II Anthony B. Cassius gets a
license Friday to sell liquor in his
restaurant in Minneapolis it will
be due to the aroused public opinion
Of the decent people Of the Mill
City.
This upsurge Of public opinion
has been aroused by the vigorous
campaign Of the daily press by
news coverage, editorials and car
toons which ripped the cover off
the practice which has made Min.
neapolis liquor licensing odorous.
Thousands Of people not even
remotely interested in the liquor
business, as such, have been given
a glimpse Of how licenses for
which the city charges n nominal
sum actually cost thousands Of
dollars even when the uninitiated
business man attempts to go into
business.
II Cassius gets the license he will
be the first man in a long time who
got one without paying an extra
premium.

The public gets used to what it
sees. People get to know other
people they come into close con-
tact with. The greatest handicap
Negroes have in developing closer
interracial contacts is that the ma
jority of white people really don't
know US. This, all too often is
largely our own fault.

RENT CONTROL


If you were one of the veterans
who dragged out your pup tent
when President Truman signed the
new Housing and Rent Act of l947,
you can put it back in your pack
because if Frank r. Creedon, the
veterans housing expediter who
will administer the new act, knows
what he is talking about, you are
not going to be put out in the
street and things are not as bad
as they seem.
According to Mr.. Creedon, your
existing lease is not affected in any
way by the new law. 1t continues
in effect unless you and your land
lord voluntarily sign new lease
raising your rent.
Mr.. Creedon says further that
if your landlord seeks to raise your
rent and you refuse to sign hi:
new lease, he cannot put you out
The housing expediter also declare:
that the new law offers you greater
protection against eviction thar
the old law did.
Under the old law a tenant re
ceived from three to six month
notice before he could be evicte
when a place is sold. That part O
the old law is not in the new Law
but Mr.. Creedon says there is
clause in the new law which say
neither the landlord nor the pun
chaser can evict you unless the
themselves are going to live
your house or apartment.
So far as your chances of buyin
a new home under the new rel
law, Mr.. Creedon has this to say:

Keep your fist closed on that

day unanimously approved the bill
which would allow you to cash it

Dear Joe
ANOTHER BREAK!
ANOTHER DATE!
By JAMES L. HICKS

General Omar Bradley, Veterans
Administrator, took a look around
the country last week and, after
seeing all the veterans who are
walking around starving to death
with loaf of bread tucked under
their arms, decided he'd better do
something about it.
The general came back to Wash
ington and, after studying the acts
Of Congress, found that last Febru-
airy when Congress extended the
deadline for the reinstatement of
your National Service Life Insur-
ance from Jan. l to Aug. l it also
gave him the power to extend the
deadline at any time after Aug. !
that he might see fit, so he moved
the deadline up again and this time
the date is Jan. l, 1913.
So there you are again, Joe. You
now have until Jan. l, 194S, to pay
up two premiums on your lapsed
insurance policy and get a new
lease on a $4,000 life.
You should have it memorized
by this time but in case you have
forgotten, all you have to do to
reinstate your policy is pay the two
premiums and sign a statement
that you are in as good health now
as you were on the date you were
discharged.
More than 100000 of the boys
have reinstated their policies dur
ing the past five months. A half
million people can't be wrong, Joe
What are you waiting on?
| FOR FRESHMAN CITIZENS
You guys who are just being dis
charged from the army (what kept
you so long?) may use your termi-
nal leave orders as a basis for OBJ
tanning a temporary certificate OF
eligibility for education or training
under the CT Bill.
The VA is doing this so that yOu
can get into school as soon as you
go on terminal leave and not wait
until your leave is used up. Under
this plan a guy who is let out OF
the army on Aug. 2 with tive
months terminal leave due him car
enter school in September ever
though he is not actually dis
charged from the army until hi
terminal leave is up on Oct. 2. TIT
temporary certificates are good fol
six months.
Get this straight, though, Joe
if you don't want to go to Jail. Yol
are not eligible for subsistence al
lowance until your terminal leav'
is up and you are formally dis
charged! Let that subsistence,
money alone while you are oil
terminal leave.

A constructive step toward pro-
lection of the rights Of citizens in
public places (regardless of race,
creed, or nationality background
has been recently effected in St.
Paul. The Saint Paul Council of
Human Relations Citizens and
Mayors committee) and the May
or's office have arranged that the
pamphlet Outside the Home" be
given out by the License Bureau
with the issuance Of each new IL
cense and each renewal. A note
will accompany the leaflet reading:
This pamphlet is devised to help
you comply with the law. As many
copies as you need for the educa-
ton of your employees and patrons
can be obtained at this office or
that of the st. Paul Council of HUI
man Relations"
This pamphlet is an attractive
brochure prepared by the Cover
nor's Interracial Commission in
which the Minnesota Civil Rights
Law is printed with an excellent
explanation of the law, its history,
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1947-07-25

ANY homes or apartments COM
pleted after June 80 of this year
and up to March 81, 1913, must be
offered in good faith for sale or
rent to a veteran or his family for
a period of 30 days.
1.-THE law provides that a sign
must be posted in a conspicuous
place on the building site. This
sign must contain the rent or sales
price, the fact that it is offered
exclusively to veterans during the
80 day period, and the name and
address of the authorized dealer"
Mr.. Creedon added that the
dwelling must be publicly adver-
tised for sale or rent exclusively
to veterans on at least three days
during the first 20 of the 80 day
period and that this advertisement
must be carried in a newspaper of
general circulation in the commu-
nifty.
That's the law, Joe. If you look
at it closely you will note that Mr..
Creedon didn't say the new houses
were for sale or rent to white vet
Grams only. If you want to have
little fun with the law go on up
on the hill in your town where they
are building those new apartments
for white people and tell the build
ers that you are a veteran and Mr..
Creedon says they can't rent those
apartments to any non-veteran be-
fore they give you a chance at one
of them. Mr.. Creedon is President
Humans expediter for the veter.
ans housing program and he says
it's the law. He ought to know, Joe

Station, built ana managed by the
Swedish Tourist Association.
"Just a hours by train from
Stockholm, 1t Is located on the edge
of large lake, and surrounded on
three sides by mountains rising to
5000 or more feet above the level
OF habitation. They are covered
even in summer with patches OF eter-
nal snow. While not as majestic as
the Swiss Alps, the scenic effect Is
much the same, and the tourist
station is popular with Scandinavian
mixers and mountain climbers, and
with skiiers from December well into
May.
During period from June Is
to July 7, the sun never sets on
Abisko, and may be clearly seen from
the hotel at midnight as it dips low
over the mountain peaks to the
north before It again begins its
daily climb to the eastward. For
another week or two before and
after this time, the sun may still
be seen at midnight by those who
climb to the summit Of nearby Mt.
Njulja. For a period Of six weeks
around December al, the sun does
not rise at all at Abisko, but with its
return In late January, skiing here
becomes increasingly popular and
lasts well into the spring"

cruise, from Miami to Buenos Aires
and return, the tax amounts to
$140."
The Travel Department also dug
| out of the records these peculiar
applications, as explained at the
| time the tax exemption amendment
was going through Congress:
A traveller purchases a ticket in
New York for transportation to Lis
bon via Bermuda; for this he pays
no tax. However. if he should
change his mind and go no farther
than Bermuda, the tax will apply
and it will be the responsibility OF
the carrier to collect 1t.
Smith, Jones and Brown buy tick
cts in New York for transportation
on steamer going to San Francisco
via the Panama Canal. with stops
at Trinidad and Venezuela. Smith
is only going as far as Trinidad, so
/ he pays the tax. Jones is going to
Venezuela and pays no tax. And
Brown, heading for San Francisco,
pays no tax even though travelling
from one point in the United States
to another, since part Of the trans
portation was to South America.
A traveller purchases in Chicago
a round-trip ticket for transporta-
ton by air from Chicago to New
York to Newfoundland to London.
The amount paid for that part Of
the transportation between Chicago
and New York on both going and
return trips is subject to tax. If be-
cause Of weather or other emer-
gency the aircraft is forced, while
on the New Newfoundland leg
of the journey, to land at Boston,
no tax Is imposed by reason Of such
emergency stop.

The Treasury Department is ex-
pected to announce : shortly the
regulations under which transporta-
ton costs to Europe and South
America will be reduced Is per cent
April /.
News of the slash in travel costs
dropped like an unexpected plum in
to the laps Of prospective visitors
to Europe when President Truman
last week signed the bill elimin.
ating certain excise taxes. Half
forgotten was the Senate amend
ment to the bill ending the Is per
cent Federal levy ON transatlantic
steamship and airline tickets. It
also caught the travel agencies
somewhat at a loss to explain appli-
cation Of the new law to out-of the
way objectives or to interpret the
tax exemption in cases of unusual
itineraries. But the law is not toe
complicated as regards ordinary
foreign travel, although it already
presents some oddities. The new
regulations are expected to clarity
vague points that have been raised
in travel agencies.
Not open to question, of course, is
the fact that the tax on domestic
travel still stands. Also, as general
guide, it can be remembered that the
United States tax applies only to
transportation purchased on Ameri-
can soil.
To get clear picture of how the
tax exemption for foreign travel
will work, block of that portion of a
world map bounded on the east by
thirtietht meridian west of Green
wich (the line running through the
Azores); on the south by the Equa-
tor and on the west by the Pacific's
international Date Line. With some
exceptions, you must 60 beyond
some point on the three lines before
the tax is cancelled. The major
exception Is in South America. All
countries Of South America includ-
ing those northward Of the Equator,
can be visited without paying the
tax. Mexico, Central America and
Canada are not in the tax-exempt
zone.
Under the terms of the act, the
transportation levy does not apply
with respect to transportation,
any part Of which is outside the
northern portion of the Western
Hemisphere, except with respect to
any part of such transportation
which is from any port or station
within the United States, Canada or
Mexico to any other port or station
within the United States, Canada or
Mexico" 1t then defines the north
ern part of the Western Hemisphere
as being bounded by the thirttetll
meridian west, the Equator and the
International Date Line.
These boundaries leave within the
tax area such choice vacation spots
as Bermuda, Cuba, Nassau and all
such isles in the Caribbean. and the
Pacif1c's mecca, Hawaii.

There are not yet enough ships
on the pleasure travel routes to re-
vive that intriguing fayorite, the
North Cape cruise. But a satisfying
equivalent has been discovered" by
q Washington traveller, who has
brought back from Sweden the
memory OF an interesting Landslide
adventure into the Land of the
Midnight Sum-
Davis P. Low, of 2411 Tunlaw
road NV. tells Of it:
1.-THE traveller is privileged to make
an interesting side trip to a land
little known to the American public
-Lapp.and. In pre-war days, a
number Of summer cruises went as
far as the North Cape Of Norway,
to give the passengers view Of
the famous Midnight Sun. Hut this
interesting phenomenon may now be
viewed with equal comfort and far
smaller expenditure Of time by
means of the Swedish State Rail-
ways route.
During the summer months, three
trains a day leave Stockholm for
this northern frontier land. with
both coach and sleeping car service
available. About an hour out Of
Stockholm the train pauses at the
old university city of Upsala, where
stop-over may be made. From
there the train continues through
farming country into an extensive
region Of forest land, from which
comes the famous Swedish wood
pulp.
Several hundred miles north the
Arctic Circle Is crossed, marked by
several white stone markers and q
station, and shortly thereafter the
train stops at the iron-ore city OF
Kruma. The visitor to Lappland
continues on this route to the tour
