Housing Project Abuse

ORDINARILY yea couldn't condemn jury for re-
" fusing to evict tenant who regularly pays his
rent In the Brewster Housing project eviction
though there more complex issues involved
than occupancy of home by single tenant.
The case was one in which the City Of Detroit,
through the Detroit Housing Commission sought to
Dust tenant whose income is greater than the
limit set for tenants of the project. Circuit Court
commissioners jury decided against the city and al
lowed the tenant to remain.
~ The fundamental facts these:
The Brewster Housing Project is government
owned property-meanng it paid for by taxpayers
dollars.
It created to provide decent homes for those
who otherwise might have been forced to live in Sums
The particular tenant at issue admitted to the
project because by standards Of the housing commission
he came within that classifcaton.>~>
He is able to afford the rent he must pay to
private landlord and need longer be subsidized by
taxpayers dollars.
Therefore he should move.
This is but the first of 80 such faced
by the city, Every effort should be made to that
taxpayers need not furnish homes to those who can
afford to obtain their own.
The future of government-fnanced housing projects
is at stake because certainly taxpayers will not continue
to house those who can afford their own shelter

Gambling Boys Perking Up
At New Signs in Mexico
BY DAMON RUNYON

WE SAW some of the big days
w south of the border when
old Tia Juana was the liveliest
spot on the North American con-
tinent. or the worst heIl-hole,
according to the way you look at
those things. In any event, it
was hotter than a as. what with
its horse racing and gambling
and bars and dance halls and
DANES and after it came Aqua
Caliente which was to be turned
from a carousel into a sarcoph-
agus between suns.
First Tia Juana, then Aqua
Caliente were the weekend
resorts. of the Southern Cali
fornians and others on pleasure
bent, and everything went until
Cardenas, then president of
Mexico, sent word that put the
kibosh on the whole business.
One night the Aqua Caliente
hotel and its bars and casino
were packed and the next morn
ing they locked the doors and a
lurid sporting period was at an
end.
Now we hear that the new
government Of Mexico has given
the nod that will permit the
reopening Of Tia Juana and
Ensenada some distance away
where Jack Dempsey, the former
heavyweight champion. spent a
lot of money on resort enter
prise that never came off.

~ former fight promoter out
of San Francisco, and fellow
townSman named Jerry Bassity
started the saga of Tia Juana, a
dusty little Mexican town below
San Diego, years ago when they
became embroiled in a battle
for a race track there. a pos
session that had somewhat
dubious value at the time.
CofNroth won" out and began
displaying amazing acumen as
race track manager. He took
the track out of the leaky-roof
category to the turf big time
by putting up a 100000 purse
for one race which became
known as the Coffroth Handi-
cap, forerunper of the present
Santa Anita Handicap.
Coffroth's offering was the
richest of the racing prizes and
has yet TO be surpassed.
He gathered a number of as
sociates about him in the Tia

Notable Anniversary

i And the soundness of the motor magnate's be-
lief will be demonstrated graphically next Saturday when
1000 alumni of the famed Ford Trade School gather

the founding of the school.
The Ford Trade School began Is years ago with
one ROOM one instructor and six students
Today it covers three acres employs 40 instrucr

The institution operates under three basic principles
established by Henry Ford;
The boy must not be changed into premature

ACADEMIC instruction must accompany industrial

Pride and responsibility are to be maintained by
- production of materials of recognized industrial

The mark that former students of the Ford Trade

Despite it's proven worth Detroit still hesitates to
adopt the plan This is difficult to understand in view
of the growing number of traffic fatalities here.
Statistics show that per cent of all the cars in
voved in fatal accidents defective This may not
sound like such high figure until you consider that

die in auto accidents next year.

'Booby Trap War
On Western Desert
Has Grim Humor
British and Germans
Think Up Variations
Of Sudden Death
BY RICHARD MOWRER,
Foreign Correspondent of The Star
and Chicago Daily News


ON THE WESTERN DESERT,
Oct. 30.-The war has a grim humor
all its own and that ''humor" is
thriving out here in the forward
areas pending bigger developments.
An adjunct to the patrol activities
referred to in the communiques is
the BOBBY trap war.
When the Germans leave their
daytime observation. posts at dusk
to spend the night in stronger posi-
tionS a few miles back they also
leave behind a variety of devilish
tricks all associated with explosions
and intent of death. These are
BOBBY traps and the idea is for the
enterprising British night patrols to
fall for them and suffer the con-
sequences.
This BOBBY trap war. however,
works both ways, and although your
correspondent is not permitted to
90 into detail about 1t at present,
he is able to quote a member of the
Royal Engineers to the effect that
Boy, were they (the Germans sur
prised!"
When your correspondent last
week went out with a British night
patrol it came on new German
dug slit trench. There was some
thing in the trench-it turned out
to be a wooden crate. A sergeant
of the Royal Engineers investigated.
only a crate" he muttered, and
tossed it out. Nothing happened.
But one time a patrol came to
dugout occupied by the Germans
during the daylight hours but evacu-
ated at night. The men felt around
the entrance, found what they SuS-
pected had been arranged for their
coming and neutralized it. Then
they went inside and found a pitcher
of water on the table. The men
were not thirsty, however, when
member Of their party-a Royal
Engineer-pointed out that if they
lifted the pitcher off the table there
would be an explosion.
The British left the German dug
out none the worse for their visit,
thanks to the Royal Engineer. On
the other hand, the Royal Engineers
exclamation, Boy, were they sur
prised!" probably can be confirmed
by any surviving Germans who re-
turned to their dugout the next day.
So when war communicates speak
of the western desert front in terms
such as "all quiet" or mo change"
it is not far wrong to figure that
both sides out here are Willing
away the time thinking up new
variations to what the Britishers
call fun and games"
