Chicago Interview

Chicago, May. - (Harold Preece
for CNA) Throughout it's history,
the Republican Party has posed as
the champion of the Negro people.
But there is a difference in word
and deed when the Republican
Party today takes power, as two
Minneapolis leaders told your cor
respondent this week.
Visitors in Chicago, the two are
John Thomas, youth commissioner
of the Minnesota Negro Council,
formerly claims deputy in the
Minnesota Unemployment Com
pensation Department; and Brutus
Cassius, president of Minneapolis
Local Ga of the ALL Hotel, Res
taurant Workers, and Bartenders
International League of America.
There was no distinction made
in the giving of state jobs under
the administration of Farmer-La-
Dor Governor Elmer A. Benson"
Thomas said. "But the Republican
administration of Governor Harold
Stassen in spite of its promises to
give jobs to Negroes, fired prac-
tically every member Of my race
holding office jobs in the state
capitol.
Zone Negro has been hired under
the new regime-a janitor in the
department"
"The cruel cuts in Minnesota re-
lief" Thomas said, shave decreased
the already low living standards of
Minnesota's $4,000 Negroes to be-
low health level. We feel that
through the New Deal and its agen-
cies such as WPA, NYA, and the
CCC, a real effort has been made to
bring the living standards of
Americas 14,OO0,00O Negroes to the
same levels as those of the rest of
the population"

cause he didn't want white south

The N.A.A.C.P. letter to Stand

lions of Negro housewives and

produced by the American Can Com
pany in cooperation with the canned
salmon industry.
Now being shown 10 school classes
and to club groups. I75 prints Of
the picture are currently being ex-
hibited IN the United States. The
sponsors of the picture estimate
that each month of the school year,
500 people view each print. This
means that approximately 10000
people see the picture each month.
Isabel y Young, home economics
director for American Can Company,
recently stated that the film has
been SO popular with schools and
clubs that as early as last Noyem-
Der, all prints of the picture were
booked up for all available showing
dates until June.
"Alaska.s Silver Millions was
first released for distribution in
September of 1886. The commentat-
ing in the picture is done by Father
Bernard Hubbard, S. j., widely
known as the Glacier Priest The

Southeastern and Central Alaska,
and the agricultural opportunities
are emphasized.
The second half of the picture
shows the annual salmon run. and
the fishing and canning activities
of Alaska's salmon industry. Ex-|
citing fishing scenes are shown and
explained by the commentator. The
care taken in canning the salmon isl
illustrated. The unique life cycle of

The peW screen consists of two
rows of metal louvreS. with a strip
Iof copper screening between them.
The air comes in between two of
the louvres on the outside, hits
against one of the inner louvres, de-
fleets back to another surface, and
finally enters the room, having
changed its course twice and passed
through the screening three times
before it enters. This means that no
dust, SCOT, snow or rain could pos
sibiy penetrate, and that the force
of the air is somewhat spent before
it comes into the room, eliminating
drafts.
The screens are installed in the
top and bottom of double-hung win
dows, to encourage circulation. The
upper one is installed on the out
side window frame and has a rub

against the upper sash to prevent any

Downtown Streets
Often Stop, Not Garry
Traffic, Says Expert
Women Particularly
Avoid Jams in City's
Centers, He Asserts

"We are from habit routing our
streetcsrs and all our other traffic
straight through our downtown
districts, unnecessarily adding to
traffic JAM" Thurston H. Ross, di-
rector Of the Bureau of Business Re-
search of the University of Southern
California, pointed out addressing
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards at its recent annual
convention at Los Angeles.
an Los Angeles, for example" :"
he said, 1.-The industrial district is
very largely in the eastern and
southeastern part of the city. The
workers in the industries live, for
the most part, in the south and
west To 60 to their work they must
go through the downtown section,
at a loss of time and adding un-
necessarily to traffic congestion.
Through traffic lanes might quite as
we'll be run three or four blocks away
from the principal business area.
In our effort for safety we have
developed so many stop signals.
boulevard signals, ana the like, that
women in particular dislike to drive
in the downtown area. If we were
to take the streets we have, and
Use them for carrying traffic instead
of for stopping traffic, we could do
much to lessen our difficulties. and
TO conserve the tremendous values
in real estate represented in our
downtown business properties"
The traffic problem can be
solved, but it must be solved on an
economic and engineering rather
than on a political basis" Mr.. Ross
said. Other action which he said
may we'll be taken to conserve pres
ent values in central business dis
tricts:
|. Organize for simultaneous re-
habilitation of property in central
business areas.
3 Institute research concerning
factors affecting downtown business
property, to determine the true ma
ture of the problem of conserving
our business district values.
3.Encourage increased municipal,
State and Federal improvements in
fringe areas to attract interest in
central business districts and to
eliminate unsightly or obsolete areas
in so far as possible.
4. Cooperate to secure equitable
political treatment in taxation.
He advised central business prop
erty owners to improve their own
land, not leaving it to the lessee
alone to create value within the
central business district, and to par
ticipate in the economic function
ing of their property by writing per-
centage leases above substantial
minimum. He pointed out that
in reorienting a business district for
new usefulness, work must be done
to combine small parcels of prop
erty to make a usable whole. And
he urged individual and community
effort to discourage transactions
that would be economically unde-
sirable for the district.
