To Present Lovely
Interpretive Dancer

Toresita Osta, lovely interpreter
of Spanish and Latin American
dances who will appear here with
her pianist brother, Emilio, on
April 6 at 8 pm. at Jackson Col
lege, is not only an artist of the
dance but an artist of costuming
as well.
There is more to her professional
wardrobe than the material and
design that GO into it. While her
Spanish antecedents give her a
natural understanding of things
Castillian, she has supplemented
this knowledge with research on
Spanish, Latin-American and In
dian customs.
Her Peruvian costume, no less
than the dance in which it is used,
reflects the Inca civilization. This
costume was designed for her by
the Peruvian Indian. who taught
her the dance. Vivid in coloring
purple, yellow, orange-of war
tior origin, and suggesting the rug

twenty-five pounds. A feature of

One of the most beautiful Gre

of white imported French lace.
She sewed its many sequins on

threw up her hands in horror at
just the thought of the job.
Peasant costumes were a wal
casualty, and it is still impossible
to buy the vivid wool in flower
designs of which they are tradi-
tlonally made. In a little New
York shop, one day, Teresita dis
covered a supply of special kerr
chiefs in bright yellow, green and
red flowers, and by sewing these
together she obtained the exact eff
| feet she wanted.
Each of Teresita's costumes is
authentic in every detail, and the
tact that she has helped make
many of them herself is a matter
of great pride to her.

ARCH FOE NOW
ON JACKIE'S SIDE

NEW YORK - (ANP) - The
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher who
gave Jackie Robinson a rough
time every time he came to bat
is now teammate of the famous
second baSeman at Brooklyn. The
Dodgers got Russ Meyer from
Boston which team got him from
Philadelphia.
In the transfer, a Negro player
was involved. He is Jim Pendle-
ton, one half of the famous sec
ond base combination that car
ried Montreal to a championship
last year. Pendleton, a short stop
was considered dependable by
Brooklyn since the team has a
cracker jack youngster thinner
coming up.
At the same time, Junior Gill
liam is considered a better pros
pect and he has been tabled
Jackie RobinSon's successor.
Pendleton thus gets a chance at
Boston where he may not have
to shift to the outtield. That was
what Brooklyn intended doing
with him.
In a trade of this kind, every
body gets something. Philadel-
phia landed TorgeSon, Cincinnati
ii got Rocky Bridges, an infielder
who will develop; Boston got Ad-
cock, first baseman-outfielder
plus Pendleton and the Dodgers
got that starting pitcher they
need so badly.
Meanwhile up in Boston, the
Braves now have on their roster
Sam Jethroe and Bill Bruton, in
the outfield, George Grove a cap
able first baseman and Jim
Pendleton, who can put punch in
that infield. Boston looks like it
got some good ball players in the
shuttle.

ATLANTA - CAMP - At
lanta citizens were jubilant last
week as the Georgia State Su-
preme court killed plans of the
city to wipe out several Negro
residential areas under an urban
redevelopment" program design
ed to replace the homes with new
commercial buildings, warehouses
and perhaps residential struc-
lures for whites.
The courts decision came as a
result of an injunction against
the Atlanta Housing Authority,
which has responsibility for the
city's redevelopment program.
Several home owners joined by
White landlords in the Mcdaniel
Street area, had entered suit in
the name of Sam S. johnson to
enjoin the city from condemning
property in the so called "blighted
or Slum area" The court ruled
Atlants's redevelopment yaw was
unconstitutional.
The high court said the city
was abusing its powers of emf
nent domain by condemning pri-
vate property for transfer to pri-
vate use. Under its redevelop-
ment program the Atlanta Hous-
ing Authority would have acquir-
ed the property, cleared it, and
then resold it to private develop
erS.
In its decision, the court point
ed out that the 1887 Public Hous-
ing Act specifically calls for pub
lie use of land condemned by
local governments. The Supreme
courts ruling upheld a previous
decision by Fulton Superior court
Judge Ralph Pharr, who dismiss
ed demurrers the city attorneys
had entered against the property
owners injunction.
NJ. B. Satterfield, housing
authority director, said any con-
domination will be halted until
procedures are decided upon"
He aaued that if the program is
abandoned, the effort to eliminate
the SUM area surrounding the
downtown business district will
fail.
The Rev. L. NJ. Terrill, pastor
Of Zion Hill Baptist church and
president of the Mcdaniel Area
Civic Club, which had sponsored
the suit, said the group would
hold a mass meeting and work out
plans to cooperate with the city
in improving the area. He declar-
ed:
1T is a blessing that we have
the courts to protect the property
of our citizens. The decision not
only protected the rights of prop
erty owners in the Mcdaniel area
but Negroes and White people all
over Georgia"
Rev. Terrill added, however,
that something would have to be
done about Sub-Standard houses
in the area. His group will seek
a workable plan to help both
nome owners and tenants.
John o. Chiles, chairman OF the
Atlanta Housing Authority, ex-
pressed disappointment over the
decision. he said the authority
and its attorneys would meet i'm
mediately to see what the next
move could be. Some speculation
was abroad that a CONSTITUTIONAL
amendment authorizing condem-
nation of land for redevelopment
maybe necessary if the multi
million dollar sum clearance pro-
gram is carried out. Such an
amendment could not be sup
mluted to voters for ratification
before December, 1854.
The Metro1relitan Planning
Commission bad chosen four sites
for redeYsiopment, each being
heavily populated by negro cru
zens and located close TO the
downtown section. The McDanieI
Area was considered test case.
