THE CABILDo

The visitors trip to New Orleans
is incomplete without a trip to
the Cabi1do. Here is to be seen
the place in which the famous
pirate and slave smuggler, Pierre
Lafitte, was incarcerated and from
which, he made his daring escape.
The old slave auction block, a
lock of Andrew Jackson hair, and
portraits and relics of famous
men and women from all coun-
tries of the world are to be seen.
Just opposite the Cabildo on Jack
son Square, was the great slave
trading post of the South.
The French Market, La Marche
Francaise.-it's a quaint and fas-
chatting group of low, open struc-
lures where every fruit, vegetable
and Wand may be found. This in
exhaustible variety and bounty of
foods are there to satisfy the
wants of hungry peoples of diff
ferent races and nationalities who
have made New Orleans their
adobe.
The Vieux Care The Old
Square is the old latin section
of the city where 1t was original
ly built. The narrow streets, the
quaint houses, their strange fur.
nishings. their frescold porticos,
-grilled porches. the variety of ant

fascinate and hold the visitor for
days. Here was once gay New Or

BALTIMORE WIDOW
FEEDS BLUEBLOODS
OF THE WORLD

CHICAGO - Ruler of white
blueblood banquets featuring dia-
mond back terrapin at $3.50 per
person, says September Ebony, is
Mrs. Fannie Shipley, Negro
widow whose Baltimore catering
firm regularly feeds royalty and
counts the Duchess of Windsor as
a steady customer.
1.-THE Shipley business was es-
tablished by ex-stable boy Charles
Shipley, late husband of the pre-
sent owner early this century," the
Ebony feature entitled Food For
Bluebloods" states. Under his hand
the firm served at the debut of
Wallis Warfield, now Duchess of
Windsor. She is still one of Mrs.
Shipley's best customer when In
the Baltimore area"
Prince Paul of Greece and Queen
Marie of Rumania are only two of
the royal group which dotes on
Shipley treats. And the diamond
back terrapin prepared in the Ship
ley kitchens under the clever bust
ness woman's watchful eye is ship
ped in dry ice all over the world
at $500 quart.
Mrs. Shipley regularly employees
ten persons in her company and
still maintains the tradition estab-
lished by her late husband, of
whom the Baltimore Sun said at
his death in 1913:
"He could turn any house or
apartment into ducal palace with
his banquet arrangements"

THE ROOTS OF WAR

CONTINUED from Last Week.
Finally t h e are the political
bases for war. of which interna-
tional anarchy-the absence of in
ternational LAWS the most all
inclusive 1t is highly probable that
the individual states of the United
States would fight among them
selves were it not for our, federal
government which, as a higher
unit of sovereignty, assures the
settlement of interstate disputes
by arbitration and law rather than
by war.
Government Can Avert War
The fact that Oregon never con-
siders going to war with Washing
ton is proof of this statement, for
both Oregon and Washington are
subject to higher laws than their
own. Another war can be averted
by world government, but only
when the worlds people want that
government enough to work for its
creation and augmentation.

In a comparison report on the
incidence of disease and death in
the Negro and white population,
the health legislation endorsement
revealed startling facts: THE 1914
infant mortality rate for the ma
ton was 6O.s per 1000 live births
among Negroes and 1863 among
whites. A newborn Negro male
infant has life expectancy of
fifty-five years; a white male in
FAINT has life expectancy of sixty
three and one half years. Among
female infants the life expectancy
for Negroes is fifty-eight years,
for whites sixty weight years. Dur
ing 1913, fifty-one Negro mothers
out of every thousand died in
childbirth; the rate for white
mothers was twenty-one. Among
Negroes the general death rate is
1923 per 100000 population. more
than three times higher than the
white death rate (34.3). Three
times as many Negro children
under five years of age die from
pneumonia n d influenza n n
whites. Heart diseases cause twice
as many deaths among colored
perons five to twenty-four years
of age. and three times as many
for the twenty-five to forty five
year-old groups as among whites
of comparable ages. In the South
abe death toll from pellagra is
nine times greater for the Negro
race.
Not only physical but mental
diseases and defects would be
treated under the proposed legisla-
ton. The National Urban League
urges nationwide support of the
proposed legislation.
An action program aimed at
protecting the interests of racial
groups, through close study of the
new Housing and Rent Control
Act of 1947, was urged by the
National League as the social
agency called upon its fifty-six
local units to follow through with
vigorous campaign.
Local Advisory Rent Control
Boards become key factors. in de-
termining the policy under which
the Housing and Rent Control Act
will be administered in each COM
munity," Reginald A. Johnson,
housing coordinator of the Ma
tional Urban League, stated. ut
is important that all national and
local organizations and community
leaders wire or write the Governor
of their state requesting the in
clusion of racial and minority
group representatives in the list
of names recommended by him to
the Housing Expediter. These. rep
resentatives will be appointed to
the local Advisory Rent Control
board in each defense-rental area.
st would be well for organiza-
ton and community leaders to
supply the names of several re-
sponsible representatives of minor
ity groups from each defense
rental area, "Mr. Johnson con-
tnued. Let the Mayor and the
Rent Control Director know the
desire that racial representatives
be included on your Local Advi-
sorry Rent Control Board"
The Urban Leagues Housing
Coordinator emphasized that the
local advisory boards MAY recon-
mend raises in rents at any time
or even removal of all rent con-
trolls from the entire area. This
means situations may arise in
which there the lifting of rent
ceilings or decontrols may be JUS
titled as far as the general popula-
ton is concerned But such ac-
tons may find Negroes and other
minorities squeezed between a wise
of extreme housing shortages on
