Claim Singer Wants
Divorce Because
Hubby Is Low

Chicago amp - In the flood
of rumors and speculations con-
corning the marriage of blues
singer Dinah Washington and her
24-year-old mate, Raphael Campos,
came another report from New
York City last week that Dinah
wants to unload Raphael because
he Is too lazy.
An item appearing in the column
of Broadway columnist Ed SulH-
van said Miss Washington was
planning a Mexican divorce. 1t fol-
lowed closely another disclosure
here that Miss Washington was
budding with her attorneys a di-
vorce.
Meanwhile, a close friend of the
singer here is reported to have
told an out-of-town newspaper
that. Miss Washington wanted to
end the two-month-old marriage
because Campos is too lazy. Cam
pos spent most of his time loung-
ing around Miss Washington's Chi
cago apartment during the day and
driving around the streets in their
pink Cadillac at night, it was re-
ported. He would not work"
Campos left Chicago recently in
the Cadillac for parts unknown
and Dinah asked local police to
help her gain a lead on him. At
last report he was still missing
with several assorted unlisted be-
longings" in his possession.
The Associated Negro Press re-
ported the split between the Cam
poses in a byline story last week.
Dinah herself could not be reached
for comment.
According to a nationally-cir-
culated Negro magazine, Dnah
and Raphael, her seventh husband
CIV, were married in Mexico City
following a quickie courtship. He
had proposed to her over the tele-
phone and he went to Los Angeles
to meet him and the two motored
to Mexico City for the nuptals.

One lonely year has passed and
gone,
Since our dear mother & wife
was called to rest,
But In our hearts we say: Thy
will be done.
God does all things for the best,
But a sweeter character was
never known,
OF her kind influence within us
still.
For may in us the same be said,
Is our hope, our prayer, our
will.
1t grieved our hearts to have
her go,
For what purpose we do moi
know.
We expect to meet her in that
land,
Up there we'll know and under
stand.
Now may her rest be calm and
sweet,
So peacefully as the sweetest
dream
Until we meet again.
Lovingly, her husband,

EVEN EUROPE IS CHANGING

EVEN EUROPE IS CHANGING
FORA NUMBER of years this paper, among others, has
spoken out for a change from lefthand to ~right-hand drive.
The matter even became an issue in political campaign. Those
on the other side refused to confine themselves to the issue,
read into the suggestion a number Of totally foreign ideas, and
even went SO far as to try to turn the entire matter into a grand
joke.
THE QUESTION of which side to drive on is not a purely
local problem. Just last week many European countries, in
Guiding England and Sweden, grappled with the problem. In
Sweden, the matter has gone 50 far that even a change-over
date Of 1866 has been suggested.
AT THE PRESENT time most European countries drive
on the right, with only Great Britain, Ireland and Iceland, in
addition to Sweden. All others, it is understood, have long
made the change. Those Virgin Islanders who refuse to bulge
must admit that they are rightnow In the minority, and Will be
even more SO as time goes by.
HISTORICALLY, the left-hand drive started in the Mid
die Ages when knights carried their swords on the lett, leaving
their right hands free for use if necessary. But those times have
changed. No longer is the horse and buggy the standard form
of transportation. Automobiles have their steering wheels on
the left, which under the left-hand drive system on the roads,
leaves the drivers closest to the outer edge of the road. He
therefore passes a vehicle coming in the opposite direction on
a sort of blind side. Right-hand drive gives the motorist an
opportunity to see clearly and Judge the distance between his
vehicle and the one going IN the opposite oHectoh'
THE BLAND CRITICISMS and attacks heard may have
to be revised in view Of what is taking place in Europe. Swed.
en- is studying the problem, and just about the same time, Bi-
tain is reconsidering the matter. After all, these nations do not
want to be the only ones left in an entire part Of the world.
ONE OFTHE reasons given for Sweden,s possible change
is the constant flow of tourists using motor cars in that country
They want to make sure that such a source OF income is not
impaired by insistence upon a system which has proved that it
is both unpopular and unsafe. We here have an even greater
stake in the tourist business, and should once again give the
matter some more thought.
