THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, NEW DEAL SCORED ASHARD MASTER Colored People Testify to Conditions in Southern and Eastern U. S. Southern and Eastern Negroes gave their testimonial at an “experience” meeting on the New Deal last night at Howard University. A woman told how she and fellow eolored persons in an Arkansas dia- mond factory lost their jobs under an N. R. A. code. “The diamond company had used Negroes for 11 years,” she said, “but when they went under the code they dismissed the colored women because they were supposed to be paid $12 a weel Now, she said, “I haven't got a job, haven't got any money, but the case is in court.” A “rank and file” field worker de- clared that “the New Deal has done only one thing—organize comps.ny' Laundry Worker Speaks. A Washington laundry worker said conditions were bad in her industry. “They drive you like on a chain gang all day long,” she said. A union tobacco worker from North Carolina said “I can't say the N.R. A. has bettered conditions. It has shortened hours and increased wages, but when you get your pay envelope you find dess money.” The raise in wages has not com- | pensated for the fewer hours, he ex- plained. Southern share croppers said they had been persecuted by whites and had been driven from the land for union activity. N. R. A. Held Failure. John P. Davis, secretary of the Joint | Committee on National Recovery, told th opening session earlier in the day that the N. R. A. had completely broken down so far as “giving a real way which would guarantee a decent standard of living to Negro workers in the South.” Other speakers at the initial session were Dr. George E. Haynes of New York, member of the Council of Churches, who presided, and Dr. Abram L. Harris. In the afternoon the topic of “The Negro Industrial Worker” was dis- cussed at a meeting presided over by | Dr. Charles H. Wesley.

HEALTH GROUP REEKING IN CRIME|TO CONSIDER BILL Gov. Lehman Asked to 'Oust Beauty Parlor Regulation to Attorney and Employ Special Prosecutor. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 18—Declaring New York is saturated with vice and crime, the City Affairs Committee asked Gov. Herbert H. Lehman to- night to supplant the Tammany dis- trict attorney with a special prose- cutor. The committee, which took an ag- gressive part in efforts to oust former Mayor James J. Walker, denounced District Attorney William C. Dodge as “ineficient, or worse” and said it wolild ask Mayor F. H. La Guardia to order a special investigation of organ- ized vice, gambling and racketeering. Of District Attorney Dodge, the committee said: “In spite of able and courageous grand jurors and an aroused public opinion, there can be little done so long as this man occupies an office which he uses only to cheer himself and to jeer his critics.” Own “Witnesses Declared Called. The committee, headed by John Haynes Holmes, acted at the end of a week which brought published re- ports that a grand jury had “run away” from the district attorney by calling its own witnesses in an effort to run down the “big shot” gamblers. ‘The grand jury, which has been sit- ting since March, but thus far has found no indictments, cited a news- paper reporter in contempt during the week when he refused to divuige confidential information. A 30-day jail sentence was given the reporter, Martin Mooney of the New York American, but he was re- leased on a habeas corpus writ. Argument to Be Tuesday. Argument on the writ is scheduled for Tuesday, and the newspaper's at- torneys have promised to carry the case to the highest courts in event of | an adverse ruling. On the same day the grand jury, which was reported about to give up the chase late this week, expects to resume its deliber- ations. The City Affairs Committee ex- pressed a conviction that the major criminal activities if properly pursued, “would be found to emanate very largely from a single source and to be operated under a single direction.’ —_— 3-YEAR DRIVE STARTED FOR METHODIST REUNION By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 18.—Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal announced a three-year evangelistic campaign aimed to attain reunion of three historic Methodist denomina- tions coincident with the 200th an- niversary of John Wesley's conversion. The campaign, the bishops, here for their semi-annual meeting, hope, will culminate May 24, 1938, in a united American Methodist Church embrac- ing the Methodist Episcopal, the Methodist Episcopal South and Methodist Protestant bodies. The first two split a century ago over the question of slavery, and the third chose independence over differ- ences in church administration. Church today | Be Debated Thursday. Law Bill Up. ‘The Public Health Subcommittee of the House District Committee will be- gin hearings Thursday at 10:20 am. on the Quinn bill for regulation of beauty culture schools and so-called cosmetologists, cosmeticians and beau- ty culturists. ‘The measure, primarily, is designed to promote public health and safety by providing for examination and reg- istration of those engaged in the| beauty culture occupation. Beauty culture, as defined in the bill, includes all work done for com- Ppensation by any person in hair dress- | ing and beauty shops ordinarily pa- tronized by women. ‘The District Health Department, under provisions of the bill, would be required to issue all registration cer- tificates after the applicant had given | satisfactory evidence of ability as well | as being free from any contagious or infectious disease. The department would have power to refuse, revoke or suspend licenses for violation of reg- ulations, or for gross incompetency, or for dishonest or unethical practices. A schedule of fees is set up in the bill. Beauty shop owners, managers | and teachers would pay $5, operators | and manicurists $2 and students or | apprentices $1. Schools of beauty culture would pay $25 for a license. | E Simultaneous with the hearings on | the beauty culture bill, the Judiciary | Subcommittee will consider the bill passed by the Senate March 13 to| set up a new standard for lawyers in | the District. This measure would prevent any legal practitioner who is not & memuer of the bar of the Dis- trict Supreme Court from engaging in the practice of law. It also would | prohibit any person, not a member of | the bar from describing himself as an t law,” “counselor at law,” ‘attorney” or “counselor.” b 1114 Vermont Ave. N.W. ) NEY) g\,' 5949 Georgia Ave. 1423 L St. N.W. 1820 14th St. N.W.
