DICKIE WELLS, SIDNEY BECHET
NAMED IN TALLuLAH'S LIFE

NEW YORK The spicy,
forgery larceny trial Of Mrs.
Evyleen Cronin, former maid,
housekeeper and confidante to
the glamorous, unpredictable
Tallulah Bankhead, brought out
some more mud-slinging against
the prosecuting actress, when
counsel for the defense named
five dashing men in Tallulah's
life to include Sidney Bechet and
Dickie Wells.
Mrs. Cronin is being accused
of raising checks of Tallulah's to
the tune of $4,000 in total. Her
counsel, State Senator Fred D.
Moritt, has kept his word that
the trial would be most reveal
ing in trying to prove that his
client, motherly looking Mrs
Cronin, only act,H under the ex-
pressed wishes of her former en-
ployer, Tallulah Bankhead. After
bringing forth the limit - that
the actress bought cocaine, mari
huana, gigoloes-the third days
cross examination charged Tallu
with friends, Bechet and Wells,
along with actor William Lang
ford and Blake johnson and
Larry Washburn. None of the
five were further identified.

Federation, of Taxpayers.
Rep. Chapman was also singled
out for having a perfect attend
ance record for the past three
years.
The Federation has decided to
publish an "honor roll rather
than list the attendance at roll
calls of all $50 legislators be-
cause it has found that in spite
of long sessions the average
number of absentees per roll call
since 1949 has been cut in half.
Two years ago an average of SO
percent of the members of the
House were absent for each roll
call while this year that average
has dropped to 19 percent.
At the outset, however, the
Federation emphasizes most en-
phatically that a mere attend
ance record is but one measure,
and a very limited one, of the
quality of legislative service. It
must be stressed, too, that some
of the ablest and most conscien-
tious legislators have missed roll

legitimate reasons including ac-
tual illness.
Thus the opinion of the Fede-
ration is that citizens should look
at the attendance records of their
legislators with a reasonable
amount of charity. Reasons for
absence ranged from serious and
prolonged illness to sheer dis
interest. Some members just
took off when they felt the need
for a vacation or restful travel
even though their work was far
from complete.
In evaluating absences note
should be made of the fact that
in addition to salaries of $4500
a year, plus pensions, legislators
are paid travel allowances which
range from $14.50 to $48 for
every week of the session. Every
m e m ber, regardless of the
length or frequency of his alb
sences from the State House or
the reason for the absence, coll
lects his travel allowance.
Whether it is proper for him to
do so is another matter-which
to date has not seemed to have
troubled the conscience of any
absentee.
These absence records are
based on tabulations of the vot-
ing of each member of the legis-
lature as recorded in the House
and Senate Journals. A member
is recorded as absent if the
record does not show a vote of
Yea, Nay, or Present, unless the
member was officially reported
as excused for absence due to
travel on official business.

u. S. INDICTS =
in CICERO RIOTS

CHICAGO-A special Federal
grand jury indicted seven Cicero
officials Thursday, December 13,
for preventing Harvey E. Clark
and his family from occupying
an apartment which they had
rented in lily-white Cicero last
summer.
Henry ]. Sandusky, president
Of the Town Council; Erwin
Konovsky, chief of police; and
Nicholas Berkos, town attorney,
were in d i'c tie d on two counts
charging CD conspiracy to pre-
vent any colored inhabitants
from occupying and ownin g
property in Cicero and (2) ille-
gal action on their part on June 8,
as officers of the law and Of
ficials of the township, to deny
the Clarks the right to occupy
the apartment they had rented.
Indicted on the first count with
them was Theodore Wesolowski,
fire marshal; and on the second
count, Police Sergeant Roland
Brani and Patrolmen Frank A.
Lange and Frank Janicek.
In their first attempt, on
June 8, to move into the apart
ment, the Clarks were forcibly
turned back by Konovsky and
other members of the police force
and were warned not to return,
When, on July 10, the Clarks
again attempted to occupy the
a partment, a mob of 5000
Ciceronians, undeterred by the
police, destroyed their personal
property and wrecked the 20
apartment building, driving 10
white families out. Order was re-
stored only after the Illinois
National Guard was called out.

In New York, following the in

Walter White wired u. S. Atty
Gen. McGrath, expressing zap
probation for ordering the spe-
cial federal grand jury which
resulted in indictments in con-
nection with the notorious riot
ing at Cicero. We believe that
this corrective action will help
to undo some of the harm to
democracy and will serve to re-
tard mob violence in the Chicago
area against colored persons at
tempting to find decent places to
live"
Michael Mann, regional direc-
tor of Chicago, CLIO, who
joined with others in petitioning
President Truman for a Federal
investigation of the Cicero race
riots, wired the President, as
follows:
"In these days when the evils
of totalitarianism are riding

President Nelson M. Willis of

the grand jury's action "has
saved Cook County from dis
grace in the eyes of the world"

The desire for lighter beige
toned furs is only one of the rea-
sons why otter has gained
steadily in fashion favor. It
wears beautifully and has that
luxury look all women demand in
furs. This animal, which is a
member of the weasel family, has
a soft. rich pelt with short guard
hairs. Colors vary from grayish
brown to a rich. deep brown.
You'll find, however, that otter
dyed in some of the lovely cham
payne colors makes some of the
most attractive jacket and full
length garments. Youthful styling
that includes young collars,
smooth, rounded shoulders and
pretty silhouettes help make it
even more desirable. For those
who prefer a darker shade there's
