I have just read where some
association of tailOrS has decreed
what the really well dressed man
should have In his wardrobe. II
their minimum requirements are
on the level, even the Duke OF
Windsor is a Semi-tramp.
After all, a man can wear
only one suit at a time. If / had
a dozen suits, like these tailOrs
recommended, the other IL
would be for the moths. Also, L
have figured it out that If the
average American bought IL diff
ferent suits, he would have to
walk up 144 flights of stairs. just
to pay the installments. That
would give every well dressed
man paIpitation of the heart.
Can you imagine a man COM
ing home some night and saying
to the wife, "Well, dear, in order
to be well dressed, l have ordered
IL more suits" She would I'M
mediately demand 80 square rods
of sealskin coat, a barrel Of silk
stockings and a 15-fOOt rack OF
new evening gowns before hubby
could even sit down to supper.
Even as things are now, women

Emancipation
Proclamation
Is on Display
Celebrated Document
Is Is Years Old
Today.
By the Associated Press.

The archivist of the United States
busted off the emancipation proclama-
ton today on its seventy-fifth birth
day anniversary and placed it on
display.
The proclamation, issued on Sep
tember %, 1862, by President Lincoln
and numbered among the most cele-
brated of American state papers, lay
buried in the musty files of the State
Department until removed to the vaults
OF the Archives Building few months
ago.
Lincoln's own account of the events
which prompted him to issue the
proclamation was recorded by Frank
B. Carpenter, an artist, who made a
life sized painting of the President
reading the document to his cabinet.
1t had got to be Midsummer OF
1852" Lincoln told him. Things Gin
the Civil War; had gone on from bad
to worse until 1 felt that we had
reached the end of our rope.
I determined upon the adoption OF
the emancipation policy, and without
consultation with, or the knowledge of
the cabinet, I prepared the original
draft"
On the advice of Secretary of State
Seward, Lincoln told Carpenter, he put
the original draft aside until the
Union had won a decisive victory"
Finally came the Battle of An
tietam," Carpenter quoted Lincoln.
THE advantage was on our side.

Fort, according to the New York

Blacks connection with the Klan.
Fort said today he would leave 1t

fore the latter takes his seat on the

The President is solely responsible
for the appointment and cannot evade
the issue by remaining silent or run

as saying in Associated Press dis
patches.
Fish asserted that Charles Michel

cratic National Committee, has known
for years that Black was a Klansman
He said he was beginning to think
there was conspiracy OF silence" in
order to rush the Black appointment.

WORCESTER, Mass. September
Ex-senator David I. Walsh, Demo-
crat, of Massachusetts, today declared
Justice Hugo L. Black of Alabama. bv
not disclosing his previous member
ship in the Ku Klux Klan," had OBJ
tanned his elevation to the Supreme
Court "by deception"
BY his silence. Walsh contended,
Black had grossly imposed on Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his colleagues,
even before his confirmation.
Walsh said any impeachment pro-
ceedings would have to originate in
the House, and expressed the opinion
the most feasible way in which Black
could be eliminated would be for the
President to obtain his resignation.
From interviews and correspond
ence I have had with several Demo-
cratic members of the Senate" Walsh
said in an interview, Il find that prac-
tically all of them express the view
that Senator Black, by permitting the
President to nominate him for the
United States Supreme Court. and for
the Senate to confirm him without
disclosing to the President. or his COL
leagues in the Senate, his previous
membership in the Ku Klux Khan,
and by his silence inferentially deny
ing the rumors of his Klan member
ship, imposed grossly on the President
and the Senate and amounted to OBJ
tanning his elevation to the United
States Supreme Court by deception.
This group of Senators is of the
opinion that this alone is sufficient to
disqualify Senator Black"
Walsh said, in his opinion, the most
feasible way Black could be eliminated
would be for the President to de-
mand and obtain Blacks resignation"
There is still one other possibility"
the Senator added. namely, that the
Supreme Court will rule on the ques-
tion of Blacks eligibility"
Walsh declared: 1T now seems that
the real issue in the Black case is not
whether he is member of the Klan
or whether he repudiates the Klan
openly.
There are two counts against him.
one, that Black for political advan-
tages Joined the Klan and took the
oath of Klansman and subscribed to
Its creeds; two, that Black obtained
his nomination and confirmation by

concealment and thereby deceived the
President and his fellow Senators, es-
pecially the latter, because he had
knowledge it was rumored he WAS a
member of the Klan and supporters in
the Senate denied it."
Walsh said that probably, after the
Senate convened next January, unless
Black made some statement, "the
Senators who claim to be misled will
record themselves, through some form
of resolution, as opposed to Mr.. Justice
Blacks membership on the Supreme
Court bench, thereby publicly asserting
they were misled and deceived"

Housing Project Aim
Explained BY Freed
Community to Open
In Arlington County
Around July |

Government and private bust
ness must work together II the
economic problems of the nation
are to be solved.
That is the belief Of Allie s.
Freed, New York financier and
chairman Of the Committee for
Economic and Social Progress.
It was to discuss this problem
that a group Of business leaders
met in New York in 1884. Several
meetings followed. Government
leaders joined in the discussion,
and as q result the committee was
organized.
Heavy industry Of the nation
was held as the key to the Solu'
ton. The members agreed that
the country could not get back on
its feet with millions Of persons
unemployed.
And, it was admitted, there
would be unemployment until
heavy industry could get started
and take men back to work.
Housing First Need
Housing, 1t was agreed, was one
heavy industry that could be
started moving quickly. And
there was a crying need for houS-
ing in the country.
Members of the committee went
to England and made an intensive
study of the English housing plan,
which is the backbone of that ma.
tons economic and social recov.
cry plan.
AS a result Of these studies,
Washington is soon to see the first
concrete example Of what the com.
mittee is striving to do through
out the country when Bucking.
ham Community is opened in Ar.
lington county about July /.
In Washington today, Mr.. Freed
explained just what Buckingham
is and what it hopes to accom-
pliSh.
First, it is not a "low-cost hous-
ing" project, but community de-
signed to offer a maximum Of liv.
ing for those in the lower salaries
brackets Of the nation.
The community viii offer a
better social life for the residents.
It Is planned to inaugurate a
medical center in the community,
dedicated to Mrs. Roosevelt, for
the common good.
Children and dogs will be vel
ccmed in families rather than

banned as landlords have done
in the past.
A housing shortage, Mr.. Freed
believes, Is unnecessary and dis.
graceful" to the nation. and he
insists that it is not necessary
for a person to pay SO much out
Of their budget for rent.
Buckingham, he said, will
prove concluSively that good
housing can be furnished on a
community plan for people with
incomes ranging from $500 to
$1,000 q year, and done by pr.
vate enterprise. He said:
''When the Government, In
dustry, labor and finance CO
operate properly, then we get
real social gain. This is what
we have done in designing
Buckingham. We have sought
to take inefficiency and rackets
out of BODYBUILDING and financ-
ing, so that the residents Of
the community may be ben.
Gifted and get the most out OF
life,"
