Capacity Crowd
Attends Vets
Housing Rally

A capacity crowd turned out last
Sunday afternoon to the veterans
housing rally sponsored by Miami
Chapter No. 2, American Veterans
Committee, at the Youth Center,
$40 NV 18th ST., and heard some
very vital information on veterans
housing and the local rental situa.
ton in general.
Charles Chopper, an expert on
veterans affairs, and a member of
the staff of the Veterans Admins
tration, the first speaker to address
the group, advised the veterans on
the ways and means of overcoming
the many problems facing them in
acquiring home under h e
present veterans status. Choppers
speech was very highly Informative
and well received by the most ap-
preciatiye audience.
Max Goodman, president Of the
Miami Miami Beach Tenants League
spoke on the present rental situa.
ton in Dade County. He reminded
the group that attorneys for the Ten
ants League have already prepar-
ed a suit to test the constitutional
ty of the present rent decontrol laws,
that the suit is being delayed tenn
porarily pending some relief prom
issd local tenants in cases where
the rent increases have been very
high. and that if the relief is not
forthcoming soon, the suit will be
filed. Many experts have offered
opinions that the decontrol law is
unconstitutional, chiefly because it
was passed as local bill" on the
last day of the regular session of
the legislature without giving the
affected people the usual 30-days adj
vance notice and an opportunity to
have their say and further, be-
cause it calls for application to
counties with populations Of more
an $4,000, but is being applied
throughout the entire state. Dade
Is the only county IN this state that
las population of more than 315,-
OOG.
Goodman cited case after case Of
unwarranted rental charges on the
part OF some local landlords, and
Iromised immediate action toward
some relief for the many hard press
ed Negroes.
A lively question and answer peri.
cd followed both addresses.
Chairman Jefford G.. Smith of the
sponsoring organization presided and
Elliott j. Pieze introduced the speak
ers.

TOURISTS:
More Cultured

was coming in for a new type Of
treatment from his overseas hosts.
For instance. in Capetown. South

new tourist Is not the vulgar type
which used to invade Europe in
hordes. wearing horn-rimmed glass
es and loud clothes"
THIS new American Is well
bred. quiet. wealthy. but has the
familiar souvenir MANIA" said one
curio dealer. Zone bought every
thing I showed him. Is it genuine
Zulu?' he kept asking"
Then. the dealer added, 'he took
all my shields. assegais and bead
work. / had to call q ricksha to get
the stuff down to the ship. And
when he saw the ricksha, he wanted
to buy that" 49,
AMERICANS no doubt will palpi-
tate with pride at this new evalua-
ton Of their cultural level by those
abroad who profit most from tour
list business-but most will console
themselves with the fact that so
long as he has any money, the
American tourist will manage to
get along quite well wherever he
may be in Europe or elsewhere.

trouble again. He asked for a

Speaking of the Mighty John

young man who wanted to get

friend that he couldn't do it
without permission. "Why can't
I?" demanded the WouId-be
