CALIFORNIANS INC., Dept. of the Washington College of Law: MUSSEYMEMORIAL CELEBRATIONISSET 30 Groups to Take Part in Homage to Former Educator. Plans were completed today for the city-wide Ellen 8p-nocer Mussey memo- rial celebration to be held Thursday at 8 pm. in Memorial Continental Hall. The celebration will mark the 87th anniversary of the birth of the former District educator, lawyer and social worker. Some 30 patriotic, civic and fraternal organizations will be represented at the ceremonies, which will be featured by several speeches and musical enter- tainment. Mrs. Norton to Talk. Arrangements have been made to re- | serve blocks of seats for delegations from various groups. Requests for res- ervations are being taken by Mrs. Hes- ter B. Warner, 317 Fourteenth street northeast. The public also is invited. Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle will preside. Speakers will include Mrs. Mary T. Norton, Representative from New Jersey; Dean Grace Hays Riley Mme. Julia Cantacuzene, national president of the Dames of the Loyal Legion of the United States of America; Walter Davidson, assistant manager, Eastern area, American Red Cross, and William Clark Taylor. Marine Orchestra to Play. ‘The Marine Band Orchestra, di- rected by Capt. Taylor Branson, will play, and a 60-voice chorus, comprised of singers from the Agriculture De- partment and the Farm Credit Ad- ministration, will sing, under the direction of Robert F. Freund, and accompanied by Edna Lee Freund. | Mrs. Charles Carroll Haig, assisted by Mrs. Warner, will lead the massing of the colors of the numerous organi- zations with which Dr. Mussey was affiliated. The invocation and benediction will | be delivered by Rev. Paul Sperry, pastor of the Church of the New Jerusalem. Abattoir (Continued Prom First Page.) nuisance industries from increasing capacity more than 25 per cent over the average operation of recent years. This would prevent the operation of the proposed enlarged abattoir and attendant stockyards on the Anacostia River and would direct the Zoning Commission and health officer of the District to make sure that existing nuisance industries shall not be unduly | injurious, obnoxious or offensive by reason of noise, smoke, odor, gas, dust or other objectionable features, and that the plant shall be used solely for | the purpose of supplying the needs of | the inhabitants of the District and adjacent territory.” | In referring to it generally, the planning and civic association said, “Now that the century-old practice which has excluded undesirable heavy industries from the District is threat- ened by the proposal of a packing house company to locate a regional abattoir and rendering plant in Wash- ington, with the full knowledge that it is unwelcome, it seems highly desir- able that Congress pass a law which will permanently bar from the city | recognized nuisance industries. | Not Industrial Cempetitor. “Washington can never expect to | develop industrial enterprises such as | exist in the prominent manufacturing | and commercial localities of the coun- try,” the association continued, “and consequently will not be an industrial competitor of another city * * *. It is evident that heavy manufacturing and industrial activities on a large scale are neither desirable nor eco- nomically feasible in Washington. “Every citizen in the United States has a stake in the Federal City, for there has been a tremendous invest- ment of Federal funds to make Wash- ington an outstanding world capitol. Congress is morally bound to protect its investment from depreciating influ- ences. Nuisance industries should be barred from the less than 70 square miles which now constitute the Fed- eral city.” Several Congressmen went on record yesterday as opposed to an abattoir within the confines of the District. Representative McGhee, Democrat, of Mississippi joined the opponents by declaring residential areas needed pro- tection from the infringement of un- desirable industries. With him were Representatives Short, Republican, of Missouri and Bates, Republican, of Massachusetts, the latter still mayor | of his home town, Salem, Mass., de- | spite serving in Congress.

Berry's favorite story is how his union never strikes. “We decided many years ago that it didn't pay,” he related. “We decided to take the strike money and build a pressmen's home down in Tennessee. We settle all our trouble by arbitration.” He has been the union's president since 1907. A former American Fed- eration of Labor vice president, he always voted with John L.

Marshall Finnan, superintendent of National Capital Parks, planned to appear in person today at the hearing, which will be held in the Senate Dis- trict Committee room. Finnan said the investment in parks | in the vicinity of the Benning site | owned by the Gobel Co. “runs into millions, and we are anxious to pro- tect it.” The District Commissioners will ap- pear accompanied by Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal in support of the King bill. The Commissioners issued the foundation permit for the proposed abattoir last year. When they denied & superstructure permit, each was sued by the Gobel Co. for $50,000. The Commissioners later issued a building permit after plans for the abattoir had been revised.

C., TUESDAY, I CROWISIY HiT BY HOUSE MEMBER Mitchell Files $50,000 Suit After Ejection From Ar- kansas Pullman Car. Bs the Associated Press. Representative Mitchell of Illinois, declaring that he was ejected from a Pullman car in Arkansas because he is colored, announced yesterday he had filed a $50,000 damage suit de- signed to end such “Jim Crow” segre- gation in that State. He said his attorneys filed the suit in Chicago against the Pullman Co., the Illinois Central Railroad and the trustees of the Rock Island Railroad. ‘The Representative said a train conductor, calling him “vile names,” ordered him to leave the Pullman April 21 near Forrest City, Ark., and enter a car reserved for colored per- sons. He was on his way from Chicago to Hot Springs, Ark., in the interests of his health. The incident, he con- tended, aggravated his illness. Displaying a letter from Gov. Tarl E. Bailey inviting him to call at the State capitol while in Arkansas, Mitchell told reporters his visit to Arkansas was “fine” except for the Pullman car affair. He predicted his suit would upset the Arkansas “Jim Crow” law which requires white and colored persons to travel in separate railway cars. LAW PASSED IN 1893, Specifically Orders Separate Cars for White and Colored. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May 11 (#)— The separate coach law of Arkansas has been in effect since 1893. The Arkansas law requires that all railway companies “shall provide equal but separate and sufficient accom- modations for the white and African races by providing two or more pas- senger coaches for each passenger train.” The law also permits use of partitioned coaches. It specifically prohibits joint use by the two races of sleeping or chair cars. Fallure of a railroad officer to en- force the segregation law is made punishable by a fine of $25. Rail- | roads and their employes are exempt from liability for enforcing the law, even to the extent of ejecting any passenger who may refuse to occupy the coach or compartment or room to which he or she is assigned. The 1937 Legislature adopted two other segregation laws, one applying to busses and the other to race tracks. g Plot (Continued From First amend some of his reform measures.” Dodd’s letter was to Senator Robert J. Bulkley, Democrat, of Ohio, with copies to Senator Carter Glass, Demo- crat, of Virginia, and others. It sought to warn these leaders against what the Ambassador foresaw as the danger of dictatorship “if the party breaks up,” and bespoke Dodd's belief that there was a tendency of “certain individuals of great wealth™” to promote the establishment of such & dictatorship. The Ambassador referred to crises in past United States history and con- cluded that the situation now was “more dangerous than at any time since Lincoln.” He added: “If the perty which re-elected Despite rapidly rising labor and material costs, the cold damp Spring weather sary to reduce makes it neces- our stock of Spring Suits and Topcoats— NOW'!

He said that the only issue which appeaced to be dividing the Democrats was the Pres- ident’s bill dealing with the Supreme Court. “I am in favor of the Presidents court bill,” said Bulkley. “I do not know anything about the threat of the dictatorship to which the Am- bassador refers.
