Lucas Realty Clients
Cool 10 Suggestion
To Finish Project

About Is persons who made down
on homes with Matthew
P. Lucas, former real estate broker
last night were urged to form a
mutual corporation to finish one of
Lucas building projects-but left a
meeting unimpressed with the pro-
posals they heard.
On February 6, Lucas brokers'
license was revoked by the District
Real Estate Commission, after it was
brought out that he had collected
about $4,000 for lots in a tract of
land he admitted he didn't own.
The tract, located on Southern
avenue in Prince Georges County,
just across the District line, has been
purchased by John T. Fisher, local
real estate developer.
Lucas, so and colored, invited the
depositors by post card to meet last
night at the Shiloh Baptist Church,
1900 Ninth street NV.
Lucas Attends.
The former real estate man was
present, but his case was presented
by the Rev. Joseph Ray, who said
he was director of the Negro Rescue
Federation. Mr.. Ray, who, said he
was using Lucas office at 1905 N
street NV, identified his organiza-
ton as IAN Ohio corporation formed
to further the interests of Negroes. y
Mr.. Ray said there are, as he sees
it, three courses open to the de-
positors who are anxious to get theil
money back.
First you can take the long way
and get homes OF your money back,
he declared.
The other two courses, he said
would be to force Lucas into bank
ruptcy or to take steps to prosecute
the former real estate man, "ir
which case you would get nothing.
Mr.. Ray said the long way" would
be to form a corporation to finish
purchasing some other land Mr.
Lucas said he made deposits on
but does not own.
Credit Possibility Discounted.
AS far as getting homes and lots
at the Prince Georges County tract
Mr.. Ray said Mr.. Fisher has indi-
Gated he will give the depositors
credit on homes after his building
development gets under way"
At this point, however, Henry L
Johnson, attorney for Is of the
depositors, declared Mr.. Fisher has
disclaimed any responsibility fol
Lucas promises and that he has
made no commitment about grant
ing credit to the depositors. Mr.
Fisher made a similar statement at
the real estate commission hearing
LAS far as putting more money
into Mr.. Lucas project is concerned
I wouldn't advise any of my clients
to do it," he declared.
After Mr.. Johnson's statement
several of the depositors left the
meeting. Then it ended abruptly.

attention:
i. Acting Secretary of State Ache

the House committee opens its hear
ing on the aid bill. He will be fol-
lowed by Secretary of War Patter-
son, Secretary of the Navy Forrestal
and Paul Porter, just back from
Greece, where he headed a special
mission of inquiry for Mr.. Truman.

authorizing expenditure of 50,000,-
900 for relief in five European coun-
tries-Italy, Grtece, Hungary, ALL
stria and Poland-and China after

Maryland told the Senate President
Truman should call a world dis

Acheson Warns of Gap.
4. Mr.. AcheSon cautioned at a
news conference that disaster may
result in Greece if there is a sub
stantial gap between the end OF
British aid and the beginning of
American help. Britain has mott
fed this country of her intention
to cast off her Greek commitments
at the end of this month because OF
her own economic difficulties.

Colorado protested in a radio ad-
dress against purchasing our way"
into a controversy between Russia,
Britain and Turkey over the OAR
danelles, terming it international
suicide" He said Britain is at
tempting to unload her block Rus

27000-ton aircraft carrier Leyte will
leave Quonset Point, R. l., early
next month to be the flagship of
group of warships including three
light cruisers and six destroyers on
the Mediterranean cruise. The
cruisers were named as the Provi-
dence, Portsmouth and Dayton in
a preliminary report from London.
Plans call for the Leyte to visit
Crete, Greek island $50 miles south
of Athens, and Istanbul, Turkey, as
we'll as Alexandria, Naples and
Gibraltar during her stay in the
Mediterranean.
With the administration aiming
at a March 81 target for final pas
sage of the Greek aid bill,

served notice they are not inclined
to limit their foreign policy review
to the conditions within the two
countries and their relationship with
Russia.

posed to continuing the hearings in

predicted privately it will take at
least 10 days or two weeks for the
