CAPITOL COMMENT

By AL WHITE

WASHINGTON, D. C.~(ANP)~
I don~t believe it~but here it is for
what it is worth. They say that
one of our leading ladies was invited to lunch at the White House,
in an informal manner. Arriving
and sitting at the table, the lady
removed. her shoe, which was
pinching a tootsie, when Falla, the
White House dog, sniffed it and
picked it up, running all over the
the house with the shoe. And was
the party, all woh them, ~
ed!

In the Winchell manner, it is
reported ~hat. the stork is hovering over ~the home of Ralph
Mizzell~s~she being the famous
Judge Jane Bolin of New
York~s court of domestic relations, he being a solicitor in the
office of the postmaster general,

Is it true that the mayor of Atlantic City frowns on Joe Louis~

presence in the city by the sea be-.

cause he attracts too many of hisown people to the resort?

Attending the opening baseball
game in Washington by way of radio
They say that practically all of the
members of congress are present at
the event.

Ran into Leroy Sterling, an old
day. Mr. Sterling is an education
| al adviser for a CCC camp near

Bordentown and seems to like his.
new home in Atlantic City. Asked
about all of his old triends he knew
in New York City, asking to be
remembered to them.

In peeling the paint off Howard theater, the old house looks
- like somephing else now. Lichtman takes care of his chain in
the best manner and makes it
pleasurable to visit the theaters,
even if you don~t get all of the
good pictures. Generally they
are prety good. Only he has to
cater to his clients~who seem
to like Westerns more than

anything else.

At a press conference Friday at
the Social Security board, it was
Dr. Ira DeA- Reid who was responsible for the gathering of colcred newsmen, They went right
into the problems of the board
and asked questions right and left
giving Max Stern, the information
chief, a great idea of what Negroes
want to know about the functions
of the act which is supposed to
cover and protect against future
needs.

According to a friend of ours in
Social Security, there are some five
million Negroes covered by this
act in all forms of employment except the main fields of domestics
and agricultural workers,

Incidentally, the recent. survey made in Baltimore of domestic workers with an idea of
bringing them in under the
coverage of the Social Security
aa is being worked out now for
an official report but officials
are going ahead with plans for
additional surveys, which ts
encouraging to say he least,

They are/unearthing something

here in front of our office and all

the noise of Hades has been hitting our ears from all sides for
the past two-days. They talk about
digging up streets in New York~
Washington has that beat to death
They never quit digging little holes
in the streets. here and that
doesn~t add to the pleasure of driving one whit.

A few rumors. are ~ persisting
around town which should make

1 nice juicy morsels of news or gos
sip sometime~in the very near future. Am busy chasing them.
-Sometime ago, I sent out sports
story~ on a wrestler answering
the name of Zimba Parker, a colered chap who had done pretty
well around Harlem way. Well,-he

is the first colored wrestler to show
in this burg, and is doing well for
himself~only they persist in calling
Zimba a Hindu. If hé~s a Hindu,
then Father Divine is a Chinaman. Ran into Zimba last - night
end he said he had taken my, ad- }

Back in Y harness again, to
help my old friend, James C.
Arnold, now functioning at the
local Y. They are having a
membership drive there and J.
C. wants me to do some of the
inside work for him. Well, anything to help an old friend out
but it -makes me break a
promise I made myself when I
came into ~he town,

This Paul Robeson: thing is a
honey-folks resigning and. carrying on and publicity bursting all
over town. Som folks are for it and
some against it.: I~m neither~it~s
just good news. for us. But the
concensus of opinion is that they
did a wrong thing in taking the
concert to the Uline arena. But
that~s no business of mine either.
If they want to go to a spot which
conveniently invokes a jim-crow law
when they want to, it~s O. K. by
us.,,Sc long, until the next time. It~s
hot as hector here and getting hotter, Summer got mixed up with
spring and moved right in on us.

~democracies~ to which we afte

so unthinkable, to the average
mind, =~ any rate, is a Hitler world
of sustained hate and terror and
master-race lordship. ~

This much is clear, though, we

~are witnessing today no mofe im

than one for markets and raw materials and colonies; it is a struggle
between fundamental ways. of living, of looking at life, of shaping

earth, it is a world revolution, no

less.
IN GRAVE DANGER

Revolutions can be muffed, And
the ~democracies~ are in grave |
danger of muffing this one. The.
Nazi _ Fascists, creature, of the
revolutionary twenty years, are trying to pervert this revolution; they
would turn the clock backward,
bring men to a lower. and not a.
higher ~destiny, brutalize and not |
humanize men, defile and not duly |
celebrate the human spirit. Victory for the Nazi-Fascists would
be like leading mankind out jntc
a. great and barren wilderness. Yet
what do the ~democracies~ pro-:
pose to do to win, to save mankind
from the fate of the Nazi - Fascists |
haye so clearly indicated?

Do the ~democracies~, for example, think they can meet the
revolutionary challenge of ihe

Nazi-Fascists with non-revolutionary attitudes, with things-as-usual
fixations? Do they think to channe] the aspirations of the people
of the world today back into the
old moulds, the old streams of consciousness?;

Don~t they know the hour of
fundamental change is struck?
Don~t they know that they can~t
meet a revolutionary situation with
old methods, old prejudices, old
outlooks?
