10000 ALLEY DWELLERS
TO BE HOMELESS

WASHINGTON, May a (ANP)
Thirty thousand Washington
alley dwellers are again facing evic-
ton from their homes July l, be-
cause of congressional delay in en-
acting slum clearance legislation, it
was learned.
The majority of the occupants of
the alley dwellings are Negroes.
Enforcement of the law making it
an offense punishable by a $500
fine or six months in jail to live in
an alley was put off last year for the
second time by congress at the insti-
cation of Chairman Bilbo. In spon-
soring this amendment last year,
Bilbo said it was the last time he
would make such a concession.
Many of the house are nearly SO
years or more old. Originally built
as servants quarters for the white
families which lived in magnificent
homes in front, they were little
more than shells, two rooms down
stairs and two rooms upstairs.
Some of these alleys are in the heart
of the Negro residential district,
one of the most notable being Tenn
perance court, which is between
18th and 18th streets and You and
T streets. Some so or go families
live in this one court. Others are
found all over the city, where they
are little communities breeding
filth, dirt, disease and crime, since
police and sanitary officers seldom
find their way into these hidden re-
cesses.
Nonresident owners have made
huge profits on these rentals since
repairs and improvements are
never made. Most of the tenants
raise families in these qualid sur
roundings and live their entire lives
within the restricted areas.

MAJOR Holcomb pointed out that
through effective use of these price

He listed three methods of which
effective use" of the list can be
made:
l. Look for the lists when you buy
meat.
2. If you don't see them, ask your
meat dealer to display them where
you can see them.
3. Check the prices you pay with
those shown on the price lists.

New Controls For Slaughterers

New Controls For Sluughterers
Glass II slaughterers who may
have lost or misplaced the slaughter
permits issued them by OPA were
reminded today by OPA district
director that they have until May
Is . apply for duplicate from
their district office. After this date
such slaughterers are not permitted
to continue operations without a
permit showing their quotas, ne
added.
Under the Joint slaughter control
program by the Department OF Agrl-
culture and OPA now in effect,
slaughterers are permitted to kill as
many cattle and calves during any
monthly period as they did for the
same time in 1914, Major Holcomt
explained, but will be restricted to
80 per cent of the 1914 hog salugh-
! ter.
| Major Holcomb pointed out that
all classes of sleughterers subject to
quota restrictions are required to
keep C. 1plete records OF their
slaughtering operations. Federally
inspected plants are required to re-
port to the Department of Agricul-
ture, while every non-federally in
spected plant ~ther than farm
slaughterers must, within 10 days
after the end of each quota period,
file report with the CoA district
office.
Class II slaughterers were defined
by Major Holcomb as those who
slaughter, or have custom slaughter
ed, calves, cattle, or hogs in non
federally inspected plants. Class III
slaughterers, farmers who sell or
transfer no more than 5000 pounds
of meat per year from their own
livestock.

horseman to pay back winnings of
$147.50 gathered in races at Rome,
Ca, Columbus, Ca, and Atlanta,
Ga. The monies will be returned
to the proper owners by the United

An additional tax of $50 was levi
ed against WadJey, a dairy pro-

Wadley with ringing" Ray Hamil-
ton under the name Of Tippecanoe.
The board Of review says if the

the unlawful earnings returned,
Wadley will be back in good stand
ing in 1947.
Wadley said he believed he was
racing Tippecanoe, a 13-year-old
gelding about the same age as that

predicted the greatest season in
history in 1916.
OrIo Robertson, Garden City,
L. l., former Associated Press
sports editor, gave talk on some
Of the things he is to recommend
