6eldon Quiere Aminorar la Representation Latina
EXTIENDE LA BARRIADA DE WEST AMP HASTA
LA GALE DE FRANKLIN

ell voto a favor del impuesto a los
.cigarrillos, propuso aver EN- ell Sc
nado de la Florida, combinado con
ell letrado Edwin Thomas, de esta
ciudad, que ell ayuntamiento de
Tampa Sc componga de doce ON
cejales, seis electos por barrios o
Districts, y seis por ell conjunto de
la poblaci6n.
La combination Sheldon-Thomas
trata de quitarle un CONCEAL a
Ybor City y extiende los hmites
de las barbados de mode que el
vote de la poblacion latina, IA
la que Raymond debe su election,
tenga menos valor en- cuanto a ele-
CIR co%ncejales. Los districts que
ell senador, cada vez mas desacer-
tado en- su actuaci6n, trata de
crear son estos: Hyde Park, in
cluyendo parte de la zona comer-
cial; Palmetto Beach, Gary y
Jackson Heights, de modo que
pierda su valor ell vote de los ciu-
dadanos latinos que residen EN-
Palmetto; West Tampa Y parte
del presente distrito alto de la ca
lie de Franklin, con la e%speranza
de que no pueda ser electo min
gun "latino" con la incorporation
de nuevos votos; Ybor City, abar-
cando ell distrito de Cannella y
parte del distrito de Pelaez, de
modo que la colonia latina pierda
un CONCEAL; parte de Seminole
Heights y Tampa Heights, cor ell
fin de que pierda su valor ell vote
de los ciudadanos latinos de Tam
pa Heights y no pueda un ciudada-
no de apeIlido Garcia representa-
a la barriada, y Seminole Heights,
que ahora tiene dos concejales.
Con la division que trata de ha-
Ger el senador, asesorado por Ed
win Thomas, Sc arrebata a In o
lonia latina una parte de su re-
presentation, no importa 10 que
digan ciertos caballeros.
Aunque en- muchos casos Ia re-
presentation de los barrios latinos
no ha estado a la altura del pres
tigio de los fundadores de esta
ciudad, ell pueblo de Ybor y West
Tampa, que tanto ayudara a Shell
don, Sc opone a las nuevas mani
obras de la politica infima.
va es sabido que en- la votacion
por toda la ciudad, no obstante
los "pujos" democraticos, los ciu-
dadanos de apellidOs espanoles e
ita!ianos no tendran representa-
ci6n.
Los ~prejuicios seran utilizados
en- contra de ellos y de la lucha
saldran siempre con la boca amar-
ga.
La actitud de Raymond Sheldon
era aguardada porque hace varios
meses ensen6 las unas en- n en-
trevista que publicara el Tampa
Morning Tribune.
Edwin Thomas, que no era po-
pular en- los barrios latinos, con
esta maniobra "perdera otros mu-
chos puntos''.
Desea ell pueblo latino, aun re-
c~onociendo los defectos de algunos
de sus Representatives., que ell
sistema actual Sc mantenga.
Bajo la proposition de Sheldon
Thomas, ell binomio que va CANT
no del hundimiento politieo, los
ciudadanos latinos no podran te-
ner en- ell ayuntamiento, aunque Ia
suerte les favorezca, mas de dos
concejales.
Actualmente cuatro de los edi-
les tienen nombres espaholes c

canos como los que recaban para

Waste Busy Department
Heads Time
BY Federated Press

WASHINGTON-For two and
one half hours Price Administra-
tor Prentiss Brown and Deputy
Administrator Kenneth Galbraith,
who had been called by Chairman
Ellison D. Cotton Ed Smith of
the senate agriculture committee
to testify on meat, waited. Cotton
Ed then adjourned the hearing
without calling on them.
He heard independent packers,
including Atty. Wilbur LaRoe, Jr.,
of Washington, for the Natl. In
dependent Meat Packers Assn,
who after complaining bitterly of
OPA's unfair quota system" and
price ceilings threatening ruin to
small packers, received such SYM
pathetic treatment from Cotton Ed
he found himself defending OPA.
Can't See Why
Il can't see why" said Cotton
Ed, under this situation that's
said to be so terrible-with an
abundance of cattle on foot-why
there are any quotas given out.
Just say, process all you can, we'll
take so much for the army, navy,
the world, globaloney-"
He paused, looked about for ex-
pected admiration on the faces of
the packers, and saw the slightly
panied look on LaRoe's. Although
a South Carolina packer was in
the act of testifying, LaRoe
leaped to his feet and explained,
You see, you can slaughter all
the meat you want for the army.
The quotas are to protect the
army!"
$50 the civilians can go to the
devil, grumbled Cotton Ed. "We
feed our allies and our army and
the civilians get scraps"
Brown tried to speak on the
shortage of supply compared to
the demand despite the abundance
of cattle being slaughtered, but
Smith dismissed him with a wave
of the hand and the words: "After
these witnesses, l want these men
from the government to say why
we have to send so much to Eng
land"

Hollywood Lot
By Ted Taylor

HOLLYWO0D-The gilt-edged
labof-management conference was
inaugurated when presidents and
attorneys Of major film companies
invited representatives of the
Screen Actors Guild (AFL) and
of the Screen Writers Guild and
Screen Directors Guild (unaffiliat-
ed to discuss what to do about
the $4,000 net salary limit.
From reports nothing much was
decided, high hopes being held for
the Disney rider to the appropria-
tions bill. However, summaries
were given of what the picture in
dustry has done to help win the
war by running victory films in
the theaters, encouraging theater-
goers to buy bonds and turn in sal
wage, sending stars out to sell
bonds and entertain troops, etc.
One screen writer ventured a
suggestion that an important field
for consultation of writers and di-
rectors with movie management
lay in the subject matter of motion
pictures themselves.
The suggestion went no place,
the producers having already ap-
pointed their own committee to
confer with Lowell Mellett, motion
picture chief of owl, on such
matters.

Landlords Field
Day Envisioned
Tenants Would Get
Gouging
BY Federated Press

WASHINGTON-The latest bill
to wreck OPA rent control being
pushed by the landlords and the
reactionaries in congress would ex-
tend the landlords paradise that is
the nations capital over the entire
country.
Washington Pattern for Nation
Pictured in countless jokes that
have swept the country as the es-
sence of callous landlords, Wash
ington apartment house owners
and hotel and boarding house keep
ers now may preen themselves as
perfect examples.
HR1877, introduced by Rep. Ed
ward V. Izac Cd. CALI, would
make Washington the pattern of
the whole nation. Washington has
its own rent control regulations,
outside of OPA's control, and it
was from looking about here that
OPA learned, for instance, that
registration of landlords would be
good thing. The district has no
registration. Consequently, en-
forcement is a matter for prayer
and goodwill. The bill envisions
this happy state as nationwide.
The fresh approach in the Izac
bill, the uneXpectedness of consid-
ering Washington an example of
anything in the way of municipal
government, improves it's chances
of passing.
Other new bills attacking rent
control are by Rep. Mathew H.
Ellsworth (R.-Ore.), but the Craw-
ford bill, against which the United
Auto Workers (CIO) have been
protesting, is still the most vicious
of the seven rent control wrecking
bills.
Judge Causes Crisis
Union representatives in South
Bend, Ind, and Detroit have in
formed OPA here that a recent
rulin of U. S. District Judge
Thomas w. Slick at South Bend
is being used by landlords to
threaten wholesale increase of
rents, spreading the rumor that all
rent control is to be abandoned.
He dismissed a triple damage
suit against landlord who over
charged $40 a month and declared
the rent control act was uncon-
stitutional. 1t is the first such rul-
ing. Several hundred cases in the
lower courts have ended in fines
for landlords. At Wichita, Kan, a
three judge district federal court
upheld the act in the Kimmell
case. OPA will appeal Sticks rul-
ing.

Clothes Hoordinq Continues
AS RoFioning Is Delayed
By Federated Press

NEW YORK-American cloth
ing supplies were being rapidly de-
pleted March 3 by panic boarding
which sent store sales soaring as
much as 500 above year ago.
Although warned by organized
labor and consumer organizations
weeks ago that experience in Eng
land has proved rationing to be
the only way to stop boarding, the
Office of Price Administration and
Office of War Information tried
vainly to stop it by insisting there
would be no rationing.
Counters Mobbed
Surveys by the Newspaper Pm
and the Wall Street Journal en-
phasized the seriousness of the
rush to hoard clothes. New York
stores, interviewed by PM, said
their clothing counters were being
virtually mobbed. The financial
newspaper reported the same sit
uation, or worse, in every major
American city.
The Federal Reserve Bank re-
ported that department store sales
were up 1920 the week ending Feb.
20 but reports from individual
cities showed increases ranging
from 1870 in New York to 500
in Washington.
OPA Chief Prentiss Brown in
Washington insisted that rationing
was not necessary because there
is no shortage of textiles or cloth
ing to make it necessary. This is
contradicted by the results of a
survey of clothing buyers and an
analysis of textile production by
the Textile Workers Union (CIO)
reported Jan. 13 by Federated
Press and again confirmed by buy
ers in a Wall Street Journal sur
vey Feb. 26.
HOarding Continues
Typical of how hoarders are
hogging the available supplies is
story in the March 2 Women's
Wear Daily from Dallas, Tex, re-
porting that one woman purchased
16 suits, another woman $1,000
worth of hosiery and one man 12
suits.
One clue as to who is responsible
for the delay in rationing may be
found in 7-column ad which
Lord q Taylor, large. department
store, published in The New York
Times March 3, offering to wager
$4,000 that clothing would NOT
be rationed.
