Steamship compony ExpIoins New Permit System

In order to cut down excessive wharfage and trucking costs ai its terminal at pier i2 in Seattle the Alaska Steamship Company has instituted a new permit system of booking freight on its vessels. In a general letter 10 all shippers the steamship explains this system and its procedures in relation to individual shippers.
 Four classifications have been made to insure a minimum of time lost and to make sure the freight is shipped on the vessel desig- mated.

Should Have Permit Number

l. Concerns making occasional shipments but not having own fa- cilities for delivery: These shippers should secure Shipping Permit number from the permit desk for each shipment. This may be ob- tained by phone. Shipping clerks should be prepared to give us the names of consignee. general de- scription, approximate weight and measuremnt of shipmnt They will be given permit number, name of vessel, and dates on which the freight may be delivered. Shipping permit number should be put on bill of lading. They should then turn the shipments over to their drayage company along with the above information. Drayage con- pany can then arrange with permit desk for delivery time.
 2. Shippers who use their own equipment for delivery: These shippers will be given both per init and delivery time at once. Shipping clerks should be prepared to give permit desk name of con- signee, destination, approximate weight and measurement of ship ments. In the case of several small shipments to various consignees at one port, a permit will be issued to cover the aggregate amount to that port. Shipments of ten tons or over, to one consignee. however, will have to be covered by ,individ- ual permit.
 Must Have Shipping Information
 3. Drayage companies hauling for various shippers: IL is suggest ed that drayage companies should not undertake delivery to our ter minal until shipper has first se- cured shipping permit number and other necessary shipping informa- tion. DispatcherS can then call our permit desk and by supplying per init number and vessel can be as signed a mutually convenient time for delivery.

HOSTING huge head
into place is tricky
TAsr year people living along the route BE-
IL tween Providence, R. l., and Baltimore,
Md, were treated to rather unusual sight -
two enormous generals, mounted on gigantic
horses, passing by in 22-foot trailer. The
generals, dressed in Civil War uniforms, were
complete in every detail. except that they
were minus their heads.
The explanation was simple: the Gorham
Company's bronze foundry in Providence had
just completed casting the heroic double
equestrian statue of Stonewall Jackson and
Robert E. Lee, by Laura Gardin Fraser, des-
tined for spot opposite Baltimore's Museum
ofArt. Tho II, 500 pound mass lowered to
height of Is feet - too high to negoti-
ate the overhead bridges en- route. The
only solution was decapitation. The headless
heroes made the trip successfully, were reas-
sembled on the spot by Gorham experts.
The l7-foot. three-inch statue of the
Masonic George Washington, tallest heroic
ever cast by the Gorham foundry, presents
similar problem. In order to get it through
the doors of the National Memorial Associa-
tons building in Alexandra, Va, the statue
will be shipped in large sections. to be joined
on the site.
kincela's Beard
LIFE in bronze foundry is full of such head
aches. When statue of Abraham Lincoln is
to be cast. Superintendent Julius Ferari is
sure to want to know if it's with or without
whiskers. Such intricate sculptural detail as
Lincolns beard or the tail of Phil Sheridan's
horse presents special challenge.
To do good job of reproduction for
sculptor. you've got to have the feeling that
you're creating with your hands, too," Fer
rarl says. "A real molder has that feeling"
Ferrari is short and wide and powerful. He
has worked in foundries all his life. None of
them were quite like the one in Providence. a
tremendous place with high roof. Sur
rounded by roaring furnaces and colossal
bronze figures in various stages Of COM
Pletion, workers appear snome-like.
Some even seem ghoulish - for example,
when carrying statesman's leg for welding
rendezvous with his torso.

1881, originally specialized in the no,nufar

Jackie 'Ball
Player Of the
Year,

In the issue of Look magazine
released today, Jackie Robinson,
c~urcurrently cavorting with the
Brooklyn Dodgers in Cincinnati,
was hailed as the "ball player of
the year." This is Robinson's
second honor in the last month,
for the Sporting News gave him
that rating on the basis of his
mid-season record.
Look compares Jackie with Ty
Cobb, pointing out five things
which the two have in common:
"He known how to study the move
ments and play the weaknesses,
mechanical and mental, of the
other team. He has the unerring
instinct for the right move. He
has a quick start. He can look
behind him on the bases without
losing speed. He is a clever slider"

Register Before
October 10

All persons who have just come
to voting age, who have changed
their name thru marriage Or thru
the courts, or who have not reg
istered to vote before, should, by
all means, do SO between now
and Octorber 10. This must be
done in order to vote in the gen.
eral elections in November.
Registration takes place at the
Board of Elections in the county
court house.
The Importance of registering
is being impressed on the voters
by many west end organizations.
1t has been pointed out that there
will be no Negro candidates in the
local elections. No Negro will be
on the city commission or the
board Of education ballots. 1t was
emphasized by spokesman for
several organizations that the
presence of the Negro demands
will be felt only by a large ell
ectorate in these presincts and
wards.
If the Negro in Dayton is to
get a "fair deal" he must exercise
the one democratic privilege he
has here, and that is the privilege
to vote.

Many tenants in this community
have complained ignorance of their
rights under the Federal Rent
Control Law, especially as amend
ed by the 81st Congress. Negroes,
particularly, are susceptible to
conniving landlords. To clarity
some of the confusion the DAILY
EXPRESS answer some of the
questions which generally trouble
tenants.
A tenant can find out if the
house in which he lives is subject
to rent control by calling HEmlock

tration statement (Form DDU). If
the tenant has no copy he may
ask the landlord for one. If the
landlord refuses to supply a copy,
the area rent office will supply
one.
Under the present rent law ten
ants in houses subject to the law
may not be overcharged in any
way. The landlord is not per-
mitted to increase the rent with
out authorization and he cannot
evict tenants illegally or hastily.
There are several types of over
charges which we will dwell on in
q second article tomorrow.
A tenant who discovers he is
being overcharged should report
the same to the Dayton area rent
control office, the above phone
number. If the tenant wishes he
may bring suit against the land-
lord, or let the government do it
for him. The landlord, if found
guilty, must repay up to three
times the overpayment plus attor-
ney's fees and court costs.
Automatic rent increases are
no
not permissible unless, in a few
cases the area rent director per-
mits it as a matter of course.

Denies Emperor
Hanging

LONDON-(ANP)- Members
Of the Ethiopian legation to Lon
don last week emphatically denied
that Emperor Halle Selassie had
ordered the hanging of leaders Of
a railway strike as reported recent
ly from Asmara, Eritrea Aug. Fl.
The allegedly erroneous report
stated that the men were being
hanged for injuring white Of
ficials of the Franco-Ethiopian
Railway company against whom
600 native railmen were striking.
According to the legation the
trouble had nothing to do with
the strike, but was the result of a
quarrel among employees of the
firm. The cause of the quarrel
is not known the legation said.
1t further pointed out that for
the emperor to order a hanging
without a trial would be uncon-
stitutional.
