st. LOuisans Move
To Restricted Area

st. Louis, Nov. 26 (ANP)-FoL
lowing the disclosure several mon
tbs ago that a section of Page
Boulevard, in the 4200 block and
1900 block, thought to have re-
strictive covenants against Ne
groes but in reality had none--
fourteen coIored families have NOV
ed into the exclusive district and
purchased homes. 1t was learned
the covenants were supposed to
have been filed Is years ago but
were never put on record.
James T. Bush, colored, real es-
tate operator is said to have sold
sever two flat buildings to mem
bers of the race and has a sale for
another soon as the whites move.
The first man to Invade" the
area was Samuel M. Townsend,
~chauffer, who bought Page boul-
evard flat and soon received a
warning note, telling him to move
out. With the sale of more houses,
however, Townsend has had no
further trouble. ,Realtor Bush was
reported as saying hat property
values have risen considerably as
Negroes began buying homes in
the district, but just why they
should be compelled to pay "inflat-
ed" prices for their homes was not
explained.
It was said that the white own
ers, fifteen years ago, had been
misied by a notary public who had
prepared the deeds of restriction"
He is said to have taken the pro
perty owners money to pay filing
costs, then fled the city with both
money and deeds.

Ignorance Is Bliss-SOmetimes

When a housewife Of any one of a number Of stases goes
into a grocery store to buy groceries for her family she is
obliged to pay a direct state sales tax on virtually everything
she purchases. The tax ranges generally from a penny upward
depending ON the size of the purchase. AS a result Of this
form Of tax, the people of those states are, to some extent
at least, tax conscious,
Saturday afternoons when Mrs. Consumer is stocking up
ON groceries for the week ahead, one may often notice her
laughing with a weary clerk over a paltry penny in the sales
tax. She is paying a direct tax, knows it, and resents it be-
cause it forces her to pay a premium, ON the necessities of life.
But ironically, she is serenely obivious to the fact the sales
tax represents enly a small fracti, IN " he tax which she pays

So far as industrial production
is concerned, there has been a Sub
stantial drop-but the drop was
nowhere near as severe as the
drop in stocks. In two months
shares as a whole went down 38

activity dropped a little over 9

MOOQay.
AS it is now, the lads and 1assies
will have to work indoors with
drugstore snow, unless the weather
man becomes more friendly and
indulgent than he has been the
last few weeks. The green winter
of the East, whether 1t makes a ta1
churchyard or not, is causing dis
tress to lot of fat bankrolls.
The ski mania got such a fast
running start, with such a clamor
for skis, poles, and clothing, THAT
the manufacturers began extend
ing themselves as they saw ahead
a long, easy glide into meadows
Of fat dividends.
But not even one Of these red.
checked ga-ga youngsters can ski
on mud, and a rip-roaring big
snowstorm blanketing the East
would be just about the happiest
possible event in the lives of the
ski magnateS. Pretty soon it's go
ing to be either skiing or skidding.
All in all, this laggard winter
has made a Homeric bust tenn.
porarily of one of the happiest
new excitements which America
has witnessed for years.
WHERE TO GO?
Skiing on made-to-order snow

ing from New York city, have met
disappointment. The Ice~Queen is
playing a shabby trick on the
thousands of handsome young
Siegfrieds and BrunhildeS, all
dressed up in their gay stocking
caps and ski pants and no place
to go.
There's another complication,
not so serious as the lack of snow,
but still a bit trying away up in
New England, where they already
have bit of snow. Hotel keepers,
who saw a chance for a big killing
in winter sports, are complaining
that the oStentatiously red-blooded
city boys and girls are costing
them more money than they take
in, and for a curious reason.
It seems that these city boys
and girls who go skiing are Of 9

them get so husky they could sleep
in a snow bank, and when they
come in at night they throw open
every window in their rooms.
The result has been a black New
England wilderness of frozen

for the plumbers from Kenne-
bunkport up to Montreal.
Furthermore, say the inn keep
ers, these youngsters frolic around
the hotel with hob-nailed boots,
and that doesn't do the old maple
parquet floors any good.

up near Woodstock, VT, find he
spent quite a lot of money remod-
cling a fine old colonial place and
thought he would get rich from
ski parties. He says about all he
has to show for it is busted steam
pipes and macerated floors.
This writer has been unable to
find a. clear explanation of the
sudden blaze of skiing enthusiasm.
Much of it has been induced, no
doubt, by the efficient work of
the United States Eastern Anna
teur Ski Association, which has
been tanning up interest in the
sport in the Eastern territory. Five
years ago, the association had five
clubs 1t now has more than 10.
The railroads haven't been
asleep, either. Let a wiSp OF
snow fall anywhere and they're
rushing a train in that direction.
Frow New York, there are special
trains to Bear Mountain, the Po.
como Hills and the Berkshires.
Extra cars for skiing patries are
being run on trains which pene.
trate New England and Canada.
Many of the trains carry ski in
structors who give lesson as the
train rolls along.
Colleges have gone quite hay
wire on skiing. In most Of the
Northern-zone-collegeS clear across
the country, skiing is getting set
in intercollegiate or intramural
sports programs as firmly as any
of the old established pastimeS.
They have instructors with vary
ing traditional techniques, and
physical educational departments
are busy fitting the sport into
their curricula.
Dartmouth, with its famous
winter carnival, has long been out
in front of skiing, along with New
Hampshire and McGill University,
in Canada.

An official asserted:

LAW TO SHIELD
TIPS ON NEWS
DEFENDED

American newspapers are per
forming a splendid public serv
ice and reporters should be pro
tested against court-enforced reve.
lation Of their news sources, Rep
resentativce Edward Curley CD
of New York declared in the
House yesterday.
Rising in defense Of his bill
which would grant newspaper re
porters the same privileges law
yers and physicians have, Curley
declared editors frequently are
jailed "for their cooperation with
society"
Reporter jailed
Prompted by the Imprisonment
last year of Martin Mooney, New
York journal reporter, who wrote
a series of articles on gambling
conditions and later served 9
prison sentence rather than d1
vulge his "tips," Curley introduced
his measure for the protection OF
newspapermep. The bill was re
introduced this year and is now
before the House Judiciary Com
mittee.
Pleading for quick action on
the measure, Curley declared:
"This Is not q new question by
any means. As . matter Of fact
In the States Of New Jersey,
Maryland, Kentucky and Ala
bama there are similar laws now
in operation. One more State,
Arkansas, was added recently
when n referendum was sub
mitted to q popular vote in that
great Commonwealth.
"My bill is designed to extend
existing privileges granted to
lawyers, doctors and clergymen
in the State courts to newspaper
reporters and publishers who ap-
pear in litigation in any court Of
the United States"
HEARST QUOTED
Curley said the viewpoint Of
William Randolph Hearst is con.
tanned in a telegram from the pub
Usher to the congressman which
he quoted as follows:
