Talks
Halted as SaracoqIu
Plans 10 Leave
Minister Has Been in
Moscow q Month; Allies
Blockade Discounted
By the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Oct. 1.-THE pro-
tracted negotiations between Soviet
Russia and Turkey came to at least
a temporary halt today with the an
nounced intention Of Turkeys For
eign Minister Sukru Saracoglu to
leave Moscow tonight.
Saracoglu has been in Moscow
nearly a month discussing with So
Wet leaders problems in connection
with, the Black Sea and its outlet,
the Dardanelles.
Turkish officials said Saracoglu
would hold no further talks either
with Stain or Premier Foreign
Commissar Vyacheslaff Molotof be-
fore his departure.
Coincident with the announce
ment Of Saracoglu's leaving was the
appearance of an article in the gov
eminent newspaper Izvestia which
asserted Britain and France could
not establish an effective sea block
ade against Germany because of
the economic aid the Reich would
receive from Russia and Italy.
The article, signed by I. Vanoff,
Soviet scientist, reflected support of
Adolf Hitler's peace campaign"
and limited that Russia was pre-
pared to give Germany economic
assistance on large scale.
There was no indication Of what
the next move would be in Russia s
negotiations with Turkey. Sara
coglu was expected to confer short
ly with Rumanian leaders.
1t was considered significant that
in concluding recent pacts with
Baltic states, the Russians always
announced them before the de-
parture of visiting ENJOYS.
Vanoff's article in Izvestia said
that Italy, as a neutral, could i'm
port commodities Germany needs
and then export them to the Reich
1t also recalled that Russia is
pledged to supply Germany with
raw materials under recent agree
ments.
Britain and France, Vanoff argued,
could make the blockade more effec-
tive only by infringing upon the
trade rights of neutral states, which
inevitably would lead to new inter-
national complications"

THE HAGUE, Oct. 1.-THE gov
ernment announced that Neither
lands planes were fired on today by
German anti-aircraft guns near the
German port of Emden shortly after
reports came from the frontier areas
of an attempted British air raid on
Emden.
The government announced it was

The announcement, which said
the planes were not hit, followed
reports from villages in Northeastern
Netherlands that heavy firing had
been heard around Emden, which
is 3 miles across Dollart Bay from
Hollands province of Groningen.
Villagers along the bay said they
saw plane that appeared to be
British flying toward Emden.
Informed sources said the Neither

they flew in the vicinity of Emden
at 11:15 am. (5:15 am, E. S. T) .
Artillery fire from the direction of

Roosevelt Proposes
Expansive Effort 10
Relocate Refugees
America, Africo and
Australasia Suggested
As Possible Sites
By BLAIR BOLLES.

President Roosevelt proposed to-
day that the Inter- Governmental
Committee on Political Refugees
launch at once "a fairly expansive
effort to survey and study, definitely
and scientifically, the geographic
and economic problem of settling
several million people in new areas
Of the earth's surface" He sug-
gested America, Africa and Austral-
asia as possible sites.
Mr.. Roosevelt told leading mem
bers of the World Committee at a
White House luncheon that when
the European war ends, those of
us who are realists know that in
its wake the world will face q ref
ugee problem of different character
and Of infinitely greater magnitude,
than the problem which exists to-
day.
The President urged that the cur
rent work Of the committee in re-
settling political refugees-its job
since the committees establishment
in March, l938-continues unabated.
But he referred to that phase of the
job as "the short-range program"
aimed simply at caring for about
100000 or 100000 refugees "in dire
need" In connection with that
aspect Of the committees work, he
said:
II am glad to be able to announce
today that active steps have been
taken to begin actual settlement,
made possible by the generous at
titude of the Dominican government
and the government of the Philip
pine Commonwealth. This is,
hope, the forerunner Of many other
similar projects in many other ma
tions.
Group to Aid Committee.
Furthermore, I am glad to note
the establishment of a distinguished
Anglo-American group Of the Co.
ordinating Foundation which, with
the help of your committee, will in
vestigate the suitability of other
places of settlement for immigrants.
Things were going well, although
I must confess slowly, up to the out
break Of the war in Europe. Today
we must recognize that the regular
and planned course of refugee work
has been of necessity seriously in
terrupted."

sador Espil of Argentina, Ambassador

Ticket Drive
To Include PUBLISHING
OF Names Involved
PIon Originated by SeoI
Tokes Effect at Once
To Remove Abuses

In a drastic move to end the
abuse OF the so-called adjustment
Of parking tickets and other minor
trafic offenses, the Commissioners
today ordered into effect a plan de-
veloped by Corporation Counsel FL
wood H. Seal for publication of the
names of persons involved in ticket
fixing.
The new plan is to take effect at
once. Maj. E. w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police, is directed to COM
pile list of those involved in ticket
fixing and to make this a matter of
public record-which means that
the names will be available to news
papers for publication.
Mr.. Seal had suggested, the Com
missioners agreed, that publication
of the names would do more than
anything he could think of to put
an end to the abuse of traffic ticket
adjustments without establishing an
absolute. ban which would not leave
the door open for the adjustment of
the cases-believed to be relatively
very small-in which there are miti-
eating circumstances.
The plan calls for the listing of
the names of those whose tickets are
fixed, the names of those who
sponsor the cancellation or adjust
ment of the ticket, as well as the
reason stated for the adjustment.
The corporation counsel found
recently that some 5000 tickets had
been fixed between January and
the middle Of last month. About
1000 of these, he said. were adjusted
by his assistants at Traffic Court.
He was so aroused over the alleged
abuse of the past practice that he
forbade his assistants to fix any
tickets and Maj. Brown called at
tention to the fact that there are
definite restrictions on fixing and
procedure to be followed in q
standing order that he had issued
to the Police Department.
The Commissioners directed that
a formal order detailing the new
plan be drawn by their secretary
G. M. Thornett, and sent to both
Mr.. Seal and Maj. Brown.

HOUSING AUTHORITY TAKES
SITES FOR SLUM CLEARANCE

Hundreds of colored families are
among the nearly 5000 residents or
dered out of the three sites, which by
eminent domain were taken over this
week by the United States Govern
ment for housing projects.
In thirty days from May 20 the
owners and renters were notified by
letters that they must vacate the
premises. Although it was known
last fall that the housing projects
were preparing to start, most persons
were taken with surprise by the gov
ernment's sudden order.
The three areas seized are in South
Boston, Charlestown and in the LenoX
Street section of Boston. 1t is in this
last area, part of Ward 9, that col
ored people have been established for
many years, ever since the migration
of colored residents from the West
End. Most of the colored churches
business operated by colored proprie-
tors, lodges and clubs are located in
Ward 8. Estelle's and SHADES, the
largest restaurants owned by colored
proprietors anywhere, are located on
fremont Street, not far from the
Lenox Street area.
CONSERVATION reigned among Col
ored tenants especially, because faced
with more difficulty in getting other
suitable apartments else where, al
though the local housing authority is
using its efforts to help all in relocat-
ing themselves and their families. By

was willing to accept a reasonable
compromise if a test of its penalties
had come before the House. A major
lty OF the committee would not take a
chance Of having it's report over
ridden"
Well known Colored and liberal
Leaders, however, refused to take the
invisible Lobby's" power as an in
e9Vltable end to the fight to break
down discrimination in the common
wealth. They prepared this week to
launch bigger, more concentrated
effort that will begin with written and
telegraphed protests to Speaker of
the House Herter and representatives
OF various sections, decrying the
House action and demanding a re-
consideration. Group pressure is tc
be put onto the utilities themselves
demanding fair employment oppor-
tunities for every colored dollar spent
An excellent QUESTIONABLE on this lat
ter point is already being circulated
among utilities and manufacturers by
Monroe M. Mason, well known civic
worker and political figure.
The NAACP, which introduced the
measure, stated this week that it will
announce its new plans during the
next few days.

SOLONS KILL BILL 638

A fight of many months came to a
new turn this week when unwaranted
and vicious legislative sidestepping by
the joint labor and industries commit
tee resulted in an unfavorable report
on House Bill 638, the bill that had
been introduced in an effort to end
the discriminatory practices of utili-
ties and large industries in Massachu-
sets.
Warning that the measure would be
knitted in the back had been issued
some time previously by Rep. Maurice
Kritzman of Dorchester and other
liberal solons, but it had not been felt
that such fragrant indifference of
the rights of colored people to work
would be attempted by the legislators.
The bill was first subjected to a
hiding" process that kept it in the
bottom of the legislative hopper for
months. When finally reported on by
the joint committee on May Is, the
reason for reporting unfavorably was
given as unnecessary legislation" 1t
was formally rejected three days later.
The vote on the measure was secret.
and apparently dominated by a power
full invisible lobby of utilities and
manufacturing interests. Senator
Cole and Representative Kritzman
and Bachus were the only members of
the committee who stood solidly be-
hind the measure.
Following the unprecedentedly cal
lous action of the committee, Rep.

than others reported that they had
already found new quarters; while
others were still >nxious in view of
the scarcity of low-price tenements.
The average rental for the areas taken
over is said to be about SIS with some
tenants paying So month, and ap-
parently unable to pay more.
The Lenox Street site, or better to
say, Roxbury site, lies between Lenox
Street, Shawmut Avenue and Kendall
Street and extends to within 125 feet
of fremont Street and contains some
of the city's worst habitations. More
than third of the houses are without
baths and nearly ten per cent are
without toilets. Practically all of
them are badly in need of repairs;
some are mere shells with windows
and doors gone; others had been razed
by owners rather than shoulder the
expense of keeping up repairs.

The Foe Within

In our battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for a mess of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done so. Many of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their pernicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
