charge of unlawful sale of liquor
when Municipal Judge Oscar C. Bell

Judge Bell dismissed the case

there were persons sitting at the

chairman of the NA.A.C.P. board
OF directors, who testified before
the Senate subcommittee which
held hearings on the Wagner health
bill last May.
At that time DR., Wright set forth
the associations proposed amend
ment to the bill which calls for a
federal appropriation of ss0,OOO,O0O
the first year and larger sums
thereafter.
The amendment calls for:
"A just and equitable apportion-
ment or distribution OF the several

the benefit Of the. minority racial
group in a state which maintains
separate health facilities for such
minority and racial groups not less
than the proportionate need that
each minority racial group in sucn
states bears to the needs of the total
population of that state"

operation of the bill in each of its
four sections. which include: grants

not Incompatible racial and social
groups are present, to the end that
an intelligent prediction may be
made regarding the possibility or
probability Of the location being in
vaded by such groups. If a neigh
borhood is TO retain stability it is
necessary that properties shall con-
tinue to be occupied by the same
social and racial classes. A change
in social or racial occupancy gen
orally leads to instability and a
reduction in values
The protection offered against
adverse changes should be found
adequate before a high rating is
given to this feature. Once the
character OF a neighborhood has
been established it is usually i'm
possible to induce a higher social
class than those already in the
neighborhood to purchase and >oc-
cupy properties in the various To-
cations"
In referring to the reasons ad-
vanced by the Hole agents in re-
fusing to sell to Negroes in certain
areas, several realtors denied that
Negroes tend to lower property val
ues. 1t was also remarked that Ne
groes pay Is to 20 per cent more
for property than the other groups
and also pay a proportionately high
er rental than whites.
In reviewing the possibilities OF
legal action against the Hole for
discriminating against Negroes, At
torney Charles Berry cited several
cases. one of which reached the
Supreme court but no clear ruling
on the issue at hand could be found.

Referring to Senator Blbo's re-

POLl'S

With Brian Aherne, Victor Me- Laglen and June Lang playing the top roles, Captain Fury" frontier drama of Australia, will have its To- cale premiere at the Loew-Poli the- ater tomorrow. Captain Fury" is the story of dauntless men and brave women who migrated to the barren brush country of Australia to hew nation out of a strange wilderness.
 Paul Lukas, June Lang, John Carradine, George Zucco, Douglas Dumbrille and Virginia Field, fea- tured in support of the starring trio, portray the strangely assorted char acters who join in this march of progress in the pioneering days of the early 18th century.
 The story narrows down to a fight-to-the-finish between Cap- tain Fury, daring adventurer and political prisoner, who migrates from Ireland, and Arnold Trist, greedy land baron, whose game is to oust incoming settlers, grab their land and build up a vast feudal es- tate to be ruled tyranically. Fury quickly sized up the situation and plans thrilling career as an Aus tralian Robin Hood. Stumbling upon a hideout, Fury sets up a little rob- bers's kingdom and proceeds to out wit his sullen opponent. Also, it might be added, he is never too busy to lend an eye and ear to romance and manages to get the girl, too, the girl in this case being the glamor- ous and beauteous June Lang.
 On the same program is another smash hit featuring the screens funniest trio, the Ritz brothers in "The Gorilla" in which the three brothers have turned detectives. You'll have the time of your life watching these three half-wit Hawkshaws tracking down weird man-killing beast in the screen ver- sion of this famous stage hit.
 The Ritz brothers are ably aided and abetted in this merry mystery by Anita Louise, Patsy Kelly, Bella Lugosi, Joseph Caleia, Edward Morris and Wally Vernon.
 Attractions ending their engage ment tonight at Loew's Poli include Robert Young and Annabella in Bridal Suite" and "It Could Hap- pen to You" with Gloria Stuart and Stuart Irwin.
