In memory of our dear mother,

This date recalls sad memories,
Seems twice as long to us.
Only God knows how we miss you
You meant so much to US
Tho your smile is gone forever
And your face we cannot touch
We still have sweet memories
Of you we loved so much.
Sadly missed by

Following the path charted by
Broome, who yesterday sent a
telegram to the President calling
for the dismissal of Wyatt, the
tenants adopted a resolution call
ing for a petition to the chief
executive demanding that the
Housing administrator be removed.
They also voted to request that the
order by Wyatt be revoked by MI.
Truman.
H. R. Emory, executive direc-
tor Of the City Housing Authority,
explained the rules governing the
sale of surplus property as formu-
lated by Congress. He pointed out
that federal, state and county
agencies had priority for the pur-
chase of surplus property and said
that should these agencies decline
the priority, then veterans were
next in line.
Emory said safeguards for the
tenants rested on the fact that oc-
cupants of the housing units had
until December 81, 1947, to vacate,
as well as the possibility that ne
gotiations between any group and
the War Assets Administration, the
agency handling surplus property
disposal, might not effect a pur-
chase settlement. He pointed out
that the time for the acceptance
of a priority was set at 60 days.
After this length of time the pri-
GRITTY may be recalled, he added.
The assemblage also voted to
inform U. S. Senators Clyde R..
