(Continued from Page 1) coroner’s inquest supported the fact that he was not only a skillful driver but that he had just taken off when the plane went Into the spin which proved fatal. Mrs. Arenia C. Mallory, his sister, said “I was watching the plane as it arose. I had gone to the airport to see my brother fly because although all of the other members if the family had seen him in the air, I had never had the privilege. “Last week he had taken the members of the singing group from our school aloft and my eight-year-old daughter Saturday he flew Miss Lashley and there was no suggestion of stunt or trick flying in his manoeuvers. I had planned to go up next. We had just enjoyed what seemed to me the happiest day of our existence together. Frank was happy that I had been able to see him fly and it was my ambition to some day be able to help him

iwn his own plane.

“I watched the plane as it took off and it had barely ascended 500 "eet in the air and he had not nade his first turn at the end of he field when we observed that omething was wrong. “Those who testified at the inquest, experienced flyers and officials praised his ability as a flyer and were unable to give any reason for the failure of the plane since it had been overhauled only the two weeks ago.” “It was brought out at the Inquert that the plane was a stolen! plane with the passenger sitting in front. Young Roberts’ foot war so entangled in the controls one witness said, that his shoe and nart of his foot was left when they chopped the cabin to extricate him. This theory would suggest that the passenger had either become trlght?ned or experimented, thereby causing the pilot to lose control

of the machine.

DENVER, Colo., July 17. — (By Myra Glenn Harris for ANP)—The Mid-western Regional conference ■vf the Alpha Kappa Alpha sororty closed Its seventh session last week after a very successful meeting in Denver, Colo., with the A1-, pha Kappa chapter as hostess. Representatives were present 'rom Kansas, Missouri, and Oklafl homa. The outstanding guest of' 1 he conference was Soro Ida I* Jackson, the supreme baslleus,/ Soror Helen Finley of Wichita, Kas., the regional director, presRb ed over the meetings held at the headquarters—the Y. W. C. A. A very full and interesting program was planned by the hostess chapter In order that great benefit might he gained by all and thait they might enjoy the West and its boundless hospitality. The most impressive feature of the conference was the open meeting held Sunday morning at the eleven o’clock hour at Zion Baptist church. At this time Soror Jackson delivered the main address of the hour on the subject of “How To Meet the Challenge.” Soror Fini ley also gave very timely remarks in her response to greetings from various organizations of the city. At three o’clock in the morning on Sunday the entire delegation journeyed to Flagstaff Mountain. After a very tasty breakfast the f»n«l session was held which proved to be quite impressive in the stillness and openness of the hills. Friday night preceding the opening of the sessions an informal reception was held at the home of Attorney and Mrs. S. E. Carey where about two hundred gathwod to meet the visitors. The same evening a party was given at the lovely Beverly Gardens where the delegates and other

guests of the Alpha Phi Alphas ffapeed until the wee houre of the morning. The feature of the parfy was Igrge lighted replicas of M^e A. K. A* pin at one end of the hall an<l A.

DOPE" DENIED DY JOE LOUIS (Continued from Page 1) % him by the sister. “I had a ‘shot’ In my arm”, Joe is said to have applied in answer to his mother’s question as to why he didn’t use his left oftener. Mrs. Gaines admitted going to see Bruseaux, but claimed she did not know what it was all about. When he asked her to tell him what had happened she answered that she “knew nothing about It, as she suspected he was up to something at the time.” Joe scoffs at the idea that his mother questioned him about using his left so little. “All my mother said when I got home was that 1 couldn’t win ’em all. She doesn’t know enough about fighting to know whether I used my left or

not.”

According to a statement set forth in the Bruseaux affidavit, Louis was given an hypodermic injection because of high blood pressure. Blackburn, it is said, vehemently opposed the injection, coming almost to blows with Manager Black over the matter. Blackburn added nothing further but a denial. apparently contradictory. “Don’t know anything about it,” he is quoted as saying. “Nobody gave Joe any short in the arm while I was around. It’s a lot of baloney.” i

FLANNER HOUSE TO STAGE DIG OUT DOOR SHOW

Fb^iner House takes another step nearer it’s ultimate goal of maKing “Indianapolis a clean and wholesome place for colored people to Pve”, when the House presents for the first time Planner House Country Fair, a new and unique novelty that will both offer untold pleasure and entertainment for the patrons and a source of financial income for the Institution. This is the first time that the officials of the Planner House have ever attempted to stage an affair of this kind and every effort is put forward to make it a grand ami glorious success. Some of its features include, versatility, originality, and smartness, pf the. latest type. The desire to make this one of the best of its kind in the history of the institution, is the outcome of an effort to raise funds that have fallen sharply below its needed amount. All of the participants and instructors are working without pay. Frank Hendon, Miss Callie Scrivner, Mrs. Vestarine Slaughter and others have gladly offered their support. There will be sufficient entertainment for each member of the family. A playet, “Life”, written and produced by Tim Owsley will be the climax of the program. The Country Fair to be held in a tent at St. Clair and Missouri streets will begin July 29, and end July 31. Each night will bring new and different faces. The opening program will include the following: Part One: Ministrels—Modern music, song and action. Specially written Overture, by Owsley and Payton. Specially directed chorus by Lucretia Lawson Love. Spe<lal musical arrangements by Frank Hendon and Mrs. Vestarine White Slaughter. Special stage designs by Ralph Bryant. Special costumes by Mrs. Ruth Murry. Master of ceremonies, GlBorgte Batemen.

HARLEM IS HOTBED (Continued from Page 1)

in Harlem, James W. Ford, communist vice-president nominee and leader of a large group there scores police in their handling of the matter, as well as the city administration generally. His statement follows: “Last Tuesday night I saw a policeman on horseback swing a club at a Negro woman on Lenox Avenue between 26th and 127th streets.” “The cop was trying to break up a legal meeting. The neoMl* of Harlem are emphatically behind the recommendation of the w <»i-8 Committee to reduce the police army of occupation in this community. The army of occupation must go. The people are aroused against it. “And on the question of unemployment relief, discrimination •* ,r Hinst Negroes has not ended. We Communists will support the pular demand of the citizens of Harlem that the Emergency Relief Bureau publish the actual figures of Harlem relief since the March 19 outbreak. Discrimination against Negroes in relief was one of the issues which aroused sentiment on March 19, 1935. “The people of Harlem will not permit Mayor LnGuardia to dodge responsibility for acting on everyone of the recommendations made by his commission. The fact that he has made himself extremely inaccessible by moving city hall to the other side of Pelham Bay Park and his silence on the recommendations of the report, has not met with the satisfaction of the Harlem people.”

Tim Owsley, an entertainer and vaudeville actor of many years’ standing and who is the back-bone of the fun that is to be had, promises to have the house on its toes “roaring” with laughter, every minute.

AT LAST A USEFUL MOVIE CENSORSHIP By WILLIAM PICKENS (For ANP) We are generally opposed to censorships for adults by othar adults, because, for one thing, there is nobody to censor the cen. sore. But the latest news brings we word of one censorship with which I am in hearty accord. “Pope Orders World Movie Censorship.” That’s good, and will be very useful to us worldly wordlings: For now we will have the highest authority telling us just what pictures are worth seeing and hear, ing. All we will have to do, is to note down from time to time the list of pictures which His Eminence and the papal censors forbid us to see—and we can be. sure that all the films on that blacklist are worth seeing. What a break this blessed arrangement of the Vatican is go. ing to give the poor movie fan who has always found it hard to
