VOTE jim CROW ENDED
BY ALABAMA AS new
BARRIER IS PUSHED

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 16
(ANP). = One barrier to Negro
voting was removed here by. the
Alabama Democratic Executive
committee and the creation of an
other was sought as voters were
urged to ratify an amendment to
the state constitution at the next
general election that would limit
the ballot to those who Inter
preted" the constitution to the sat-
isfaction of local election officials.
However, if enough Negroes vote
in the coming general election, the
restrictive measure can be defeated,
party leaders pointed out as they
launched an intensive drive to get
whites to pass the amendment.
Elimination of the white primary
is the result of the supreme court
decision in the Texas case calling
such primaries unconstitutional. A
federal court in Georgia has also
upheld the right of Negroes to vote
in Democratic primaries.
'The federal law prevents our
excluding Negroes from our prim-
aries and we must abide by it," ex-
planned Gessner T. McCorvey of
Mobile, committee chairman. How
ever, he added, "White folks will
run the state laws like they always
have-and always will" Only few
Negroes will vote in the primaries
on May 7 "and they will be more
intelligent Negroes" he said.
The Boswell amendment lists GER
tain qualifications for voting.
Among them is the ability to read,
write and interpret the u. S. con-
stitution. Since local election Off
cials would determine solely wheth-
er a prospective voter passed this
test, few Negroes would be given
the ballot.

WHITE PRIMARIES DEFEATED IN ALABAMA
VETERANS SWAMpING
TU5kEGEE INSTITUTE

TUSKEGEE, Jan. 16 (ANP) =
Veterans seeking admission to
Tuskegee institute are literally
"swamping" the facilities available
here, according to Miss A. E. Cohn,
registrar. Thus far 241 veterans
have been taken in. Housing is the
principal difficulty. Tuskegee has
a record registration of girl stu
dents more than ever before in it's
history. The return of men students
who formerly composed two thirds
Of the school population added to
veterans creates a great problem in
available space.
President Patterson is seeking to
secure temporary governmental
housing and the expectation is that
400 more veterans may be accom-
modated if the collapsible housing
which would accommodate both
married and single veterans is re-
ceived.

BUST OF I. N. CAMPBELL

TUSKEGEE, Jan. 16 (ANP) =
High ranking agricultural officials,
national and state, black and white,
gathered here to honor T. M. Camp
bell, pioneer Negro extension agent.
Formal exercises were held in the
institute chapel during which a bust
of Mr.. Campbell was unveiled and
presented to Tuskegee institute.
These were followed by a banquet
sponsored by the Alabama Negro
County agents association.
Among those who extolled Mr..
Campbell's career were H. H. Will
hanson, assistant director U. S.
Extension service, Washington, D.
c.; P. O. Davis, director, Alabama
State Extension service and DR.. L.
N. Duncan, president OF Auburn
Polytechnic institute who had work
ed with Campbell from the time he
was appointed in 1906 as the first
Negro extension agent in the ma
ton until 1886 when DIR. Duncan
became head of the white state A.
& M. school. Director Williamson,
who brought tribute from the
head of the u. S. Extension service,
DR.. M. L. Wilson, pointed out that
Tom Campbell had been on the pay
roll of the government longer than
any other personNin the far flung
extension service. He called him the
"dean of 10000 county extension
agents in 48 states

RE-ENLISTS IN ARMY after
MORE THAN THIRTY
YEARS OF SERVICE

FORT RILEY, Kansas, Jan. 10
An old timer paid a visit to Fort
Riley. He is Sgt. Nathon Pruitt,
veteran of more than 80 years army
service who has seen action in two
world wars and gained the acquaint-
ance and friendship of many prom
inent military figures, including the
late Gen. George S. Patton and Gen.
Ben Lear.
Sgt. Pruitt, whose home is in
Junction City, Kansas, has just end
ed 80 day re-enlistment Through
and was enroute to Fort Leaven-
worth, and re-assignment, when he
stopped off at Fort Riley to view the
surroundings he remembers from
serving here with the 9th Cavalry
for 10 years. 1t was with the 9th
that he became acquainted with
Gen. Patton, then a Colonel, for
whom the Sergeant has nothing but
praise.
CAS- man and as a soldier, Gen.
Patton was one of the greatest the
army has ever seen," he remarked
'He was truly an enlisted mans
friend"
Sgt. Pruitt says he has enjoyed
every minute of his stay in the serv-
ice, from the time his army career
began back in 1910, until the pres
ent. He is eligible for retirement but
says he cant see anything wrong
with the army" and plans to stay "a
while longer"
His decorations include, for three
years service overseas during World
War II, the ETO Ribbon with four
battle stars and an invasion arrow
head, a Distinguished Unit Badge, a
Bronze Star Medal, the American
defense and Theater Ribbons, the
Good Conduct and the Victory Rib
bons. For two years of overseas
service during the first world war
hold duties, to school, or to other
pursuits, may feel that the card is
no longer of value to them" he said
''In many cases that will not be
true. Many of these persons may re-
turn to covered employment in the
near future, whether they now con-
template that action or not. The
social security card Identifies the
account to which all past wages
earned by the worker in covered
employment have been credited and
to which future wages will be cred
tied. 1t may represent an insurance
policy to dependents of the wage

EXODUS FROM SOUTH
LEADS TO city HOUSING
SHORTAGE, SURVEY REVEALS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 (ANP)
The great Negro exodus from the
south between World War | and
World War II is now bursting the
seams of urban areas above the Ma
son and Dixon line, according to
national survey report here.
One in every four city houses oc-
cupied by whites is substandard,
while two out of every three occu-
pied by non-whites are substandard,
the report discloses. "Boxtown,"
Negro section in the southeastern
part of this city, looks like the old
shantytowns of the depression per-
L iod.
At the end of World War | Ne
groes concentrated in restricted
areas in the oldest and most deter
iorated areas in cities such as Phila-
delphia, East st. Louis, Chicago,
Detroit and New York,
But World War II, with it's new
migration Of Negroes from all parts
of the south, is responsible for
bursting of the seams in the cities.
No longer do all of New York s
Negroes live in Harlem. They are
now in Washington Heights, the
Bronx, Williamsbridge, overflowing
into the adjacent towns of Mount
Vernon, New Rochelle and Yonkers.
Across the river, their numbers
in Brooklyn have increased and
large numbers live in Jamaica, Cor
ona and other sections of Long
Island.
There is little room for expansion
in these cities, especially in New
| York.
In Chicago, where 80 per cent of
the city is covered by restrictive
covenants, Negroes are compelled
to live on the crowded South Side,
where $50, 900 persons live in prop
critics designed to accommodate less
than 10000.
Negroes form about 20 per cent
of.the total population of Baltimore,
yet they occupy only about two per
cent of the residential district.
Since thousands of Negroes mi
grated to San Francisco, it has be-
come restrictive covenant" consci-
Gus. Before the war, Negroes lived
pretty much where they pleased and
where they could buy. New lines are
drawn tightly and prescribed areas
are designated for Negro homes.
Los Angeles Little Tokyo" a
former Japanese settlement, has
been turned over to Negroes. More
than 10000 persons are crammed
into an area formerly occupied by
1850.

The manner in which a house

Easily Installed
Roller Screens Are
Placed From Inside
By HiIson Munsey
BY HiIson Munsey

1t is not too early to think about
preparing the window screens for
spring. One type now available has
many new advantages. They are
fitted on the inside of the window
making it safe and easy to put them
in place and remove them in the
winter.
They are simple to install. Being
flexible, they can be rolled up like a
window shade. This screening Is
held by top and bottom rails made
OF bronze. No side frames are
needed. Each of the rails are held
by two screws. When the screws are
installed the screen is snapped in
place. On the bottom rail are two
slides which, when pulled outward,
tighten the screen onto the window
frame. There is no danger of insects
getting into the room.
If the screen cloth is damaged at
any time it can be replaced easily.
A metal slide holding the cloth on
the rail is removed and the new
cloth put in place. That can be done
in a few minutes without going out
of the room
When the time comes to take them
down in the fall, these screens can
be unlocked, rolled up to occupy a
space no larger than window shade
and stored in closet. Before stor-
ing them it is advisable to give them
a thorough cleaning so that they
will be ready for the following year.
Their f1exibility makes that simple
matter. They can be washed in a
space as small as a laundry tub If
necessary, and they will not rust
because they are made of bronze
throughout. The ease with which
the screens can be removed makes
window washing simple matter as
we'll. ...
AS these screens are inside the
room, there is little danger that rain
will oxidize the metal and cause
green streaks on the walls. This also
the need for vanishing
the metal parts and the screening,

examples of good decorating are
found where one color, in various
shades, has been carried out through
living room, dining room, halls and
bedrooms. It is not necessarily
monotonous if it is done with
thought. 1t has the advantage of
adding q feeling Of space to the
interior of the house, no matter
how small 1t may actually be, and
there is little chance of any one
making a very bad error in their
color scheme.
There are few basic rules cover
ing interior decorating which are
well known to the profession and
which are used to create certain
effects. They can be applied with
good effect by the amateur decora-
tor. If you want to make a ceiling
appear higher, you stress the vertical
lines Of the room. In other words,
you see that the wallpaper design
has lines that run from floor to
ceiling, and when you arrange pic
lures you see that they are one
above the other instead of being
one alongside of the other.
On the other hand, when you want
to create an effect of spaciousness
in small room, you see that lines
are horizontal. and you stress the
lines that are running along with

.15-Point Program on
Veterans Housinq

Robert j. Lancraft, executive sec
retary Of the Alexandria, Arlington
Fairfax Real Estate Board, last night
submitted 15-point program for the
two-year period of the Veterans
Emergency Housing Program.
Speaking before $50 members of
the board at the annual spring
dinner in the Washington Golf and
Country Club, Mr.. Lancraft proposed
as one point that a three-month
course in brokerage procedure be
conducted.
Other suggestions included ap-
pointment of an appraisal committee
to aid the property owner, establish
ment of library of real estate in
formation for members, close CO.
operation with the Virginia Real
Estate Commission to check license
petitions and assist the commission
with broker statesmen tests and for
mutation and display of local code
of ethics.
Mr.. Lancraft also proposed that
"factual surveys" be conducted of
the Northern Virginia area to create
homes preference for Virginia real
estate and survey of industrial
opportunities.
Another proposal urged civic ad-
vancement program, including es-
tablishment of school for volunteer
flremen and recommendations for
modernization projects in CONNER
cial areas.
In charge of the program was
Thomas ]. Broyhill. Miss Eleanor

Leaving House Vacant.

Leaving mouse vacant.
Q. We are planning to be away
for three months this winter. Please
repeat the information you gave
some time ago on the steps to take
when closing a house.
A. A plumber should drain all
pipes. forcing all water out of bends,
elbows and low spots in pipes with
compressed air. Traps and floor
drains must be filled with a non-
freezing and non-evaporating liquid,
such as the preparation used in
automobile radiators for winter
driving. Liquids in bottles that
might freeze should be disposed Of,
also oily rags, matches, benzine or
gasoline. Gas and electricity should
be shut of by the utility company
and the door Of the refrigerator left
open. Tree branches that overhang
the roof should be cut off to prevent
squirrel invasion. and the chimney
top should be covered with half
inch wire netting or a box securely
fastened on to keep the birds out of
the chimney. Carpets and woolens
should be mothproofed and stored
away from mice. Furniture and beds
should have generous sprinkling of
moth flakes. An isolated house
should have lower windows protected
with stout shutters. Police should
be notified, and pet dogs and cats
should not be allowed to stray off
at the moment of departure.
