Judy was . great star. but all
along the. line there was the
harassment of falling health

Last year MGM gave her q
final chance with big part in an
expensive picture. Judy. fresh
from extensive treatment in q
Boston hospital, failed to arrive
at the first rehearsal. Her studio
suspended her. Despondent and
hysterical, she ran sobbing into
her bathroom-and right into the
big headlines-to administer few
superficial scratches on her throat

nothing except to endear her more
than before to the public. She

not attempt to preach. nor to ex-

When they began their task,
Authors Lerner and Loewe found
that there was little material
available on bookshelves.
The authors ran into good for4

Itennial occurred during their
search. During this fiesta they
encountered many old-ttmers who
had gone digging into attics and

signs of being at a finish. Already
there are tales spreading Of q

falls in love with a handsome

Rumson town has about run it's

leaving for other fields.

Of the dwelling units occupied
by colored people in the South, the
report shows, So per cent were ur-
ban, % per cent rural nonfarm, and
IS per cent rural farm dwellings.
One of the significant changes in
the housing picture was the in
crease in home ownership among
colored people. The report shows
a As per cent gain in dwelling units
owner-occupied, and IS per cent
reduction among colored renters.
The gain resulted from new con-
struction, the sale of existing rent
al homes for owner occupancy, and
a higher level of income.
The shift from renter to owner
occupancy resulted in 35 per cent
Of colored occupied dwelling units
being owner-occupied, as compared
with "a per cent in 1910.
Dwelling units occupied by col
ored people in the South contained
fewer rooms but more persons than
the average for the Nation as
whole. The medium number of
rooms in colored homes was 3.5
as compared with a national me-
dian of 4.6.
The persons per room data indi-
cate that since 1910 there is less
crowding. The percentage of devil
ling units with one or less persons
per room rose from Sc to 81 per
cent in 1850, while the number of
units with Isl or more persons per
room dropped from 27 per cent in
1910 to % per cent in 1850.
The % per cent for units occu-
pied by colored people in the South
reflects the crowding for that seq
ment of housing. The crowding
among colored people contributed
partly to high overall proportion
for the South, but even with colored
households excluded proportion of
units with more than 1.5 persons
per room was 8 per cent.
Units of poorest quality, those
which were either dilapidated or
had no running water, were most
numerous in the South, where one
third of the units were of this
quality.
The report shows that IA per cent
of the dwellings Occupied by colored
people in the South were not di-
lapidated and had hot running wa
ter, private toilet and bath, but 68
per cent were dilapidated and had
no running water.
In the South, rents were lower,
especially among colored renters
who paid, on the average, only SIG
monthly.
The medium price which colored
nonfarm home owners of single
family homes estimated their prop
critics would sell for was $2,4OO,
while one-fourth of the units were
valued at more than $4,000.

Negroe Housing Is
Sill Seen As Critical
BY Louis Lautier

By Louis Lautier
Washington, D. c. (NNPA-The
housing situation still remains pitt
fully bad for colored people, ac-
cording to the 1850 Census of Hous-
ing, released last Friday by Roy
V. Peel, director of the Census
Bureau.
While the report on Housing
characteristics" covers four regions
the Northeast, the North Central,
the South, and the West-figures
on housing occupied by colored peo-
pie are given only for the South
where colored people constitute 21.7
per cent of the total population.
But other reports made on hCus-
ing from time to time show that
the worst housing inhabited by col
cred people is not in the South, but
in northern cities, like New York
and Chicago, where the housing sit
uation is entangled in racial segre-
gation, politics, and the opposition
to decent housing by neighborhood
Improvement associations, real es-
tate associations, and profiteerS in
human misery, including colored
profiteers.
Slums cannot be torn down until
decent housing is provided else
where for their inhabitants, and in
northern cities the only vacant land
suitable for relocating slum dwell
suitable for relocating slum dwell
lerS is outside the ghettoS.
According to the Census Bureau
report, since 1910 the number of
dwelling units occupied by colored
people remained about the same in
the South but increased in the rest
Of the Nation.
In 1850, tWo-thirdS, or sc per
cent, of the colored households in
the United States were living in
the South, the report states. This
compares with about three-fourths,
or 73 per cent in 1910.
The smaller number of colcred
households now living in the South
