The first “easting try-outs” for
"Headlines," modernistic musical
revue to be staged at Tech High
auditorium April 25 to 27 for the
benefit of the Elks crippled child
rens’ fund were held Monday after
noon in the Elks Club ball-room.
William Raterman of New York
City, in Omaha to direct the pro
duction, said he hoped to complete
casting this week and that inten
sive rehearsals would then begin.
Rateman is associated with the
John B. Rogers Producing Com
pany, internationally famous pro
ducers in the musical revue field.
The company has offices in Lon
don and South America, as well
as in this country. Last year they
staged over one thousand such
stage shows throughout America.
“Headlines,” the same show that
was such a “hit" recently in New
York City, Chicago, and Washing
ton, will be presented here by a
cast of 160 of the mid-west’s top
flight talent, and state and local
political, civic and business leaders.
Elaborate stage settings and scen
ery, hundreds of costumes and in
tricate lighting effects will be
shipped here especially from New
York City for the Omaha produc
tion.
This brilliant novelty revue is
based on happenings in a newspa
per office, portraying the news
that makes tho headlines of today.
Among the outstanding scenes are
“The Magazine Section,” where
beautiful girls pose as covers of
popular magazines; “Hospital
News,” a comedy skit; “New York
Day by Day," with the audience
taken on a trip to the lower East
side; “More Sinned Against Than
Unusual," an abridged “melodram
mer” of 50 years ago; “Foreign
New3 Section” portraying a scene
in a French cafe; the “Lovelorn
column, “Want Ads” and “Society
Section.” Rapid-fire flashes and
“blackouts” keep the newspaper
pace throughout. The first act
finale is an especially well-written
episode called “Mechanics” in
which Mechanical Robots, Futuris

Federal Security Administrator
Paul V. McNutt said today the de
velopment of the Social 'Security
Board’s program is bring to Negro
office workers permanent jobs of
an administrative, supervisory, and
technical grade, on a large scale.
The Administrator emphasized
that this was particularly true as
it related to executive positions
ar»d to the recognition accorder
trained Negro women.
Of the 40 male Negro technical
employees, 10 are college gradu
ates, Charles F. Franklin and
George L. Cohron, two of the Ne
gro men who are employed in ad
ministrative positions by the Social
Security Board, hold doctor’s de
grees from Columbia and American
Universities, and James E. Stamps
did graduate work at Northwestern
University.
Dr. Franklin is a social science
analyst for the Social Security
Board. Dr. Cohron is manager of
the Harlem Field Office of the
Social Security Board in New York

City, and Mr. Stamps is manager
of the 47th Street Field Office of
the Social Security Board on the
south side of Chicago. William C.
Kelley and Austin H. Scott are
the assistant managers of these
two field offices. An entire Negro
staff completes the personnel of
these branch offices in New York
and Chicago, and all employees
are appointees from the Federal
civil-service registers.
The Administrator said that, in
conformity with the stipulations of
the Social Security Act, the Social
Security Board has taken all its
employees, regardless of race,
from the registers of the Civil Ser
vice Commission, and it is the un
questioned claim of the Board that
all appointments are based on the
applicant’s record. He emphasized
that the reason the number of Ne
gro workers employed is not even
greater is due largely to the com
parative scanty of Negroes with
civil-service ratings.
“The granting of promotions,”
Mr. McNutt explained, “is sur
rounded by rules and regulations,
merit ratings, and budget limita
tions, but, during the past 3 years,
the Negro men and women in the
Board’s Accounting Operations Di
vision in Baltimore have received
110 administrative promoti on s
within their grade and 54 promo
tions of a full grade.
“In addition to promoting cleri
cal people and machine operators
to higher grade positions, the per
sonnel policy of the Board has lent
itself to the promotion of custo
dial workers to clerical vacancies
wherever the custodial group have
the proper qualifications, and, at
the present time, nine Negro cus
todial workers are being changed
over to clerical positions.
“The average age of those en
gaged in clerical work is 32, where
as the average age of the custodial
workers is 34 years for men and 37
years for the women. However, the
number of dependents seems to be
the same for both groups, the men
averaging 2 dependents each and
the women 1 dependent each. While
the average number of dependents
seems to be low, there are many
cases where the number is well
above the average,”
“I’VE GOT INJUN IN ME”
Every now and then we may
hear some colored man and broth
er, or some woman and sister
boast, “Ive got Injun in me.” If
Barne’s brief history is to be be
lieved, first families of Virginia
won’t boast to of the blood of Po
cahontac coursing through their
veins. Such in infusion or trans
fusion is nothing to be anshamed
of, but perfectly ridiculous to wear
on the sleeve.
The Europeans found the Ameri
can in a state of savagery lower
than the African natives. Contrary
to popular belief the Indian was
not killed off in wars. His casual
ties in 300 years of war were less
than 1500 men and women they
were facing extinction through in
ter tribal wars before Columbus
came. Whole tribes could be bought
for a handful of beads. The white
man had as allies rot-gut and
veneral disease. Three years be
fore the Mayflower docked at Ply
mouth Rock, one half the Indians
from Maine to Rhode Island were
swept away by a plague. The fight
they put up for their wigwam was
the poorest ever staged before the
galleries of history. Only 2 scraps
deserve the name of battle, “Tal
ledega” and “Horseshoe Bend.”

Francis E. Rivers (left) and James M. Yeargin, Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys on the staff of Thomas E. Dewey, District
Attorney of New York County anti leading candidate for the
Republican nomination for President.
New York City—James Yeargin, assistant to
District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey and third major
colored appointee on the New York District Attor
ney’s staff, prosecuted his first felony case in Part 4
of General Sessions Court last week. Mr. Yeargin suc
cessfully prosecuted Joseph Dombroski, alleged
fourth offender, convicting him of burglary in the
third degree.
This was a day after Francis E. Rivers of Mr.
Dewey’s staff had finished prosecution of Mrs. Irene
Louis Huff, defendant in a second degree murder
trial. At the same time Mr. Dewey’s third aide, Mrs.
Eunice Hunton Carter was preparing a series of other
cases for presentation in Special Sessions Court.
Assistant District Attorney Yeargin, named to
Mr. Dewey’s staff in February of 1938, is now a full
fledged trial prosecutor. During the last two years he
has aided in preparation of a number of homicide
cases, chief of which was that of Demetrius Gula and
Joseph Saccoda. They have since been electrocuted as
slayers of the White Plains (N. Y.) contractor,
Arthur Fried, who was kidnapped then burned to
death.
Mr. Yeargin was born in Raleigh, N. C., attended
Shaw University and St. Johns University in Brook
lyn. His rise has been rapid. Admitted to the New
York Bar in 1936, he practiced as a private lawyer a
year before he was named to the District Attorney's
staff as a member of the Homicide Bureau. He pre
pared many murder cases during the last two years
and prosecuted misdeameanor cases in Homicide
Court.
In school he starred in athletics as a basketball
and tennis player. He married last September and he
and Mrs. Yeargin live at 246 West 150th Street.
Never,, beore Mr. Dewey was elected District
Attorney, did colored aides in the District Attorney’s
office actually prosecute cases. Neither are his three
colored appointees limited to colored cases. In no city
in the United States can this triple recognition of Ne
groes on the basis of ability along and not color, be
found.

Woman Praises Mme.CJ.
Walker’s Preparations
I _
® “I use Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation,” stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late
Madam C. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years on
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where. t
5 Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Mm*. C. J. Walker’s Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.
