,just as “po sitively” denied such Monday. According to Williams and oth ers whenever Louis collects, so does the man from whom he won the title. Braddoek is supposed to draw 10 per cent of every purse Joe gets as long as he holds the crown. But the champion and his mana gers stated that no such contract or arrangement exists. They said that the same arrangement holds good r.ow that he has held good in the past: that is, Joe himself gets 50 per cent, the managers 20 per cent each and Jack Blackburn, trainer the remaining 10 per cent. They said also Mike Jacobs does r.ot “control” Louis, but merely has a contract for exclusive pro motion of all the champion’s fights.
