Franz Josef in Court
To Fight for Share
OF Hapsburg Estates
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug, 17.-Haps-
burg is aligned against Hapsburg
in a court suit here involving the
royal family's ancestral estates in
Austria.
On the basis of a petition by
Archduke Franz Josef. the State
Supreme Court has tied up New
York property of Franz Josef's
brother, Archduke Anton. and the
latter's wife, Archduchess Ileana.
Franz Josef claimed in his petit
ton filed yesterday that Anton
and hsi wife had disposed of vari-
GUS castles. villas. hunting lodges
and forests in Austria, but had
failed to give him his share Of the
proceeds.
His share, he said, would
amount to $949. .999.99.
Attachment Granted.
He said he Is seeking to recover
this amount. but he asked a war
rant of attachment-which was
granted by the court-only for
100000 which he said his brother
and the latter's wife have in a
bank account here.
Franz Josef, who has lived here
of and on for 10 years. said in his
petition that when he came to this
country he gave power Of attorney
to his brother.
In 1910, he said. Anton turned
the power of attorney over to his
wife, and from then on Il knew
nothing of what was going on"
He later learned. he said, that
his brother and sister-i -in-law had
sold the famous and historic
castle Hernstein," worth about
81, 100000.
Charges Other Articles Sold.
He charged they also had taken
about 100000 worth of silver
ware, art works and other val
uables from the castle, sold $780,
900 worth of engravings and IS
other pieces Of property worth
s6oo,00O

wife now are living In Buenos

|UEW Officers 10 Take
Non-Communist Oath,
But 'Won'tLike II
By the Associoted Press

ELMIRA, N. Y, Aug. 17.-Pres-
ident Albert Fitzgerald of the CIO
United Electrical Workers says
that he and the other national
officers of the union will sign nom
Communist affidavits in a couple
of months"
But, Mr.. Fitzgerald told men,
bers of a UEW local last night,
1--WE won't like it"
The 600, 0,0OO-member UEW is
one of the last CIO unions whose
officers have held out against
signing the non- Communist oath.
Under the Taft-Hartley labor
law, unions may not use the serv-
ices of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board unless officers sign
the afidavits.
Addressing a meeting of Local
$40 last night, Mr.. Fitzgerald said:
"The members of the union who
think that all problems will be
solved by taking this oath will be
badly fooled"
Fight Seen With G. E.
Mr.. Fitzgerald predicted a knock
down fight between the union and
General Electric Co. in January.
A House Labor subcommittee
held hearings from July through
October last year in New York,
Washington and Schenectady, N.
Y, into alleged communist inf1u-
ences in the UEW.
In a report last December. the
subcommittee said Communists
had seized control of the electrical
unions national Offices, the execu-
tive board, the paid staff, the un-
ion newspapers and a number Of
its districts and locals.
The report said that the large
body" of the unions membership
were "loyal Americans but they
are under Communist control"
In addressing Local 80, Mr..
Fitzgerald said that the unions
national officers expected General
Electric ito try to scrap" the UEW
contract.
G. E. Rejects Demands.
He said General Electric officials
have treated UEW officers with

OF Reich Lies in Hope
For End Of Cold War
By the Associated Press

BONN, Germany, Aug. 1.-THE
probable first chancellor Of the
new West German state says the
future of Germany lies in the
"hope that the sharp contrasts
between the United States and
Soviet Russia will be smoothed
out"
DR.. Konrad Adenauer, 73-year-
old chairman of the Christian
Democratic union. victors in last
Sundays parliamentary elections,
made the statement yesterday in

loting.
DR.. Adenauer said economic
cooperation between Eastern and
Western Germany would depend
on Russian Communism and
American private enterprise find
ing way to live together.
But not at our expense" he
added.
Can't Collaborate With Reds.
In the meantime. he declared.
at is impossible" for the West
German Republic "to collaborate
with any area dominated by the
Russians.
Eastern Germany constitutes
for us the foremost and most diff
cult question" he added. I'VE
must move very cautiously. We
ought not to give the impression,
either in Germany or in the
United States, that we shall COL
laborate in any way with the Rus
SLAMS"
I'VE cannot allow the people Of
Eastern Germany to feel that we
have given them up. However, I
have the firm hope that we shall
be joined together eastern and
Western Germany some day."
The conservative political leader
said the new government will
have to re-examine" the problem
of Allied dismantling Of German
industrial plants. a hot subject IN
the election campaign.
To Probe Dismantling Need.
1--WE must try to solve this ques-
ton without too much narrow
mindedness and too much stub
bornness," he declared.
DR.. Adenauer said the German
Parliament will be asked to in
ouire into the need for disman-
ting some $50 plants still sched-
uled to be destroyed because they
represent potential war plants.
On the domestic front. DR.. Ade-
nauer said the solution OF the
housing problem lis the first real
duty" of the republic. He asserted

family a home owner"
DR.. Adenauer, whose party cap
tured 139 of the 400 seats in the
new Parliament, is expected to be
named chancellor, with the sup
port of other right-wing parties.

1948 WORLD SERIES FILM
SHOWN

AS the feature of the Friday
night educational program at the
Westside Boys Club, Ed DeForest,
sports announcer for radio station
KRUX, showed the 1948 World
Series Baseball film at the club
last Friday.
Mr.. DeForest also talked to the
boys about the progress that has
been made by Negroes in the major
and minor baseball leagues and
those who were far-sighted and
courageous enough to give them
a chance.
The speaker predicted that what
has already happened is just the
beginning and that right thinking
people are coming to realize that
segregation and discrimination are
not doing our democratic preaching
any good.
The Westside Seniors seemed de-
termined to continue the winning
streak that the Westside teams
have been having and so to in
sure that they nosed out the Senior
team of the Eastside Club by a
score of 26 to "a. It was a close
contest from the start to finish
and until the last minute of play
it was anybody's game.

u. S. Consumers Still
Manage To Eat Well

Per capita food consumption in
the United States during the 1947-
1948 period was somewhat lower
than for a yea rearlier, but still
IA per cent above the pre-war av-
erage, according ito Howard R.
Baker, assistant director of the Ag-
riculturl Extension Service at the
University Of Arizon.
Most of the decline in food con-
sumption from the previous year
was due to a reduction of available
supplies of some livestock products,
Baker says on the basis of USDA
reports. Except for meat, decreases
in consumption were apparently
due to consumer choices in use of
purchasing power rather than short
supplies.
Food consumed in greater guam
tity in 1947-48 than in the preced-
ing fiscal year were evaporated
milk, dried milk, sugar, eggs, lard,
margarine, shortening and other
edible fats and oils. Decreases in
consumption compared with 1876
1947 were indicated for wheat and
corn products, rice, butter, cheese,
fluid milk and cream, meat, pota-
toes, dry edible beans and peas,
fresh and processed fruits and veg
etables, peanuts, and miscellaneous
other foods.
Comparisons with 1945-46 indi-
cate increases in average United
States civilian consumption of rice,
most fats and oils, some manufac-
tured dairy products, sugar. dry
beans and peas, eggs, and fresh and
proceSsed fruits. On the other hand
less cereal products, butter, meats,
fluid milk and cream, potatoes and
sweet potatoes, fresh and processed
vegetables, peanuts, and miscel-
laneouS other foods were consumed.
In contrast with average prewar
consumption (1935-39), civilians
consumed in 1947-48 more of each
type of food except wheat products,
rice, butter, shortening and other
edible fats and oils, potatoes and
sweet potatoes, sugar, and dry edi-
BILE beans and peas.
Also, u. S. civilians took about
IS per cent of the total supply of
food distributed in 1947-48. For
meat, the u. S. distribu t i o n
amounted to 81 per cent of the
total U. S. supply.

Carver Opposes
Phoenix Union
And Buckeye
MOnarcS Lead West
Central District

|
The Carver Monarchs close their
current home basketball schedule
this weekend, opposing the Phoenix
Union High School Coyotes Friday
night at the P. u. H. S. gymnasium
in an intra-city clash and return
ing to the Carver gym Saturday
night to entertain the Buckeye
Hawks in a West Central Class B
league contest.
The Coyotes have already clinched
the sity title for the second year
in row; but their battle with the
Carver quintet renews a feud which
terminated last year at Tucson in
the semi-finals of the state basket
ball tournament, when the Coyotes
clinched second place in the state
by defeating the "Cinderella West
Central Champions, 47-39. The
Monarchs, a week earlier had
captured the Conference crown by
upsetting North Phoenix, conquer
ers Of Phoenix Union, 1871, in the
district finals.
This year, Carver with only one
returning letterman, Willie Kemp,
took several non-conference losses
before climbing to their present
position of first place in the West
Central District with seven vic
ories against one conference team.
The Coyotes, in the mean time,
are holding down number three
spot in their stronger Class A
league, and are favored to shade
the Monarchs owing to comparative
scores by way of North Phoenix
and Ajo. The picture looks much
brighter for the underdog Carver
basketeers, however, when one con-
siders the Glendale Cardinals as
the basis for comparison. Carver
barely lost to the Cards, 50-46,
shortly before Christmas, while the
Coyotes split two games with Glen
dale, losing the first engagement
by only one point and winning the
second by bare two-point margin.
On Saturday night, the Monarchs
are favored to slap the Hawks
probably by considerable margin
Last year at Buckeye, the Mon
archs barely shaded the Hawks,
50-46, and the Hawks have virtu-
ally the same team. At Saturdays
game at Carver, the parents of the
basketball team members and
cheering squad personnel will be
honored with special music by H
F. Edwards pep band.
Probable starting lineup for the
Monarchs for both games are: John
Wesson and Bertrand Russell, for
wards; Waldo Porter, center; Cap
tain Willie. Kemp and Calvin Wat
kins or Earnest Walker, guards.
Carl Hammons, Jesse Jackson,
Hadie Reed and Houston Turner
all regulars, have been ill and out
of action during practice sessions
this week, but will probably be
called upon for both the Phoenix
Union and Buckeye games. The
customary game between h e
Junior Varsities will begin both
evenings at 700 Pm.

Letters to The Editor

Dear Editor,
I have in the last eight or ten
months been making some careful
notes of the Negro enterprises in
and around Phoenix to determine
what are the causes of such busi-
neSSes being below par, before l
publicly relate my findings.
From taking sort of inventory
of such things, have found that
there are two hotels, several room
ing houses, and the Monroe Courts,
perhaps several other places which
am not aware of, for our groups
to live and stay in for shelter. And
where as, it's not the writer's aim
to criticize or find fault with those
who manage such places, but 1t
does seem that these places could
be in better condition.
1 have adopted Arizona for my
home state and Phoenix is my
choice of all places which l have
lived in and this being true,
hate to be told by strangers who
happen to fall in our city from the
East or North that Phoenix has
no Accommodations for the Negro
people," To my knowing I have
met more than a half dozen
persons from Ohio, Michigan and
Massachusetts this winter and one
by one these remarks have been
made.
From the criticisms made by
these winter visitors these places
mentioned could improve their
services by 100 percent.
l am in hopes of seeing the time
come when the Colored people will
build for themselves first class
build for themselves all first class
coming from other cities can look
upon with pride. AS I write this
I am wondering if we have enough
business thinking men and women
of our group who would dare ven
ture on such a task?
This is where the southern Negro
has it on the Negroes of Arizona
as you can find most any type of
business in the South among them.
1 wonder if we are becoming too
dependent on others why we don't
improve our conditions or is it a
ghost that prevents us from doing
something commendable for our
race here in Arizona?
