Chevy Chase Citizen!
Ask Reduction in
Unemployment Tax
Association Resolution
Points Out No Stund
Taken on Assembly

Declaring that "an unemployment
tax to encourage laziness Is fraud
| upon u.s." Francis C. Heigle secured
passage Of his motion calling for de-
crease in the District unemployment
tax of 81 per cent to one-half of
l per cent in a meeting last night Of
the Citizens Association of Chevy
Chase
Mr.. Heigle said the present tax has
accumulated a surplus of over $19.-
100000, and that the unemployed in
the District could be supported for
the next 10 years without further
collection of the tax.
In a motion introduced by Mr..
Heigle, the association declared that
it has taken no stand on the Mu-
nicipal Assembly and has instructed
its observers, George E. Dieffenbach,
secretary, and Seton Darr, chair
man of the body's Suffrage Commit
tee, TO report to the Executive Com
mittee, which will, in turn, report to
the association. Mr.. Darr has been
acting as temporary chairman Of
the Municipal Assembly, but Mr.
Heigle stated that Mr.. Darr had
made it plain that he did not act as
a representative of the Chevy Chase
group, but only as its observer.
Nine students from the Panel
Club of Woodrow Wilson High
School presented discussion Of the
duties of citizenship. They were
under the direction of Joseph Koch
ka of the faculty of the high school.
Mr.. Heigle discussed the bill re-
Gently introduced in Congress by
Representative Randolph. chairman
of the House District Committee.
Mr.. Heigle stated that he has not
heard of rents being raised in the
District and that he could point
to a large number Of homes In the
Chevy Chase area which have gone
untenanted for several months.

Hiking OF Rentals

The landlords are bringing on a
quicker deterioration OF their pro-
per,y by forcing this over-orowd-
ing.
Negroes themselves can do some
thing about it. They can organize
and stand together against these
outrageous increases. We preach
ers ought 10 get together and plan
Rent Protest Day that Will re-
sound from one end Of this town
to the other. Our families are being
driven TO moral decay. They cam
not rear a family in decency in this
present ovcr-crowded condition.
High rents and prescription pro-
uuce over-crowding Let us COM
bine 10 challenge this high rent
evil against our people.
1.-THE Common Council Fair Rent
Committee is not functioning with
any effectiveness Most OF tho city
Council and few Of the Committees
are aware OF the extent OF the high
rent evil among Negroes.
THE President Of the United
States promised that there would be
minimum Of profiteering during
the war emergency. This is the
time now TO bring the situation in
Detroit TO his attention"
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1941-10-04

A strong and determined opposi-
ton against the ever increasing
rent in communities populated by
colored residents was urged this
week by the Rev. Horace a. White,
pastor OF Plymouth Congregations
al church. Said the Rev. NJ. white:
THE landlords in the Negro
neighborhoods are throwing all
sense Of decency TO the winds in
thier rent profiteering. Here is an
example: 4 family on Willis street
paid $4,000 fer FIVE rooms last year.
two month ago the rent was raised
to $4,000 a week ago the family
got a notice that the rent would
be $500. This is ridiculous and
certainly it is unpstriotic. Cases OF
this kind may he duplicated many,
many. many times among Negroes
There has got to be some fern OF
legal control in the matter OF
rents. All over the Negro communi-
" rents have increased 1-3. In
many places rents are up 500
wages have not increased that
much. Families are doubling up "a
a very dangerous degree in order
10 keep shelter over their heads
This will intimately entail tremen-
