House Unit 10 Quiz
u. ). Officials on Oil
Squeeze by Britain

A House Small Business SUBJ
committee intends to ask Govern
ment officials what they are doing
to protect interests of American
companies in the world petroleum
market, in the face of new British
restrictions on dollar petroleum
imports.
Representative Keogh. Demo-
crat, of New York, chairman of
the subcommittee, attacked what
he called the discriminatory
trade practices" of the British
and said Britain's dollar shortage
might not be the only reason for
them.
Sees Expansion Device.
In announcing yesterday that
his subcommittee will call Federal
officials, Mr.. Keogh said:
"It is quite possible that British
companies are using these dis
criminatory practices to expand
their operations in world oil mar
kets to cartel proportions; and
American companies, in order to
survive, may be forced to the posi-
ton Of having to accept cartel
agreements.
"Tne situation will not tolerate

conferees to passive resistance Of
British representatives"
May Close ECA Funds.
He suggested ECA funds made
available to Britain might be used
to squeeze American firms in the
world market and enhance the
position of companies in the ster-
ling bloc nations. Until the sub
committee has had opportunity
to question the Government Off
cials. "it is hoped that ECA will
not, in the face of this situation
approve the refinery expansion
program which is now before 1t
for consideration" Mr.. Keogh
added.
1T was never intended that as
sistance in Britain recovery would
in any manner contribute toward
the elimination of American COM
panies from competition in world
markets, thereby requiring them
to use domestic markets as a
dumping ground for their foreign
production" he commented.
Mr.. Keogh said the British de-
cision to clamp down on dollar
oil imports came while Anglo
American negotiations were in
progress and in the face of the
offer Of American firms to switch
to a non-dollar basis.

REPEAT PERFORMANCES
BY ELLIOTT j. PIEZE

Not that any one present serious
ly expected anything different, but
the action Of the Miami City Com
mission majority, at the special
emergency meeting called Wednes-
day to further consider the question
of slum clearance and low cost
housing for Miami and vicinity, may
be rightly classed as a repeat per-
formance." For repeat is exactly
what the Commission majority did
in the matter of voting down the
two proposals which would have re-
suited in Miami's slums being clear
ed and houses being built here, to
rent for prices which the average
working man can afford to pay, and
still have some money left with
which to take care of the many 9TH
err necessities Of life.
After more than five hours of
stormy debate during which time
reason upon reason was given, plea
upon plea was made, and the entire
facts were laid open ON the table
before them, all i'm a series of eff.
fOrtsfOrts by proponents of slum
clearance and low cost housing to
convince them that they should pass
the proposals, and relieve the age
old misery that has been prevalent
i'm the Negro district for many
years, the Commission majority -
that same majority which did so a
week previous that majority
which consists of Mayor William nj.
WOlfarth, and Commissioners Will
liam w. Charles and Louie Banded
- again combined and voted down
the proposals. And so for the Sec
Ond time i'm as many weeks, the Com
mission majority said, i'm effect-NO
we don't want our slums cleared,
and Move don't want low rental
housing for families of low income.
That's exactly what it meant last
week, and that's exactly what it
means this week. It's a repeat per.
Torrance, and it is much to the sad
regret Of a vast majority of the
people Of Miami and vicinity.
But the matter is far from finish
ed Since the majority Of our city
fathers could not or would not see
fit to pass the proposals, for the
greatest amount Of good for the
greatest number of people, it is now
necessary for other measures to be
taken in order to bring the MAORI
ty of our city fathers in line. To
that end, an initiative petition will
be circulated beginning this week,
In order to obtain the signatures of
10 per cent of the registered voters
of the city of Miami. After the nec-
essary number Of signatures has
been obtained, under the City Char.
ter, the Commission must either
pass the proposals or submit the
same to a public referendum of the
people. The first meeting on the mi
tiative was held Thursday night at
Bayfront Park. 1t got off to a good
start. and here's a prediction that
within a comparatively short time
the necessary number of signatures
Will be obtained and the Commits.
sion will be forced to do either one
thing or the other Since it is OBJ
vious that the majority will not
pass the proposals, the only course
teft open is a referendum vote.
which is going to cost the City of
Miami approximately $4,000 or
more to conduct. More about this
