He said Capital Transit could

on the company. Mr.. Giddingk
said, 1t would have no alternative
but TO ask the Public Utilities

round OF fare increases.
The $500 Capital Transit en-
ployes got their last raise in Oc-
tober. l947. when an arbitration
board voted them q i5-cent-an-
hour increase plus an additional
5 cents In fringe benefits retroae-
tive to July OF that year.
Capital Transit President Z. d.
Merrill at that time said the pay
raise wiped out the companys net

recommended by Superintendent
of Schools, Robert French, to the

NEW YORK, July 18. - The
scorers at the All-Star baseball
game have reversed a decision
made during last Tuesdays con-
test between the National and
American leagues. They have Civ
en- fisrt baseman, Johnny Mize,
Of the New York Giants, an error
previously charged to third base
man, Eddie KAYAK, Of the St. Louis
Cardinals. The misplay took place
in the first inning and enabled
the American leaguers to score
four unearned runs.
KAYAK fielded a ground ball hit
by George Kell of the Detroit Tig-
ers. The throw to Mize was low.
1t was believed the peg went into
the dirth. But when it was reveal
ed that the throw did not bounce
toward Mize, the National league
first sacker was charged with the
miscue. By the revised decision,
KAYAK is given an assist in the
box score.
A quick look at the pitching rec
ords shows that nine major lea
guers have won at least 10 games
SO far this year. Vic Raschi of the
New York Yankees, is tops with
13 victories. Other big winners in
the American league are Alex

Bomb Dropped in
CHICAGO Defender Press

CHICAGO, July Is. (ANP)-A home made mustard
gas bomb was thrown into the Chicago Defender press
room early Friday morning during the final press run.
Defender officials limited that the printers strike now in
it's second year may be the cause of the attack.
One press man, Melvyn Granger, %, was felled by
the gas, and 10 others were routed. Granger was rushed
to the Michael Reese hospital. Workers finished their jobs
while wearing gas masks.

In the meantime a 24-hour po-
lice guard has been placed on duty
at the newspapers plant. A spokes-
man for the newspaper said this
incident probably was the climax
of a number of threatening notes
sent to various officials concern
ing the printers strike at the
plant.
Chairman Llyod Johnson of the
Defender chapel" of Local 16,
Of the Typographical union when
quizzed on the bombing said:
81 have no statement to make
because l know nothing about it."
He did not elaborate.
Chicago printers of Local 16
have been on strike against the
Defender and all four of the city's
white dailies for more than 10
months. Pickets patrol the front Of
all five newspapers daily. The
strike began December 6, 1947,
at the Defender when so printers
and other empolyes walked out.
The newspaper spokesman added
that the next possible attack TAX
en- against the paper might be the
clogging of the presses unless
heavy police protection is main
tanned. t

tive Drew Brown of the police de-

The mayor reacted as he ShOu 1
have, he planned to take imme..-
late action to relieve the critical
housing shortage in the city. In
m%ediately all the restrictive cove
nant boys raised bowls of protest.
"There is no shortage of housing
in Dayton" they screeched. Some
howled, "The plan is not realistic"
These objections emanated from
such persons as Andrew Iddings,
chairman of the Dayton Metropcl-
itan Housing authority, and Stan
ley Swango, president of the
Montgomery County Builders as
ISOLATION. These are the men and
organizations that have been try
ing desperately to raise rent cell
ings in Dayton.
To say that there is no need
for public housing in Dayton is
not sheer stupidity nor is it being
ridiculous. 1t is indulging in the
lowest form of hypocrisy. The
small wage in Dayton, of
which there are many, are ur-
gently in need of some low cost
housing. AS everyone knows who
lives, or just passes through the
congested West Side ghetto the
shortage is critical.
A public housing program would
be most welcome to the citizens
of the town, that is, those citi-
zens who do not benefit from the
shortage of dwellings. Negroes
should be included in any housing
program, of course.
Again we plead with church,
civic and ~fraternal leaders to ex-
press themselves and their follow
ers on this matter. Write con-
gresham Breen at the House Of
flee Building in Washington, ..
c., or at his Dayton office. Urge
him to use all his influence in
getting a public housing program
for Dayton. Write or call on Mayor
Lohrey. Urge him to do the same.
