Cairo opens on Friday night. The
Club Cairo Ito be located naturally
enough at the Cairo HoteD will be
presenting shows staged, as you al
ready should know, by Harry Anger,
a name recognized as a guarantee
by those who know show business.
Mr.. Anger is both a man Of good
taste and a keen judge of a per-
formers talent. He is, for instance,
the man who had the canny judg-
ment to sign an agents contract
with Peter Lind Hayes when that
young man returned from the war
to become the years comedy SEN
sation. Mr.. Anger also is the man
who spent some nine years here,
up until the time the Earle gave
up its vaudeville policy, staging
those shows, continually presenting
entertainment of high caliber There
is, we can promise you, no one on
the towns night club scene who
can do a better job than Mr.. Anger
when it comes to weaving the var
led talents of a group Of artists
into a lively show.
Further, there is no one else do
ing this sort of thing here right
now who has been provided bud
get like the one Sam Shanker.
the Club Cairo's operator, has set
aside-a sum comparable to those
which Mr.. Anger used to spend
weekly on the EarleS stage shows.
1t has enabled Mr.. Anger to hire
an imposing lineup for the opening
entertainment. headed by Yvette,
the heroine of the Clipper crash
in which Tamara and Roy Rognan
died, who has spent most of the
war years entertaining service men.
Others on the opening program will
be Robert Craig, a singing star ap-
pearing by arrangement with Goth
Century, Fox, for whom he works:
Nip Nelson, comedian; Helene and
Howard. comedy dancers, and the
Club Cairo Lovely Ladies, who most
recently were beautifying things at
New York's Copacabana. Altogether,
this appears to be one of the bright
spots of the future. i

the waitress told him. It's 10:30
and that breakfast menu goes of

said. Can I have tomato juice,
bacon and eggs, toast and coffee?"
He certainly could. And the price
was the same as on the special
menu. He can't figure 1t out.
While his name is before the
meeting we might tell you that Mr.
Weaver, whom you must have seen
in one or another of the go films
he has made, is quite an amusing
addition to the Delmonicos enter
tainment. In fact it's a good show

the Weaver comedy.

Private Home Building
Shows February Increase
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ported today that money spent for
privately financed housing construc-
ton in February totaled SITS, ,000,-
900, or more than eight times
greater than the same month In
1945.
Much of the jump, the bureau
said, reflects an increase in the
number of dwellings being provided,
but some was absorbed by higher
prices.
Total construction expenditures in
the Continental United States were
placed at approximately 1854, ,000, 900
for February, compared with $624,-
900 900 in January.
The bureau reported continued
curtailment in publicly financed
building activity, maintaining the
trend which started last June. The
February figure was $85, ,000, 900, or
only half the amount spent in the
same month last year. The report
stated that last months public con-
struction amount was the lowest for
any month in recent years.

Arkansas Avenue Citizens

Kenneth Armstrong, treasurer OF
the Federation of Citizens Associa-

Avenue Community Association to
support all objectives of the Central
Suffrage Conference, asserting that
1.-The right to vote should not be de-
MED any citizen merely because he

Mr.. Armstrong pointed out that
the District was self-ruled until
1873, when Congress deprived it Of
that right and agreed to pay so pei
cent of the administrative costs OF
the District government. Municipal
self-rule, he declared, would relieve
Congress of the burden" of govern
ing the District, as pointed out by
the Joint Congressional Committee
on Reorganization of Congress.
The association deferred action or
q motion to indorse the suffrage
conferences objectives until after
those opposing can be heard.

ord as favoring return to daylight

Boston, Aug. 9-CUPl-New g Eng land shoe manufacturers today saw signs of a break in the tie-up of leather and hides which had forced a dozen factories to close and threatened the jobs of 100000 shoe workers.
 Small amounts of hides were re- ported to have been shipped after Federal agents began Investigating an alleged conspiracy to hold back supplies pending an upward adjust nlent in prices.
 Charles Foote, regional OPA price executive, believed that once the hide sstarted moving the pack CTS will just go ahead and provide the shoe trade with needed sup plies.
 Maxwell Field, executive vice. president of the New England Shoe & Leather Association warned, how ever, that small shipments were not conclusive.
 Unless hundreds of carloads start to follow within 24 to 48 hours" he said, it will not be possible to prevent a shutdown of scores of New England shoe plants by tomorrow night"
 Nearly 5000 workers already have been thrown out of work by shut downs and other thousands were working only part time as manu- lecturers tried to stretch meager supplies.

 Plants Lose Vet Troinino

Boston, Aug. 9-CUP)-On-the- job training programs for war vet eranS have been canceled in 20 Massachusetts plants because of irregularities and 40 other con- cerns have been warned to improve training facilities.
 The Boston regional office Of the Veterans Administration said that investigation of complaints, in the wake of Gen. Omar N. Bradley's charges of a possible national scan dal, revealed the following "irregu- larities." /"
 A refrigerator plant put 'trainees" to work as slaborers instead of me chanicS In two months, one veteran was discharged and rehired.11 times, another veteran seven times.
 A garage hired "traineeS" as au- tomobile nehcanics, but forced them to pump gasoline, change tires and wash cars.
 A restaurant asked to train men to become soda fountain managers and promptly discharged it's own manager and put the veterans to work on the fountain.
 A photographer hired veterans only after forcing them to sign an agreement promising they would not become his competitors for at least five years.
 A shoe factory, which hired three veterans to train as stitchers, was found to have only one stitching machine, already operated by a reg ular employe.
 The Veterans Administration said however, that the number of "irreg- ularit1es" was surprisingly small, considering that 12OO0 Massachu- SettS concerns are conducting on- the-job training programs.
