premiered in New York April 9th,
Shrouded in complete secrecy,
this is the first Hollywood film
to be planned, written, cast and
produced in such secrecy. Actors
We're secured without agents, so
as to keep the production quiet,
And over 400 technicians involved
in the making of the picture kept
mum.
Stated Kramer: 1T was our in
tention to make an important en-
tertainment feature in its COM
pleted form without the usual at
tendant publicity, so that we would
be free of pressures, suggestions
and advice of those not connected
with its making. And we felt it
unnecessary to exploit the fact
that we were making picture
of complete reality.
Filmed at a modest cost of $525,
600, Home of the Brave is hear
ing a stream of Negro pictures
some modestly budgeted and
others pretty costly, depending on
the studio,

n. J. Town Reforms
As Landlord Gives
Tenants New Home

Morristown, N. J.-(CNS)-This
civic conscious town, has set out
to get rid of its ugly slums. First
subject of attack is a city owned
tenement at Water Street, which
is inhabited solely by Negro fami-
lies, A total of % people live in
this 2 story, SIS year old house,
which has just one toilet, and no
running water or heating plan,
Mayor Edward Mills, on ordering
its Building Inspector get estimates
for the improvements, said Nor
ristown must Immediately restore
this tenement in such a manner as
to reflect credit, rather than shame
on the town as landlord"

coUNTRy.s PockETBook

The Citizen published story few
days ago of the differing opinions Of Sena-
tors Taft and O'Mahoney about the cost of
living. Taft said prices were going down
but O'Mahoney declared they are going up.
Taft stated he saw no reason for passing
bill designed to curb initiation but
O'Mahoney commended that the Presidents
recommended legislation in that regard
shouldabe adopted.
Conflicting views of that nature leave
the public hanging by its eyelashes. How
ever, the Associated Press issued state
nient yesterday that proved the prices for
vegetables are lower in practically every
part Of the country.
As for meats, little change has oc-
cured in the last month or So Some meats
have decreased in price penny or so and
some have gone up slightly since the APPS
last report.
General opinion is that the next two
or three months will indicate definitely
what trend the cost of living is taking. It
could be asserted now without question
that prices of all commodities would fall
were it not for the vast amounts of food
stuffs that are being sent abroad under
provisions of the Marshall Plan with the
government in the market, the likelihood is
slight that there viii be any decided de-
crease in the cost of food as long as the
ERP is operated.
As to the Marshall Plan, reports from
Washington indicate that the administra-
ton will not get as much money as it has
asked for to continue the operation of the
plan for the next Is months. Some Demo-
Gratis and many Republicans are against
continuing the plan on SO high a scale as
at present.
Housewives may be sure that the cost
of living will come down decidedly when
no further stimulants are active in keep
ing up prices. The country's pocketbook is
still fat but the time is not far off when it
will be far from as bullying as it is at
present.

TWO STATES POINT THE WAY

Congratulations to the Michigan legis-
lnlgre for being the first this year to re-
peat the State ban on yellow margarine.
Congratulations also to the State legis-
lature Of Tennessee for lifting its 10 cents
per'pound tax imposed on yellow marga-
rlne. These legislatures have .acceded to
consumer wishes. thereby setting good
example for other legislative bodies which
are considering action on discriminatory
margarine taxation.
II u expected that Federal Congress
