In explaining why Negroes are
not accepted in the housing project,

"Our Southern white tenants
would object to the presence Of
Negroes in the project and it would
lead to trouble"
At the conference, City Council
or Samuel ]. Selleck urged that
quarters be provided for the Ne

City Manager John W. Sheddy re-
piled that all city-owned property
was in full use.

Army Took James or A|sab's
Back and Jockey Is Proud Of It
Famous Rider
SeesOur Side
Closing With
Rush

NEW YORK - Basil Budd
James figures 1t cost him $4,000
when he was indicted into the
army. Aug. rs. but he wouldn't
trade his uniform for all the
money in the world.
Basil James, you see, was riding
Alsab. among other horses, when
Uncle Sam called. after once re-
jecting him as being too light.
Alsab won the American Derby
and earned S6o.s5o the day James
took an Army physical for the
second time.
James got 10 per cent Of
the colts earnings. collected
$4,000 the day he booted him
home In the Preakness. That
gives you q rough idea Of
what James sacrificed for $50
n month and found. and Alsab
really went TO town following
the sunnyside stylists last
trip on him In the Belmont
Stakes.
But James, like thousands Of
other young Americans who were
tops In professions and business
and left TO 70 to war. isn't COM
planning.
Il wouldn't Be out Of this uni
form for anything on earth" he
smiles.
IN X-RAY DARK ROOM
Private James is in the x-rsy
dark room at the huge induction
center at Grand Central Palace,
New York.
Only ~. he does not believe the
layoff will affect his riding II he is
out no longer than a year.
Certainly I intend to return TO
the races" he says. That is all
I know"
James Was raised among
horses. His father, Lee. rode
bucking horses ut fair rodeos
In the state Of Washington.
where Basil Was born In the
Yakima valley.
James is not predicting q short
war. He is in no position to know
anything at all about that. but
wants to put himself on record as
saying that our boys are going
to close rapidly. as they say at
the track.
IF you could see the thousands
Of young fellows going through
this induction center and get the
spirit around here. you would
know that" he asserts.
UNIFORMED ABOUT WEIGHT
James IL not worried about
