continue thinking of him or take
my husband back again?
Ans: The soldier admired you
but had there been deep affec-
ton he would have expressed his
feeling for you before leaving Con-
sequently, put him out of your
mind. Your husband didn't find
philandering as attractive and ro-
mantle as he thought it would be
and now he pines for his old place
with you. But make him prove
that he has had his fill of running
around. Put him on probation
for a few months and let him con-
vince you beyond a doubt that he
is sincere and can resist the wiles
of other women.
r. H. - My husband is raring
to make a change. We own two
lots here and we have been Of
fered a thousand dollars apiece
for them. That is much more than
we paid several years ago. Nv
husband wants to move back where
my father lives as he is getting old
and needs me to care for him.
Should we sell out here like we
plan?
Ans: Actually it is better time
to sell than it is to buy and since
you intend to live in your fathers
home, it should prove very prof
table deal for you. Your husband
and father are very congenial and
you two can make his life pleas
ant and happy by going there to
live.

MIA Charges Dual Role Played
By Supreme Court In Housing Bias
Says Covenants Not
Squarely Upheld,
But Given Comfort

WASHINGTON - CAMP - "A
dual role has been played by the
u. S. Supreme Court here = the
housing segregation of Negroes,
recent issues of the National Bar
associations journal charged. de-
claring that "the Supreme Court
of the United States has never
souarelv upheld the covenants, but
the court has given aid and COM
fort to them"
While ruling against state and
municipal legislation to segregate
Negroes to certain parts of city,
the Supreme Court was charged
with aiding in the creation OF
segregated residential areas by
sanctioning private restrictive COW
enants. Attempted segregation.le
islation was outlawed by the U. S.
court in 1917 in the case of Buch-
anan VS.. Marley of Louisville, but
it indirectly approved racial re
strictive covenants in the case of
Corrigan VS.. Buckley here in 1926.
ENTER AGREEMENT
Local white property owners had
entered into a restrictive covenant
against selling property to Ne
groes, and one had later agreed to
sell land included in the covenant
to a Negro. Another party of It'd:
restrictive contract brought suit to
enioin the conveyance. The injunc-
ton was granted and this judg-
ment was upheld by the court of
appeals of the District of Column
bia. The case was then appealed to
the supreme court, where the APP
peal was dismissed "for want of
jurisdiction" which automatically
blocked the sale Of the property
to the Negro buyer.
eff the Supreme Court forbids
states or their municipalities by
legislation to restrict certain parts
of city to specified races" MIA s

should not permit individuals to
do it by contract which the courts

Freeze Is Defeated

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The cam
paign of southern cotton planters

Medics BACKING
Truman 5 Natl
Health Measure
Association Firm
In Belief Health
Would Be Improved

WASHINGTON - CAMP =
Nationwide endorsement of lPresl-
dent Truman's National Health
act. interpreted in the Wagner
Murray Dingell Senate bill. ioob;,
came last week from the National
Medical Association, representing
more than $500 of the country,s
1000 Negro doctors, along with
personal endorsements by prom
nent doctors all over the nation.
The NMA's current position on
a national health measure, fire.
ouently termed "socialized" medi-
cine. marks a drastic change of its
position from several years ago
before the leadership changed.
NINA had been the target of bit
ter criticism following the CON
servative policies of the white
American Medical Association on
progressive issues, including so
cialized" medicine. DR.. E. |, Robin
son. president of NINA, told the
senate committee on education and
labor last week his organizations
position.
FIRM IN BELIEF
"The National Medical Associa-
ton IS firm in it's belief that the
various sections of the. bill, if put
into operation, would help to inn
prove the health of the nation as
a whole and particularly the health
of individuals in the low socio-eco-
nomic level which includes large
section of the Negro population"
he said.
The NINA. composed entirely of
Negro physicians, is particularly
interested in the welfare of Negro
people, the statement declared, and
listed six Negro health problems
that will be ameliorated by pas
sage of the Wagner-Murray-Din
CELL bill. The statement pointed out
that the death rate of Negroes is
approximately 30 TO 40 per cent
higher than that of the white pop
ulation and his average expectation
of ''life is 10 to II years shorter
than that of his white neighbor. +"

for you to live quietly as you are
doing until after the baby gets

He feels a little rebellious about
such hasty wedding but once he
gets back to camp and has time to

realize that you are not to be

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

In this period of pending infla- ton and atomic diplomacy certain truths for which we fought and to which American democracy is dedi- cated seem to have sunk into the background. For this reason I off, fer a reminder of the promises" of America, the Economic Bill of Rights laid down by President Roosevelt. Its meaning should be burned into the heart and soul of every legislator in America.
 In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evi- dent. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights un- der which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all-regardless of station, race, or creed.
 The right to useful and re- munerative job in the industries, or shops or farms or mines of the na- ton;
 The right to earn enough to pro- vide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
 The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family decent living;
 The right of every businessman large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home and abroad;
 The right of every family to decent home;
 The right to adequate medical care and opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
 The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident and unemplOy- ment;
 The right to good education.
 This is Americas economic Bible. In it's implementation lie the future achievement of the sons and daugh- ters of America. In its downfall lies our defeat. The responsibility is with us, the American people.

 "A program for world domination calls for worldwide power and in- fluence over those who produce" !" he went on. "This so-caNed Fedora ton of World Labor could well be very efficient instrument for world policy through the use of the fifth column methods which Hitler used in some countries with great effect.
 Needless to say, no proof of membership figures is required However, an analysis of the figures claimed, on which voting strength is of course determined, shows that Soviet Russia and the countries 1t controls have about 70 per cent of the votes"
