College Student Aid
“0; dlege Projects for Aiding

noedy students. It discusses money

tho institutions or devised by stu
dents, describes projects to reduce
student living costs, and tells about
outstanding self-help college pro

SEES DRASTIC CUT IN RELIEF
AFTE RAPRIL 1
Washington, Feb. 23 (ANP) —
Unless President Roosevelt suc
ceeds in getting congress to re
store the $150,000,000 lopped off
his requested relief appropriation,
drastic reductions in relief rolls
will become necessary afteh April
1. WPA Administrator Francis C.
Harrington declared last week.
■will become necessary after April
1. WPA rolls will be maintained
at approximately their present
level of 3,000,000 persons. He
also declared that relief hence
forth would be divorced from po
litics and asserted the white-col
la« projects would be continued.
The contemplated reduction in
relief rolls is expected to work a
severe hardship upon colored job
less who through inability to ob
tain private employment and low
economic status are obtaining work
and direct relief out of proportion
to their percentage of the popu
lation. They are expected to. be
especially hard hit in the South,
where it is not likely that Negroes
will get any share of the WPA
jobs where they are many needy
whites.

CHICAGO NAACP
ASKS APOLOGY
For Term Used in the
“Monthly Bulletin”
Chicago, Feb., 23 (ANP)—After
reading a joke in the "Monthly
Bulletin,** official publication of
the Municipal Employes society, in
which the term “n——r” was used,
officials of the Chicago branch
NAACP demanded that ths edi
tor of the magazine publish an
official apology and further asked
tho officials of the association and
Mayor Edward J. Kelley to insist
that such an apology be published
in the next issue of the magazine.
A large number of Negroes are
members of the Municipal Employ
es society and their indignation ran
high when the references greeted
them in their own magazine. Of
ficials pointed out that the use
of "Christ-killers and kike” for
Jews, “dagoes” for Italians, “bo
huncks” for Poles and no and was
not used to refer to these races,
and that it was generally known
that the word “n-r’* was only
used when there was an inf.mtion
to insult the colored race and there
fore an apology wa3 in order on
tho part of all officials of the so
ciety.
! AUDIENCES WILL NOT SEE
A MOVIE TYPE NEWSHAWK
BUT POLISHED SPEAKER
Omaha, Nefcr., Feb. 23-—When
H. V. Kaltenborn, the author, au
thority on world affairs and radio
nows commentator appears in Om
aha, March 20 for a lecture on
world affairs at Technical high
school’s auditorium, the audiences
will not see a movie type news
hawk.
Instead they will see and hear
a polished speaker and America’s
shrewdest news commentator. Ev- j
er since his student days at Har
vard, Mr. Kaltenborn has been win
ning honors because of his speak
ing ability.
As associate editor of the Brook
lyn Eagle. Mr. Kaltenborn in the
early days of radio packed that pa
ner’s auditorium each week a8 he
lectured on current events.
It was his ability to attract large
crowds at these lectures which re
sulted in Mr. Kaltenborn’s stepping
into radio in 1922.
Typical of newshawks, who have
advanced far in Che journalism pro
fession, Mr. Kaltenborn still con
siders himself as a reporter.
The acclaim Mr. Kaltenborn re
ceived after his war crisis broad
cast last fall was shocking to him.
“Why I have been doing the
samo sort of reporting for years”,
ho said as letters, telegrams, med
als, and syecial citat'ons flooded his
New York home.
He says his broadcast in 1936 at
the Spanish war front to him was
far more sepctacular than his cris
is broadcast whieh won him so
many special honors.
For Ms broadcast of the Spanish
war which was the first actual war
to be carried on the airlines to this
country, Mr, Kaltenborn crouched
for nine hours in a bullet-pierced
haystack between the two armies
waiting word that his connection
had been completed for the broad
cast. His words were punctuated
with artillery fire as his descrip
tion of the battle was carried into
American homes.
Ml*. Kaltenborn, who Is being
brought to Omaha for March 20
lecture at Tedh high School by the
Omaha Post of the American le
gion, just recently became assi«V
hnt editor and foreign news advis
or for the Pathe Ncwb. He will
continue his broadcasting services
a8 news commentator for the Col
umbia Broadcasting System with
whom he has been associated for
more than 10 years.
Tickets are being sold for the
Kaltenborn lecture at the American
Legion headquarters in the Omaha
City Hall. All seats are $1. Mail
orders are being promptly filled.
There will be no reserved seats for
this outstanding lecture.
