SEEK RADIO STATION
IN HARLEM

NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (ANP) -
Bandleaders Lucky Millinder, Frs
kin Hawkins and Cootie Williams; !;
boxer Ray Robinson and Nat Cole,
leader of the sensational King Cole
Trio, are forming a combination in
tending to give Harlem it's long
looked for radio station.
While planning is still in the pre-
liminary stages the group has met
three times already for exploratory
conferences. Planning has advanc-
ed to the point of making overtures
to several men to fill key positions
in the operational setup of the pro-
posed station.
Millinder, Hawkins and Williams
are aware that their many hit re-
cordings have been the foundation
of the success of many radio sta
tions just as have the recordings of
other top flight Negro band leaders.
They reason that in spite of their
contributions, others have reaped
the profits created by those record
broadcasts.
Even more important than the
profit motive is the firm conviction
on the part of all involved that ra-
dio station can render real service
to Americas largest Negro COM
munity. In addition it will offer a
real outlet for Negro artists to dis
play their talents.
1t is expected that three-fourths
of the men in the combination will
meeting regularly while all are in
New York. Williams is headlining
the show at the Zanzibar mite club
on Broadway; Hawkins is featured
at the Savoy; while Millinder is TAX
ing a brief rest following his long
coast-to-coast tour. Robson is con-
valescing from a recent illness and
will remain In the metropolitan
area to prepare for his bid for the
welterweight boxing championship
this spring.
Cole is on a swing around the
country but is in constant contact
with the other men both from his
recommendations and in order to
be kept informed Of the status of the
ambitious project.

Housing Crisis Gets Official Scrutiny

Dayton's housing shortage is ex-
pected to occupy a major share of
attention at the Municipal building
today.
Continuance of the city housing
bureau and relief from the current
shortage of living quarters are ex-
pected to come before city COM
mission at its 10 am. meeting.
A conference on housing also is
slated for $3.50 am. in offices of
City Manager Fred O. Eichelberger,
Spokesman for the Chamber of
Commerce housing committee will
attend, it was indicated.
Meanwhile, opposition appeared
growing to temporary housing of
the ''makeshift variety" for veter-
ans. A delegation of United Civic
association members, Belmont resi-
dents and business and church
leaders of that community will ap-
pear to protest proposed compile
tion of the Smithville road hous-
ing project.
Erection of 180 temporary homes
along Smithville road at Belmont
has been opposed for the last year.
Work on the project was suspended
after leveling had been completed
and sewers laid.
Members of American Legion
and Veterans Of Foreign Wars
posts here repeatedly also will ap-
pear to oppose temporary housing
for veterans and their families.
Opponents of temporary housing
urge city campaign to promote
doubling up and a speedup in
permanent home construction. E.

Civic association, last week called
on Mayor Frank M. Krebs and
other city officials to open their
homes to veterans and their fan.

ways, not to see each other until
game time tomorrow.
The fighting Irish arrived at
Bear Mountain Inn, a few miles
from the point, just as the Army
squad left by bus for the Knoll
wood Country Club outside New
York City.
Both teams expected to take
very light workouts today if the
weather remained good. The
Army squad was, by common
consent, in the finest physical
condition it had reached since it
began slaughtering all corners
last season. Seventeen of the
% players on the first and Sec
ond cadet teams participated in
last years $50 rout of the Irish.
Before last nights big pen
rally, which was attended by
the entire corps of cadets and
the Army squad, Coach Blaik
said flatly he didn't expect to
win tomorrow by anything like
the 1884 score. He said the Irish

that they would be fight

deal about such matters. but to
a man who only knows what he
sees, namely the writer, it still
looked like a hefty score for

jap Lawyer
Brands TOTO
Criminal
BY RUSSELL BRINES

TOKYO, Nov. 9 -(PD-Fusa-
aki Uzawa. prominent japanese
lawyer appointed TO defend war
criminals. today declined to par
ticipate in the Defense of Hideki
Toto, the Pearl Harbor Pre-
mier", because "Tojo personally
was responsible for the war"
Uzawa, president of Meiii uni
versity. nevertheless said that
TOTO should be given fair trial
although | am not sure that
he deserves it'-because Of the
international importance of the
case.
The 73-year-old Uzawa told
the Associated Press that ne
would not defend any japanese
charged as a war criminal unless
ne personally was satisfied the
accused was innocent. He said
he believed TOTO would find it
difficult to obtain japanese
counsel.
WIDESPREAD FEELING
Uzawa said he shared the op-
inion of Japanese who believe
TOTO is personally responsible
for the war" particularly since
he acted on his own responsible
ity and refused to listen TO con-
trary opinions.

There was a trend toward war
IN this country and I won't de-
fend anyone who led those
trends, although perhaps there
might be some of Tojo's civilian
cabinet members who were
dragged into war themselves"
NOT CONSULTED
Uzawa said he was named to
the war criminal defense body
without consultation; then asso-
ciates asked him to accept be-
cause of his age and influence
in Tokyo's leading law associa-
ton. He figured in some of the
country's leading political and
criminal cases in his years as a
criminal lawyer He formerly
was a member of the House Of
Peers.
Tojo's trial will be important
internationally because he was
at the head of the Japanese gov
eminent at the outbreak OF host
ilities and therefore judgement
of him will set an important pre-
cedent in international law,

Indians Did AS Well

Ten years ago, Oregon had disastrous
forest fire which caused loss of life and MIL
lions of dollars damage, including the destruc'
ton of tens of thousands of acres of the finest
Douglas fir timber in the world. Nature start
ed to erase the scars Immediately and IN the
mast decade new forests of Christmas trees
have begun to cover the blackened hills and
mountains. This fire was similar to others in
earlier years.
Then in 1915, fire started again in the old
Tillamook burn and ragged largely out of con-
troll for month, destroying new growth and
old green timber, until rain stopped it.
| According to reports, the state and counties
are as unprepared to fight forest fires Sue
cessfully as in the days when the Indians in.
h; bited the land.
A forest fire is terrifying spectacle. This
only emphasizes the fact that definite steps
should be taken to study ways and means to
limit its destruction to as small area as
possible Surely some provision can be made
for studying and adopting methods which will
save one of the nations greatest national re-
sources-its forests-which protect watersheds,
soil and wild life, and furnish the basic build
ing material for the nation.
Fire prevention has long since become an
exact science in cities, and there is no excuse
for states OF counties or the Federal govern
ment delaying in adopting methods to assure
protection for the forest lands.
The Tillamook burn in Oregon in 1945 should
be one of the last glaring examples of the
ravages of forest fires due to the indifference
or neglect of communities that are blessed
with such natural resources

Strike Threat

Beginning on General Motors, the United
Automobile Workers of CLIO threatened to
strike unless there is a 80 per cent increase
in pay. Following General Motors the union
leadership will 60 to work on Chrysler and
Ford. If the workers in the plants of these
three leading artonlotive concerns, do vote to
strike, the production of motor vehicles Will
be cut to a minimum at a time when the
motor vehicles of the nation are ready for the
scrap heap.
Union leaders in the automotive industry
and the tens of thousands OF workers under
their thumb having lived in comfort and Sc
curity at home while other millions OF Amerl-
cans were fighting two wars at opposite ENDS
OF the world, and after receiving latter pay
envelopes than they ever did before, propose
now, that the actual fighting has stopped and
before the fighting 1orces are demobilized in
toto. to tie up an essential industry OF peace
time, as many thousands OF workers old IN
wartime, to the decentralization OF the industry.
Whether they realize it or not, they are
doing kindness to initiation which is liable
to get completely out OF hand II they are
successful in securing the advance in pay they
propose to demand.
! A wise government should be prepared to
add this 80 per cent increase to the taxes al
ready levied upon workers in auto factories.
if onlv to set the brakes on initiation to that
extent.
The unfortunate part of this strike move
ment is that it stems from labor leadership
that thousands upon thousands OF workers,
seeing the economic danger of such strike
have no sympathy with it but because OF their
compulsory union membership will be unable
to avoid walking out at an order from above.

Realty Prices Steady

A forecast is made by the United Business
hold relatively firm for several years. De-
clines. in some war industry centers where
prices were inflated by temporary housing
shortages are inevitable, says the service, but
other areas will benefit permanently from
wartime industry and population gains.
The service points out that building costs
are about one-thrd higher than prewar, and
there is little prospect Of any substantial de-
cline for several years. This increase in costs
will be reflected in the selling prices OF new
homes, and in the market values of existing
properties--which are influenced by replace
ment costs as well as by demand.
Most potent sustaining force affecting real
estate prices will continue to be the nation
wide housing shortage. New building during
the war period has not even kept pace with
fire losses. With buying power at record levels,
an unprecedented number of people have
funds to buy or build home. More war bonds
are earmarked for this than for any other
purpose
Military rehabilitation will intensity the
housing shortage. There will be many de-
ferred marriages, and large numbers of home
seekers among those married just prior to OF
during the war. CT loans will facilitate home
ownership by veterans. Higher rents as con-
trolls are lifted will also stimulate home build
ing and buying-both for owner-occupancy and
income purposes The inflationhedge appeal
of property, low mortgage rates, and tax in
ducements to home ownership are other
bullish factors.
Ultimately, the coming building boom will
begin to catch up with demand, and have an
adverse effect on prices. But this point is
still several years away, in the opinion of the
service.

reached the resistance forces, OSS military
personnel parachuted behind the lines to meet
leaders, contacted their homes by radio, and
arranged the time and place Of dropping the

Most of the operation took place at night,
and flares and flashlights were used as ground
signals. Whenever possible, soldiers in OSS
who knew the exact dropping zone accom-
panied the pilot on his mission and gave the
signal for the containers to be dropped

The United States has not previously gone
in for 'cloak and dagger work. That has
been chiefly practiced by Europeans. But with
this record, it is obvious that Americans are
quite as skillful. It is to be hoped that this
kind of warfare need never be repeated, but
if it is and with this record setting the ex-
ample. we may be sure Americans will do
their full share OF it.
