TOBIAS ALARMED AT
CRIME WAVE
New York Channing H. To
bias, director of the Phelps-Stokes
Fund expressed his alarm at the
increasing crime in Harlem in an
address the other night before the
Cooper-Union Forum in the Great
Hall at Eighth St. and Astor
Place, New York City.
Mr. Tobias pointed out the fact
that dens of iniquity in Harlem
apparently work in connivance
with the police while the better
citizens seem unable to do any
thing about the same. Petty thiev
ery is likewise on the increase and
the lack of adult supervision in
the home from three in the after
noon until after six in the evening
is responsible for considerable
gang development among young
sters. Turning to the housing situa
tion Mr. Tobias indicated that
real estate owners and managers
operating in the area were making
income their sole concern and very
often blocking all attempts at new
housing developments.
Another glaring accusation was
the fact that many chain store de
velopments were moving out of
the area because petty thievery was
a constant source of loss.
Mr. Tobias called upon the
city .state and private individuals
to combine and rid the commun
ity of many of these evils that peo
ple might have a better opportun
ity to develop honest decent lives.
He emphasized the fact that this
is a responsibility that must also
be faced much more diligently by
the -people who live in the area
and are desirous of a better way of
life.

GEORGIA JUSTICE
ON TRIAL
Herman Powell accidentally
killed a white pedestrian with
an automobile in Wrightsville,
Georgia, about three years ago.
A Georgia court sentenced him
to life in prison. Before sen
tence Powell had the harrowing
experience of just avoiding be
ing lynched. He later broke
out of jail and fled north.
He was apprehended in New
J ersey and held for the Georgia
police authorities. But while
he was imprisoned in New Jer
sey the honesty of his story so
impressed Judge Hartshorn,
Representative Hartley and At
torney Thomas Potter that they
did everything in their power
to defeat extradition, but with
out success.
' Finally-Judge Hartshorn, who
is personally acquainted with
Gov. Arnell of Georgia, wrote
to him personally in behalf of
Powell, who was returned. Gov.
Irnell replied, "Georgia assured
that Herman Powell's person
and rights will be fully protect
ed.' But in the meantime Gov. Ar
nell 's time as Governor of the
state is running out fast and
Georgia is rapidly approaching
the inauguration of the "Lily
white Talmadge."

HARRY T. BURLEIGH
RESIGNS
After serving as baritone soloist
at St. George Episcopal church in
New York City for the past fifty
two years Harry Burleigh has re
signed. With his passing goes one
of the personality landmarks in
the choir at St. George. His an
nual singing of Faure's The Palms
on Palm Sunday had become a
classic institution.
In 1944 Mr. Burleigh was hon
ored by St. George on the comple
tion of fifty years of service.
During the course of these
years Mr. Burleigh's fame has
spread all over the world wher
ever spirituals have been sung for
he has not only written them but
arranged many.
For twenty-five years he was
also a member of the choir at
Temple Emanu-EI at Fifth Ave
nue and Sixty-fifth St.
But perhaps the most outstand
ing contact that Mr. Burleigh had
during his musical career was his
close association with Antonin
Dvorak, the Bohemian composer,
when he came to America to teach
composition. It was Burleigh's in
fluence that later made Dvorak
include "Swing Low, Sweet Char
iot" as the leading theme in the
first movement of his "New
World" symphony.
Mr. Burleigh as he retires from
his musical career is eighty years
old. '
