DISCRIMINATORY SCHOOL POLICIES

Certain Indianapolis school board policies, long regarded as unduly discriminatory in character are about to be subjected to test in the courts. A recently organized committee of colored parents has formulated plans for the purpose of forcing a show-down as to the board’s right to Jim Crow children in the city schools merely because their skins happen to be black. The first of a series of jurisdictional actions, with this as an objective has just been filed in Superior court. Negro children barred from high schools in their own neighborhood are compelled to go to Crispus Attucks high school, miles away and at their own expense. Thousands of dollars have been expended by parents of school pupils in this way and it isn’t fair. It’s a circumstance which has given rise to much righteous indignation on the part of Indianapolis tax payers as well as the cause of the impending friction between the board and parents of high school pupils. But of equal importance is the fact that the much discussed question involving the right of the board, at the people’s expense, to maintain a system of segregation in the public schools of Indianapolis is to be finally disposed of in the courts of this city. And properly so, since it is high time that a disposition should be made of this much controverted issue. The board, according to law must provide transportation for colored children living beyond a specified distance from the School they attend.1 ' f If it has failed to do this, then the board should be made to refund the parents all moneys expended by the latter for the purpose of transporting their'children to and from the schools.

threatening the innocent black lamb.” To the question advanced by the same Japanese organization, “What has Ethiopia done to deserve ruthless devouring by the greedy white wolf?” The answer is “absolutely nothing!” To Arthur Brisbane's querry, “What Did the Transveal and the Boers do to deserve the ruthless devouring of their country, its gold and diamond mines by the blond English gentlemen ?” The reply is simple enough. In the first place, the Transvaei never was, and never will be the rightful country of the Boers. It is the property of native Africans from whom the Boers had robbed it. Brisbane knows that. \ The British merely robbed the Boers of gold and diamond mines that were stolen by the highwaymen Boers from the South Africans. History has a strange way of repeating itself Mr. Brisbane. But, Mr. Brisbane there is only a question of time when England and all other European thieves will be kicked out of Africa by the Africans; made to give up that land to its rightful owners. Perhaps the present Italo-Ethiopian upheaval is the beginning of just such an eventually. It is hardly to be expected that fate will fail to serve civilization in this way for the benefit of humanity.

CRUISING ‘ROUND By LESS J. MARTIN

THE PARAMOUNT NEWS of local interest this week is the tragic death of Mrs. Hazel Hendricks, priuoipal of school 37 and a talent^ ed mustcian. To those' who were close to her admire her complete devotion to her work, and her interest in a novelty band made up from pupils from the school. One could see the. big Greyhound bus standing in front of the school ready to take the band on a trip: : it was on one of these trips that the fatal accident occurred! Beyond question the city has lost one of its most valuable citizens, the school of one its most efffcienf aids. We, of course, are deeply concerned about the injuries suffered by Miss Alfreda Washington, Wilbur Johnson, and others and pray their speedy recovery.

MRS. HAZEL HART HENDRICKS

NEEDED, MORE NEGRO MECHANICS

Indianapolis has sustained the loss of an especially valuable citizen in the death of Mrs. Hazel Hart Hendricks, distinguished school principal and social uplift worker. A product of Shortridge high, school and of the old Indianapolis Normal, it can truly be said of Mrs. Hendricks that she was an educator of highly productive qualities. As a musician she not only was tremendously talented, but the excellent performances and progress of the school orchestra which she organized and conducted in connection with her work as principal of school 37, had placed her squarely in the category of one of the city’s most progressive teachers. A recipient of a scholarship to the University of Chicago, Mrs. Hendricks is on record as having qualified for a B.S. degree at Butler university in 1929. Mrs. Hendricks’ outstanding contribution to the noble work of preparing Indianapolis’ youth of today for their great tasks as men and women of tomorrow will long be remembered by grateful citizens of this community. We repeat, that in her death, the city schools, and the race in general have been deprived of a brilliant scholar, an enviably efficient teacher, and abbve all, a good woman.

THE ACCIDENT as reported by the newspapers was unavoidable as far as the bus driver was concerned. The truck driver was either unexperienced or careless, otherwise knowing his load he would have used extra precaution in making turns, but the fault is not all the truck driver’s; but the backwardness of our governmental units, and the hindering hand of the railroads in failing or preventing truck right of ways. A year ago this column suggested that abandoned electric right of ways be converted into trqck lines. Something along this line will have to be done sooner or later, as long distance trucking is not only here to stay but Is continually increasing. The daily papers gave liberal space to the accident. We regret however that news of so vital interest to more than forty thousand local citizens did not merit, the front page of the dailies.

THE STAJIT of this week we faced more startling news in the shooting of Senator Huey Long of Louisiana, the most outstanding senator in the United States, by d political enemy; acting in the economic defense of his family, being sacrificed himself by being shot down on the spot. We cannot at this age justify murder of this sort. Despite his racial antagonism, we* hope for his recovery. From decayed grains of wheat we reap the “staff of life.”

THE BURNING of the dead that resulted from the Florida hurri-

cane by the Florida officials, may have been in the best interest of those left behind, but I feel that not enoug’n eonsioeration was given to the relatives pf those who died In the storm. It thoks too much like the Florida officials were anxidUS to get rid of them. COOKING IS A SCIENCE. Many good wives live their life through thinking that they* kre good cooks simply because their husband praises what he ofteh is fearfffl of eating. Others that were good Cooks fail to keep up with the modern methods of cooking. Yet you can’t dv if you are the husband you had better not tell her that she is not an up-to-date cook. The mere fry ing' of a steak or baking a pie is not all it takes to make a first class cook. A chance to see the right and wrong of it will be at Tomlinson Hall September 24-27, The Indianapolis Recorder Cooking School. The school will be as much interest to men as women. It will teach the women how to prepare o. real meal, and will show the men the meal they have not been getting. If you happen to know all about cooking, attend this school anyway and pick out the flows if there should be any.

EVIDENTLY THE BUSINESS ‘ pump” has been primed, as the “big boys” are pleading “Give us Ihe handle,” we are ready to work, you have it started for us. The president has told them to go ahead, at the same time remember the dark days of ’32 when they left the pump and ran into their financial cellars. Had not these big boys forsaken Mr. Hoover in ’29 there would have been a depression. They are not to be trusted; they will leave anybody when the water in the well goes down.

THIS WEEK we start to burn our own gas; what belongs to you can be used as you desire, but just try and use your own gas without paying for it. The city should own the water works, the railways, the light company; there should be no taxes to pay.

BEFORE THIS column could be printed, Senator Huey Long passed to the great beyond. Chaos will reign in Louisiana for a time. He will be missed especially by newspaper men.

Communism Rages at Howard U.

Mr. President:

On May 25th I wrote you protesting against the use of Howard University as a forum for red upd radical propaganda with your full knowledge, consent and participation. Subsequently 1 put the substance of tins letter in affidavit form at the request of Senator Millard E. Tydings of Maryland, which was submitted to Secretary Ickes, who has supervision of Government appropriation for the maintenance ol this institution. Thereupon the Secretary ordered an investigation into thfe whole question of communistic teachings and propaganda in Howard University. The investigation is still under way. On Aug. 21) I gave a requested interview to the Washington Post in response to which you stated in the Washington Times of Aug. 30 that “Communist speakers were invited to Conferences at Howard University to give students here complete information and an appropriate picture of the world today.” •You state further in this interview “I am an Educator. I don’t think it is dangerous to have a Communist speak to our students. It would be dangerous to prevent it. I want our students armed with objective information about every political teaching, whether it be Republicanism, Communism or auy-

mit a pacifist to harangue the cadets against war in onjer to give them a world picture? I duiibt whether you wouhj be willing to carry your logic to itsultimate conclusion by inviting advocates of free love and the destruction of the family, td the platfoim of Howard University for an “objective information.” Schools and college were founded and are maintained by philanthropist and statesmen in order to inculcate upon the minds of youth certain .received and accepted values and virtues, and not as a laboratory to experiment in wildcat theories. Howard University was founded by that noble philanthropist, statesman and patriot, Gen. O. Q. Howard, for the purpose of affording colored youth higluer educational opportunity under the inspiration of the American Flag and all that it stands for. These Fathers and Founders would turn over in their graves if they could witness the unpatriotic drift of this institution

under your hands.

Abraham Lincoln said that the American people should make the Constitution their religion. You at one time defined Communism as a religion. It is the nature of any Veligion never to acknowledge an epual or brook a rival. Democratic institutions, therefore, are to be extolled above all other theories or Government by loyal and patriotic Americans and great is the ion demnation of the Educators who tiach and preach otherwise. It is doubly dangerous •to let

FLORIDA’S BRUTAL JUSTICE

There never was a greater demand for vastly m 6 r e colored mechanics everywhere throughout the country than is the case today. Authentic statistics in all sections of the land, including our own Indiana, reveal a comparatively pitiful scarcity of certified Negro skilled workers. The call now, as never before, is for less of half-starved face lawyers, misfit physicians, incompetent educators and non-pro-ducing white collar workers. Carpenters, brick masons, shoe makers, painters, tailors, plumbers and electricians, are among the many trades which there is urgent call everywhere in the land. We are all mindful of the extent to which the economic salvation of the race depends upon the ability of our people to do things. It is unquestionably true that the . group is in dire need of more of business contractors, builders, substantially progressive promoters, constructive thinkers. We need more of major accomplishments in all lines of endeavor to which the race may point with pride. We need infinitely less of .lip service, more of hard workers; less of make-believ-isms and a real program that will get the race somewhere. But to begin with, there must be vastly more Negro tradesmen, mechanics, skilled workers.

LOOMING WORLD CONFLAGRATION

The Abyasinlan-Italian situation is assuming alarming proportions, and with the approach of open hostilities between the two kingdoms, hundreds of thousands of Ethiopia sympathisers are making themselves heard everywhere throughout the world. Thousands upon thousands of citizens of every country on earth, black, yellow and white, are offering their services for use in Emperor Selassie’s army services. A rather ominous situation indeed. It is but a prelude to the blazing wrath which later is to be aroused id the heart of every African from one end of that great continent to the other* The recent call, sent out by the “Great Japan’s Young Men’s Association” to the darker races of the world as a result of Italy’s threats to Civilization is of major importance; it calls for society’s immediate attention. 1 -1 • Says the‘manifesto; “Arise* dolored brothers. f Slay the Mediterranean white wdlf pouncing on the WaCk lamb in East 1 Africa. '' ““Colored brothers throughout the world, stand up and save your poor brother Ethiopians who are in the clutches of the white

Down in hurricane stricken Florida, a member of our race is to pay the pentalty with his life because he had the manhood to protect his wife against the brutal assaults of two white cowards. And, as is quite customary in that section of the country, the unfortunate woman is languishing between life and death of a hospital cot, while her assailants since set free, are now roaming the country; at liberty to pounce on other decent citizens. If this isn’t barbarity In the foulest sense of the term, we know not what it is. Right now Americans are pointing fingers of scorn at backward peoples of other lands. - And what is more, this country continues arrogantly to send forth to the four corners of the world its quota of missionaries charged with the duty of taming savages; inculcating them with so-called ideals of

civilization.

But should not America first concentrate its missionary efforts right here at home, where there is so utterly much need for the teachings of civilization? Can Americans conscientiously undertake to tell other peoples what to do while America wallows in the stench of such juridical corruption that makes for the raw deal being handed out to our people every where throughout this country of ours? We say, emphatically No. The Florida case is a cowardly imposition and a rank 11disgrace. It is a brutal type of justice of which the nation should be ashamed. •And, we repeat, until Americans shall have first put their own hpuse in order, they have no right to aspire to the noble task of civilizing other peoples. Our widely scattered missionaries are needed right here at home. The proper thing to do is to recall them.

YOUR HEALTH

BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

Ulcer of the stomach (gastric ulcer) or of the duodenum (iat^stijie just beyond the stomach) is eultfed peptic ulcer. Various views as to the nature and cause of this common condition have led to the use of many different methods or plans of treatment. At best, no treatment ns yet has proved very satisfactory, though the Sippy regimen or some modirtication of it. has given victims of peptic ulcer the greatest degree of comparative comfort and

safety. ,

The conviction has grown upon the profession that more is involved in these cases of i>eptic ulcer than the local lesion in the mucous membrane. A question on which there lias been much speculation is “Why doesn’t the. healthy stomach digest itself?” or “What causes the erosion or digestion of small areas of the mucous membrane of .stomach or duodenum which produces peptic nicer?” Overstimulation or irritation of the stomach with hot sauces, condiments, or alcohol, has been considered one factor of ulcer. Then some physicians have regarded peptic ulcer as a focal infection, some have thought it hereditary.

largely milk and vegetables (rich in vitamins). In an experimental work he found that monkeys fed on diets )K)or in vitamins usually de- \ eloped peptic ulcer. McOarrison was one of the first to prove that an adequate supply of vitamins is essential to maintain normal nutrition and health of the gastrointestinal tract. Many other investigators have confirmed this since. Vitamins A, i», and C, appear to be particularly essential, and D to a,

lesser degree.

Manville found that with a deficiency of vitamin A there is a failure In the secretion of mucus in the stomach, and mficus is the natural protective against irritants of all kinds and against digestion by the gastric juice itself. Heretofore the diets generally prescribed in the alleviation or treatment of peptic ulcer have been seriously deficient in vitamins, and if it is true that inadequate'supply i f the several vitamins is a predisposing cause of peptic ulcer, it becomes obvious that a diet used in the treatment of the condition should include, or be supplemented with, optimal rations of the vitamins. that is. more than the normal

out of your own mouth, condemn you of the charge as preferred. You justify the fact tha 1 you have invited radicals, reds, socialist, and communist to the University platform, who indulge ir. their peculiar methods of prosclylism to their heart’s content, in order to give the students “objective information.” It was noticable, however, that the Conference in question, bad no representatives on the program to speak for Republicanism or Democracy. I called attention to this omission at the time of the session. Y*ou say it would be dangerous to prevent Communist from speaking to Cniversity students, which is undoubtedly true after you have invited them to do so.. But what is the necessity or whereon lies the danger in refusing to invite them? No other state-supported institution in the whole country finds it necessary to invite radicals to harangue their student body. Your plea of academic freedom is a specious one. There is a limit beyond which even academic freedom ceases to be a virtue. It is not witch hunting for a tax-supiK)rted Institution to forferd its students from revolutionary and seditious preachments. You state “I am an Educator, but you are primarily a Baptist preacherer, allied a radical and social free thinke»*. To be perfectly logical you will have to invite Clarence Harrow, or some other proni uneeduethist, to address Ibe Theological students setting forth the* argument of atheism against the inspiration of Ihe Scriptures, which your calling requires you to regard as holy. Do you supjiose for a moment that the authorities at Annapolis e»r West Point would i»er-

excited emotions of the Negro youth whose minds are already sensitized by a keen sense of injustie*e and wrong. It would lie sucidal for the race to go back on the Constitution and the Flag which signalize all they have or can reasonably hope to

have.

You are committing Howard University to a policy and procedure violently at variance with tin will and purpose of the Americai people wno support it. If you wer • in charge of an institution support ed Vy t^ople of your ow-ii politka’ and social persuasion, then your hospitality to reds and radicals might indeed be justified. But the attitude of the American people on Communism is clear and unmistakable. The communication which Secretary Hull recently addressed to the Russian Government leaves no room for mistake on this ques-

tion.

If the head of any state-college or university or any other educational institution, suppored by taxation, should announce his purpose to make his institution a laboratory fqr the discussion ot revolutionary theories and proposals, in order to give his students a world picture, his tenure would not survive the next meeting of the Board of Regents. If the Trustees of Howard University and the authorities of the Government permit you to go on after the manner which' you proclaim and justify, the iuBlitutior would soon degenerate into a Uof bed of radicals and communist. To ■ \ ■ - .5 this I am unalterably ppposed, 1 am/iinjielled to this attitude by ui> loye and loyalty for my Afipa Mu; toy, race and country.

ASKS RECOGNITION FOR NAMING SCHOOL

THE STREICHER BROADSIDE

Julius Streicher, Germany’s reputed top notcher when it comes to hatred of persecuted Jews in Nazi-land, took occasion to advise the Southern States of the American Union to mend their own vicious ways before attempting to point a finger of scorn at the misdeeds of others. Among other things, Streicher had this to say with reference to the lynchings of Negroes in this country: “We do not kill Jews in Germany” because “we have other and nlbre civilized methods of punishing them.” Without discounting the ugly plight of Jews' in Germany, it devolves upon ns to admit that the Streicher’s broadside was as affective as it should be solid food for thought throughout the south-land. Yes, Americans should set about putting their own house in order before telling Germany what to do about her own affairs.

To the Editor: Since the cities of the country are paying homage to different characters of our race, I would like for Indianapolis to know who It was that suggested the name for the local colored high school that stands as a living monument to the dead. In 1927, while a servant in the home of the late Mrs. H. Lauter, I happened to pick up a copy of the morning Star and noticed this question: “What shall we name our colored high school? I called Mr. F. E. DeFraritz, executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A. on the telephone and asked him why it should not be named after the first man to fall in the battle for the American flag. Mr. DeFrantz asked who that man was and I attempted to pronounce his name. He then asked whether I meant Crispus Attucks and I replied yes. ' At my suggestion he called the school board who later accepted the name offered by me. Of course 1 dm very much elated over the selection.. But there seems to be very little or nothing ever said about the naming or the one for whom it was named. If ever a human being should be honored by members of pur race, it is. Crispus

Attucks. Of course anything worth while is torn, battered and bruished as was Crispus Attucks, the magnificant building and also the one who named it. There have come from between those walls children of great fame. For instance, our young cadets, our many young ladies who have risen to fame, so many reputable teachers who have proved a great asset to the community. You know I am'very much elated. I was Susie Dickerson at that time, now I am Mrs. Susie Goodwin.

TRUTH ABOUT LAWYERS

To the Editor: I want you to know that I deply appreciate the news item concerning lawyers of Indianapolis you published recently in your paper. It emphasized the fact that the Negro lawyer has made great contributions to the race advancement and the cause of justice generally that is too often overlooked. Robert Lee Brokenburr.
