Miss Horne turned down the lead
in 'St. Louis Woman" last year
thereby needing the pleas of her
numerous fans throughout the
country, many of whom felt the
role unsuited to her, there were
reports that MGM owned a sub
stantial interest in the musical and
was .displeased over her refusal
to play the principal role.
MGM never had any financial
interest in "St. Louis Woman"
Lena said. Arthur Freed, who was
her manager, was financially in
terested in the show. So far as
MGM was concerned, however, it
would have filmed the show if
Lena had been starred in it. Other
than that it had no interest.

CONGRESS PASSES CAPITAL
5LUM CLEARANCE BILL

WASHINGTON, July 81 (ANP)
Congress passed and sent to the
White House a S20,000,000 slum
clearance bill which was generally
viewed as paving the way for elm
ination of the capitals blighted
areas but doing little toward solv-
ing the acute housing problem of
the city's colored residents.
The bill, which has been kicked
around in the house and senate for
the past two years, provides for
the creation of district redevelop-
ment land agency which is author
lied to spend S2O,0OO,000 over the
next 10 years for elimination of
substandard housing in the dis
trict.
Although the bill was passed by
the senate nine months ago, the
final furry of activity which re-
suited in its passage began on Mon
day when the house adopted a ver-
sion which differed from that of
the senate only in the definition
of low cost housing which deter
mines the degree of participation
in the rebuilding program by pub
lie housing agencies.
Authorities on housing in the
nations capital declared that the
bill can do little toward meeting
the housing needs of an extremely
high percentage of the city's col
ored residents since many Of them
have incomes which make them in
eligible for low rent public housing
which may be constructed under
the measure but cannot be reason
ably expected to pay the prevail
ing rentals charged by private
owners.
The bill was also attacked for
it's failure to contain provisions
which would give some assurance
that it will not be used as means
of Extending and perpetuating"
the "ghetto system" which in the
past has resulted in the confine-
predetermined areas Of the city.

CHARACTERS CHARM CHICAGO
IN THEATER APPEARANCE

CHICAGO, July 80 (ANP)-The
Charioteers visited Chicago for
their first theater appearance here
and scored tremendous success.
Appearing at the Chicago theater,
finest movie-vaudeville house in the
downtown district, and coming di-
rectly from Hollywood and Bing
Crosby's radio shows, the four
young collegians have demonstrated
that they are one of the worlds best
singing groups.
Meeting at Wilberforce univer-
sity where they were students, the
Charioteers sang together at first
for fun. They entered an all-Ohio
state quartet contest in which they
won first prize. A professional ca
reer followed which took them to
Broadway where they became fix
ture in the musical, "Hellzapoppin,"
in which they were featured for four
and half years.

LENA HORNE NOT TO DO
LUSETRATA; TO STAY
IN MOVIES

HOLLYWOOD, July 81 CAMP
Lena Horne, glamourous moving
picture star, set a lot of rumors
at rest this weekend. In the first
place she is doing quite all right
for herself, is happy in her work
and has no intention of making
any immediate change in it. Con-
trary to a story in variety" the
theatrical publication which re-
ported that she was about to shake
the dust of Hollywood off her
pretty feet, deserting the picture
metropolis for Broadway, Miss
Horne said that nothing was far
ther from the truth than were
those rumors.
Miss Horne said she positively
had not signed to do 'LuSistrata"
on Broadway. Max Jelin, Broad
way producer, had given the i'm
preston that Miss Horne and sew
eral principals in the late "St.
Louis Woman" were as good as
signed for the show. The beautiful
Lena confided that her contract
with Metro Goldwyn Mayer had
two years to run and that her
relationship with her studio was
most satisfactory. She said that the
personal appearances which she
made from time to time were all
made with the sanction of MGM
and occasionally under their di-
rection.
Miss Horne has just returned from
a preview Of her latest film, "Till
the Clouds Roll By" Her next pic
ture, she said, will be "The Pirate"
1t is to be shot soon and Lena has
a featured part in it.
The fact that Miss Horne has
bought a lovely home in Jamaica,
Long Island, just outside New
York City, had led to reports that
she was planning to return east
at an early date. 1t is true, Miss
Horne said, that she had purchased
a permanent home in Jamaica. She
was sending her children there to
live because she preferred to have
them attend the schools in that
area where she felt greater liberal
ity existed. However, she still re-
tains her home in Beverly Hills.

profiteering on meat raises prices
so high that the average American
cannot buy it."
The President said the relaxa-
ton of price controls on meat did
not mean the end of economic
controls in general. He said rent
would have to be controlled for a
long time to come.
Other items consisting of basic
materials and other commodities
of which there is now a grave
shortage, he pointed out, will have
to remain under control until pro-
duction is greatly increased.
Definite Risk
He admitted that there was a
definite risk in removing meat
controls. But he said it was not
as great as it would seem because
production in general is increasing

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA up -
Following is the text OF President
Trurnan's radio address on the
meat shortage:
My fellow countrymen:
I wish to report to you this even
ing on a subject which I am sure
has concerned you as much as II
has me-the meat shortage and
DUR general sterilization program.
I recognize the hardship that
many of you have undergone be-
cause of the lack of meat.
I sympathize with the millions
of housewives who have been hard
pressed to provide nourishlng
meals for their families. I SYM
pathize particularly with our thous-
ands of veterans and other pa
tients in hospitals throughout the
country.
l know that our children, as well
as those persons engaged in man
ual labor, need meat in their diet.
Many workers have been thrown
out of work by the meat shortage.
The b~y-products that result from
the lawful slaughter of livestock
are sorely needed. We depend up
on these by-products for insulin and
other necessary medicines. We de-
pend upon them also for hides; and
already some of our shoe factories
are closing and workers are being
laid off for lack of leather.
Questions Asked
Many of us have asked the same
questions: why should there be a
meat shortage when there are
millions of cattle and hogs on the
ranges and farms and in feed lots
in this country? Who are the per-
sons responsible for this seriou
condition? Why doesn't the govern
ment do something about it?
I assure you that those questions
have been the concern of your gov
eminent for many weeks. The real
story is a simple one.
The responsibility rests squarely
on a few men in the congress who,
IN the service of selfish interests,
have been determined for some
time to wreck price controls no
matter what the cost might be to
our people.

Molotov brought UP the German
question at the hour-long council
session, suggesting that the final
work on the pact be done in
Europe. He was supported by
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin.
The informant quoted U. S. Sec
rotary of State James F. Byrnes
as saying that he would not go to
Europe for a simple discussion OF
procedure on Germany, but that he
was willing to make the trip for
a full-fledged conference.
French Premier Georges Bidault
was quoted as having told his col
leagues that he would not be in
New York for the council session,
and that France could not agree
to any fundamental discussion of
German problems unless she were
properly represented.
Molotov's attack on the work of
the conference was delivered at
a plenary session on the W. of
the adjournment of the 21-nation
parley. The issues he raised sug-
gested a possible showdown be-
tween the East and the West at

gates that they had failed to reach
satisfactory accords on their II

He took the floor Immediately be-

work on the treaties by approving
the Finnish draft pact.
AS approved, the Finnish treaty
contained a clause calling for
PREPARATIONS payments of $500, 000,-
