Naval Academy TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (C) -A • double lynching occurred here on Monday night when Richard Hawkins and Ernest Pender were taken from jail and hanged, following their arrest for stabbing V. F. Kelly, a policeman, who is said to have been questioning them about a restaurant robbery. These are the first two lynchings in the second half of this year, and make a total of six so far, and the first for Florida. MUSKOGEE, Okla. (C) - J. Bernard Smith, editor of the Oklahoma Independent, 115% S. 2nd St., was named attorney for the State Board of Affairs in sterilization cases arising from the Taft Hospital, last week. This marks the first time a colored man has ever been named attorney for the Board of Affairs. To The Nat~l Negro Congress By Carl Brooks As the third trial of the Scottsboro boys opened at Decatur, Ala., the attention of millions of eyes throughout the entire world focused upon that Southern town. There was in the minds of those millions of people a huge number of questions that only the supposed "legal .trials" of the Scottsboro boys could answer. Summed up into one main question the fears, doubts and hopes of these true lovers of justice were just this: Can a Negro receive a fair trial in a Southern court? Must I answer that question? I think not-obviously the trials of the nine innocent Scottsboro boys has broadcast to the entire world the fact that justice for Negroes is not attainable (at present) from the "courts of justice" in Alabama. Add to this the "lily white" juries chosen because of anti-Negro prejudices and the systematic exclusion of Negroes from jury service. The notoriously biased instructions of Judge W. W. 'Speed' Callahan, to the jury practically asked for conviction, even on the basis of "supposed intent to rape" whether or not the actual crime was committed. We can turn these great partial victories into complete victories if we, the Negro people, completely unite our forces with all those progressive elements in society that will join the struggle for the unconditional freedom and equality of the Negro people. It is in this spirit that the National Negro Congress calls upon all people and organizations that will support a cooperative program to improve the economic, social and cultural level of Negro people to join in the building of a local council of the Congress. It is because we desire to continue the remarkable victory that has been won in the Scottsboro case and press on to a complete victory, that we ask that we be joined in a gigantic mass rally to celebrate the release of the four Scottsboro boys on August 6. Join the forward march to Negro equality with the National Negro Congress. Jessie C. Dent, Trained Pianist, Returns To Stage - courtesy Hartsook MISS IDELL VERTNER Miss Idell C. Vertner, executive secretary of Phyllis Wheatley Y. W.C.A., returned this week after a six weeks' visit through the South. Miss Vertner visited in St. Louis, attended the Sesquicentennial Convention in Memphis, visited '!he Y.W,C.A. and friends in New Orleans for a week, and returned by way of Houston, Texas, where she stopped for two DECATUR, Ala. (C) - The much-discussed compromise in the Scottsboro cases materialized on Monday when the State of Alabama, for the first ti!Y!e, failed to ask the death penalty for Andy \Vright, who has been sentenced to death in the same case twice before_ Whether this policy will affect the other six boys is not yet known, as lawyers for the prosecution made no comment on their surprise move. The cases are now more muddled than ever. Haywood Patterson, for whom death was asked by the State, is now under a 75-year jail sentence. Clarence Norris was convicted and for a third time sentenced to death last week. Mrs. H. C. Simpkin Presents Piano Pupils Mrs. H. C. Simpkin, teacher of piano, presented her Negro pupils in a recital Thursday evening at the Hopper-Kelly auditorium. Following is a list of the pupils in the order of their appearance: Eva Mae Weber, Isla Mae Berry, Patricia Bown, Clarine Garrett, Jean Evelyn Shields, Edith Mary Bown and Florence Bown. NEW YORK (C) - The Harlem branch of the ILD wired Senator Wagner of New York, at Washington, Tuesday, a protest of the Florida double lynching Monday night, adding that the tragedy called for the passage of the antilynching bill "to halt reacti0n n?w being directed against liberties for all people in America including the President."

The slogan of the organization is: "Join together, work together, stand together, spend together." These are but a part of a mass I or questions that were answered in tne verdict handed down by the ''lynch courts" of the South. But there were other questions answered by the verdicts in the infamous Scottsboro case. The entire lynch system of the South - not the Scottsboro boys - was tried at Decatur.

DOSTON (C) - Roland Hayes, pressure, have kept alive and finally delivered to the international friends of democracy, four of the nine Scottsboro boys. Yes, the acquittal of four of the famous symbols of the struggle of American Negroes for liberty and justice is a partial victory. More than that, this victory over the "lynch justice" of the South is a tribute to the glorious struggle that was waged by the international defenders of democracy. doing special piano work and preparing several new programs for use when she returns to the concert stage in the fall.

Four Of Nine Scottsboro Boys Freed B State Of Alabama! - Courtesy of Seattle Times Eugent Williams (lower right), Roy Wright, Willie Roberson and Olen Montgomery, four of the famous "Scottsboro boys," shown with their attorney, Samuel Leibowitz, who is determined to fight the cases of the other five boys "to hell and back." Attorney Leibowitz referred to the Alabama CotJ.J"t's recent decision as "probably the greatest victory in the life of the Negro people of America since the Civil War" and in regard to the newly-freed boys' future, he said that "there will be no exploitation of these boys; no barnstorming, no theatricals of any kind." News reports state the four boys have been entrusted to the care of an eastern Negro minister. NEW YORK (C) - The New York Age demanded editorially last week that the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis be investi-- gated. Under the caption, "Investigate Naval Academy," the paper said: "Negro leaders in all parts of the country should get behind Congressman Mitchell in his demand for an investigation of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. For 40 years no Negro was able to get a nomination to become a midshipman at this government training school for naval officers, Then during the past two years Congressman Mitchell succeeded in securing the appointment of two, and neither of them were able to stay because of the jim-crow practices of the student body and officers in charge. "According to reports, George Rose City Lodge Is Reorganized By Cornelius Evans District Deputy PORTLAND-Rose City Lodge No. 111, I.B.P.O.E.W., has been reorganized by State Deputy E. R Chainey and Gus West of Seattle. One of the most ha!lmonious meetings ever held by Rose City was held last Sunday at the Elks' Hall, 1508 N. Williams Avenue, when Rose City was restored to her right channel. After a brief conference with all the members present, Brother Chainey called the roll and the officers were duly electe~ and installed. The bad feelings'which had disrupted the lodge for more than a decade were dispelled and everybody went home saying, "Hello Bill." New officers are: Exalted Ruler. .Tames H. Manley; Leading Knight, E. W. Agee; Loyal Knight, Claude Jackson; Electing Knight, E. B. Banks; Tiler, Ollie Organ; Inner Guard, Hiram Hill; Esquire, James Earl. Rose City's representative to Grand lodge to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, soon will be A, G. Garrett. Florida Negroes Defy Ku Kluxers ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.-The only effect which the parade of the Ku Klux Klan had here this week on Negroes was to make them go to the polls and vote. Furthermore, after the special election was over, many colored citizens declared they had been caught unregistered at this election and could not vote, but at the next registration day they'd be sure to be on the lists. The Klan put on its robes and marched through tlie Negro district the night before the election to discourage Negroes from voting the next day. Some of the 200 Klansmen attempted to burn a I cross on the lawn of Charles_ Will Iiams, but before it could be lighted, Mr, Williams called police who took the cross and forced the men to run. The temper of the colored people was such that any spark could have set off serious trouble. Far from being afraid of the Klan, many Negroes wanted to remove the cross from the Williams' house before the police arrived. It was said also that colored people were "ready" if any trouble had been started Fete Out-of-town Guests Honoring Mrs. Gwendolyn Campbell of Los Angeles and Mrs. Rena Wilson of Berkeley, Mrs. W. Cal- ' houn served a delicious waffle I breakfast Wednesday morning at I her home_ Others present were I Mrs, Wilma Chandler, Miss Nellie Winslow and Miss Ruth Roston. Mrs_ Armeta Hearst entertllined I Mrs. C. Mumford, Mrs. Gwendolyn I Campbell, Miss B. Quarles of Los I Angeles and Mrs. Rena Wilson of Berkeley with a po-ke-no party Wednesday afternoon. Prizes were awarded and a delicious luncheon served. Others present were Mesdames Elizabeth Hubbard, Augusta Shannon, H. C. Thompson, Jessie Shields, Le Etta King, Marjorie Clifton, Viola Benning, Ruby Bell, Misses Nellie Winslow and Ruth Roston. L. Trivers, the latest victim, who was sworn in on June 17, was forced to leave last week because of the insults heaped upon him. Both he and Midshipman Johnson were assigned to segregated rooms on the second deck (third floor) in a remote, unused part of Bancroft Hall. White midshipmen refused to associate with the youth and made insulting remarks when passing him in the corridors. "During the period that Midshipman Johnson (the other Negro to gain admission) was at the institution, pebbles and sticks were tossed against his window, and bottles broken nearby after he had gone to bed at 10 p. m. The youth was able to prove that the white lads entered his room and disarranged it after he had cleaned it. "Congressman Mitchell states that there are two angles to the present case. The first is to determine whether the Academy officials mistreated Trivers because of his color. The second angle involves Johnson, who was so fair in complexion he could hardly be distinguished from his white classmates. "If private educational institutions can matriculate students of the Negro and other races, without this racial friction so common at the Naval Academy, there should be no reason why there should be this difficulty at a government school, except with the sanction of those heading the government. And if their actions have the approval of President Roosevelt and Secretary Swanson, the public should know about it. "We hope that Congressman Mitchell will go the limit in the expose and that sufficient pressure will be brought to bear by Negro voters to clear up this travesty on the name, 'democracy'." Mrs. Vivian Marsh Addresses Sorority At a forum meeting, Sunday, July 25, at the Phyllis Wheatley YWCA, Alpha Omicron Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority presented Vivian Osborne-Marsh, Grand President of the sorority. The affair was splendidly attended and the intensely interested audience was responsive to Mrs. Marsh's address, entitled "The Place of the Negro Sorority in the Community." One of the particular points stressed by Mrs. Marsh was that the Negro Greek Letter organizations are not merely social but have as a fundamental purpose service to t}teir race by such means as: encouraging our young people to secure as much education and training for life as possible; by fighting legislation unfavorable to the Negro and by fighting for the enactment of legislation benefiting the race; by encouraging the membership to maintain the highest physical, mental, moral and spiritual standards, individually and collectively. A brief but most enjoyable and instructive word was had from Rev. Beane of Los Angeles, a member of Alpha Pi Alpha Fraternity, the first Negro Greek Letter organization. Beta Theta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority graciously sent ii beautiful bouquet of gladiolas to Alpha Omicron Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta to grace the place of meeting. Aside from numerous courtesie3 extended by the local sorqrs, tht Grand President shared honors Sunday morning at a breakfast by the chapter, with Sorer Martha Anderson of Beta Chapter of Wiiberforce, and Soror Maybelle Craig of Kappa Chapter, Berkeley, California, and Mrs, Ann Browning and Mrs. Kathryn Flippin of San Francisco. Seattle is indeed honored to have enjoyed a visit from the gracious National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. The members of Alpha Omicron Chapter are DeLoris Brooks, Bertha Campbell, Alberta Browne, Jane Chandler, Syvilla Fort, Virginia Gayton, Irene Graves, Naomi Hyatt, Winifred Ingram and Idell Vertner, in the city. Absentee members are Madge Cayton, Tessie Miller and Geneva Turner. A former Seatlle girl of national fame who is a sor· er is Shirley Graham, known here as Lola Graham McCants.

He took a serious interest in their lighter music, and correlated it into a "Rhapsody in Blue." Then he wrote "Porgy and Bess," the opera, from the play, which was based on the novel, "Porgy." In the opera colored artists of the younger and better trained group got a chance to appear on Broadway in a new and higher vehicle for many weeks, then went on tour.
