Champion Jesse Owens to Support Landon

With a sunflower in his buttonhole, Jesse Owens, famous Olympic champion and world record holder, ia shown conferring with Gov. Alf M. Landon, Republican presidential nominee, in the capitol at Topeka, Kan. Soon after his return from Europe Owens visited Republican National headquarters in Chicago and met CoL Frank Knox, the vice-presidential candidate. Then the world’s fastest human said, “I’ve seen the oppression and misery of dictatorship in Europe. I’m glad to get back here and work for a man like Landon.” He will oppose New Deal dictatorship.

CURIOSITY GNAWS WHITES WHEN ALOOF PICKENS IGNORES THEM BELOW THE GULF OF MEXICO

By WILLIAM PICKENS (For ANP) It is now late Tuesday afternoon, and we are headed south Iby east from Mazatland, Mexico, for Guatemala, where we will land Friday. Last Saturday night we left Los Angeles on the Santa Rosa, about 200 of us, and IMazatland was our first stop. We reached that typical southwestern Melxcan seaport at 7 a. m., and went ashore after 9, “did” the town and had dinner at its leading hotel, and came back to our ship -and put off to sea again in the mid-afternoon. There is no landing dock at Mazatland, and had to be sent ashore in power launches. Mazatland, “lane of the deer,” which is the chief game thereabout, is the principal Mexican port on the pacific. That gives it relative importance, although as a fact it is a city of 30,000 inhabitants, living mostly in the 18th century, and in 17th century housing. The seacoast is most picturesque; there is a great rock, looking like Gibraltar, which has atop it the second highest lighthouse In the world, as the rock is nearly 500 feet above the sea. This is the day for my fellow passengers, white, to get tame; it is the third day, and they never fail, If you have given them a fair ha! ha!

chance. Always on the third day, if you have oeen ausolutely, but unostentatiously unconscious of their existence, they begin to get worried about it and want to find out just who you are, where you are from, what you do, and what you are like—and they look you up. In fact it began last night: first two or three men sidled up to me: “Taking a vacation?” And one thing led to another— and I could hardly be rid of them. Later in the evening a half-abashed young woman said: “May I be so bold as to ask who you are? I am from New r York and my name is ( and I am French.” And so forth and so on. And today, bless you, after we returned from the shore visit, the gang came, crowding around my deck chair, where I was trying to get some more fun out of Wood’s “Heavenly Discourse” and Juanita Harrison’s “Great Wide Beautiful World”—there was a St. Louis merchant and his wife, well acquainted with Charles Nagel and some oilier friends of mine; there were several college boys, and bright fellows, from Columbus, Ohio, one being a classmate of Jesse Owens; there was another St. Louisian and family, and several little wide-eyed girls. They all came at o*ice, as soon as one spied the others there, l hey joined up. For two solid hours, longer than I have sat in a deck, chalk* before on this trfp, they stayed and talked. It was the same way returning from Hawaii a week ago; by the third day they came to satisfy their own friendly curiosity—and then we played shuffle board. The Pacific Ocean has been strangely pacific these first few days, but it can be a terrific demon when it gets aroused. During the night we turned around the lower end of Lower California, a mountainous, picturesque snoreline having followed us during the afternoon, to be greeted in the morning by the ancient Spanish harbor, with fort ruins and quaint buildings at Mazatland. As in most Mexican places the* population ranges in its motley colors from skins as dark as mine on through predominating yellows and browns to a few persons who may be termed “whitb.” The blood of Mexico is mostly Indian, and the mixtures, are of Negroes, who ran away from American slavery, Spaniards, who once dominated the country, and the few “Gringoes” who have drifted this way. The coming of these ships means much to such a community; .the natives are ready to take your

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—ANP) — Exactly what should be the status of Jesse Owens, Olympics games hero, has Owens, his coach, the A. A. U., the Northwestern Ohio association, the Caledonia# Tclub, and several of America’s other prominent athletgs w'orried. According to Jesse, he never agreed to compete in Sweden which brought about an indefinite suspension when he chose not to run, he has not actually announced he was turning professional which caused his suspension for a year, and no contract has really been signed for his appearance as an entertainers by stage or radio. The A. A. U., however, says differently. According to Daniel J. ! Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the organizations, Owens Mked to be allowed to run in Sweden then changed his mind without notice and also specifically stated he was turning professional. The official also claims to have a photostatic copy of a contract the star athlete signed. If left to the Northeastern Ohio association of the A. A. U. and Coach Larry Snyder of Ohio State, Jesse would be again a full-fledged

money by offering you every sort of article and service, especially leather goods and basketry. Their prices seem to be reasonable. When in Frankfort, Germany, they showed me the “picturesque” 12th and 13th century houses. I remarked that they were nice enough for show but that nobody ought to be allowed, let alone compelled, to live in them. So is it also with these unsanitary “pioneer” structures of the western world; a 17th century house may be good as a museum exhibit, but it is a human shame thaf any animal must live in most of them. Both health and morals—and of course, intelligence—must suffer in such places. The place is not as terrible in some of its backyards as it appears from its front entrances, for when you took through the better-off residences, you see lovely patios in the rear, with flowers and maybe a fountain. The hotel where we lunched has a wonderful patio, and a not uninviting general interior. Our next stop will be San Jose, port of Guatemala, where we will arrive early Friday morning and laid after breakfast and take a faster trip nearly one hundred miles into the interior, visiting Antigua and Guatemala City, and many Spanish ruins 1 and old communities—leaving the ship at 7:30 in the morning and returning to it at about 10 o’clock at night, to set sail at 11 p. m. for El Salvador. From El Salvador, two more days of sail will bring us to Balboa, Pacific end of the Panama Canal. Neither at San Jose nor at La Liberfad (port of El Salvador) is there any Landing dock, and they will have to “shoot” us ashore in baskets on cables, as when people are rescued from ships on rocks. If I can stop long enough from contemplating the sea and the clouds and the stars and the “Great Wide Beautiful World,” I shall try to tell you something about some of these places 1 —and then about the Canal and the South American and Carribean port of call.

amateur. James A. Lee, chairman of the Ohio branch, wired Ferris Saturday tliat the ban had been lifted but Fernis telegraphed in rdjply that this could not be, due to the rules. * Meanwhile the Caledonian club, vNiich obtained sanction for a track and field meet in New Yprk Thursday night only with great difficulty, has advertised Owens’ appearance as a great drawing card. He is scheduled to compete in his specialties. His failure to appear would embarrass the club considerably. Owens has said he would - run, suspension or no suspension. And that is what worries such fellowOlympians as Glenn Cunningham, Archie San Romani, Gene Venzke, Jack Torrence, Earle Meadows, and others. If they compete in a meet with a suspended athlete they are also automatically suspended. It is unlikely they would be willing to thus forfeit their amateur standj ing and would then withdraw, cau-s ! ing more grief for the Caledonian I club. It is not considered likely the tangle will be straightened out in time for the meet. .Neither side at the moment seems willing to give ground. The maze of contradictions has made an agreement doubly difficult. The Buckeye Bullet, however, can be returned to full amateur standing by action of the foreign relations committee of the A. A. U. cm the Sweden charge and Iby the registration committee of the Northeastern Ohio A. A. U. on the other. As for his alleged “run out” on the Swedish contest, Jesse asserted positively he had never agreed verbally or otherwise to compete at Stockholm and that Swedish officials had consented to his withdrawal. Ferris, in contradiction, declared he had talked with him and Larry Snyder at the Olympic village in Berlin and both were anxious to make the Swedish trip. Owens asked for the assignment, Ferris said, adding he was “amazed” when he learned the athlete had decided not to go and that the Swedish authorities were indignant and said they had never released him from hi^ obligations. It appears that the A. A. U. foreign relations committee will therefore not soon remove the indefinite suspension. The telegram sent by Lee of Ohio read: “Advised by New York, and this was verified, that Jesse Owens did not sign any type of professional contract. The Northeastern Ohio assooiation of the Amateur Athletic Union hereby reinstates Jesise Owens, this to take effect immediately.” Ferris was startled when he received this because there is specific A. A. U.^ rule stating that when an athlete announces his intention of turning professional he cannot compete with amateurs for a full year and then can he reinstated only if he did not turn professional. However, if he has been misquoted, this does not apply. But Ferris says Jesse was not misquoted and has proof 'to back up his contention. He wired Lee, saying: “Neither your association nor myself has any authority to reinstate Owens until a year has, elapsed.” The Ohio committee is

therefore held powerless to come to the aid of the star. Although Ferris says he has a photostatdc copy of a professional contract signed by Owens the youth himself denies it and said, “I would n&>er jeopardize my amateur status for any consideration. The widely publicized deal with Marty Forking, theatrical agent, suppotaedly arranged by Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, has never materialized, Forkins declared. , “He came to me," said the agent, “prepared to sign an agreement hut he never actually put his signature to a contract. He had been willing to have me handle him for stage and radio activities, but, when he found thatJ»hat might impair his amateur standing, we dropped the business.”

KKK MEET FLOPS

NEW YORK, Sept. 16—(ANP)— The proposed 15,000 strong gathering of the Ku Klux Klan in Westchester county over Labor day fizzled to a handful, according to latest reports on the Konklave. Some seventy-five persons attended, but there were special police on the grounds to see that none of the brethren and sisters put on hoods or masks. The leader, a mysterious Major Anderson, declared that the other 15, 925 were on their way or were lost because of the change of location of the

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 17^—(By Pace M. Severly for ANP)—With one of the largest gatherings of colored churchmen ever to assemble in the Unfted States, the National Convention, Inc., opened its annual meeting here Wednesday morning with Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago,

national president, presiding.

More than 8,000 persons have — ' — -

gathered at the meeting place day and night to take advantage of splendid accomodations for which the local committee has drawn the praise of Dr. Williams. The site of the convention, a tabernacle, is the first of its kind ever to be used by colored churchmen. There are no nails in the entire framework. It is put together with bolts and the top is covered with canvas. \Citizens Praised Colored citizens here have drawn much praise for the work done to make visitors and delegates comfortable. Prices, however, are a little high for Jacksonville, but that did not effect all of the delegateis because some of them had attended conventions before and knew better than to go to committes for rooms. Accommodations for two sharing the same room are 75 cents each per night if obtained from the committee. Miss Frances B . Watson, returned West African missionary, will work under the National Baptist board. She formerly worked for the Lott Carey Convention. Rev. J. H. Jackson secretary of the Foreign Mission board, thrilled the convention soon after its opening by giving a glowing account of his trip to Africa. Staff Re-elected Dr. Williams and all his official staff have been elected to succeed themselves. This did not take place, however, until committee* had reported, showing sufficient means had been raised to insure the succeasul operation of the convention for the next year. A plan to suspend the rules and hold the election first was halted by the president who insisted that the election wait until after the reports. Rev. A. M. Townsend, -Sunday School board secretary; Prof. E. W. D. Isaac, of the B. Y. P. U. board; Rev. F. W. Penlck, secretary of the benefit board, and Rev. J. H. Branham of the transportation commission, gave splendid accounts of their stewardship. Dr. J. M.. Nabrit of Atlanta, Dr. E. Arlington Wilson of Texas, and Rev. Marshall L Shepard of Philadelphia have also drawn praise for their handling of secretarial du-

ties.

Educators Present President J. R. E. Lee of Florida A. & M. college, and N. W. Collier off. the F. N. & C. I. of St. Augustine, were present and delivered addresses Thursday. President J. N. Sitokes of the sttate convention headed a delegation paying $10 each to the convention. Revs. T. T. Lovelace and Rowland

Smith have beea singled out far special plaudit* in connection with their handling of tha bond drive; The aasemhled thousands have heard greet .sermons by such pulpiteers as Revs. G. H. Sims of New York C. C. Adams of Philadelphia, and D. D. Crawford, of Georgia. v Aged Pastor Talks Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist church in Washington and one of the oldest active ministers In the faith, delivered an address teUlng how he was converted sixty-seven year* ago and had been .pastor of Eighteenth Street Baptist for fifty-four years. He called for a united Baptist family and requested the pastors to lead the churches in «iv> ing handsomely to missions. Commended by , tbe convention for their part in arranging details were Revs. A. B. Oohnan, John Ford, H. T. Wimberly, J. M. Bine, and Mrs. Pattie B. Green, and Miss Eartha thL White. Prejudice Rn Routa White (people of Jacksonville have been fairly polite to the visitors. The mayor did not come to welcome the convention, hut ho has never addressed a colored conference and evidently did not want to spoil his refutation this time. However, hie sent of letter of greeting by Rev. W. C. Sayle, a white preacher who spends much time among.

I had to talk to the younger men in the group to keep them from haring a fight with the Southerner. The South is still the South and has not changed. Other Reports Atty. William Hayes of Chicago reported no litigations against the convention; J. B. Blayton, C. P. A. of Atlanta, the official auditor, stated that all officers’ reports were correct. Rev. J. B. Adams’ report OH social service was commended by all present. Rev. J. H. Hughes of Orange, N. J., (president of the N. J. Baptiste; W. A. Epps of Jersey City, and J. H.

NAACP LASHES AT BRUTALITY; COPS BEAT WOMAN ILL 11 YEARS

CLEVELAND, Sept. 16—(By Leon Lewis for ANP)—Within the past two weeks, bruatal treatment of colored citizens at the hands of police officers and employes of the street railway system here In Cleveland has come to light following disclosures to Chester K. Gillespie, president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., Iby Martih Kelley and Mrs. Annie Shasp, victims of these outrages, and by him referred to Norman L. McGhee, of the Legal Defense Company. According to Mrs. Sharp, while she was a passenger on a Lorain street car she (was pushed aaid shoved by a white woman who dedemanded that she move on forward In the car despite the fact that it was crowded and people in front of her prevented her moving forward. Upon remonstrating with the woman that she could not move the conductor came up and called her an ugly name, and said he would put her off the car. As the car came to Fulton Road and Lorain avenue, Mrs. Sha^p says he got out and called a policeman, who grabbed her by the arm, jerked her over to the curb and called a„ police car. When the car came the policeman jerked her from the curb and dragged her af-

ter him across the street to the police car, and when she informed him that she was a sick woman, he struck her in the face with his fist and cursed her. After the officer got her to the central police station, her husband was called and came for her. They released .her upon compelling her to sign a waiver. - - Hospital Patient for 11 Years Upon investigation. It was discovered that Mrs. Sharp had been a patient at city hospital for the past 11 years, having undergone a recent operation involving the removal of eight ribs. Her physician, Dr. Cart O. Kent, declared this week that the physical: condition of Mrs. Sharp was such that the rough and brutal treatment she received would undoubtedly seriously impair her health in the future. The case of Martin Kelley is almost similar to that experience by Mrs. Sharp, except that in Kelley’s case, he alleges he Was assaulted by four- officers! who stopped him while ha And a party of friends were driving home on the evening of Aug. Id, and changed him with failing to make a boulevard Stop, and eo they claimed, for almost striking the street car as he turned into Qulncey avenue. When he asked tfhqre was - the street car, Kelley r aays one of, the officers exclaimed, “Oh, ha As smart,” and opened the door of his car and pulled him out while all four officers proceeded to curse him out and knock him from ope to the other, finally taking hiih and Ms friends to the IQ. 79th Street station, where upon finding out that he was a reputable citizen, they quickly released
