new OWNERS OF LARGE
APARTMENT BUILDING DECLINE
TO GUST WHITES

NEW YORK, Sept. 18 (ANP)-
The new owners of the 73-apart-
ment Riverside Drive building here
will not GUST the present white ten
ants from their homes.
Goode Harvey, a representative
of the firm that negotiated the sale
of the building to the 565 Riverside
Drive corporation, revealed that no
attempt will be made to disturb the
present tenants. In general, future
vacancies will be filled only with a
view of selecting the most desirable
tenants, he said.
There is probability that no ra-
cial discrimination will be permit
ted against tenants he revealed, but
emphasized that the possibility of
whites and Negroes OCCUPYING the
building together depends upon the
present tenants and future appli-
cants. He repeatedly emphasized
the probability that no racial dis
elimination will be made against
whites nor Negroes.
The modern 73-apartment build
ing, which occupies a 100 by 120
plot by the Hudson river, was pur-
chased recently by the 565 River
side Drive corporation for report
ed S385,000. DR.. Charles N. Ford,
a dentist and prominent insurance
man, is head of the corporation that
made the purchase. About S95, 900,
or one fourth of the purchase price,
is said to have been made as the in
itial payment.

other, pledged the organization to
urge that an engineer or architect

an amendment of the association S

age an influx of new members.
Hilyard R. Robinson, who was
the guest speaker at the annual
banquet, told of his experiences in
Liberia and of the farseeing pro-
gram that government has adopted
for the economic development of
the country. Such reforms will lead
to Monrovia's Capital of the Afri-
can republic) becoming the largest
port on the western coast. He also
told of the plans being made for the
centennial celebration scheduled
for 1947 through 1949 and of the
democratic reforms which already
have been effected.
The panel discussion of civic and
industrial reconversion in the post
war world was lead by Charles
Duke. Mr.. Holland spoke of the ur-
gent need for redefining the term

the more exacting demands of the
future as compared with these
which sufficed during the war
emergency. He stressed the impor-
tance of building upon and adding
to those newly-acquired skills
which in most cases, have of neces-
sity been limited.

Army Pattern
For Discharge
Is Announced
y. S. Bases Plan On Length
And Toughness Of
Service :
Score card for computing eli
gibility for discharge may be
found on page seven.

WASHINGTON, May TO- Up -
Soldiers who have rolled up a
point score of 85-based on length
and toughness of service and faith
erhood - are eligible for release,
the War Department disclosed to-
day.
Approximately 100000 men, in.
Guiding $780, in Europe and 49,
600 in the Pacific area, will be
released during the next u
months under the plan.
This number may be stepped
higher by maintaining draft calls
above actual replacement needs.
Another 100000 men also are
scheduled to be released from
service because of physical dis
ability, age, or other factors.
Critical scores for the various
forces - air, ground, service and
WACs-have not yet been set but
to avoid any delay in demobiliza-
ton, the Army has fixed the inter-
i'm score Of ;85 "a for WACso- as
the minimum for discharge. These
may be lowered later.
Those who have built up the re-
qcired score are eligible for re-
lease now and some of them will
move to separation centers within
week. However, some men with
the required score may be retain
ed because the rmy needs their
special skills and no replacement
is Immediately available. Officials
said every possible step would be
taken to obtain requirements for
such men.
In the case of enlisted men who
are retained because they are
deemed necessary it was empha-
sized that military necessity
does not mean military convent
ence." The decision of a company
or unit commander to retain a
man will be subject to higher re-
view. However, in the case of Of
ficers, the rating score will be sec
ondary to needs Of the Army and
even those officers declared sur
plus overseas may still be kept
on duty by commanders Of the
Army ground, air or service
forces.
Secretary of War Stimson, in an
nouncing the plan, said that it
probably would not please every
one, but that the Army considered
it to be the fairest and best sys-
tenn that could be devised to meet
the views of soldiers themselves.
The plan was adopted only after
a poll showed that 80 per cent of
the men interviewed favored such
plan, the Army reported.

"Rioting began spontaneously in
Prague about midday Saturday.
Our men tore down German in

The rioting was premature, but
it grew rapidly and some promi-

"The biggest question was arms.
We didn't have any weapons and
we had to get them by disarming
Germans. Czech police joined us,
and with our pistols and rifles
we attacked and captured some
