Another angle in the statement
ofthe husband of the murdered
victim who denied knowledge of
the slayer or the man who said
he came to his home Friday dur

Added to that angle is the state

there was a poker game in session
in which Stevens had "been taken"
for a large amount of cash and
after trying to borrow some
money in an attempt to get back
u
into the game was refused. This
followed with a series of vile
language and led to the eviction
Of Stevens from the party by the
husband, Frank Dunlap. When he
returned some time later, he was
met by Dunlap at the front door
and after disarming him. Dunlap
told him not to come back.
According to a statement from
the prosecutors office. Stevens
will be chargd with first degree
murder.

hard core of seriousness. He un-
derstood more than most men, the
hardships and burdens of the
downtrodden. And in his way, he
was determined to soften them.
This he did, as those who knew
him and who were aided by him
will say today and many, many
a day yet to dawn. His was a
generous spirit, for he never knew
the casting Of a real aspersion on
anyone.
But most that will be remem-
bered Of himeis the profusion of
life which seemed to explode as
out of a capsule whenever he en-
tered a roomful of people. A
boisterous greeting, a witticism;
those were the characteristics
which endeared him to so many.
And his infinite energy, that law

Demands
Priority for FEPC
Measure


BALTIMORE CAMPO A da-
mand that Congress put the FE-
PC bill at the top Of it's calendar
for the 1850 session was made
here last week by the national
board Of Americans for Democra-
tic action during it's two-day
quarterly meeting here last week.
the ADA urged Congress to make
a definite record" on civil rights
legislation.
"Action on an FEPC bill is
necessary to let the people know
where their representative stand"
the board said, "and blamed Re-
publicans and "a substantial num-
Der of Democrats" for the failure
Of Congress to act on such mea-
sures during the last session.
I'm judging the record of our
national legislators, we cannot
but regard silence or equivocation
on this issue as a vote against it."

Taylor, both of Roxbury's Ward

of the pencil, which allegedly
marked the ballot originally in
tended for Banks, with the incum-
bent Councillor Daniel F. Sullivan.
Malachy F. Carey, the bearer
of the pencil, lives across the
street from Sullivan, it was reveal
ed in court testimony. Mr.. Carey
was cautioned to put away a
pencil while calling ballots to a
checker in Precinct 5 on election
night. Moreover, when he took up
the pencil again, Mrs. Taylor
testified that she took it from him
and threw it across the room.
Even under cross-examination by
Attorney William F. A. Graham,
counsel for Sullivan, she did not
deviate from her story.
Counsel for Sullivan sought to
delay court action by filing a de-
murrer. The demurrer was based
on an 1899 provision of the city
charter which says that the city
council shall be the sole judge of
the election and qualification of
it's members. However, Judge Ba-
ker refused to rule onthe demurrer
and said he would grant a full
hsaring to Banks. Judge Baker
told Graham, @Your might not

Australians Studying
2Projects 10 Supply
Britain With Meat

CANBERRA, Australia, June 5
(CDN. Two schemes to make
Australia the butcher shop" for
meat-starved Britain are under
way in this land down under"
BY far the most ambitious is
the Anglo Australian plan to de-
velop Australia's far North for
large-scale cattle raising. It's cost
Is estimated at 100000, 900.
The second plan is a $4,000, 900
pig-raising project at Peak Downs,
Queensland. It's aim is to provide
Britain with 100000 pounds of
pork each year, as well as vege-
table oils.
Both projects, of course, will
take years to develop and nobody
expects Australian beef exports to
rise for at least another four
years.
Meat Pact Cited.
Chief reason is the very magni-
tude of the job Britain and Aus
tralia are tackling under their
new 15-year meat agreement.
Biggest task facing the two
governments is providing watering
points and water storage facilities
in a region noted for its lack of
them.
The underdeveloped Northern
Territory needs roads, railroads,
transport, slaughter yards and
treatment works. The area is also
the home of pests which cost the
beef industry $38,000,000 a year
in losses.
Cattlemen also have to come
into the reckoning. Unless Brit
aims price is right, they say, they
see no benefit to them to build up
their herds. AS yet, Britain hasn't
announced what it will pay.
Project Is Pressed.
But while the beef program is
still in the planning stage. the
Peak Downs project is going ahead
fast.
Already 10000 of its 262, 900
acres are planted with sorghum
for fodder. Ultimately it is hoped
to increase this acreage to almost
100000.
Through a food corporation.
Britain and the Queensland state
government both stand to profit
from the scheme.
But probably the biggest gain to
Australia from both the pig and
beef projects is ultimate develop
ment of vast areas of heretofore
idle land.

The home-owner who Is inter-
fested in flowers and potted plants
for his sun parlor or porch, has
probably envied some of the elab-
orate flower stands shown in the
smart magazines on many occa-
sions.
He may think the building of
a simple window box for flowers
is not too much of a job but might
hesitate to attempt some of the
excellent stands he has seen.
AS a matter of fact, very good
and excellent stands can be made
with little difficulty if you know
how to go about the job. and take
your time with it. Three tier flow-
er stands for which you might
we'll pay $25 or $50 can be made
by any handy may kout of plain
wood shelving. heavy wire-guard
mesh and white enamel paint.
Once you have made one Of
these stands, you will probably
make another. and for pure adorn-
ment in sun parlor or screened-in
porch, they cannot be duplicated.
If you want to start with, a

try a stand three feet high and
two feet deep at the bottom shelf

Don't Let the Painter Snub Your Walls
By GIodys Miller

Secretary, New York Chapter, institute oi
American Decorators.
Spring and fall are the two ira
ditional house cleaning seasons In
our land. And when a house is
to be cleaned, Mrs. Homemaker
invariably finds one or two rooms
that need a new coat of paint.
In a recent survey, women said
they like to paint their rooms
every three years. Because of
space and money, the rooms in
the house are staggered. So each
year and each season at least one
room tries on new dress.
:, We are becoming a color-con-
scious people. How can we avoid
color when beautiful color COM
binations are presented in nearly
every magazine and in two movies
out Of every three? Nature hasn't
done 50 badly either, if we take
the time to see the subtle and ex-
quisite combinations.
But seeing beautiful colors and
Interpreting them into actual
rooms. with the colors for walls,
woodwork, floors and furniture
carefully selected to harmonic
pleasingly, are two different proc
eSSeS.
Cartoonists love to make the
particular woman who knows the
color she wants look ridiculous
when comforting with her painter.
But don't make fun too quickly.
You never know when the color
bug will bite you. and when 1t
does, you'll understand.
Also. until recently it was diff
cult for Mrs. Homemaker to know
how to tell the painter exactly
what colors she wanted, and I'm
sorry to say the painter didn't
help too much. Usually the job
has been estimated by the con-
tract painter and Mrs. Home
makers husband. There has been
no discussion of matching q color
"a special job. The price quoted
was for q minimum paint-quickly-
set-out-quickly job. Now the
painter Is caught between his boss
and Mr.. and Mrs. Homemaker.
He doesn't like it.
1t Is now possible for Mrs.
Homemaker to select the color she
wants for each room and then
have the paint contractor esti-
mate his costs on this basis. One
paint company has II different
colors from which to choose. These
colors include lovely pastels and
the rich, dark shades so popular
today.
Remember that a color will ap-
pear about three shades darker
when 1t is applied to a large wall.
Moreover, any homemaker can
prepare room for the painter and
save time, which will put him in a
good mood.
II possible. everything should be
taken out Of the room. II this
can't be done, then place a blanket
and some newspapers on a table
and stack everything fiat on top
Of them. Remove all small break
able items to some other room.
Have the rug rolled or the car
pet covered. Then the painter can
place his drop cloth with little
difficulty.
If you desire to rearrange your
room, have all picture hooks re-
moved and then you can rear
range in a new pattern on clean
painted walls.
The fall season is one good sea-
son to paint, and the beautiful
new colors available are just so
many excellent reasons for taking
ADVANTAGE of it.
