White Child Cries
Back To A r m s
OF Foster Mother

NEW YORK-(ANP)- Five-year-
old Lucy Peluso, daughter of an
Italian couple, cried herself back
into the arms of her foster mother,
Mrs. Serena Alves of Harlem on
Wednesday exactly one day after
a court had ordered her put in an
institution.
This case of a white child and a
Negro mother" has created atten-
ton ever since it was first brought
into court on September 30. Lucy
has lived with Mrs. Alves most OF
her life, although her own par
ents are living. The Peluso's an
impoverished couple, want Mrs.
Alves to raise their daughter and
visit her often. They and the fos-
ter mother are old friends.
The trouble was a ruling which
states that persons boarding chill
dren must have a permit from the
board of health. This Mrs. Alves
did not have. At the first hearing,
held before Magistrate Louis B.
Brodsky she declared she had APP
piled several times for such per-
mits but they had always been re-
fused.
The court ordered medical in
spectors to look over the Alves a
partment and report back to him.
Tuesday their report was ready.
II stated that three rooms of the
four rooms in the small apartment
we're dark and unsanitary' and the
kitchen was infested with vermin.
1t was signed by DR.. j. l.. Blu

Child Hygiene.
Magistrate Brodsky, who was
sympathetic to the woman and
child, read the report In court
while little Lucy sa on the knee Of
her SO year old mother" and along
side her real mother, Mrs. Connie
ePluso. After the court read how
investigators declared they went
to Mrs. Alves' home at four o.
clock in the afternoon and found
the girl in pajamas' the woman
saying she never let her go out a

on a table, and showed the court
she was we'll dressed and in good
health.

Louis Armstrong
To Be Featured
At Grayst on e
To S p e a k

Louis Armstrong, the Famous
orchestra leader and trumpeter, is
always a CHIEF topic of current
conversation wherever "hot mus
ic" is discussed. The dance-loy-
ers of Detroit are eagerly looking
forward to his appearance at the
Graystone Ballroom, Monday night,
November 30.
Mr.. Armstrong recently returned
to the United States from a two
year European tour, after which
he transformed around the coun-
try until late October. He opened
on Broadway and played there
nightly throughout the fall, and
was heard over the CHS and WAB
G airwaves from a night club.
This gifted musician is pro-
duct of New Orleans. La.
He received his education and
musical training in an orphanage
in that city. His introduction to
music was practically accidental.
Hey HStutu a DuSiSI ia hhS iho'i
tuition, and somehow or other,
Louis took a fancy to the horn.
He took try at blowing the regu-
latton army calls, found he was
quite successful' and so was given
the post as bugler.
He later learned to play the
trumpet, and although he never
took a lesson on horn, to-day he
is generally regarded and referred
to as 1.-THE King of the Trumpet. y
Armstrong was a hit immediate
ly after leaving home, and has
been on top ever since. He can
hit more unusually high notes con-
sistently than any other musician.
His fine singing is another attrac-
ton, and his orchestra is one of
the best in the country.

considering the fear that new sheet

Investigation of conditions at the WPA sewing project on North Elm street directly from Washing ton, with State WPA headquarters being almost completely ignored, in the detailed probe which is plan- ned, has been almost definitely as- sured, according to information made available in Waterbury last night and confirmed from Wash- ington today.
