AN EDITORIAL Why did Mr. Hoover, shortly before adjournment of Con gress, precipitately withdraw for Senatorial confirmation as District of Mississippi?

S. in their arguments. However out' that Democratic Senators nation as a piece of campaign ination to stand by the Mississippian is said to have undergone a sudden change. Mrs. Mary C.

Booze, Republican National Committee woman for Mississippi, who led the fight against Montgomery, has attributed the last minute actions of the President to the storm of protest against Montgomery's appointment from the Negro press, religious, fraternal and civic organizations throughout the country, and race women in general. But if what White House attaches and others say is true, she is laboring under a misapprehension. Herbert Hoover is the only person either to affirm or deny with authority that Montgomery's name was withdrawn because of an insult to Negro womanhood. This he should do to settle what has become a major controversy among Negroes of the United States. If he fails to do so it is the duty of Perry Howard and Mary C.

Booze' to resign as Republican National Committeeman tand Republican National Committeewoman as a rebuke to President of the United States for his indifference or lack of respectful consideration for one tenth of the nation's population. In the past The New York has ardently and consistently championed the cause of all Republican nominees' for the Presidency; but unless Mr. Hoover speaks out ami tells why he withdrew the Montgomery nomination, it will be impossible for The New Age to support him in this campaign.

Neither is there any desire to laud or exalt him for, knowing him as the writer does, he would object to that. But the main point of this article is to place before your mind and attention something that should start you thinking and pondering. Just a few questions: How many know anything about the College of the Propagation of the, Faith here in.

Rome? How many can Negro boys have ever studied in this famous and time honored institution? and that was Father Tolton. There has not been another until this present day and I will tell you about the other stu dent in the following lines. Behold one of your boys, blazing a new trail, opening a new field, creating interest in our group from a new angle. He is here in Rome, a student of the Propagation of the Faith. As a matter of introduction, let me present to you Charles Jackson, a convert to the church a little less than four years, a regular St.

Paul in his fight for recognition and determination to follow the workings of the holy spirit. This young man is a native of Florida but went to Philadelphia in his early teens. Having passed through various denominations of the Christian faith, he at least passed into the Holy Roman Catholic Church. He worked very hard for both living and education. During his senior at the Roman Catholic Hish School in Philadelphia he was able to main tain himself by selling tea, coffee and by singings God blessed him with a wonderful baritone voice, One day in October.

But there was'one person who did not think him crazy or tell' him to go back and that person who did not think him crazy or tell him to go back and that person was His Holiness Pope Pius XI. This was his, last hope and one day.

as the rope was passing by. Jackson gave his let ter to the Monsignor preceding the Pope who in turn gave it to the Pope. After reading the let ter, the Pope sent the young man to the College of the Propaganda. The making of history for the American Negro Catholic in Rome had begun. The year is now over arid Mr, Jackson has successfully, pased his examinations and received his de gree of Bachelor of Philosophy In passing, I must' pay a tribute, and a most worthy one.

Man Shoots Self On 141st Street The rigid body of a man stretched out on the curb in front of 227 West 141st street wtih a stream of blood flowing from his head, was the grim spectacle that several persons gathered to witness on Sunday evening about 9.1 5 The ambulance and its occupants arrived and the doctor pronounced hin dead and left him. for other means of removal. It was discovered that while sitting in his automobile in front of 227 West 141st street, Raphael Lowe, 33 years.
