Carlos Mendoza acting as alter
mates.
Although rebufFed in an attempt
to put over a resolution demanding
that all persons attending national
conventions be given housing re-
CARELESS of race, color and creed,
an amended resolution was passed
whereby discrimination would be
eliminated among delegates.
Whether or not this will be of
any particular significance remains
to be seen, for those in informed
circles claim that the few liberal
states who send Negro delegates
have long since refused anything
less than complete equality for
their fellow representatives.
Directing a campaign for a Min
nesota Negro delegate to the ma
tional convention, Smith used the
same methods that brought first
success three years ago to his cam
paign for complete participation
Of Negro Legionnaires. He succeed

veteran Legionnaire, Martin Brown,
as delegate to the fall New York
cOnclave.
The auxiliary was active through
out the day, with district chaplain,
Cornelia Burns, opening the meet

an important role in the joint me-
mortal service which is the high
light Of activities Of the day.

DR.. Starke Hathaway, associate

basic hostilities developed early in
childhood. Minority groups are
perfect targets to serve as outlets
for this urge for aggression"
Nurtured in the most gentle Of
US, he said, this hostility is the root
of trouble. "The problem is not
to designate outlets but to find the
source Of hostilities and do away
with them"

Nearly 5000 of an estimated $4,000
unincorporated businesses in the
District liable for the city's new tax
on unincorporated businesses gross
ing more than $4,000 annually have
applied for licenses as the September
Is license deadline draws near.
Walter C. Thompson, newly ap-
pointed chief examiner in charge of
issuing the licenses and assessing the
tax, said today the 5000 applicants
have sent the required $40 license
fee along with their applications.
About 1000 licenses actually have
been issued so far, he said.
Checks mailed up to midnight
Monday will be considered as getting
the applicant in under the wire
where a license is concerned, he said.
The actual tax is not due until
April Is.
Meanwhile, applicants for the new

Because scores of persons are

every day demanding to be told why
their real estate taxes have surged
to a new high, practically every
employe of the Assessors Once has
had to pitch in to answer questions.
Sixty taxpayers, asked how they
were treated by the tax and assess
ment clerks, agreed that they were
handled with courtesy and dispatch.
But one man exemplified the at
titude of all.
How did they treat me?" he re-
piled. "The tone was polite but
the message was painful. As far as
I'm concerned, nobody can tell me
my taxes have gone up and make

Suit Seeks 10 Force
Couple From Home
In Restricted Area

A suit seeking to restrain Aaron
Tushin from occupying his home at
6918 Wilson lane, Bannockburn
Heights, Bethesda, contrary to a
subdivision covenant is pending in
Montgomery County Circuit at
Rockville.
The action was brought by James
M. Pugh, attorney for nine residents
of the area, who claim in the suit
that Mr.. Tushin's occupancy is
causing them 'irreparable damage"
Mr.. Paugh said it is the first test
of Jewish clause in a property
covenant ever to be taken in a
Montgomery County court. He added
he will seek a hearing this month.
Covenant Quoted.
According to the attorney, the
covenant, established by the Ban
nockburn Improvement Co. in 1886,
reads in part:
Said property shall never be used
or occupied by Negroes .,
Jews, Persians and Syrians, except
that this paragraph shall not be held
to exclude partial occupancy of the
premises by domestic servants of
any of the owners of said property"
Declaring that Mr.. Tushin, a Gov
eminent employe, who is married
and has three children, bought his
home more than a year ago, the suit
alleges that he has failed to move
despite repeated demands and that
the continued violation is injuri-
ous."
Defense to File Answer.
Also named as a defendant is Mrs.
Lucille Tushin, who, according to
Mr.. Pugh, is not Jewish. The suit
seeks to restrain her from permitting
her husband to occupy the home.
Plaintiffs in the suit are Mr.. and
Mrs. William M. Webb, 6709 Selkirk
drive; Mr.. and Mrs. Paul B. Kern.
Elgin lane; Mr.. and Mrs. John w.
Senour, 6700 Selkirk drive; Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Otis CARRIER, Braeburn park
way, and Mrs. Mary I. Rawlings,
whose address could not be obtained.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tushin are repre-
sented by Alfred D. Noyes, who is
expected to file an answer to the
suit in a few days. 1t was learned
that in his answer Mr.. Noyes will
attack the constitutionality of the
covenant.
