Columbia, Mo.—(By Elizabeth R.

Cobb for ANP)—A hearing to de-termine whether or not Lloyd L.Gaines, Segro, of St. Louis may

be admitted to the University of

Missouri law school, was held inBoone circuit court Friday withcolored spectators occupying athird of the court room.

After a day spent in hearingwitnesses, counsel for both sideswill submit briefs and Judge Dun-witte will render a decision, pro-bably not before 10 days.

The case is being pushed by theN. A. A. C. P. Gaines was repre-sented in his mandamus suit byCharles R. Houston Sydney Red-mond, Henry D. Espy and Wither-spoon. Then contended Gainescould receive equaitly of of oppor-tunity only by being permitted tostudy at Missouri U. Attorneys forthe university declared separateschools had been provided by statelaw and policy and university cura-tors had no choice other than torefuse to admit Gaines.

Senator Rollins, president of theboard of curators of Lincoln uni-versity, the state supported color-ed school, contended that if a Ne-gro were admitted to Missouri U.it would cause a breach of dis-cipline. Dean Houston immediate-ly asked if that had been the caseat the University of Maryland towhich a Negro was admitted aftera legal battle. Rollins answeredthat he “didn’t know.”

Redmond in reviewing Gaines’effort to become a student at theuniversity, said the youth hadbeen completely acceptable until itwas learned he was a Negro. Al-though it was suggested thatGaines take advantage of thescholarship provided by the statefor the instruction of Negro stu-dents at schools outside of Mis-souri in courses taught by thestate university but not at Lincoln

Claims To Have Become A Rich Man DuringThe Depression While Holding A Big

Federal Position

NEW YORK—(Calvin Service)—Robert L. Vann’s boust that he hasbecome a rich man during the de-pression, a large part of whichtime he held a high Federal posi-tion and was head of a newspaperat the Bame time, may cause Chair-man James A. Farley of the Demo-

Motor City ElksHold Initiation

There was a large attendance alElks Rest on Chene street, Sun-day afternoon, July 12 to witnessthe initiation ceremonies conduct-ed by the Motor City Lodge ofElks No. 962, of which ExalterGrand Ruler Gregory is head.

Many candidates were initiatedinto the obligations and secrets ofthe fraternal order. Fallowing theinitiation inspiring addresseswere delivered by the ExaltedGrand Ruler an other prominentofficials, including Hon. Brazil J.Bryant, who instructed the newmembers in the secrets of Elkdom.

Following the ceremonies re-freshments were served in theclub room on the second floor.

THhe Motor City Lodge is con-ducting a drive for new membersand a special dispensation is of-fered for a limited period. All per-sons eligible for membership areinvited to take advantage of thisdispensation.

cratic National Committee tochange his plans about letting Vannhandle all the money among color-ed folk of the $2,000,000 Demo-cratic drive to be made in the na-tion.

Vann, according to an interviewpublished in a daily newspaper lastweek, said he had about ail a poorman could want, and boasted thathe owned a $50,000 estate inPittsburgh. Vann sent the Olym-pic Committee a check for SSOOlast week, and all of this, comingso soon after it had been announc-ed that there had been a reshufflein the colored Democratic “HighCommand"’ which narrowed] theone-time “Big Pour” down to a“Big Two”, with Vann as chief ofthe new set-up, is causing thesmall-fry politicians to become res-tive, lest these straws indicatethat not even the crumbs willfall from the “Big Two” table.

Already attacked in his homestate as “a most thoroughly dis-liked man”, Vann has now addedto his woes by announcing to thewhite folks that he is rich whenthousands of Negroes are on reliefand yet insisting that he handleALL the funds to get those relief-voters to mark their ballots forRoosevelt. New York politicians,who opposed Vann anyway as an“outsider”, now say if Big JimFarley still insists on letting Vannrun the show, it will be just toobad for the Democrats. A driveis already under way on Farley toforce him to change his plans forVann.

A slight eye injury received byLewis in his recent victory overMax Merak necessitated the post-ponement.

Lewis, as champion, has beencleaning up all of the competitionin the light heavy ranks and isnow contemplatrng stepping Intothe heavier division and is report-ed to be seeking a fight with theheavy title holder, James J.

fore the latter became champ andwas virtually robbed of the de-cision in the fight, so he has amplereason to yell for a go with “Jer-sey Jim.”

i Owens At Berlin1

When Jesse Owens steps into thevast Olympic Stadium at Berlinnext month he will be the markedathlete. The news of his unbe-lievable track exploits have reach-ed into the four corners of the

.earth and every sprinter that en-counters Owens cannot help buthave a slight feeling of inferioritywhen he toes the mark. Thereforewith this feeling prevailingaround him, Jesse should be ableto clean up at Berlin.

Then on the other hand there isOwens himself. What thoughts willcreep through his head as he findshimself the center of attraction ofthe 1936 Olympic Games. He willundoubtedly suffer some mentalstrain that may or may not hamp-er his running form. He will beconscious of the fact that all of hisopponents are laying for him. Bythat I mean that some of thoserunners w'ould be as happy to gohome and tell the folks that theybeat Owens as they would to takean Olympic title back with them.

Owens will also realize that theUnited States is counting on himto capture three first places. Hecan’t disappoint his country. Hewill also know that of the. 17 Ne-groes representing Uncle Sam, heis the main hope of Black Ameri-cans at Berlin.

He is in something of the samespot that Louis was in at NewYork when he met Schmeling June18th last. Experts all over theworld are conceding the 100 and200 meters and the hroadjump toOwens. The experts were almostunanimous in their choice of Louisover Schmeling.

Jesse is on the spot. Hitler willbe watching him as well as the 16other brown skin Americans. Thewhole stadium will be watchingthem. But Jesse will be the markedman at Berlin.

The experts say that past per-formances and records mean verylittle at the Olympic Games. I dis-agree. i personally am cocksurethat he will come through onehundred percent, but he will bethe marked man at Berlin.

Hello, my reading friends! 1am very glad to be writing youfrom Cordele, Georgia. At thiswriting, it is quite hot here—almosttoo hot for me.

Last Sunday, I attended SnowhillBaptist Church, of which Rev.Franklin is pastor. Rev. Frank-lin delivered a forceful sermon toa well-packed house. After thediscourse, lunch was served in theschoolhouse, and all present hadan enjoyable time.

People here all go to church onSunday and all the churches arecrowded.

I am in the section of Georgiawhere the recent storm passedthrough. The U. S. Governmenthas replaced all property destroy-ed by the storm.

It has been so dry here, thatfarmers were afraid that their comand cotton would not grow. Cropswere all drying up. but last Sun-day a heavy rain fell.

I was very much impressed by acourt trial recently held here, inwhich a colored man, charged withstealing a cow and selling it to awhite man, was brought into court.He had no witnesses and no at-torney, although the plaintiff hadboth. The colored man’s inno-cence was so evident that he wasacquitted. Now, he will have toleave this part of Georgia, becausehe believes those who tried to con-vict him will continue to pick athim, until he is forced to commitsome serious crime. Had he beenfound guilty by the courts, hewould have been sentenced to twoyears on the Georgia chain gang.

Wages are very cheap. Men areforking on turpentine farms inthis vicinity, for fifty cents a day.Even the colored WPA workersget only $3.50 a week, sometimesless. Food, however, is rathercheap and no sales tax has to bepaid here.

Next w'eek. I shall write youmore about the South and livingconditions of the colored people inthis locality.

“Two Against The World,” withHumphrey Bogart, the screen’snumber one “bad man”, and Bev-erly Roberts in the leading roles,is now showing at the State Thea-tre on the same program with RossAlexander in “Hot Money.’ “TwoAgainst the World” concerns a/oman who is pilloried by the greedof a radio syndicate, catering tothe whims of a sensation lovingpublic.
