MEDICAL
HEARING HELD FOR T(
HOLDS CONFERENCE
HOUSTON.—A Clinicar conzer-r ----------------------------------------------
ence on Syphilis and Gonorrhea
sponsored by the Harris County
Medical Society, the Houston City
Health Department, the Houston
Medical Forum and the Social Hy-
giene Committee was held at the
old Jefferson Davis hospital Thurs-
day and Friday February 23 and 24.
A number of specialists and au-
thorities on Venereal Diseases were
speakers during the conference.
Prominent among the speakers was
Dr. Walter Clarke, head of the Ve-
nereal Disease Clinics of New York
City.
The latest scientific means of
treating venereal diseases were dis-
cussed.
At the session of the Conference
held Thursday evening, Dr. J. G.
Gathings presided and Dr. Clarke
spoke on the Social Hygiene Move-
ment and the Program for Control
of Venereal .Diseases. At the con-
clusion of his lecture, various doc-
tors questioned him at length re-
garding the methods of treatment
he discussed in his lecture.
Dr. Thelma Patten Law, one of
the speakers during the session dis-
cussed Some of the Clinical Mani-
festations of Cogenital Syphilis.
Dr. C. W. Pemberton spoke on the
Work of Controlling the Disease a-
mong Industrial Workers.
Each session was well attended by
‘ some of the leading physicians, both
colored and white.

to organize themselves.
A Mr. Coger spoke for the CIO.
He stated that he was not an of-
ficial of the CIO but sympathized
with the body's program, because
every member of the organization
is considered a brother worker. He
accredited the AFL with having
carried on the fight of organized
labor up to the last several years.
Mr. Coger, though he described him-
self as nut being an official of the
CIO, possessed unusual first hand
information on the organization’s
activities in Texas. He pointed to
the support of a Mexican shrimp
peelers strike by white oil workers
as evidence of his contention that
every member in the CIO is a
brotherly worker.
Spanish People Send Message
A message of congratulation from
the Spanish and Mexican Peoples’
Congress in Denver was read and
received wide acclaim, for it was
read immediately after several
speakers urged cooperation of the
minority groups.
Maverick Speaks
.The highlight of the Congress was
the address of former Congressman
: Maury Maverick of San Antonio.
' Mr. Fitzgerald of the Alamo city
introduced the liberal ex-solon as
the next mayor of San Antonio.
“Fellow Americans,” Maverick
addressed the assembly. His speech
followed a rendition of vocal selec-
tions by the celebrated Samuel Hus-
tore A Cappella Choir. Maverick
said he learned through the beauti-
full singing of an Indian woman-
that the voice of God knows no
color, and called the singing of the
Huston group the greatest he had
ever heard.
Maverick said he liked to, see col-
ored people dignified and not al-
ways bowing to white people. “I
Ttlte to see you polite, but it is not
necessary to play the role of a bow-
ing Tom,” he said. He continued,
“All races should have forbearance
and intelligence to solve problems
in a decent way.”
• MAVERICK described democracy
as talking, praying and thinking as
one pleases and eating regularly.
Be said the colored man was en-
titled to equal pay for equal work
and urged Negroes to work towards
that end. "Economic well-being is
more essential then Jim Crow laws,”
Maverick said.
The liberal ex-congressman urged
Negroes to let white friends do
things for them without so many
questions. He cited an incident in
which a race teacher asked him i
he approved Jim Crow laws afte
he had addressed a mixed Souther
assembly. "I don't have to answer
all questions," was his answer to
the teacher.
Considers Birmingham Parley
a Failure
Maverick said he was more in-
terested in the Negro's getting a
nickel to ride the trolley car with
than he was where he had to sit.
He scored the Birmingham confer-
ence as being a failure and scored
the south’s attitude that the Negro's
success "might cause trouble. He
urged Negroes to tell poor whites
in certain terms that they were in
the same boat and to work towards
amicable and cooperative means of
helping each other to economic se-
curity. “Don’t ‘Uncle Tom’ them to
do this," he emphatically urged.
Maverick said he was no friend
to the Negro solely on the basis of
his race, but that he was friend to
mankind. He said this should be
the theme ot more liberal thinking
whites. The assumption of many
that Maverick was defeated in the
Congressional race was torn down
when he said it was his vote for
the National Labor, Relations Act
that cost him his seat in the lower
house, but assured that he would
vote for the bill again because he
believed in a decent standard of
living for all sections. He lauded
the Social Security program as be-
ing good because it serves child
welfare of the entire nation.
Lands F. D. R.
President Roosevelt was described
as the greatest friend the American
people ever had. He compared the
president’s congenial manner of
winning friends with the ruthless
tactics of the dictators. “Mr. Roose-
velt smiles and talks his was into
your hearts, but II Duce and Herr
Hitler gain their way with a bayo-
net,” he said.
Why He Opposes Lynching
Maverick, said he was lynched
with public opinion long before the
anti-lynch bill came up for a vote
after careful deliberation he voted
for it not because it was for Ne-
groes, but because it was for all
citizens. “They lynch white people
too,” he said.
He said prejudices were breaking
down in Texas and said the state
was far better than Louisiana, Miss-
issippi and most of the other South-
ern states. He said most of the
prejudice in Texas was found in
the eastern portion and said it was
possible that congressmen west of
that area would perhaps some day
vote for the anti-lynch measure.
Eloquently closing his address
Maverick said, “Your leaders must
have backbone. It's all right to pray,
but they must be willing to be per-
secuted in their fight for RIGHTS."
4 Education 4
The educational unit of the con-
gress opened its afternoon session
Friday with an address delivered
by J. W. Rice and was followed by
addresses by Miss N. B. Jenkins of
Austin, Mrs. L. Suldon Taylor and
E. L. Snyder. The problems of bet-
ter facilities for schools in rural
areas, the necessity of immediate
action on a graduate school pre-
grim for Texas Negroes and equali-
zation in teachers salaries in Tex-
as were discussed at length by the
educational group.

Newton, prominent Houston social-
ite and young attorney of Cincin-

sistant County Prosecutor of Ham-

the body concerned.
In Phoenix, Arizona, Mrs. Henry
M. ,Robcrt, president-general of the
D.A.R., declined to comment. Consti-
tution hall, one of the larger andi-
toriums here, is owned by the
D.A.R.
Should Work Within
She explained that she felt a mem
ber of an organization should work
within it to end policies with which
the member did not sympathize, or
should resign.
When those at her press confer-
ence tried to identify the organi-
zation, she good-naturedly parried
their questions.
And the organization would have
to give her reasons, she said, in re
ply to questions whether her dis-
pleasure was related to protests by
some artists and others that Marian
Anderson’s failure to get Constitu-
tion hall was due to racial preju-
dices and not to an earlier booking,
as the hell manager asserted.
Previous Booking
Mrs. Roosevelt readily confirmed,
however, that she had sent a tele-
gram to a mass meeting held Sun-
day to protest what leaders termed
the “exclusion" of the singer from
Constitution hall and from Central
High school here.
She said her message read:
“I regret extremely that Washing-
ton is to be deprived of hearing
Marian Anderson, who is a great
artist.'"
Although the D.A.R. has made
no statement, Frederick Hand', Con-
stitution hall manager, said that the
hall had been booked more than a
year ago by the National Symphony
orchestra for the afternoon of April

John A. Fowlkes.
J. W. Constant, who presided elo-
quently, stated the object of the
meeting and introduced Mrs. Con-
stance Thompson, member of the
faculty of the Booker T. Washington
High school. Mrs. Thompson in turn
introduced Dr. W. M. Drake, presi-
dent of the Houston Negro Chamber
of Commerce, Dr. Drake, an elo-
quent speaker, made a plea for co-
operation and outlined a construe-
live program for the chamber. In
his outline, he included a state
bank for Negroes in Houston and
a number of department stores
owned and managed by Negroes.
The labor candidate supporters were
enthusiastic over the suggest ioons
made by the president and the ap-
plause was deafering.
Master of Ceremonies Constant
then introduced the Honorable John
Fowlkes, the labor candidate for
Bronze Mayor. Candidate Fowlkes
spoke for four minutes and during
his short talk he made a plea for
cooperation among the colored peo-
ple of Houston and outlined r
constructive plan that would add
to the prestige of the colored people
of Houston.
Following the talk by Mr. Fowlkes,
several of the Labor Union leaders
or the waterfront spoke In behalf
of the labor candidate and insisted
on the citizens of Houston electing
Fowlkes for Bronze Mayor.
The committee representing the
“Fowlkes for Mayor" campaign, add-
ed interest to the meeting by their
persuasive plea to the large audience
present to elect a labor candidate
for Bronze Mayor.

laboring man, will be heard of and
sean much during the coming year.
It is most fortunate that Labor and
The recalled profes jonal group
have linked hand and hand and
wadded in the efforts to uplift Ne-
grees. Mr. Fowlkes’ election will
also destroy another bugaboo that
has hampered the chamber of com-
miner. Too often the average man
in the street has said that the cham-
her of commerce belongs to a few
professional men and “big” Ne-
groes downtown. Now, with one
from their own group in the top
position, they will have to take the
attitude that they too are a part
of the chamber of commerce.
This is the first time the Bronze
Mayor contest has really clicked
for the chamber of commerce. The
Bronze Mayor contest as started by
The Informer three years ago, when
it elected as the first Bronze Mayor
of Houston Prof. W. L. Davis, prin-
eipal of Harper school. That cam-
paign was a success financially, and
also a success from a civic stand-
point, because The Informer saw to
it that its Bronze Mayor stayed in
the forefront and had his oopportun-
ity in civic affairs. Then the fol-
lowing year. The Informer turned
the Bronze Mayor idea over to the
chamber of commerce. But it has
taken some of the members a couple
of years to get into the idea and
sell themselves on the benefits of
a Bronze Mayor. The first year they
failed to raise their quota through
the Bronze Mayor contest; neither
was their candidate. Bronze Mayor
Jemison, given all of the prestige
and honor that should have beeri
given to a winner of the office. It
is to be hoped that Mr. Fowikts
will be given the proper honor and
the proper prestige that goes with
the office. If Mr. Fowlkes is accord-
ed the respect and prestige due the
office, it may safely be predicted
that next year instead of raising
approximately $3000.00, the Bronze
Mayor campaign will probably raise
$5000.00 through the chamber of
commerce.
In the early part of the campaign
one of the labor leaders was highly
indignant because someone down-
town had carelessly said that if
Fowlkes were elected, we would
have an ignorant mayor. Whoever
made that statement is very ig-
norant of the Labor movement and
the type of leadership that it now
enjoys. John A. Fowlkes is a Chris-
tian gentleman*—he doesn't just, be-

We also understand that he doesn’t
even "understand one thing about
negotiating a working agreement
from any angle. Therefore why
should organized labor stop to think
of such simple expressions from
such an individual or individuals?
We deem such representatives to
organized labor as the Christian
deems the infidel, the atheist, ag-
nostic. etc., that is, “they are behind
in their own thinking."
However, we are interested in
our people seeing the light of or-
ganized labor and its forces. We
und rstand that certain company or-
ganizations have deemed themselves
bonafide organizations and as soon
as any member has been laid off
from this particular job, he ceases

a say over the money.

day February 20, but he was grant-
ed a continuance on account of the
absence of two defense witnesses.
Before the continuance was grant-
ed by Judge King, a motion was
made by his attorneys to quash the
indictment on the grounds that the
grand jury which indicted him did
not have any Negroes oa it and
that they had been intentionally
exeluded.
In Saturday’s Habeas Corpus
hearing the state in opposing the
granting of bail to the youth of-
fcred the indictment as evidence.
The defense attorneys, Davis and
Freeman offered as evidence the
fact that the youth was friendless
and unable to make bond and that
even if a low bond was set, it! was
doubtful if he could make it. ‘ They
stated that the N. A. A. C. P. be-
came interested in the case because
of its doubtful nature. At this point
Judge King remarked that’s the
N. A. A. C. P. could make a $10,000
bond for the boy if they wanted
to.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Judge King set bond at $3,500. The
defense placed a son-in-law of the
alleged victim on the stand and
established the location of the house
where the alleged crime occurred
and the fact that the accused youth
came to the house without offering
any resistance when he was told
that the women had accused him.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Judge King set his bond at $3,500.
