Some of the out-of- step marchers
in the inaugural parade were not
aware of it yesterday, but they were
being prodded along by q small
group of unseen Army officers to
take 100 steps, each 80 inches long,
every minute.
That was the pace stepped off by
the Army Band and the crack cere-
monial platoon of the 3rd Infantry
Regiment at the head Of the parade,
and it was the pace which the
working" marshals insisted on
maintaining throughout the 2 hours
and IS minutes of the procession.

Contract Breach
Suits Valid In
Convenant Cases

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - amp
- The Missouri Supreme court de-
cided here last week that property
owners who sell to Negroes in a ra'
cially restricted area can be. sued
for breach of contract. The court
made this ruling in four suits over
real estate in Kansas City which
had been sold or rented to Negroes
in an area formerly tenanted exclu-
sively by Whites.
The state court acknowledged the
U. S. Supreme court ruling that real
estate agreements not to sell or
lease property to persons Of a par
ocular race are not enforceable IN
courts. but said:

African Brides
Bought On Credit
During Drought

KENKELBOSCE, South Africa -
IANP) - The current season Of
drought has brought into operation
a system of credit buying of wives
among the natives here. Under tri-
bal custom, prospective husbands
must pay a certain number of cattle
to the brides parents before they
can embark upon a matrimonial
venture.
This entails transfer of stock from
his farm to her. However, with
scarcely any grazing for their own
use, farmers have none to spare for
extra cattle and permission to pas
ture them is often refused.
With no desire to postpone the
marriages indefinitely parents are
giving the brides away on credit.
Payments are to be made when
times improve.
