department, the booklet is being
distributed through house-to-house

The publication sets forth in SIM

"a large proportion of the Ne

NEGRO film STARS
CREDITED IN Reissue
OF LIMITATION
OF LIFE" film

NEW YORK, Aug. 9 (ANP)-
The names of Misses Louise Beav-
ers and Fredi Washington have
been credited by Universal in the
reissue of Imitation of Life"
which is currently showing at the
Republic here.
Naming of the two Negro film
stars in the billing of the picture,
made in 1884, followed heated at
tack on the film by the Peoples
Voice, a local weekly, which urged
Negroes not to patronize the movie.
Many Negroes have publicly stated
their dislike of limitation of Life"
When the picture was released
in 1884, neither Miss Beavers nor
Miss Washington, who writes a
column for Peoples Voice, was in
cluded in the credits, apparently be-
cause Universal was not obligated
to list them in the main title.
Universal used the original mega
tive rather than a new main title
of credits in re-issuing the film but
has decided to rush a new load title
which will include Miss Beavers
and Miss Washington in the cred

new BILL WOULD REVIVE
SLUM CLEARANCE

|
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (ANP)
"A resumption of slum clearance
programs and the construction of
low-rent housing, the first since
the outbreak of the war, is con-
templated in legislation introduced
by Sens. Robert F. Wagner of New
York and Allen j. Ellender of
Louisiana.
Their bill calls for the construc-
tion of 100000 dwelling units a
year for at least the first five years
after the war. Although the gov
ernment's subsidy outlay is esti-
mated not to exceed $133 million
year, the expectation is that the
spending of some 81 million would
be stimulated through private en-
terprise.
The desire of the sponsors of
this legislation is that there should
be a minimum of federal interfer-
ence. They are, however, interested
in the establishment of a national
policy on housing with private in
terests carrying the ball insofar as
possible.
The bill envisions four types of
housing:
Clearance and redevelopment of
city slum areas for middle and up
per income groups. Federal aid
would be used to write down excess
sive land costs, but local interests
would do the rest.
Construction of rental housing
for lower-income groups with funds
of insurance companies and other
institutions which otherwise would
go into government bonds.
Loans and contributions for ru-
raj housing.
The Wagner -Ellender measure
also intends to set up research pro-
grams, aids to home builders and
to urban redevlopment groups.
Private enterprise shall be en-
couraged to serve as large a part
of the total housing needs as it can
without governmental assistance"
the statement of policy says. "Gov-
ernmental assistance to enable pri-
vate enterprise to serve more of |
the total need, by serving larger
and lower segments Of the market |
for housing, shall be utilized where
feasible.
"Where other forms of govern
aid are provided Tin accord
with applicable law to clear slums
and provide adequate housing for
groups with incomes so low that |
hey cannot otherwise be served,
such aid shall be extended to those |
ocalities which assume community |

their own needs cannot be

said that he will have sev-
eral firemen trained i'm the
operation of the lung. and
whenever a call is received
from anywhere in the city
one or more firemen will re-
spond with it to render first
aid.
Mr.. CarbOnncl stated tha
he had intended to raise the
money for the lung by Civ
