pressure by now for daring tC
ignore the Academy's advance
condemnation of the meeting.
There were several newspa-
per reporters from both of the
Block papers, and they stayed
through the long question pc
riod.
What they heard about Ma
tional Health didn't get much
attention in their stories.
For instance, Mr.. Ewing went
into detail to explain how the
cost of National Health would
be infinitely lower under gov
ernment auspices. He said vol
untary non-profit group insur-
ance companies like Blue Cross
and Blue Shield have an over
head cost of 18 per cent, leav-
ing 81 per cent for benefits.
Commercial groups operate un-
der a 38 per cent overhead, he
said, leaving only 62 cents for
benefits. And commercial in
surance companies selling indi-
vidual policies operate under a
81 per cent overhead and have
only 80 per cent left for bene-
fits-"an outright swindle," Mr..
Ewing declared.
But the government having
no selling expense, no collect
ing expense, and no accounting
expense, would have an over
head of between 5 and z per
cent, Mr.. Ewing said.
I'VE already have the records
for 95,00O,000 people," said the
Federal Security Administrator.
"All we'd have to do is punch
another hole in the card. No
selling expense whatever. And
collecting expense would be
negligible as we already are col
lecting through taxes"
The national plan would col
lect l " per cent in payroll de-
ductions, and / IL per cent from
the employers, and give in ex-
change full family health COW
erage out of the $4,500,000 900
thus created, he said.
The "socialistic" label the
ANA and allied propagandists
have tried to pin on the bill was
brushed aside by Mr.. Ewing.
'"The ANA called the Blue Cross
socialistic fifteen years ago, he
said, "and it remains about fif
teen years behind progress right
along. We can't wait for them" F"

the meeting which began with

Spotlight On
Colored People
In London

By Rudolph Dunbar for AMP
Pandemonium reigned in Lon
don's Harlem : Tottenham Court
Road, the West End Of London,
where the Paramount Dance hall
is situated and which has become
the meeting place Of colored men
and white girls.
A short time age 60 police Of
ficers raided the hall in search Of
illicit drugs after it gained a no.
torious reputation. Four colored
men were charged and two white
girls, aged Is and 16, were charg-
ed with being in need Of care and
protection.
A 21-year-old African by the
name Of Jojoh Armah was charg-
ed with obstructing a policeman
by biting him on his thumb and
butting him in the mouth with
his head. Armah, asked by the ma
gistrate if he wished to put any
questions, said: "How would you
react if you were attacked brutal
ly by Africans in Africa?
Holding the collar Of his shirt
towards the magistrate he said:
"Look at me They beat me. My
handkerchief is all blood. They
beat me and kicked me-"
Trouble Arisen Over Colored
Mon Dancing With White Girls
Owners of the hall deny that
the raid had anything to do with
the decision to close the premises.
But the managing director admit
ted that trouble had arisen over
colored men dancing with white
girls.
"The girls brothers began to
complain about their young sisters
and the colored boys. They asked
me to bar the girls from admis-
sion" said the manager.
He continued:
1.-The fact is that while white
men will mix with colored men in
these enlightened days, they will
not share their women with them.
81 am sorry for the colored
boys, but there were not suffici-.
ent colored girls to 60 around as
partners for them.
The manager also agreed that
there had been trouble because
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1950-08-04

some girls frequenting the hall
were only Ia or Is years old.
"That wasn't our fault, he de-
clared. "Who can tell a girls
age? Some Of them made up to
look as old as 25". So Mecca,
Ltd, which owns ID dance halls
and 100 cafes in Britain, decided
to close it's London Harlem.
Cranky, said the manager,
81 am not in favor of colored men
and white girls dancing together.
You know what it can lead to and
so, although we did not mind the
colored people making the dance
hall their meeting-place, u hos
pitality must now end"
When the Paramount Dance
hall was newly erected, colored
people were not allowed within
the precinct Of the enclosure. At
ter a while the tone Of the hall
began to diminish and business
became dreadfully bad.
At this juncture the colored
boys were permitted to patronize
the hall and, they made the place
extremely popular and lucrative.
In so much that the manager re-
marked thus: "Their money is
just as good as any white PERSONS.
If they can bring business to the
establishment it pleases us ire
mendously'.
"And moreover, said the man
ager, "They are British.

"In Liberia they used to call
the dry season The hungry sea-
son." Rice was the basic grain,
but there just wasn't enough Of
it to go around. Some years ago,
we asked Governor Fuller War
ren's State Of Florida to release
q young County Agent named
Frank Pinder so he could give us
some help in Liberia. They agreed,
and so off he went, carrying in
his baggage a sack of corn, sew
eral hoes, and a shotgun. The shot
gun was for crows.
"Pinder taught the farmers in
Liberia to plant tomatoes and
green vegetables. He persuaded
the governmnt to put on a drive
to incrase rice paintings. He en-
couraged farmers to try cocoa as
a cash crop. Today, in part at
least as the result Of this one
mans efforts, there is nc hungry
season" in Liberia.
Crank Pinder is just one of
the many state officials who are

Judge Drops Webster Firm
From Gas Rate Battle

One objector to the November
order increasing gas rates here
yesterday was dropped from the
battle in District Court by Judge
Edward A. Tamm.
John G. Webster g. Sons, Inc,
627 F street NV, contending it
represented a large number of
consumers and gas appliance deal
ers here, fell under the judges
ruling.
That still left the Federation of
Citizens Association In the thick
of the fight against the rate boost.
The Webster firm meanwhile, still
was to have it's day in court against
the Washington Gas Light Co.. on
the question of whether the public
utility has a right to compete with
independent dealers in the gas ap-
pliance field.
Both the Webster company and
the citizens group came before
Judge Tamm yesterday in parallel
actions against the Public Utili-
ties Commission. Both challenged
the rate increase grant on a charge
the commission was illegally con-
stituted.
The judge held, however. that
Webster failed to take the appeals
steps afforded by the District Gov
ernment before coming into court
with the complaint.

A,531,2OO Anacostia
Flood Control Project
Approved by Senate

A long-range, $4.531 200 pro-
gram for elimination of floods in
the Anacostia River was approved
late yesterday by the Senate.
The item, already passed by the
House, was approved by the Sem
ate in the omnibus 81 billion flood
control bill now in conference.
Since the Anacostia project is not
in dispute between the two houses,
it is expected to become law.
The Senate also approved a Is
year program for elimination OF
water chestnuts between Key
Bridge and Maryland Point, 48
miles downstream, at a cost Of
$4,000. a
The measure would authorize a
wide variety of river and harbor
projects throughout the country,
but it must be followed by an ap-
preparation before the work can
be done.
The Anacostia River project in
wolves two features: Dredging of
a navigational channel and flood
control installations at Bladens-
burg, Edmonston, Riverdale. Hy-
attsville, Brentwood, Cottage City
and Colmar Manor.
Army engineers estimate the
program would eliminate about 95
per cent of the flood damage in
the communities. especially in
Bladensburg. The latest flood
damage at Bladensburg occurred
during storm on March %, when
lat inches of rain fell.

Aktiebolaget Bofors. famed
Swedish armament makers, today
sought 81 million damages from
the United States Government,
charging violation of a contract
that granted this country manu-
featuring rights to 40-millimeter
Bofors guns.
Bofors contended it gave the
United States manufacturing and
use privileges to its guns and
secret processes on an exclusive"
basis in June. 1941.
But because this country sub
sequently shipped 40-mm. Bofors
guns virtually all over the world
in connection with its foreign aid
programs. the Swedish company

fense Assistance Act of 1949.
Bofors says its protests to this
Government started in December
1941, and have fallen on deaf ears
ever since.
The company asks District
Court to declare that the United
States may transfer the rights in
volved in the contract and to
order this country to halt the
practice.
The court also is asked to order
the Navy Department. which ac-
tually signed the contract with
Bofors. to submit the whole dis
pute to arbitration, as specified
