LaGUARDIA FOR PRESIDENT.
Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who
combines sense of humor with
sense Of reality, is being urged by
his friends to become a candidate
for President. LaGuardia, however,
always demurs. He says he is too
busy running New York city.
One Of those who has mentioned
the presidency to LaGuardia is none
other than Franklin Roosevelt HIM
self.
''Fiorello," said F. D. r. the last
time the two men were together,
'I'm for you, not only because I'm
for you personally, but because you
know so much about government"
"Isn't that what he tells every
one?" friend asked LaGuardia aft
erward.
Maybe" shot back the Mayor,
"but it sounds good anyway"

$3.50 HUNCH.
If President Roosevelt doesn't run
for third term, his secretary, Gen.
Edwin ("Pa") Watson, is going to
be $3.50 out of pocket.
Just before his boss left on his
fishing cruise, Watson was doing his
best to entertain a group of con-
gressmen and government officials
who, because Of mixup in the ap-
pointment schedule, had been wait
ing overtime to see Roosevelt. The
conversation dragged through the
weather, the war in Europe, and
finally one of the callers shot at
Watson:
General, you're close to the Pres
ident. Tell US, is he going to run
for third term?"
well, it's going to cost me $3.50
il he DOESN'T" beamed the genial
Watson. "Just between US boys,
I've bet a friend that amount that
the President will be nominated and
that he will accept"
You could have heard a pin drop
as the group digested this choice
bit of inside information.
well, General, you sure must
know something" remarked the inn
pressed questioner.
Watson hesitated, then grinned
broadly and drawled, ''Now boys,
don't get me all wrong. I haven't
any inside dope. I'm just operat-
ing on hunch."
FREE EATS.
A very popular custom that has
grown up on Capitol Hill in recent
years is the distribution of free
eats" by members of congress in
the form of products from their
home districts.
These spreads always get a big
hand. The variety is far-fung, rang
ing from southern fruits and western
vegetables to Michigan smelt. De-
lighted congressman and senators
pile in with gusto, carting home
what they can't eat.
This session the free eating was
inaugurated by Rep. j. Hardin Pc
terson with a truck load Of Florida
tangerines. The next day Rep.
George johnson of West Virginia
treated with a big consignment OF
winesap apples.
Next spreads eagerly awaited are
Rep. John KunkePs Pennsylvania

ley's Michigan smelt dinner, and
Sen. John G. Townsend's early
Strawberries from his Delaware
farms.
Each of these occasions il q real
treat. The press is invited and the
boys aren't bashful.

calendar are early Georgia peaches

ployers from saying they would
engage Negroes except for the
fact that there were no accomo-
dations for them.
In recent magazine article,
John M. Carmody, federal works
administrator, wrote:
.As this is written, congress
has enacted legislation and pro-
vided the funds for a special
housing program to meet urgent
needs arising from the great pre-
paredness drive now in full swing.
This is being written before the
ink from the Presidents pen is
scarcely dry on the acts creating
these undertakings. Quite ma
turally some details remain to be
worked out.
Charles f. Palmer, defense
housing coordinator, hes not only
checked the need for new con-
struction, but has cleared with
FILA with respect to the degree
to which private banking or real
estate interest can supply these
needs and thereby relieve the fed
eral government of at least part
of the job Of providing homes
for defense workers and their
families"
Discussing the program for
construction Of the defense hous-
ing as far as the army is con-
cerned, Mr.. Carmody said the
program is scheduled for COM
pletion by May Of next year.
Part of the requirements to be
met will include the answering OF
questionnaire by the contractors
seeking work. Included in the
factors are the contractors pres
ent load, other government con-
tracts currently held, organiza-
ton, financial assets, experience
in the field Of low cost housing.
Plans are being studied for the
possible mass purchase of fixtures
and standard facilities, such as
bathtubs, toilet bowls, kitchen
cabinets, ranges, refrigerators
and heating units. If possible,
these facilities will be sought IN
a single standard size for all OF
the contemplated projects.
Not only will workers in de-
fense plants be housed in these
new projects, but in this military
plan for the army, enlisted per-
sonnel, non-commissioned officers
and so forth will be housed in
the army buildings. Rentals for
the houses thus occupied will be
fixed by housing departments.
Rentals for civilian defense work
ers will be fixed after taking in
to consideration all factors, quail
ity Of housing supplied, existing
rent levels in the community, the
family earning capacity and 80
on.

NEGRO'S SHORTCOMINGS
FORUM SPEAKER LISTS

CHICAGO tANP) Last sun
day afternoon, addressing an
overflow meeting of a local
Forum, Atty. William Henry
Huff, well known poet and col
umnist, took to task so-called Ne
gro leaders who persist in rec
ommending colored patronage Of
white business and professional
places.
As result, he said: Even the
pig ankle joints and restaurants
of the Nations colored districts
are slowly but surely passing in
to the hands of persons who can
hardly speak the English Ian
guage.' Z Atty. Huff continued.
"The only Negro professional
or business persons who seem to
be secure Iare the undertakers,
hairdrcssers and BARRIERS. The
undertaken is secure because the
white undertaken, true to his
kind, refuses to deal with dead
Negroes-he wants live ONES.
Negro hairdresses are secure be-
cause white beauticians have no
desire to constantly inhale fumes
from burning locks. The Negro
barber is secure because the
white barber everywhere in
America is opposed to shaving a
Negro or cutting his hair.

WASHINGTON 80 {ANP) =
While various organizations thru
out the country are asking that
Negroes be given a fair chance
in the national defense program
as far as manufacturing arma-
rnents are concerned, Negro ari-
sans, skilled and unskilled work
ers are listening eagerly to hear
whether or not they will have any
part in the huge $50, 100000 na-
tional defense housing program.
AS the matter now stands the
overnment has appropriated this
vast sum for the construction of
..onles for defense workers, null
triple and single dwellings to care
for those who will be employed
in the vast manufacturing pro-
sgram getting under way. Where
there is inadequate housing the
government pans to step in and
take over the situation.
This means that there will or
should be adequate housing
available close to the plants where
defense workers will be employ
ed.
And in some instances, If the
plans are pushed, it will enable
Negroes to obtain employment,
should the government be far
sighted enough to see that Ne
groes are included in the housing
projects both as workers on the
buildings and as residents in the
completed projects.
Pointing with no little pride to
the successful infiltration Of Ne
gro workers on the e. S. Housing
projects, these same workers
who hope for employment in the
new program show that many
workers were employed on these
projects before their completion
and with little or no labor fric-
ton.
Skilled workers were employ
ed, electricians, plumbers, plas-
terers, birck layers, etc, right on
through the construction of the
houses through clauses inserted in
contracts awarded builders.
In some instances, the percent
age Of Negroes thus employed
was greater than the percentage
prescribed in the contracts and
the workers did highly satisfac-
tory work.
With this as a precedent, the
workers hope for an equitable
share in the vast program which
would assure them continuance
of employment since the Govern
mem is doing more building than
private contractors.
The assurance that Negroes
will be employed on these new
projerts would do much to restore
their confidence in the admins
tration for they point out that
inasmuch as it would prevent em-

Here Comes The Bride
Jenkins-FOulks

The marriage of Miss Mary Jen-
kins to Mr.. Edward Foulks was
solemnized at the parsonage of the
A. M. E. church Sunday, Oct. g.,
at $3.50 p. m. The rites were read
by the Rev. e. r. Hays, after
which a reception was held at the
Y. w. C. A.
The bride wore a white chiffon
dress and veil and carried beau
itful bouquet of white chrysan-
themums. She was adorned by a
dazzling bracelet, a family heir
loom, the gift of her mother-in-
law.
The table was decorated with a
beautiful imported Cluney lace Ia
BILE cloth, two crystal candelabras
in a riotous valley of flowers deft-
ly concealing the brides cake.
The bride was the recipient of
many beautiful and useful gifts,
too numerous to mention. The
couple are at home to their many
friends at 2711 E. Madison, after
