this ONE WONT BOUNCE—Here Is the check for $25,000 which The Star relayed to Howard
University as a gift from the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. The university
will use it as a starter for a study in cancer detection and early treatment. —Star Staff Photo.
Morning Mail Brings $25,000
For Howard Cancer Research
Let it slip up on you unsuspect
ingly, and $25,000 can produce quite
a jolt .... Like the 25 grand that
found its way into a newspaper
office, of all places.
It came disguised in a plain white
envelope, like dozens of others
dumped on an editor’s desk each
day. Except this one was labeled
“special delivery.”
The most special thing about it
was a green rectangular paper with
red numbers. The editor allowed
himself two looks, took a firmer
hold on the swivel chair, and called
his secretary.
"This looks to me just like $25,000,”
he said. (Remember, this was the
early morning mail.) “You look.”
She did—three times—and the
editor felt better. It read $25,000
to her, too.
There was an accompanying
letter, of course, explaining that the
$25,000 was for Howard University
from the Damon Runyon Cancer
Research Foundation and signed
Walter Winchell. Would the re
cipient please forward it?
Yesterday the check was dropped
unceremoniously on the desk of Dr.
Mordecai Johnson, Howard presi
dent, by a reporter wanting to see
how others reacted to a $25,000
bundle.
Dr. Johnson reacted, all right
“Not bad at all, not bad at all,” he
said through a broad smile. Then
he confessed he knew the money
was on its way.
But the five red digits raised the
eyebrows and pursed the lips of his
assistant, Frederick G. Stanton, who
walked in a bit later.
“Wow,'’ he exclaimed. “I don’t
handle this much money every day.
In fact, that's a gross understate
ment.”
Two other interested people re
acted with smiles, too. They were
Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, dean of
medicine, and Prof. Robert J. Ja
son, head of the department of
pathology. They saw in the $25,000
fulfillment of their dream of cancer
research at Howard.
The dream began to materialize

Legion Posts.
Following will be marching pla
toons of Wacs, Waves and Women
Marines, carrying flags of the 48
States and three territories, with
the National Guard of Honor of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars bringing
up the rear.
After all units are assembled, the
massed bands will play the Star
Spangled Banner and then pay
tribute to all the States.
This is only the beginning of an
evening that will be jam-packed
with fun and entertainment. The
program committee is dishing it up
slowly to guard against discourag
ing the teams.
"You know how Congressmen like
to be the whole show,” observed one
member.
Both teams have practice sessions
scheduled this week. The Republi
cans will drill at Eastern High
School stadium but the site of the
Democratic workout was a secret.
Use of the stadium for the game
has been donated by Clark Griffith,
president of the Washington Base
ball Club, and expenses will be held
to a minimum to help swell the
[camp fund.

plied for and received $25,000 from
the United States Public Health
Service for teaching purposes.
Now the new $25,000 check will
pave the way for research in early
detection and treatment of cancer.
It will provide for a full-time clini
cal assistant to faculty members
now conducting the clinic two hours

The research will be carried on in
connection with diagnosis and treat

the university now will be able to

eventually concentrating on some as

Father Given 90 Days
In Slashing of Son, 4
A father yesterday got 90 days In
jail for cutting his 4-year-old son
on the cheek with a butcher knife.
In his trial before Judge Ellen K.
Raedy- in Municipal Court, Jesse
Owens, 36, colored, of the 1000
block of First street N.W., denied the
cutting was intentional. He said he
and his wife were arguing in their
kitchen yesterday and that, when
he picked up a knife lying on the
table, he inadvertently backed into
his son ,.
The wife, Virginia, told the judge"
however, that the child, Eugene,
was cut when Owens slashed at her
and missed. Eugene, who appeared
in court with his right cheek heavily
bandaged, was released late yester
day from Sibley Hospital after re
ceiving first-aid treatment.

Here is the story of o new
principle of design that has
rocked the industry and given
Hudson unique beauty not pos
sible in any other type of car.
The recessed floor in the new Hudson—
now widely known as the “step-down”
feature—is the talk of the automobile
world. And rightly so! This interesting
development is the key to a new kind of
motor-car beauty—to riding and perform
ance advantages—never before obtainable.
Everyone agrees that Hudson’s new, low,
streamlined silhouette bespeaks road
hugging stability. People everywhere are
attracted by Hudson’s clean, free-flowing
lines and generous width; for here, plainly,
is a new measure of grace and security.
But what’s causing the most talk is the
fact that only Hudson, because of its
exclusive recessed floor that you step
down onto, is able to offer streamlined
low-built beauty without asking you to
give up interior head room.
Let's take a frank look at the motor-car
designer’s problem. Since streamlining an
automobile reduces available head room
for rear-seat passengers, to achieve a low
silhouette and maintain adequate head
room, both floor and seats must be low
ered to compensate for the lowered roof.
The recessed floor is a necessity.
But it is difficult to lower floors and seats,
because in all cars, except Hudson, they
are built on top of a frame. Only Hudson
has a new, all steel Monobilt body-and
frame*, part of which is a rugged base
structure that permits lowering floors
and seats down within the frame. These
sketches illustrate how Hudson’s re
cessed floor provides a low streamlined
silhouette, yet preserves head room.
OTHIR CARS
The car above cannot be streamlined becassse the need
for bead room above the reM seat (which is built on
top of a frame) makes it impossible to lower the roof.
OTHER CARS
Of course, it is possible to adopt free-flowing lines
without recessing the floor, as sketched in the car above,
but over-all height must be raised, and this destroys the
possibility of a low silhouette, which is the mark of
the modern motor car.
NEW HUDSON
Here it the long, low, gracefully streamlined Hssdson
ouly five feet from ground to top. You can set bow the
streamlined roof comes down sharply over the rear-seat
portion of the car, at compared to the other types of
roof lines shown in sketches above. But Hudson floors
are recessed down within the frame, stats art lowered,
to you get more than ample head room.

• • •
The “step-down” principle requires years
of engineering work, the development of
new production techniques and equip
ment, and millions of dollars of highly
specialized new plant investment. Perhaps
this explains why Hudson alone offers
this vital new design principle today.
You'll probably expect the motor cair
that is the talk of the nation to offer you
even more than beauty and comfort. And
it does! Your nearby Hudson dealer will
show you The Importance of “Stepping
Down”—its results not only in beauty and
comfort, but also in riding and driving
ease, performance and safety. Hudson
