from 1873 Washburne Ave. was di
ers Court.
These tenants have been on a
trent strike since January The
plaintiff withdrew her suit after
the judge stated that otherwise
he would have no choice but to
rule in favor of the defendants
since the five-day notices requir-
ing the payment of rent did not
comply with OPA regulations.
This ruling may have far
reaching consequents since here
tofore all five-day notices have
been on printed forms regularly
used by real estate firms and
lawyers. but these forms fail
to comply with OPA rent regu-
lations as to the information
required.
ON Januar..- Is, the building at
1888 Washburne avenue was
swept by fire in which the four
children of James Hickman lost
their lives.
The tenants of the building
organized into a unit of the Chi
cago Area Tenants Union and
declared a rent strike until such
time as the landlord made ade-
quate repairs on the building.
They have not had any water,
lights or gas in the building. The
city water department and the
utilities companies refuse to pro-
vide facilities until the wiring and
water pipes are repaired.
MRS. Adams has been fined in
license Court for violations OF the
city fire and building codes.
1T is the contention of the
tenants that no money is due
the landlord because the build
ing is unfit for human habifa-
tion." stated Attorney M. J.
MYer in his opening statement
to the jury. pointing out the
nature of the evidence that
would be submitted.
He continued by charging that
the landlord had not fulfilled her
obligations and that therefore no
rent was due her and she has no
right to evict the tenants.
Attorneys M. j. Myer and Leon
Despres, representing the tenants,
won an initial legal fight to have
all the six cases combined and
heard by one jury. The attorneys
questioned each prospective juror
carefully as to whether or not they
would be prejudiced in their judg-
ment because the litigants were
Negroes.

from among "a covenant cases
pending in the c X county
courts.
THERE is most compelling
factor which must be considered
in the decision of this case,'
concluded Master Goldberg's opin-
ion.
I'm addition to the fact that
legal authority is almost unani-
nous in favor of tbs enforce
ment of restrictive covenants.
If cannot be forgotten that
plaintiffs have the inalienable
right to deal with their own
real estate as theY see fit in
the pursuit Of happiness in ac-
cordance with their own point
of view.
1.-THE fact that plaintiffs and
many other persons do not choose
to have members of the Negro
race as their neighbors may be
highly undemocratic, wit h u
good reason, and without any
scientific basis, but in a system of
free enterprise and property
rights, plaintiffs and all other
persons have the inalienable right
to do as they see fit with their
property, within reasonable linn
its, and to pick their neighbors
as they choose.
THE American Jewish Cong-
ress, Chicago division, entered
the case as ''friend of the court"
and obtained permission to file
brief and argue on the defense
side in opposition to racial dis
elimination.
THE arguments raised by
these expert witnesses should
be addressed not to the courts.
but TO the legislature" said the
opinion. IF The enforcement Of
restrictive covenants is the
cause of all or even a part of
the social and economic ills
described by these witnesses.
then il would be the duty of
the legislatures in the several
states TO enact proper statutes
forbidding such covenants.
"The fact cannot be denied that
discrimination and segregation
are practiced against the Negro
not only in the south, but in the
North as well. 1t is a matter of
common knowledge that Negroes
are treated unfairly as regards
employment, that there is So
called Job ceiling which Negroes
can hardly penetrate, that Negroes
are Disseminated against as re-
CARDS educational opportunities,
and in every walk of life.

|s445,5O0 Judgment
Awarded 10 Actress

Mrs. Elsie Lillian Tucker Duel,
Hollywood actress, yesterday was
awarded District Court Judgment
against her former husband,
Charles II. Duell. jr., for $455, 500
representing overdue payments
claimed under q 1928 maintenance
agreement.
The award was made by Justice
David A. Pine, who allowed the pro-
ceeding in the absence Of Mr.. Duell
because the latter never has purged
himself of contempt OF court cita-
|tion last year for failing to submit
certain papers to the court auditor.
The suit was brought IN 1912
while MIR. Duell had a Washing
ton address. Now said to be in
New York, Mr.. Duell, according to
attorneys, is a former president OF
the Brisbane Box Corp. of Detroit
and at one time was president OF
Inspiration Pictures, Inc. He is a
former manager for the notion
picture actress, Lillian Gish, 1t was
said.
Mrs. Duell, who, counsel said, OBJ
tanned a Paris divorce In 1924, has
acted under the name of Lillian
Tucker.
A maintenance agreement called
for payments of $500 a month to
Mrs. Duell, in the event Mr.. Duelfs
income was three times that amount.
Mr.. DueIl has not made payments
since November, 1924, it was said.
He also was to have paid his former
wife an additional $4,000, which
has not been paid, the suit charged.
/ Mrs. Duell was represented by At
torneys Joseph G. Dondero and 9.

This picture shows the top
~sergeants of the change-over. The
men who bear the responsibility
for the mechanical efficiency of
the crews. From left to right:
VIM. Wunderlick, foreman over
20 groups; Clyde Lemon, foreman
over 20 groups; Louis Bobell, fore
man over special crew; Ershell
Rowe, assistant to VIM. Bell, SUI
pervisor of Industrial Heating.
All these men have had years Of
experience in the Utilities Service
Department. They were chosen
for their mechanical knowledge,
organizing ability and leadership.
Vim. Wunderlich and Clyde Lee
mon are leaders over 20 groups
each. They stand ready to find
the answers to any problem in
their outfit which might puzzle
the workman or his supervisor.
Louis Bobell is forman Of q spe-
cial group of 40 highly trained ex-
perts some selected from our ser
vice department others brought in
from outside. Mn who have work
ed for the past 10 years on change
over jobs all over the country.
This crew will spend most of their
time on industrial and house heat
ing problems. They will always be
available as trouble shooters for
any problem which stumps a
group leader.
Erschel Rowe is assistant to
VIM. Bell, theirs are all the gas
appliances used for industrial and
commercial change-over heating
Now a few words about the
change-over crews. They are COM
posed of men from 10 different
colleges and universities. They are
The Omaha guide., 1947-06-21

for the most part veterans who
are finishing their engineering
coureses, which were interrupted
by the war. The wives and par
ents of these engineering students
live in Omaha. The employment
by the Utilities of these college
men not only helps a lot to take
the financial burden Of a college
course from the shoulders of their
parents but also brings no housing
problem to our over crowded city.
$50 students from the University
of Omaha and Creighton Univer-
sity started work June 9. One
hundred and twenty more from
Universities scattered all over the
country are now taking a week
of intensive training and will
join the other crews June 16.
Here is a way you can help a
lot in the change-over. Should you
be on a vacation or out of town
when the change-over workman
calls. Phone the Utilities and re-
quest the change-over operator.
Tell her where you will lave your
key. With your neighbor, with a
member Of the family or with u
meter reading department. The
change-over man will get the key
and return it the same day after
the change-over is completed. In
case you do not wish your home
entered. We will shut off all the
gas from your home. We will on
news of your return make the
change over at u earlies con-
venience. The Utilities would like
n of your family or a neighbor
to be present when they make the
change-over to be sure evrything
is lift in perfect condition.

Bell Telephone Company
Reprices Phone Service

"Rising costs of furnishing serv-
ice have forced a revision in our
application to the Nebraska State
Railway Commission for repricing
Of service" according to G. D.
Gietzen, District Manager of the
Northwestern Bell Telephone
Company.
Commenting on the amended ap-
p~lication filed with the Commits
sion today, Mr.. Gietzen said. In
order to provide good telephone
service to our customers in Ne
braska and make needed improve
ments as we go along, prices for
the service must reflect the pre-
vailing costs Of furnishing it.
THE original application filed
February Is, 1947," Mr.. Gietzen
pointed out, was our first re-
quest for statewide repricing of
local telephone service in 81 years
and was based on going costs at
the time of filing. We are now
forced to amend the pending APP
| plication to take into account still
higher costs, principally the re-
cent increase in wages. Our pay
! roll, the biggest single intern Of
telephone servic expnse, has more
than doubled since 1889 due pri-
marily to hiher wage levels and to
more people needed to meet serv-
ice demands.
In recent years the outgo has
increased so much faster than the
intake that the Company's level
of earnings in Nebraska is at an
all-time low. Repricing is the only
solution but we are keeping it as
small as possible. There were no
margins in the original applica-
ton to meet the amount of wage
adjustments with which we are
faced and we now find it neces-
sary to ask the Commission for
additional revenues"
MI. Gietzen said that the revis-
ed prices proposed for some of
the principal classes of local serv-
ice (not including Federal taxes)
here in Omaha are as follows:

man I go with but we just can't
get along. Do you think we could
do better if I let him stay with me
as he wishes?
Ans: You would be at each
others threats continually if you
allowed him to move in. However,
if he wants to do the job up right
and get married-you a con-
slider his offer as a proposal.
c. B.-Tell me what to do as I'm
nearly crazy. You advised me
right before I left my family but
I wouldn't listen. 1 don't know if
you can untangle me now or not.
I have paid for what I did to my
husband and children. I went. to
this man and thought I was hap
py until he started running
around. Now I am pregnant and
he has left me. 1 don't see how I
can go back home with this other
mans baby on the way. What
must I do?
Ans: Love is very forgiving-
get in touch with your husband
and let him know how sorry you
r for the wrong you have done.
Explain your present predicament
1t is up to you to make the first
step toward a reconciliation since
it was you who erred. Forget your
pride and ask for another chance.
S. M. C.-Last Sunday night my
daughter came in from a date
with her eyes swollen and I know
she had been crying. 1 asked her
what was wrong and she passed
it off by saying she fell down.
Now have I reason to worry?
Ans: No, there isn't any reason
for alarm. Your daughter is
grown up now and is in love for
the first time. She had a little
tiff with her boy friends which
caused her to become upset emo
tionally. 1t is best to let the Incl
dent pass unseen.
M. r. B.-My husband and I
have been married for Is months.
Before we were married. we both
felt like we were married, we
both felt like we could not go on
without the other, but since we
massied, seems like there is some

thing between us that keeps us
from being as happy as we wish
to be. 1 am a true wife and he
is a true husband.
Ans: There's not enoogh color
in yoor lives. You're sitting
around doing nothing during your
leisure hours and it's wearing on
your nerves. You need more en-
tertainment. Invite friends in at
least once a week-join a club
take an active part in church
work. These outlets will break the
monotony and make life more
pleasant for both Of you.
G. H. W.-Tell me what to do.
Must'I take the trip my husband
is plannin or stay at home and
keep working?
Ans: Go along with your hus-
band on the trip. A little pleasure
is just as necessary to life as
the few dollars you would earn if
you stayed behind.
M. CT am in a little distress.
Knowing that you are a man Of
sound judgment, I bring my pro
blem to you. I am a girl Of 81
and ever I was a young girl I have
been very luiky getting nice re.

They have all been muih older
than I. Last year I married one OF
these men after his wife died. He
is 5. Now, I find that I love g
single man of As whom I iannot
understand. Kindly help me to
understand him as L do not want
to lose him.
Ans: He's lost to you already
and rightly SO. It's folly for 2
married woman to fall for an
other man and fool herself into
thinking she can satisfy his de-
sire for companionship and keep
peace in her home too. Bid the
boy friend farewell. Your appar-
ent good luck in attracting the
opposite sex hasn't netted you any
happiness to speak of-had you
used your charm on the single
fellows and left the old married
guys alone, there would have been
a different nding to your story.
Stop playing the role of glamour
al and concentrate on making
your husband happy.
