real ESTATE HEAD
Urges FREE MART

CHARLOTTE, March z4.-.-
Won Holt Garrett of Denver, Colo.'
nrasident of the National Assocla-
tion of Real Estate Boards, today
called for the prompt restoration OF
free market, the elimination Oh
.nv form of rent control, and the
lifting of restrictions on building
after the war as a prerequisite
for restoring full business activity,
high employment, and replenlsn-
ment of shortages.
In an address at this afternoons
luncheon meeting of real estate
officials from North Carolina and
South Carolina, Garrett declared
that American businessmen were
doing thir Job under every grow
inc regulation in a controlled econ
onov. "and the controls are getting
tighter
1.-THE big jco is to win the war.
We are pledged unalterably 10
that end. But if American business
and industry is to swing into action
full blast after the war, such con-
trolls as can be abandoned without
iniuring the war effort should be
dropped by the government as
soon as practicable. The prompt
restoration of free market after
the war will do more than any
thing else to create strong busl-
ness activity. jobs, and opportun-
ity," he said. :.
The national president, saying
that "our government should seek
to aid private enterprise, not to
supplant it." Called on business
men to participate more activity
in local, state and national affairs.
1T is just as much a part of their
lob to help shape political activity
as it is to create production and
employment he asserted.
Citing estimates that the coun'
try needs million homes year
for ten years after the war, Gar
rett said that such a program would
be possible only if unnecessary

INHERITS $4,000 FROM DOG
A woman in Philadelphia recent
" inherited over $4,000 from a
dog. It happened this way: Three
years ago the dogs former owner
died and left a will disposing Of
about $1,000. All of it was left to
his dog with the understanding that
it was to be used for his care and
keep. After inheritance taxes,
which even dogs have to pay, and
deducting the cost Of the animals
living expenses for almost three
years, there was still more than
5000 left when the dog died. The
woman was a close relative Of the
dogs former owner and the court
ruled that the dogs estate should
be given to her.
An interesting court case might
have developed if the dog had been
canine married. and the other
dogs owner had put in claim
for a widows share OF the estate.
Far fetched, maybe, but many a
case had gone to court on less
grounds, and there is chance the
court might rule in favor Of the
dogs widow" 2
A PJIPPY'S EXERCISE
Don't exercise puppies up to five
or six months Of age by taking
them out for regular walks. Instead
allow them to get all the exercise
they need by romping and playing.
A young dog tires easily and put
ting him on lead and walking ten
or twelve city blocks does h m
more harm than good.
Wait until his bones are strong
enough before starting to take him
out on lead. Short walks won't
fdo him any harm but playing with
him on a grassy plot or the living
room floor will be more beneficial
to an eight or ten weeks-old dog.
THE QUESTION BOX
Question: Our dog has just given
birth to a litter of pups. How long
will she nurse them and at what
age can I give them milk from a
saucer?@S. L. c.
Answer: She should nurse her
pups until they are six weeks Of
age. Most pups will lap milk from
a saucer when they are three weeks
of age. After the fourth week they
can get along on such diet il
necessary.
Question: Some one told me they
owned a plum pudding dog. VIVA
kind Of a dog is that?-R. P. G
Answer: Because Of its peculiar
markings the Dalmatian is Otter
referred to as the Plum Pudding
dog. They are also called Coacl
dogs.

GERMANS USE OF WAR DOGS

GERMANS USE Of WAX DOGS
Almost every nation at war to-
day is using dogs against its enc
mics. The more desperate a ma
tons plight, the more desperate
uses they make Of armies. Each
individual soldier is called upon for
greater sacrifice. The same is
true with the war dogs.
In East Prussia when the Ger
mans were endeavoring to stop the
Russians they searched the coun-
tryside for every available dog.
All that could be rounded up were
sent to the front lines. An anti
tank mine was attached to each
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter
during their stay here.
He was graduated from the Unit
ed States Military Academy at
West Point with the class Of 1926.
Just before going overseas one year
ago he was graduated from the
Army and Navy Staff college at
Washington. He wears three rib,
bons, one for the Burma campaign,
one for the China campaign and
one for duty in the american area
but outside continental limits.
And as the interviewer and pho
tographer were saying goodbye tc
him, the Colonel added by way Of
postscript:
IT anyone thinks the war with
Japan is going to end quickly
they may as well forget it. There's
long, hard road ahead before we
lick the Japs."

the building industry were only too
conscious of this
However. since 1899 the cost of
building materials has risen rough
ly 30 percent. Two thirds of this

a half years of war. And SO per-

1t is true that during the last

tainly prices are higher today than
the prospective homebuilder would

AS Mr. Snyder indicated, a heal

duStry is essential to a postwar pro-
gram of abundance. The housing

almost 40 percent of the homes in
the country should be either sub
stantially rebuilt or torn down and
replaced If properly handled, we
can look forward to the building of
between a million and a million and
a half homes each year for at least
ten years after the war.
We can look forward t resident

les to provide Az million jobs. This
would total more than 20 percent
of our peak wartime industrial en-
ployment. Including maintenance,
we can expect the building indus

AN UNJUSTIFIED ATTACK BY
REV. WILLIAM C. HERMAN,
DIECTOR INSTITUTE FOR A
MEXICAN DEMOCRACY. INC.

There is a man in the U. S. SEN
ate named Theodore G.. Bilbo. Re
Gently he opposed passage Of a
Federal Anti-discrimination law.
He tried to prove that enactment of
this legislation meant oppression
for our people and the destruction
of their freedom. He called the
proposed FEC an "un-American,
communistically inspired monstros-
ity." From coast to coast he has
been severely censured-not because
he fought against the FEPC-but
on accoun of the in which
h did it.
For be resorted to'the most cas-
lily recognized brand of fascist tech
nique there is. Having referred to
the proposed law as "un-American
and communistically inspired" he
blamed the Negroes and the Jews as
those responsible for it. If, in
short, there is n way more effec-
tive than any other far arousing
prejudices, hatred, against whole
groups of people in this country,
Senator Bilbo used it. For he DELHI
erately and unjustifiably identified
the Negroes n the Jews with
something that he called un-Ameri-
can and communistic.
If the Senator did not know. he
might have known. that support of
a Federal FEPC cuts across all rae
ial, religious and economic lines.
Not only do Americans who are
Negroes and Jews believe in it. but
Americans who are white and Chris
tian do too-ircluding President
Truman. Anti-discrimination leg
islation finds some of its strongest
friends. its most eloquent advocat-
es, among prominent Protestant
and Catholic clergymen. Are they
un-American and communistic, too?
