account OF color, QeclQeQ CnaC
legitimate business of his own.
What he did not know was that
there is a certain influential ele-
ment among the powers that be
who do not want Negroes in any
legitimate business.
Mr.. Parker rented place at 1909 |
4th Ave. So, made application for
a license and was advised that he
could start in business pending the
granting of a food license which
he was assured would be properly
granted.
Saturday night was the big open
ing, and in all fairness to the resi-
dents of the vicinity, Mr.. Parker
did good business until Alderman
Jens Christensen of the Fifth Ward
appeared on the scene.
Shocked into a holy horror, by
the cleanliness, the crowd, and more
forcibly by the fact that it looked
like Parker was going over big,
Christensen forgot the maxims
about cleanliness that he used in
the days he peddled soap to shop
workers.
Christensen rushed out and
found a cop. He rushed back with
the cop, he rushed the crowd out
of the place, and he threatened
Parker with arrest for doing bust
ness without license.
Nor was this all, for Saturday
night was a busy night for Mr..
Christensen, Alderman, who made
his plea for colored votes on the
grounds that he was friendly to
all men, so friendly that he fire.
quently played poker with some
of our gentlemen he knew. Late
Saturday night found Alderman
Jens Christensen stalking Fourth
Avenue with a petition, designed
to make it appear that Parker was
not wanted in the neighborhood.
Early Sunday morning he was still
on the job, hunting signers in the
taverns of the district.
One of the reasons he gave was
that Parker would fill the neighbor-
hood with the wrong kind of people!
Another reason that came to this
writer was that he feared Parker
would start bootlegging, and ruin
the morals of the neighborhood.
This notwithstanding the fact that
no man ever died of alcoholic lack
in the area that comprises his ward.
At the hearing Monday morn
ing before the Hospitals and Health
Committee where Parker was rep
resented by Attorney Harry L.
Scott, Christensen gave several
weak reasons for being opposed to
Parker. Among them was the fact
that he once refused an ex-soldier
beer license at the same place.
He told Parker prior to the hearing
that he should open a place on
Washington Ave!
Another hearing on the matter
is scheduled for today, the result
of which we cannot obtain by press
time.
A move however is on foot head
ed by James T. Wardlaw, execu-
tive secretary Of the Urban League,
to investigate the motives behind
Alderman Christiansen's activities,
as his whole program is obviously
based on an attitude wholly foreign
to the spirit of the neighborhood
and common decency.
Alderman W. J. Murphy, the
other Fifth, Ward Alderman, did
not oppose the granting of the
license.

This is the promise made by the Palace Corp, the nations only producer of factory-built homes.
 Worrying about blueprints, ma- terials, furnishings or moving will be unnecessary, the corporation says.
 Here is the corporations postwar plan:
 At fraction of the cost of other types. five-room homes with baths, completely furnished, will roll off assembly lines at the factory. Out lets for these finished homes will be set up like automobile show rooms in every community. Cata- logues will make it possible for the purchaser to place his order by mail or telephone.
 In 10 minutes the house can be ready for transport to the purchas- CTS lot, and half an hour after its arrival the family can move in requiring nothing more than sheets and kitchen utensils.
 If your family grows, one phone call will be all that's necessary to deliver an extra wing with nursery or a guest room in case you are anticipating a houseful of guests.
 The low price of these factory built homes will depend on trans portation costs, so the corporation is already planning to open addi- tional factories in Texas and Southern California to serve the Southern and West Coast markets.
 We believe we have answered all the major problems of the low cost housing industry" said D. D. Arehard, president of Palace.
 The firms present capacity is nearly 1000 complete homes month. With it's additional factor ies and improved machinery after the war, Arehard expects to triple the output.

RATION TOKENS
 START FEB. 27
Banks Have Enough on Hand to Supply Demands
 Borough Merchants

Naugatuck, Feb. 18.-The Nauga- tuck National bank is prepared to begin issuing ration tokens to re- tailers who bring in the equivalent amount of ration coupons. Official application forms have not been received by either bank or the local ration board, but the exchanges will be allowed.
 These tokens will be put into cir- culation Feb. 27 as change fer pro- cessed foods ration coupons. The state OPA said owing to the delay food sellers have made in sending their applications in, applications will be taken up to that date.
 Neither the bank nor the board has received any applications as yet, although the bank has tokens on hand. Wholesalers apparently will provide forms on which retailers will paste their loose coupons in exchange for the tokens.
 The OPA reported banks have enough tokens on hand to supply the demands of the merchants, and that a surplus was on hand to take care of any emergency shortage that might arise.
 These tokens will be necessary to continue business operations after the 27th, when they go into general use.

NO. 39 NONTRADE AND NONBUSINESS DEDUCTIONS

Many taxpayers have income and expenses which do not relate to a trade or business but concern the production or collection of taxable income, or the management, con- servation or maintenance of prop erty held by the production of in- come, such as occasional rental properties, or investment securities. Formerly these expenses were not deductible, but now they may be deducted in arriving at the net in- come for 1943 subject to normal tax, surtax, and the victory tax.
 Expenses of this kind must be req Sonable in amount, and must bear a reasonable and close relation to the income or the income-producing property.
 Fees for services of investment counsel, custodian fees, clerical help, office rent, and similar investment expenses may be deducted if they are shown to be ordinary and neces- Sary expenses of producing invest ment income or caring for invest ment property.
 Expenses which may not be de- ducted as nontrade or nonbusiness expenses include personal items such as commuters expenses, cost of talk ing special courses of training, and expenses for improving personal ap- pearance. The rental of a safe deposit box used for storing jewelry and other personal effect is not de- ductible. Travelling expenses in- cured in seeking employment, or in placing oneself in position to begin rendering personal services for compensation are not allowable. No deduction may be taken for cam paign expenses of a candidate for public office. bar examination fees and other costs of securing admit tance to the bar, and similar fees paid by physicians, dentists, ac- countants and others for securing the right to practice their respective ? VSofessions. Furthermore, no deduc- tion can be allowed for expenses which are disallowed generally by specific provision of law.
 If expenses are incurred in pro- ducing both taxable income and in- come that is not subject to tax, only the expenses relating to the taxable income may be deducted.
 The allowance for nontrade or nonbusiness expenses does not in- clude capital expenditures. nor ex- penses of transactions carried on primarily as a sport, hobby, or recreation. Whether a transaction will be regarded as consisting a sport, hobby, or recreation, on the one hand, or as relating to the pro- duction of taxable income or the management, conservation, or main- tenance of income producing prop erty, on the other, depends not merely on the intent of the tax. payer but on all the circumstances. including the record of prior gains or losses resulting from the activ- fly, the relation of that activity to tine taxpayers principal occupation and the uses to which the property. or that which it produces, is put by the taxpayer.
 Deductions may be allowed for reasonable payments for services land other expenses of guardian,
