Tunisian City Djedeida
South of Bizerte Port

Tebourba, in northern Tunisia, &C.
cupies the apex point Of a map tri-
angle whose base is anchored in
Bizerte and Tunis. Tebourba Is
about 80 air miles south Of Bizerte
and nearly 20 miles west of Tmis.
The railway line on which Tebourba
Is situated leads to Tunis by way Of
Djedeida. There is no railroad d.
rectly north from Tebourba to BIZ
zerte, although there is motor high
way together with several smaller
roads, running In that direction. To
approach the former French naval
base from Tebourba by rail, it Is nee
essary either to turn southwestward
to meet the main line from Algeria,
or move eastward (again through
Djedeida) and make big loop north
and west. Since the mountain
ranges Of Tunisia run diagonally
toward the northeast a broken coun-
try Of hill, mountain and valley lies
between Tebourba and Bizerte.
Toward Tunis, on the other hand,
the road is an open one, the valley
of the Medierda, In which Tebour-
ba lies, widening into broad plain
as 1t approaches the coast.

to go before Congress soon to ask
for more money for the United
States Employment Service and
fewer restrictions on it's personnel.
Questions will inevitably be asked
about the FEPC.
The developments cited were en-
cOuraging to these within the Ad-
ministratiOn who wanted to suspend
all efforts against discrimination
and who regarded Mrs. Roosevelt
as an incOrrigible idealist. At the
same time, however, the FEPC was
staying in business and appeared
on the verge of obtaining an in
creased appropriation. 1t had hired
Henry Epstein, former Solicitor
General of New York, to conduct
the lOng-advertised railroad hear
ings. Epstein and his staff had col
lected their evidence. And in a
larger sense the FEPC, despite its
inadequacies, was becoming a court
of appeals and hope for Negroes
who found employment gates
slammed in their faces. 1t needed
more men and more money, but its
mere existence was a symbol of
the Presidents plans for a new deal
for the Negro. The problem still
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1943-01-29

remained enormous: 4 recent sur
vey in relatively enlightened New
York City showed that Negroes,
who form 81 per cent of the pOpu-
latiOn, formed rs per cent of the
unemployed.
Now even the symbol of progress
and hope is slipping away.
Can we afford to buy of" the
Southern Democrats at the expense
of the Negroes and other minOri-
ties? Can We afford it in the face
of the man-pOwer demands of the
production program and the crucial
challenges of psychological war
fare? To put it bluntly, the hopes
of Negroes have been raised, and
their disillusiOnment now will be
far more disastrous than if the
President had never shown a will
ingness to wage this battle. There
are delicate balances which must
be achieved in pushing the cam
paign against discrimination; the
FEPC was fully sensitive to them.
But now, swiftly, the President
must act to silence the doubts and
despair which will envelOp the Ne
gro population. The FEPC must
be kept alive. Its right to function
freely must be reasserted. There
is not much time to retrieve the
ground already lost.

Beauty Supply
Firm Wraps
Service Gifts

The National Beauty Supply Co.,
at COG Hennepin Avenue, has taken
another step forward to help insure
delivery of packages to boys and
girls in our armed forces. After
selection of gifts are made they
will wrap all packages securely for
mailing, according to military reg
ulations, address them and mail
them, promptly.
The problem of what to send to
those away from home has also
been solved by the National. They
have an assortment of thousands
of necessary items as well as
games, tricks, puzzles and cards to
amuse the whole family and friends
here at home.
An especially fine selection of
Valentines and candy is on display.
National suggests that gifts to be
mailed for Valentines should be
sent Immediately in order to reach
destinations in time.

How Chicago Negroes Helped
Solve Deficit In Low Cost
Housing Project In That City

in "Wellstown" ''the happiest
community in the world" they
called themselves - but as bust
ness proposition it was no go. They
had paid out more than half a
million dollars in rent; but they
had fallen short of solvency by
$156.49 - 1890 Of l per cent.
Here was a crisis. And this is
the way it was met.
CRISIS
The Ida B. Wells Community
News got out a special edition, in
viting everybody to attend a birth
day party for the superintendent,
Mr.. Oscar Brown.
In his honor, everybody was
asked to contribute to a fund for
the liquidation of the $156.49 def
cit. Gifts were to be no less than
a dime, nor more than Is cents.
The party was a great success.
Under pennies and nickels, the
tenants of the Ida B. Wells Homes
buried that shameful deficit; and
now, after 10 months of operation,
can say that their financial record
is without blemish.
Congratulations to Mr.. Oscar
Brown, the people Of "Wellstown"

Ignore all change, new technicalities,

To slave and clown in ways congenial;

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
enjoy reading your paper.
Reading today is a vital necessity
in which thirteen million Negroes,
man, woman and child should be in
terested for the sake of racial JUS
tiee. If one is not interested in it
for the sake Of racial justice, then
one ought to be interested in it for
the sake of culture and civilization
because they are made, not born.
It is like life. It has to be nourished
by both material and spiritual cul-
ture.

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED
By Howard Vincent O'Brien
In the Chicago Sun


Dire things happen when gov
eminent invades the domain of pri-
vate enterprise. Take the case of
the Ida B. Wells Homes, built by
the Chicago Housing Authority for
Negro families who would other
wise be without decent lodging.
This project was opened 10
months ago; and, unfortunately,
has been a losing venture. There
was a deficit. The government was
in the red, to the extent of $156.49.
Some 1850 families, none of
them having an annual income of
more than $1,1O7 1.-THE average was
$3.50, or $14.54 a weekly had been
provided with shelter, but the bur-
den had been too great. The gov
eminent, after 10 months of altru-
ism, was $156.49 in the hole.
