Pointing out that America s col-
ored women were anxious to co-
operate in all federal programs
and that only the appointment of
Negro woilien to social bureaus
and agencies could adequately care
for the peculiar and specific prob-
lems of the race's women and
children, the council asked:
1. Appointment of a capable
woman to an administrative posi-
tion In the children's bureau.
2. Employment of an adminis-
trative officer, physicians, medical
service workers, public health
nurses and nutritionists to the
Bureau of Public Health Service,
which now has only one Negro
health officer;
ii. Appointment of a woman,
familiar with labor problems and
the economic and industrial situa-
tion, to the Women's bureau of
the U. 8. Department of Labor;
4. Appointment of a woman
Htaff-member in each department
of the bureau of education whose
program is concerned with the
educational well-being of women
and children;
5. That President Roosevelt, as
ex-officio head of the American
Red Cross, suggest that the or-
ganization immediately appoint an
administrator to integrate the
American Negro into the activities
of the Red Cross;
G. Appointment of a qualified
I woman in an administrative ca-
pacity to the Federal Housing
Administration and United States
Housing Authority;
7. Placing of a trained woman
in an administrative position on
the Social Security board.
Several of the colored men now
holding important administrative
posts in the federal government
were presented Monday morning to
the friends and delegates of the
conference by Mrs. Bethune.
Among them were Lawrence A.
Oxley, field representative of U.
S. employment service; Dr. Robert
C. Weaver, special assistant to
Nathan Stnius, administrator of
the I'. S. Housing Authority; and
I)r. Frank S. Home, formerly as-
sistant to Mrs. Bethune in the
NYA, now assistant to Dr. Weaver.
The afternoon session was held
in the East Kootn of tho White
House at which time the delegates
were received by Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt. Many heads of federal
departments and bureaus were
present. A presentation of the
findings of the conference was
made by Mrs. Clara B. Bruce, ex-
ecutive secretary of the National
Council of Negro Women. Two
minute talks each on various prob-
lems affecting Negro women were
given by selected persons.
Every member of the conference
appreciated the sympathetic, un-
derstanding attitude of Mrs. Roose-
velt toward problems facing Ne-
gro women. The delegates made
it clear that they did not come
with palm outstretched as mere
recipients, but came with an abid-
ing belief in the value of the con-
tribution that capable, well trained
Negro women could make in the
planning and carrying out the fed
eral programs for social better-
ment.

yen will want to remember that 111 1910) they permitted the antl-
lyncliiiig bill to be shelved. Hut they might as well have fought the
issue to a final test if it hail taken the whole of the session to do
it. So far, the congress lias done nothing but authorize the spending
nf more money, mid successfully block passage of the entire Pre*
idenlial program. It is not so much the Idorking of the plans out-
lined by the President as it is the fact that the solons don't have any
picgram of fir.'ir own, nud won't do any thing ah,mt the programs
.uhniltted by the leader of the Wellington government—except argue
alniiit them ami then send them to the junk heap where the antl-
lynehlng hill lies hurled.

IN THE MAIL . . , Along with the other mail that we receive
from time to time came, tills week, a "franked" folder from one of
the state iintional representatives. The folder contained ex.trpl.i frrtn
a speech rendered by Torn Connally, senator from Texas, on the
aiiti-lynciiing bill, In Die Senate on November IB anil 17. (Note: Two
days to deliver a fpeecti in which nothing constructive was said.)
The representative who sent out the folder prefaced the sena'or's
remarks with a paragraph commending the stand taiien hy C_:tnaily.
In his preface, the representative lauded tile speech as being oi.o
of the finest ever delivered in the Senate, lie expresses rrra,i!i:de
to Senator Connally for the wonderful service lie is rendering the
people of Texas.
1 lie wonder of it all is why the Hon. Martin Dies would send
a copy of Connaliy's ■ perch to us. We don't knoiv whether to take
it ns an insult, or to look upon it as an exaaiple of Inn til lie our
representatives know about the people they represent. Or may-lie
they just want to clutter lip the mails at Farley's oxpvtue anil cum,
hy sending out these "excerpts" to the folks Imck hwue in the h pe
that they will gamer a few more votes. If tho latter i < Mr. Dies'
point, he should know that we villi have no hand in voling Ur.
Connally back into his soft ieat at the nutiiHial fee.1 ironrfi. We
can't vote in July, and the reason that we can't is because cf win
like Connally.

Kverybody either likes to be In the procession in order to make It
pretty or otheroite, or they like to look at lkw> who Uke to be In
it. We had a mile-long parade last Sunday, and thousands of folk,
some who hadn't been '.o town for weeks, watrhed ftp procession an
it wound Its way through the rlty. From all reports It tvai Indeed
a Rood parade. The bands played, the banners waved proudly In the
Spring breeie, and gaily bedecked floats drplcted (lie value of claca-
iiness and hygiene to one's personal health. Decorated cars to!d
the world Ihat this or Ihat organisation ji solidly beViid Die cncade
to make us poor creatures more hralthy sj Ihv we may live longer
anil die easier. It was all well and gaod and everybody rnjoyed it.
II was a line spectacle.
But it matters not how good an effort might be, or h.r.v nohl*
a purpose, there will always be the critics. So let's hear from than:
N'imiber one—'Die thing wasn't arrangrd right; so-an-vi should have
been ahead of so-and-so, and whoever had to do with lh> nrranjinj
mi;;ht know a lot about this and that, lint when it enmes to a pirads
they arc the nuts. Number two: (This cne is worthy of considera-
tion).—Persons who enter the parade ihould be careful not to vhdatfl
the rules by having commercial advertising on their entries. KnJrljs
should only enter cars and flonls Hint are in u healthy lookir.j con-
dition—not some dilapidated bulk, made to look worne by poor taste
in color ami design of the paper streamers crudely wrapped aroiml
it. The parade is a HEALTH demonstration and everything in it,
and about it, should be in tip-top shnpe. Individuals and (groups
should be sure that (hey present a picture that shows pood ta"!e ar.d
artistic workmanship. Placards ought to he properly worded and the
printing should he of the best style nnd type available. If it cos's
money fo enter your unlf, spend the money. It would prol/tldy be
better for all concerned, and certainly give the critics Irss to gripe
about, if Hie parade were shorter and not marred by nny unsightly
unit or poorly decorated car or float.
But to the critics, those in charge of the Health Week Activities
might say: The guy who crillrlznt without giving proof that he can
do better is no critic but, he is, on the other hand, a disgruntled
juck-in-the-box.
Gl'ILTV . . , ''In our opinion, the verdict of the jury to the ecn-
fiary notwithstanding, Hint Andre woman nnd her ganjiter sneet-
hrart were the murderers of Faulkner. And if justice had been done,
the law would have locked up the whale bunch. But at that, we
think that Faulkner got his just desserts". Such was the comments
made by one-half of those wlio saw "January 16" on April 8. The
other half of our friends, who take their drama seriously, was ready
to do battle with any one wlio did not think that the verdict rendered
by the jury, picked from the audienre, was not the right one. Tliey
were still arguing the case on the streets long after the curtain
dropped on the lust act of the Rand thriller.
Somebody even went so far to say that the whole trial was 'agin'
all the rules of court procedure because the father of cne of tha
court attendants was a member of the jury. They wanted, and still
tio, tlic case Iried over again.
Where does this writer stand oil the question? Well he Is with
those who believe the bewitching Karen Andr? and Larry Regan
did wipe out the swindler Faulkner, Yeh, ,lo we think yon are a
guilty 'oman.
One of the jurors Is reported as wanting flic regular fee for his
services during the trial. He demanded #2.50. However, the
sponsors of the play did announce thnt the admission prlco would be
refunded those who served as members of the panel. Since they
rendered a verdict contrary to our belief, we hope they don't collect
a penny.
