LIETUVOS SAVANORIUI

Ten niekas neateis prie tavo kapo -
Geliu tau neatnes naktis.
Nejaus sirdis vijokliu kvapo,
Kur pinsis gonkose aplink duris.
Tu niekad, niekad jau negrisi,
Ir mylimos neglausi prie Strides.
Nepuos jurginai tavo kryziu -
Dilgem israut nieks rankos neisties.
Tu palikai prie misko liunu.
Ant tavo salmo pauksciai tik tupes.
Ten neatves vienturti sum-
zmona prie idubusios duobes
Su ginklu isejai, kur daugel ejo,
Ir gimta zeme gynei tn.
Tada zmones juk visaip kalbejo -
O laisve prase ju auku..
Kaip pasaka diena sugris namoliai =
Kvepes vel teviskej ziedai.
Naujas vagas vers tavo broliai,

Gov. Green call a special session

The General Assembly. Cakes
pointed out in his address at the
State Fair on Progressive Party
Day, "can stop evictions." 1t can
authorize local authorities to inn
pose rent ceilings and "can fl
nance and program the building
of additional homes"
Moreover, he declared, it "can
act to lower prices" by checking

the buildings should be torn
down.
The building Of new modern
dwellings would make the diff
ference between the blighted
slum area that now exists, and
an attractive neighborhood, but
I cannot agree that the only way
to bring about these improve
ments is to commit the many in
justices included in the present
proposals for the area.
THESE INJUSTICES can be
best explained if the residents,
for the sake of discussion, are
divided into three separate cate
gories.
The first group is the prop
erty owners group.
Here justified objection stems
from the fact that their property
will be bought from them at
prices fixed by jury, which at
best will not be sufficient for
them to rebuild anywhere, at the
present cost of land and con-
struction.
I h er e ore, people who've
worked good part of their lives
to acquire piece of property
will find themselves out of land,
out of 1ucre, and as far as any,
one around City Halls seems con-
cerned, out of luck.
The security and comfort of
owning their own homes, which
they've worked to gain and MAIN
tain all their lives, will suddenly
be denied them.
THE NEXT GROUP consti-
tutes 40% of the residents of the
area.

RAY ANDREWS. "a, of 1719

chorus. A UE-CIO, Local 1114

benevolent" insurance company,
with typical public spiritedness,
has devised a nifty scheme for
throwing several hundreds of Ne
gro families into the street, tear
ing down the existing property
building new modern apartments
and then renting these apart
ments to folks who viii pay a
rate of rent much more profit
able to the insurance company
and nearly everyone concerned,
except the general public.
BRIEFLY. the deal works this
way: The land and buildings on
it will be bought with state and
city funds, provided by the taxes
you pay, under the right of en-
inent domain.
The state and city will then
undertake the expense of tearing
down all existing structures, and
when the mass demolition is
completed, the land, estimated in
value at around So per square
foot, will be sold to the New
York Life Insurance Co. for just
SO cents per square foot.
The insurance boys will then
construct lovely apartments that
will rent from SIS up and live
happily ever after.
NOW. I certainly don't claim
that there is no need for i'm
provement in the neighborhood

PIP to talk
at city meet
on HOUSING

AT 10 am. on Monday, Aug.
%, the Housing Committee of
the City Council will hold an
open hearing in Council cham
bers to discuss and reject or APP
prove the present nine sites pro-
posed for Chicago's relocation
housing program.
AT the Monday hearing, Pro-
gressive Party of Illinois will de-
mand time to speak on the pro-
posed sites.
The president of the Public
Housing Assn, Elmer Gertz, has
classified these sites as largely
bad" and has stated that only
after having been worn out by
the overwhelming pressure ex-
erted upon them" did the Chi
cago Housing Authority agree to
them.
Four previous. selections for
housing sites were turned down
by the Mayor and Council be-
cause property-owners' associa-
tons expressed fear" that Ne
groes would be given homes in
their areas.

UNDER the direction of Mrs.

special occasions, the women
wear flowery hats with long
ribbons down their backs, color

skirts; the men wear white

fronts, boots and full, blousey

YPA opens drive

Giant cardboard pens, 515 feet
tall and 3 feet wide, were dis
played at more than a dozen
spots throughout the city this
week as Young Progressives of
America launched their drive to
repeal the draft. and end Jim
Crow in the armed forces.
The pens, on which the sigma
lures of petitioners were in
scribed, bore legends such as
use This to Write an Order

Army, Mr.. Truman"
At the same time some 10000
leaflets were distributed at shop
gates and in various neighbor-
hoods by YPA members.

These are the folks whose low
incomes prevent their moving
into any dwelling where the
rental is $75 a month, but who
for one reason or another are
ineligible for low cost housing.
Today, when housing is scarce,
when high rentals and padded
bonuses are required of all who
want apartments, these people
are offered nothing to meet the
critical need that will be forced
upon them when the city buys
their present dwellings, and no
titles them that they'll have to
move.
FINALLY. there are the low
income families.
To throw them out of their
sub-standard homes into other
homes that are already, or soon
will become ub-standard for the
simple reason that it takes money
to maintain property, and these
aren't monied people, is the most
ridiculous conception of "slum
clearance ever foisted off on the
gullible public.

w stage run to make picture in Hollywood, she
gave out with lofty interview. ---,---------.
Hollywood has treated me with proper respect"
she said gracously. 1T has discovered that have
grown in stature - that l am dramatic actress"
People who knew her refused to take it seriously,
however. Shes like little girl trying on her mothers
dress, they said indulgently They describe her as
breezy warn-hearted, mpulsive girl with an impish
face and comic manner.
Miss Havoc is indeed very pretty young woman
with wonderful sense of broad comedy - rare and
irresistible combination. But she's like the gifted
comic who yearns to play Hamlet.
sh. Tried 70 Bs Gl.nosous
WHEN Hollywood first called her, she decided she
had to be glamorous She bobbed perfectly beautiful
nose, tweezed her naturally neat eyebrows, donned
dark glasses Fortunately the elusive comic look was
still there.
Hollywood at first crossed her by assigning her
exclusively to light comedy roles not, alas the
broad comedy of her early Broadway parts. And
now, in "Gentlemans Agreement she has subtle
and uncomic role, and in Intrigue" she plays a
menace Her friends hope she has gotten this out of
her system and can now really be herself.
Herself is quite an entertaining person, rough
and-tumble comedienne and talented dancer
Miss Havoc comes of an unconventional but highly
entertaining show family. Her sister is Gypsy Rose
Lee. the intellectual ex-burlesque queen Her mother
is the quintessence of Bohemian mothers Theirs was

Now they are eating. But June Havoc is still in
rebellion. Even at the possible risk of being dull she
is apparently determined to be conventional.
