Chicago (ANP)-Chcago Negro property welcomed

complete revision of insurance laws that will

companies from cancellng Negro
policies already in force on their
homes and apartment buildings
throughout the state. The measure
will also compel the major COM
panies to write new insurance on
properties found to be in good con-
dition and conforming with build
ing codes of the various communi-
ties.
VIII End Jim Crow Practices
Passage of the Smith Bill will
put to an end a long series of dis
criminatory practices dire C tie d
against Negro property owners in
the so-Called Black Belt of Chi
cago and other designated areas
populated mainly by Negroes and
other minority groups.
In a prepared statement, explain
ing the measure, Senator Smith
stressed the prevalent abuses and
Jim Crow practices which have
resulted in a flood of complaints
from Negro property owners, all
of which have fallen on deaf ears.
The Senator also stated that his
bill will knock out some Of the
provisions of the state law, by
which insurance companies can
charge excessive rates and place
other discriminatory restrictions
on Negro real estate owners in
certain communities designated as
'slum areas
To Stop Abuses, Change The
Law"
''These conditions" declared
Smith. have long been complained
of by certain responsible Chicago
newspapers and business men, but
to no avail. believe the only way
to induce the insurance industry to
correct these unfair practices is to
change the law under which they
operate"
If passed by the Illinois legisla-
tive body, the Smith Bill would
result in the cancellation of hcen-
ses of insurance firms which per-
sist in their Jim Crow practices
and refuse to conform with pro-
visions of the new law.
]. Edgar Milsapp, prominent
Chicago businessman, now retired
spoke in high praise of Senator
Smiths bill, pointing out that the
excessive premiums Negroes must
now pay for ordinary fire, casual
ty and other real estate insurance
is "a low-down shame" and that
he, himself now has to pay from
35 to so percent more for his poll
cies than he did before his COM
munity was stigmatized as "slum
area"
Milsapp said the insura nc e
blacklist" of his apartment build
ing and private dwelling dates back
to January, 1868, when Mayor
Daley repeatedly advised insurance
firms to withhold insurance from
owners of fire-trap buildings. AS
a result, Milsapp says, he is now
forced to pay stiff, excessive prices
on his buildings, despite the fact
that all are in excellent condition
and conform to all building regula-
tions.
Gerber Again Promises action
Milsapp says he will await with
interest the report that on Thurs
day, that Joseph s. Gerber, State
insurance director, again promised
speedy action on the complaints Of
Negroes that they are being denied
standard fire and other insurance
policies, because of race and loca-
ton Of the property.
It was also learned that a num-
Der Of complaints had been previ'
ously reported TO Mr.. Gerber by
interested real estate operators
and other organizations, including
the Washington Park Improvement
association, headed by F. ]. Wheat,
ley, president, and Lydia DePriest
secretary.

A. Federal Legal and Moral
Responsibility
Title !

In Title I there are specific find
ings to the effect that the Supreme
Court decisions on racial segrega-
ton in public education express
the moral ideals of the nation and
the world and point the way to a
nation enhanced in strength and
dignity at home and enhanced in
honor and prestige throughout the
world" that the decisions are being
resisted in many areas of the ma
ton where there has been a failure
to make a prompt and reasonable
start towards compliance; and that
legislative and executive action is
necessary to safeguard the rights
involved.
1t is further specifically found
that these rights will be more wide
ly accepted and more fully enjoyed
when it is generally recognized
lildI TIC OOIlSllluIlOIl DIS interpreted
by the Court is the law of the
land, that all officials are bound
by their oaths to support it, and
that the Federal legislative and
executive branches will act to pri-
tect these rights.
And finally after the other basic
findings concerning the Federal re-
sponsibility, the Congress declares
its intention that the right to the
equal protection of the laws guar
anteed by the Constitution against
deprivation by reason Of race, col
or, religion or national origin and
affirmed by the anti-segregation
decisions If the Supreme Court,
shall be protected by all due and
reasonable means"

Six-Foot Teen-Ager Thinks She's Hopeless

I have tried everything,
but boys just can't stand me
as ! am now.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Perhaps 1t would help
Ethel and her mother to
realize that very few indi-
viduals get through Adde'S
cense without some more or
less serious problem involving
appearance. To Ethel the
girl with stringy hair or q
bad complexion is lucky. but
she can be sure that that
girl suffers just as much
anguish over her dificulty as
Ethel does with her height.
The understanding of par
ents can do q lot at such
times, but the adolescent also
must do much for himself.
We get the impression that
Mrs. L. L. is OVERRIDING the
sympathy to the point where
her daughter is substituting
1t for the other satisfactions
in life she is now missing.
Mrs. L. l.. hasn't taught
Ethel the Importance of at
titude in making friends.

preston. Others don't
realize Ethel's anger Is di-
rected against herself. They
consider themselves the tar
get and steer clear.
Countless individuals with
serious appearance problems
manage to have many
friends and find dates and
marriage partners as well.
They can do this because
they have learned the art of
setting their own feelings
aside and trying to interest
themselves in others.
Aside from these consider
ations. there is the obvious
fact that appearance isn't
everything. Skill with q mu-
steal instrument, dancing
ability, knowledge Of q few
interesting subjects could
make Ethel the life Of the
