Colored citizens of Cambridge
bitterly complain that they
have no representation on thei
Plan E slate, although one of
the most effective arguments
used in the two Plan E cam
paigns was that plural voting
would enable all the larger pop
ulation groups to secure repre-
sentation in the city govern
ment. The fact that the Plan E
does bear representatives of
Italian and Jewish citizens is
frankly acknowledged by color
ed citizens as a just recognition
Of these two large and import
ant groups. The voting strength
Of either Of these elements, col
ored leaders contend, is not
greater than that Of the colored
citizens. IF the committee had
been consistent a spokesman
commended, lit could not justly
Ignore the colored voters while
recognizing the fair claims of
the other races"
AdcSSg to colored voters re-
sentiment is the fact that they
overwhelmingly supported the
Plan E cause. 1t is remembered
that Or. Alexander Cox, prom
Inent in Cambridge civic and
political movements, was a pi-
oaeer advocate of proportional
representation and worked en-
Enthusiastically in both cam
paigns for the adoption of Plan
e. Therefore, the colored people
of Cambridge feel that they
have been betrayed" and neg
lected' by the Plan E leaders
who promised through p r an
opportunity to get proportional
representation in City HALL"
and they want to know why.

Mr.. Ward is determined that
the high standard Of education
which Boston has enjoyed shall

Councillor Ward, having lived

The mayor Of Bristol, Va, iu-
bilates over the benefits which
have been brought to the city
by public housing. 1--WE have
found that school attendance of
children living in our low-cost
housing area is better than for
merly, and crime has been cut
to nothing-this is an area that
used to be a Stun section and a
breeding place of crime.
''The advantages Of the hous-
ing project to the city offset any
loss which might be sustained in
tax exemption of the Bristol
project" the Mayor said. Be
fore the housing project went up
the city had revenue Of only
about $1,l0O a year in taxes from
the area which is now a clean,
respectable part Of the city. The
city now benefits from the sale
of more water in the rehabili-
tated area and also from the
fact that homes in the neigh
borhood surrounding the pro-
ject have been improved, auto
matically increasing the assessed
values of those residences and
properties"
This is a delightful report,
which persons familiar with
"our low-cost housing" on Lenox
street, Boston, would wish to du-
plicate as they describe the re-
suits of building that project.
Under Massachusetts, laws school
attendance had better be good.
The careful selection of tenants
and the administration of the
project account for the expected
order among the project popu-
lation. The project homes and
grounds add to the beauty of the
area. But we fail if we attempt
to assert that homes in the
neighborhood surrounding the
project have been improved
They have not been improved.
The south side OF Kendall street.
for a painful example, presents
to its clean, respectable new
conner on the opposite side an

Some houses have been torn

others are badly in need of re-
pairs. There is nothing what

FLEE HITLER's MRATH
Arriving home aboard the SIS.
Excambion from Lisbon, Portu-
gal, we're Willie Lewis, noted
band leader, sax player, and
Billy Burns, trombonist. Unlike
many refugees who fled war
torn Europe, the boys had the
best to say about everyone ex-
cept Hitler himself. They left
Holland last May and travelled
via Switzerland and unoccupied
France, and all along the line
had no difficulty other than the
surrender of all cash except an
allowance of $3.50 in marks.
Willie said when he found that
the case he had about 5000 and
sent the balance to one of his
friends in Holland.
They spent several weeks in
Portugal, and worked most of the
time, as there are many wealthy
people there who are awaiting
chance to get to America and
they spend quite freely. Paying
1859 for passage home the boys
said that they had no complaint
to make against the Export Line,
and praised the splendid fare
they received. They were much
in demand by the fellow passen-
gers, and played for the amuse-
ment Of the public.
I inquired for Josephine Baker,
once the sepia sweetheart Of the
night life in Paris, and the boys
said that they had not seen or
heard of Joe during their tray
els, and were sure that she was
not in Portugal as was reported
some time ago.
There is one thing that you
must keep in mind in Europe,
keep your mouth shut" there
are many people who overtalk
themselves, and express senti-
ments against the Nazis, and go
to their graves without knowing
the reason why. Secret agents
of Hitler's gurad are here and
there at every hand, and you
never know when you are talk
ing to one, and what you say
may mean death.
