Prof. Morris who recently appointed ap Educational Adviser by Washington, D. jC. for duty in. the Department of the Intcrrior at the various CCC camps has been assigned by the War Department to the New Jersey-New York area. He stgtes that the celebration will take the orm of a banquet, concert,, reception, pubic -meeting Or similar (TatfTFring and will bo lYon-partisan in charac ters. Last year such celeb rat oris were largely observed by the ^ white people of the., country " with Negroes taking but - little part. However in view of the tremendous recognition which colored people have =, received under the | .New Deal, and appointments to virtually every agency (at Washington, it is proposed that mewbers of the race Itfake a prominent part "in the exercises this^ year. In 1934 the ?i/nds derived ^from the 'various cele.brations were contributed to the health foundation at Warm Springs, (Ta while \his Reason such funds will be Riven to the men in the CCO camps for the purpose'of purchasing: magazines, books and newspapers.

Prof. Morris points out that no national administration during reeeht years'has given to Negroes, the consideration which has been accorded by the present Chief Executive. Many outstanding colored leaders will, address gatherings in celebration of the President's birthday throughout the country.
