of "a quarts Of canned peaches, as
the recipe said. This is my first
try and I am afraid I will never

COMMENT ON PLANTS.
from Mrs. W. J. w., Washington
Because of the interest readers of
the RICH have shown lately in Afri-
can violets I'd like to add a con-
tribution. This summer I did bit
Of research on African violets and
the latter part of May planted some
rather weary plants I'd had in an
apartment all winter in shady
spot outdoors where there was
plenty of leaf mold and soil would
y stay moist even in dry weather.
After being out about a month they
took a decided new lease on life
and started blooming-leaves turned
deep rich green. They were out
during all the deluge of July and
liked it. They are still out and
thriving Since African violets are
supposed to be extremely allergic
to water on their leaves what Is the
answer? My idea is that water on
the leaves-when the plant is also
exposed to direct sunlight-does not
work. These plants have plenty Of
light but no sun.
The recent suggestion that Afri-
can violet plants be sent to veterans
hospitals I've filed away, and when
some leaves I've started begin to
bloom that is where they will 60.
Are there any more suggestions
along that line to bring a bit Of
cheer and interest into the lives
of these boys who have done so
much? Things that person who
Is not too well themselves might
participate in.

GEN. EISENHOWER PRAISES
NEGRO SOLDIERS IN farewell

PARIS, June 18.-(ANP)-Gen-
eral Of the Army Dwight d. Eisen-
hover praised the contribution of
Negro soldiers to final victory in
Europe during his farewell address
to accredited war correspondents.
The general explained that he
does not differentiate between SOL
diers as to whether they are Allied,
Negro or white.
'To me soldier is soldier.
"The Negro soldiers in the Euro
pean theater of operations have per-
formed equally as good as other SOL
diers," he continued. ''They have
done their job"
He recalled how 10000 Negro SOL
diers volunteered for combat duty
last November, at what he called
''the most critical period of the
war;"
'My senior officers have reported
to me that their work was excel
lent" he stated. From all of my
commanders, have received an ad-
mirable account of their magnifi-
cent spirit and high efficiency"
He thanked the war correspond
ents for their contribution to final
victory in Europe and said they had
done an equally important job as
himself.

SIX COMMISSIONS FORMED
In CITY OF CHICAGO TO
COMBAT RACE HATRED

CHICAGO, June lS.-(ANP)-
Six commissions were formed dur
ing the third session of the Chicago
Conference on Home Front unity,
sponsored by the Mayors Commit
tee on Race Relations, to deal with
racial problems.
The commissions will handle en-
ployment, housing, education, law
and order, recreation, health and
welfare. The principles of the COM
missions were explained by Thomas
H. Wright executive director Of the
Mayors committee.
'There shall be equality Of oppor-
tunity for employment" he said,
including the opportunity to par
ticipate in in-plant upgrading on the
basis of skill, ability and aptitude.
Those opportunities shall be open
in all industries, trades and serv-
ices without regard to race, color,
creed or national origin.
"Our aim is to assure the rights
of all citizens to life, liberty and
property without any qualifications
whatsoever. There must be an abso-
lutte opportunity to obtain living
space anywhere person can to buy
or rent.
''The public schools Of Chicago
should provide adequate and equal
schooling for all of Chicago's chill
dren. Any form of segregation of
schools or teaching personnel be-
cause of race, color or creed is un-
sound public policy in democratic
society.
Running from top to bottom and
permeating all instruction in our
public and private schools should be
a program of intercultural under
standing"
The six commissions will be
drawn from members of the con-
ference on home front unity and
will have the power to conduct pub
lie hearings on racial problems.

Dayton Is Hit
Second Time
ByF|ash Flood

Thousands of dollars in damage
to flooded Easements resulted yes
terday from Dayton's second flash
flood in "a hours. Emergency crews
labored into the night pumping the
city's sewers free of flood waters.
Nearly eight times the normal
amount Of rainfall cascaded into
the sewer system during the last
two days, flooded streets all over
the city and backed into Easements
in many sectors, residents reported
to the municipal division Of sewers.
James H. Bowling, division SUI
perintendent, reported .workmen
were called into action Immediately
after the deluge of complaints be-
gan. More than 80 telephone calls
were received at the division within
a few minutes reporting flooded
Easements.
Many of the city's principal
thoroughfares were blockaded by
water and hundreds of cars were
stalled as water got into operating
parts.
Heaviest of the flood waters
were concentrated at several "sore
spots" in the city's drainage sys-
tenn including Hoover and Anna
streets, Nassau and st. Paul streets
Germantown and Clements streets,
Second and Clemmer streets, the
500 block on West Second street
and at least one sector of Far Hills
avenue.
Elsewhere in Miami valley, the
two days of rainfall is expected to
retard developments of crops to a
point later than in recent years.
Flood-swollen creeks inundated
lowlands throughout the area, with
the possibility that extensive crop
damage would result if additional
rains fall before excess moisture in
the soil can be carried away.

Bates And Shishkin Tell How To Do It

Demands of organized labor for a ''greatly expanded post war housing program to create jobs and provide de cent living for all," were voiced in Washington this week by the AFL before the Senate subcommittee on post war housing.
 Leading a doublebarrelled at tack against the threat of a post war depression, Chairman Harry C. Bates and Sec. Boris Shishkin of the AFL Housing Committee submitted a detailed 10 year pro- gram for the construction of 15,OOO,OO0 homes, describing it as the minimum program for meeting accumulated demands"
 WILL HELP ALL
 Appearing before the committee as chief housing spokesman for the AFL, Bates called for :.'com- prehensive, unified postwar hous- ing program designed to serve a universal housing market in which families of all incomes can par ticipate." He described the AFL housing plan as ''the least expen- sive, the most productive and the most powerful generator of post war employment"
 Shishkin, whose testimony followed that of Bates, declared that the AFL program "can be brought into high gear within five years after the cessa- tion of hostilities when it would yield nearly two and half million jobs at the construction site alone. The full operation of the program would bring employment to six and a half million workers directly engaged in the production and handling of build ing materials as well as the building itself"
 He pointed out that the 'scOn- structiOn of the minimum of one and half million units a year would also create vast market in household equipment, appliances and home furnishings sufficient to yield each year at least ten million full-time jobs directly dependent on the provision of such new hous- ing"
 Advancing the CIO program for postwar housing, President R. J. Thomas of the United Auto Workers and chairman of the CIO Housing Committee said the production goal in housing must harness new and ever increasing productivity of American workers to provide everybody with constantly improving places in which to live"
 To create 60 million postwar jobs, Thomas said, there must be Is mil lion more jobs than there were in 1o40. At this rate of increase the building industry would have to pro- vide two million more jobs in the postwar period than it did in 1o4O," giving minimum job budget for the industry of 6a million construction workers.
 1O-POINT PROGRAM
 Included in AFL. ten-point pro- gram submitted by Bates are the fol- lowing major proposals:
 l. A set of far-reaching measures designed to stimulate, expand and safeguard home ownership, including
