By John v. Homer

OF his accomplishments, Romeo
w. Horad seems proudest of the
home he built 10 years ago at 1903
Old Bladensburg road, Silver Spring.
The air-conditioned, Georgian
house is evidence, he says, of what
Negroes can do if given the oppor-
tunity. To him, it is proof that the
race appreciates the advantages of
modern living and is entitled to a
chance of enjoying them.
This feeling is reflected in Mr.
Horads work as president of the
Citizens Council for Mutual I'm
provement. In that Office he has
worked for improvement of Negroes,
especially by showing that colored
pupils in Montgomery County dc not
have school facilities equal to those
for whites, and that living condi-
lions of the two races are not COM
parable.
Running for Council.
He is running for the 5th Dis
trict seat on the new council as the
candidate of the Mutual Improve
ment group, which is composed of
about 1000 Negroes.
The organization, claiming Nom
political status, is backing Mr..
Horad on the grounds that the
charter movement is nonpartisan.
Nevertheless, the candite will use
the Republican label on the special
election ballot.
Mr.. Horad, 81, is a native of
Washington. He attended public
schools here, the Myrtila Minor
Normal School-now Teachers Col
lege-and Western Reserve Uni
versity, Cleveland. Later he took a
law degree at Howard University.
For a year during World War l.,

 Rain prevented two games in the Pacific Coast League last night and the leading San Francisco Seals, although idle, benefited by one that was played to move a full game ahead of second-place Los Angeles.
 The Angels bowed to San Diego and the irrepressible Xavier Rescig- No, 4 to 2. MT K had busy night. He argued with some of the 3,750 spectators, with the um- pires and with his own teammates. But he had his disposition under control, along with the ball, when the chips were down. The former Hollywood hurler allowed only six hits, one a homer by Cece Gar riott in the third.
 Oakland went on it's biggest bat ting binge of the year, a 16-hit attack, in beating Portland, 9-1. The Oaks shelled three Beaver pitchers while their own mounds man, Damon Hayes, allowed only four Portland hits.
