THRU THE Darkness I Qob by F> C I Oue williams A NEEDED SUGGESTION—May or Maury Maverick of San Antonio Texas, who recently welcomed in convention the Kappa Alpha Psi when they met in that city, is visit ing in California. While here, we would like the Texas Mayor to sug gest to the Mayor of Los Angeles, that it is an exhibition of real Am ericanism to recognize all groups, races and creeds. That’s something Mayor Bowron should know as he failed to avail himself of an oppor tunity to prove his Americanism by not recognizing and appreciating the invitation extended to him to deliver a welcoming address to the National Baptist when they conven ed in his city last September. “MUSIC HATH CHARMS” Fletcher Henderson, the accompl ished pianist is now arranging all of the music played by the famous Goodman Band. This is recognit ion for the Negro in the World of Music, a fact that Goodman appre ciates ability. Another member of our race in the news, prominent in the world of music is Maceo Pink ard, a native of Bluefield, West, Va. He has just released four new songs through the Major broadcasting net work which are being published by the Pinkard Publications of New York City.

Rosevelt turned thumbs down on the return of the bustle and wasp waist, we noticed the fashion designers followed the cue for the bustle never became popular. But when she says she did not influence the President to change the date of Thanksgiving, we wonder if she was conscious of just how much her view point would affect the actions of her husband. WELCOME NEWS:—In a recent statement, coming out of France, that the Allies do not want Amer ican manpower, the people of this country heaved a sigh of relief, we are willing to furnish supplies to any of the European powers as long as our neutrality is not violated, but we are absolutely opposed to sacrifice the youth of our country to help squabling Europe to settle its selfish quarrels. MOTHER’S SOOTHING SONG — 'ish tune, “Roeka-bye Baby” the country’s oldest Lullaby familiar to us and children of generations gone ,was improvised by a 15 year old girl back in Massachusetts. Mrs. Effie I. Canning Carlton, now 66, and who lies dangerously ill in a hospital, stricken with a cerebal hemorrhage as she viewed the mo tion picture featuring the famous lullaby.

He was describing the international famous singer and dancer, Josephine Baker, born in St. Louis, Mo., U. S. A., who has completed a tour among the French soldiers in their various fortified lo cations. Josephine Baker is mar ried to a French soldier now in ser vice and her song, “J’ai deaux am ours” (“I Have Two Loves”) cer tainly fits the occasion, for al though married to France, Miss Baker still belongs to the United States. She will soon open in a new revue at the Casino de Paris in the City where she is a most popu lar favorite. RATING THE RECORDS (by Frank Marshall Davis for AND) Parade of the Blues— Those who like their music indigo tinted ought to enjoy this week’s releases for they range from fast blues of boogie-woogie type down to mean slow drags. Heading the list is a 12 inch Blue Note by the Kansas City b. w. expert, Pete Johnson. Titles are HOLLER STOMP and YOU DON’T KNOW MY MIND. Add the first side to that special niche reserved for “Pine Top’s Boogie Woogie.” This is keyboard excitement from begin ning to end. Until now my main respect was for Pete’s right hand, but on this number his left hops and jumps to perfection. It’s al most too much ivory tickling for just one man. The coupling, a slow blues, is brilliantly and feelingly rendered but is just a little short of the standard set by Meade “Lux Lewis’ improvisations in similar vein. Also relaesed by Blue Note is BARRELHOUSE BREAKDOWN , b. w., and KANSAS CITY FARE WELL, slow blues, by the Pete Johnson trio which includes Abe Bolar, bass, and Ulysses Living ston, guitar. While some listeners may go for this, I’d rather hear Pete alone. The trio seems a bit noisy—Jack Teagarden cuts loose again for Columbia on BEALE STi BLUES, featuring solid trombone and vocal by the leader and fine Lee Cosaldo trumpet. Coupled is SWINGIN’ ON THE TEAGARD EN GATE, a faster performance. One of the few discs on which this unit clicks—Lonnie Johnson is one of the best male blues singers, with a good voice and marvelous guitar technique. All of which makes his Bluebird of FOUR O THREE BLU ES, another WPA. lament, and LOVELESS BLUES, based on Handy’s “Loveless Love,” powerful Free Delivery from 8 a. m. to 1 a. m.

First of the new Ida Cox Vocal j ions to reach me is PINK SLIP BLUES, also a relief chant, and TAKE HIM OFF MY MIND An oldtimer now coming back, she has the help of a star band including Henderson, Hampton, Paige, Hig genbotham, Christian, Ed Hall and Artie Bernstein all of whom pour it on. Very mellow— with Jimmy Rushing moanin’, Count Basie’s band is relaxed and moody on I LEFT MY BABY, typical Kansas I City Blues. The pairing on this | Columbia is RIFF INTERLUDE,, which jumps all over the place with Lester Young’s tenor and the whis I pering trumpet at final fadeout hi I spots. For old fashioned, genuine blues, grab up JUST A DREAM No. 2 and MY LAST GOODBYE TO YOU, on Vocalion by the one and only Big Bill. One of his best. | NATION’S MEDICS WINNING IN FIGHT AGAINST TUBER l 'I ! I IWIC New York City, Feb. 8—(by Al bert G. Barnett for ANP)—A re markable insight into the gains | made by the medical profession and health agencies in the age-old fight to conquer tuberculosis— the scourge of mankind—is revealed in a report just released and compiled under direction of G. J. Drolet of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. The Drolet survey covered 4<> A merican cities and was based on preliminary reports furnished by the health commissioners of each city and other authorities. The date on TB deaths among Negroes applied to the years 1937 and 1938. Outstanding fact in the report was that in Boston Negroes formed only (5 percent of the total tubercul osis deaths. LOUISIANA MAY KICK OUT ELLENDER; NEGROES GLAD New Orleans, Feb., (by Robert McKinney for ANP)—The ‘'polit ical mess” in Louisiana has anti Negro Sen. Allen J. Ellender be hind the proverbial eight ball; local white dailies are picturing him as a helpless bird riding a weak branch, because his side-kick, Gov. Earl K. Long, whose ignorance has been very well exemplified through his radio talks in which he referred to Negroes in the most dastardly manner imaginable, is likely to be supplanted by anti-administration leader, Sam Jones. Negroes throughout the state are rejoicing over Ellender’s condition because of his firm conviction that “they should not seek law, order an justice, and should certainly not want the right to vote.” It is doubtful that Ellender whose antics against the anti-lynch bill are well known, will be around to help Texas’ Connelly kill it. Gov. Long and the rest of his constitu ents want him here to help them win the second primary which will i he run off on Tuesday, Feb. 20. The j local paper's have started a pro- | gram that is slated to kick Ellend er out of his job; they say Ellender is “a bully;” Negroes here unani mously agree that he is one of the most ignorant persons this state has ever had as a representative in the United States senate.
