Here's What John T. Bills, Herald Real
Estate Editor said in Sundays Miami
Herald about Richmond Heights:
"The time has come to tell the
world about Richmond Heights, one of
the most unusual Negro subdivisions in
Florida if not the whole country, IA
miles southwest of Miami.
1t is the story of Negro commun-
ity which has grown from the first
Scrape of bulldozer blade in January,
1850, into shiny new subdivision of
ATS homes and some 2,100 residents in
about 16 months.
Foundations are now being cut for
275 more homes. And the developers
say they've a waiting list of Negroes
who want to buy in this community of
wide streets, sidewalks and modern
homes"

The men of the American
Legion fell out for the Parade of
Armed Forces night, along with
the VFW and the women from
both auXiliaries where they made
an impressionable showing. Both
the Commanders were proud of
the showing of their individual
units, and also hope that in the
future there will be more of the
comrades, and members of the
auxiliaries to turn out. Captain
Charles Major received the tro-
ply at the park from Vance Stir
rup, that was to be presented to
the Honor Guard for their prize
winning in Tampa April 81. Due
to the absence of Dist. Comman-
der Reese, two weeks ago, the
trophy was formally presented
along with the rest at the Bayview
Park Saturday night at the band
concert. The Legion Auxiliary
also had a few visitors at their
meeting. The members were very
happy to have them and hope
that they will come again soon.
The commanders spoke of
things concerning the ladies of
that unit. Commander-elect
Phillip Sears for 1852, made few
brief remarks also. Commander
Irving Carey said he was proud
of the way his auxiliary re-
sponded, and hopes to see them
out in full strength again in the
future. The men also wish 1t.
Wilfred Wallace a speedy recov-
cry.

Here's what Charles B. Forbes, Miami
Daily News real estate editor says In
connection with Richmond Heights:
"In the opinion of this writer this
development is outstanding for several
reasons. First, it is a community of men
and women who wanted homes and
are willing to work for them. Second,
the developers steered away from the
project" which has become so common
in Dade County for both Whites and
Negroes. Third, the developers planned
community, with provisions for
schools, parks, recreation center and
churches when the residents are ready
for them. Fourth, the developers built
real houses which will compare favor
ably with any of the postwar devel-
opmentS in the county.

low the girls at discreet distances to

involvement with a former showgirl.

explosive story of corruption which
rocked the entire county. The

agent learned that the druggist
was plying a fourishing mar

a. gambling house with the con-

New Uses For
 Bislnluth Revealed

. r "A < .
 Fitzpatrick Electric Supply Co.,, 444 Irwin St., Muskegan, Mich, announces the successful produc- tion of ductile bismush wire and ribbon which permits engineers to make useful applications of material possessing unique cleo trical properties. s' &'~ A While all the electrical a n d physical properties of bismuth were known at the turn of the century, no research was possible. Therefore, no practical use was developed by industry because there was no known way to use bismuth commercially, due to its brittleness and its lack of tensile strength.
 The company claims to have overcome these difficulties to a large extent. They have bismuth ductile enough to wind on its own diameter at room temperature, or about 70' F. However, its tensile strengh is low-has to be handled with care-that it, not subjected to a strain exceeding its tensile strength. Keeping this in mind, it is possible to wind coils, make

CAP Cadets Hold Benefit
 Dance Tonight

The Civil Air Patrol Cadet unit has been active since January 01 this year. The purpose of the cad cts is to organize a reserve of young people who will be ac- quainted with and trained in the relationships of flying. The pre- scribed course of study includes military drill, dadio operation and maintenance, meteorology, theory of flight, map reading, and other aspects concerned with organised flight. In the event of an emer- gency they would act primarily as an auxiliary to the Army Air Force, if necessary. ', s:'''
 Secondarily, they would be used by the civilian defense organiza- ton as radio operators, observers, or in any aspect in which they could serve, especially in those operations concerning flights such as rescue missions, etc.
 . Because of the limited facilities here,s it will be difficult to train the unit to any great degree of excellence in some fields; how ever, the aim of the personnel in- volved is to train the cadets to as high a degree as is possible at this time.
 The organization is entirely vol untary and is sponsored by the Army Air, Force. Each cadet is re- quired to have a uniform bearing the CAPC insignia. This results in a considerable financial strain, es-. pecially for the girls who canot use the discarded "GI" uniforms as the boys are doing. Therefore, the unit, as whole, is attempting to raise money to, help those who

Governor Signs Three More Bills

JUNEAU, P)- Three major bills passed by the recent 20th Alaska legislature were signed into law today by Gov. Gruening. They provide for reorganization of the Territory's financial set-up, appropriations of $19,544,136 for operating the government in the next two years, and 5 cent tax per pack on cigarets.
 The reorganization bill, in ef- feet, provides for a territorial financial manager accountable to a revised Board of Administra- ton. It also eliminates the present elective offices of Alaska treas urer and auditor.
 The appropriations measure is the largest in the Territory's his tory. Heads of budget framing committees in the legislature esti- mated it would create a deficit of $2,0OO,000 at the end of the bien- nium.
 The cigaret tax, increased from 3 to cents a pack, was one of two new sources of revenue ap- proved by the lawmakers. The other was a 50% increase in the salmon pack levy.

Communists Counter-attack On 18th Parrellel
Friday. March 90. 1851 By the Associated Press


 Chinese Communists opened a major Korean counterattack for the first time in six weeks today.
 American big guns stopped the Reds dead in their tracks in the mountainous. Uijongbuy front, but the fury of Communist attacks forced Allied troops to give ground at several other points i'm the neighborhood of the 38th Par allel. ..g-.f
 The Communists threw their counter-attack at Allied forces on the western front. Doughboys spotted the Chinese moving along mountain trail north of Uijong- bu and forced them back with heavy artillery.
 The Americans seized a com manding hill with hand-grenade attack. There was bitter close range fighting in this western sec tor
 Patrol clashes flared all along the Korean front. The Reds moved 3O,O00 fresh troops into front lines on a 60-mile sector.
 Now that the United Nations troops have reacher the 38th Par allel, there was mounting evil dence that the, Communists had ended their six-weeks-old with drawal and were mounting heavy endorsements aimed at turning the tide of battle.
 The US. Eighth Army com- mand says the Reds can at any moment throw in nine rested or fresh army corps-some 270,000 men. If they do, it will be their most potent offensive of the war.
 AP Correspondent Jeff Brick son reported that Le. Gen. Mat thew B. Ridgway's Eighth Army is in the best position of the war to hold its own against the expec- ted Red onslaught.

April l is
 Local Deadline for OPS Controls

JUNEAU, (OPS),- April 1 is the deadline for bisiness estab- lishments to get their price lists set up in order to comply with the new price-control regulation, it was pointed out today by Fred G. Hanford, territorial director for the Office of Price Stabiliza- ton in Juneau.
 Definite steps must be taken by sellers of goods or services in order to comply. Hanford listed these important requirements:
 1. The seller must prepare and preserve statement showing the categories of commodities which he sold or offered for sale during the base period December 19 to January 25). Category" here means line of goods, such as mems clothing, infants wear, canned goods, cosmetics, etc.
 2. Sellers must preserve and keep available records showing the prices charged during the base period, together with invoices or other records showing the cost of the commodities. Freight and oth- CT laying-in charges are added to the invoice costs to determine total, or direct" costs of commo- dities. In figuring costs, all dis counts or other allowances must be deducted whether they were taken or not.
 3. The seller must prepare and preserve in his store a price list or all articles in each category which he sold or offered for sale in the base period, showing the dollar-and-cent mark-up he took on each article: This list must give the model, type, style and Identification of each article. If the seller is a retailer, he may mo- tate on his invoice the selling price of the article, in which case he will be considered to have complied with the act.
 4. It is to this dollar-and-cent markup the seller is frozen. He may passalong future increases in invoice or transportation costs only to the extent of the actual dollar-and-cent increase.
 5. If seller has followed a practice of allowing price conces- sions to different classes of buy CTS, he must prepare a statement showing such concessions or al- lowances. An example would be of quantity buying by an institu- ton, reduced rates to employees, etc. .:~ . Generally speaking, Hanford said, the regulation requires a seller to maintain the same dollar and mark-up he had before the freeze. If factory or transpor-

1haiIand King Makes
Army Coup Official
BY the Associated Press

BANGKOK, Thailand, Dec. T.
King Phumiphm Aduldet today
signed a royal proclamation which
legalized last weeks military coup.
A new government, dominated
by military officers. began emerg-
ing after Radio Bangkok reported
the news.
The royal proclamation ap-
proved restoration of the 1882
constitution and accepted the pro-
visional National Assembly ap-
pointed in the coup d'etat. The
King said some changes must be
made in the constitution, first
adopted when Thailand's abso-
Lutte monarchy was overthrown.
The military coup threw out a
constitution adonte~ - -otH
constitution was more royalist
than the 1882 one a--u j..
Endorsed by King Phumiphon.
Political observers have been
waiting to see if the 24-year-old
king might challenge the military
regime by refusing to issue the
royal proclamation.
Premier Pibul Songgram, who
was deposed temporarily by the
coup and then returned to the
premiership. was reported quietly
organizing his new government to
include much of the military.
A government spokesman said
the new government still had
friendly relations with Russia, but
would continue to control commu-

Hicken|ooper Cites
Churchill in Calling
For New Look al Aid

Senator Hickenlooper. Republi-
can, of Iowa said today Winston
Churchill's admission that Brit
ain can't keep up with her arms
building schedule may force a re-
evaluation by Congress of foreign
aid.
The Senator told a reporter he
is not greatly surprised by Mr..
Churchill's statement to Com
mons that his government has
given up hope or fulfilling its
three-year $13,160, 100000 arms
program on schedule.
Mr.. Churchill said Britain will
fall short of spending the $3.5 bill
lion budgeted for this year.
AS Foreign Relations Commit
tee member. Senator Hickenlooper
said he had been impressed on a
recent trip to Europe by the
financial difficulties faced by the
conservative government in Eng
land.
Suggests More for Britain.
Mr.. Churchill'S statement calls
for re-evaluation by Congress as
to where the prime interests of
United States defense in Europe
lie," Senator Hickenlooper said.
Perhaps it would be wise for us
to reallocate more money to Brit
ain in the effort there, but I, for
one. do not believe that we can
go on spending for foreign assist
ance as we have been without
seriously impairing our own econ
omy."
Senator Hickenlooper said he
would advocate that the current
ST 7,4S3, 100000 appropriation for
all forms of foreign aid be cut
next year. He said, however, that
perhaps some money out of the
lower total might be spent better
in Britain than elsewhere.
Welker Expresses Surprise.
Senator Monroney, Democrat, of
Oklahoma. would not comment on
Churchill's statement, but Sena-
tor Welker, Republican, of Idaho,
said he was surprised.
This isn't going to help the
feeling of the American people
when we are called upon to send
more men. money and materials to
help Britain" he declared.
Complaining that the British
had failed to cooperate fully with
the United States in the Korean
fighting, Senator Welker said: IT'S
high time they get their industry
and will-to-win in gear"
