Ask for Investigation OF Real
Estate Board Who Restricts
Housing Chances for Negroes

Investigation Of practices of the
Washington, D. c. Real Estate
Board which have restricted hoas.
ing opportunities for Negro resi-.
dents Of the District of Columbia,
was asked today of Attorney Gen
eral Tom C. Clark by James B.
Carey, secretary-tearsure Of the
CIO and chairman of the CLIO
Committee to Abolish Dtscrimina-
ton.
Text of Mr.. Carey's letter fol-
lows:
1T has been brought to our at
tention that the Washington Real
Estate Board, currently under in
dictment for violation Of the Anti
Trust laws, follows the practice
Of denying the sale, rental or ad-
vertising of property in a so-called
white section to colored people
The Boards constitution states:
No property in a white section
should ever be sold, rented ,advsr-
tised Or offered to colored people.
In a doubtful case, advice from
the Public Affairs Committee
should be obtained
In the past, many of Washing.
tons Negroes and white have lived
close together in many parts Of
the city and where mixed neigh.
borhoeds still exist, incidents Of
racial friction are rare.
In late years, Negroes have
increasingly been forced into a
few overcrowded Sums. City
planners and well-to-do private
citizens are displacing old Negro
neighborhoods Will. white real
estate dealers and property owner
erect formal barriers to keep Ne.
gross out of so-caned white areas.
Housing conditions are poor for
Washington residents in general.
but largely because of the pres
sure just described, they are much
worse for Negroes
I'VE are of the opinion that the
aforementioned technique aaong
with restrictive covenants and
the refusal of financial institu.
tons to make loans to Negroes
on property within the so-called
white neighborhoods, are a viola.
ton of the Antitrust Act in ad.
dition to being a gross violation
of the civil liberties and rights
OF Negro citizens.
I'VE are calling this practice Of
the Washington Real Estate Board
to your attention, respectfully
urging that this phase of tbs act
ivities be included in the current
scope of legal action engaged in
by the u. S. Government against
the Washington Real Estate
Board"

How to Avoid Shaving,
So much Yet Look
Brighter Younger

Men troubled with Five O..
Clock Shadow" "Stubble Trouble.
or just plain whiskers, may be in.
terested in a secret formula 70;
shaving which James A. Moore OF
Narrowsburg, New York, is cur.
rently offeging for $1.06, cash in
advance.
Moore's discovery eliminates the
need for daily shaving and pow.
dering. Regardless Of how heavy
your beard is, Moore's secret
method will keep you looking
your best with a once a week
shave. The results will "astonish'
your friends, says, Moore, and
you yourself will be amazed
after you get the secret formula.
An architect, who received one Of
Moore's solicitations asked the
National Better Business Bureau
to investigate and the following
advice is what they got for q dol
lar:
FORMULA
Wash hands and face thoroughly
and when good and dry take a
pair Of tweezers and Pluck one
hair at a time.
The first treatment Of plucking
breaks the roots of long standing
and of course smarts a little.
when you have completed the
plucking, wash hands and face
again and save your face again
and shave your face for the fine
fuzz and fine hairs that are left
after the plucking.'
In revealing this bit Of wisdom.
Moore says to his customers.
among other things:
Don't say you can't do it.
remember Men are Men, The
first treatment is the hardest be-
cause you have to break the con-
n~ection, whit you will hardly no.
tice the second treatment
The gentleman from Narrows-
burg offers this boon to blue
boards with perhaps the safest
guarantee that was ever offered.
He guarantees double your money
back if you shave more than one
a week with his method.

England Urged 10 Drop
Curbs on Trade by
Foreign Trade Study
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 90 England
must abandon many Of its present
restrictive trading procedures if the
world is to achieve economic recov-
cry and continued high productiv-
ity, the United Kingdom Committee
of the National Foreign Trade
Council declared yesterday.
The committee published a study
Of "Anglo-American commercial re-
lations" which said American busi-
ness views with misgiving the dras-
tic extension of bureaucratic con-
troll now the dominant theme in
British economic policy"
Specifically, the committee urged
England to:
l. Reduce British trade prefer
ences.
2. Abandon bilateral trading ar
rangements.
3. Eliminate regulations which
currently reduce incentives for
American capital investment" there.
4. Eliminate discrimination
against employment of American
business personnel in the United
Kingdom.
The United States, in turn, was
urged to grant further financial and
economic assistance to Britain, to
negotiate modern treaty of COM
merce and navigation to supersede
the convention of 1915, and to en-
courage an increase in American
consumption of British products.
The committee said British So
cialization of industry was keeping
American investment capital out to
the detriment of British economic
recovery. 1t urged the British gov
ernment to define the exact field in
which enterprise can function with
out threat of appropriation.
TN the sphere reserved to pri-
vate industry every official encour-
agement should be extended" the
report added.
In urging Britain to abandon re-
strictions, the committee said:
"It Is realized that foreign trade
policies Of the United States have
not always been liberal, but this fact
does not excuse unnecessarily re-
strictive procedures by foreign coun-
tries"

Of heavy cardboard ABOUT four
inches in diameter, and cut a cross
through the center so that the han
die of the brush can be passed
through the disc. This will fur
nish a hilt much like on a sword.
Between this hilt and the bristles
of the brush; dry cloth should be
wrapped which will absorb the fluid
which normally will run down the
handle of the brush. When this
cloth wad has become soaked, it
should be discarded, and another
dry wrapping placed between hilt
and bristles.
Actual test has proved that you
can paint for a quarter of an hour
without renewing the cloth wad.
Providing you are working in fairly
rapid speed, you should be able to
cover 100 square feet in that time.
If you are working with an oil paint
and are careful about dipping the
brush, you may be able to work for
a longer period with ease.
One of the drawbacks to ceiling
Evening star., 1947-12-20

work is the time-honored necessity
Of removing all the furniture in the
room to avoid damage to the up
holstery, or at least to shift 1t from
side to side of the room. BY using
the method described above, all the
furniture may be left in place. One
old sheet or blanket, spread imme-
diately beneath the area of opera
tion, is enough to guarantee pro-
lection.
Catching Stray Drops.
In the case where you want to
refinish or freshen-up a ceiling
without recovering the walls, you
should attach a sheet (or news
paper pinned together) immedi-
ately below the picture molding,
with thumb -tacks, SO that any stray
drips will be caught.
When you are using oil paint, do
not dilute it, but apply it as it
comes out of the container. When
you are using water-solvent paints,
have the solution heavy and full
bodied. Never dip a brush in either

les is the present favorite hobby
of Mr.. Thomas although he will
listen when you talk about tele-
vision, facsimile radio newspa-
pers and other progress in cleo
tronic fields. Of course sound
movies have a relation with ra-
dio and you've got to be some
what of an electrician, so Mr.
Thomas is right at home with
his equipment. His gear includes
Bell & Howell sound protector,
a Bolex 16mm motion picture

a PerfeX 35mm among other
items. We won't even attempt to
tell you how much radio or cleo

when radio men call it junk
they dent exactly mean junk.
But let's get back to our story
Mr. Thomas has been at his
hobby for about ten years. He
can make his own motion pic
lures and some day I shall ask
him to operate a local Holly
wood studio with local talent
playing all The tough guys, love
scenes and thrilling episodes. He
hasn't time now, for his own To-
cal shows are already the talk
of the town. He is kept mighty
busy at the local Community
Center. In fact MIR. Thomas will
go anywhere in New England
for sound work and is consider
ing a number Of reuests to do
SO. The best thing about this
hobby is that it pleases so many
others. And therein lies its
value.
