Bi: A Housing Sub-eommittee of the “House Committee on Education and La- bor is conducting an “investigation of szmonopolies, racketeering and restrictive * “practices in labor costs, eausing shortage “of housing.” ey A Joint Congressional Committee is . Swinging around the country to investi- ‘gate housing problems, expecting to hear = representatives of builders, trade associa- ‘tions, realty’ men, financing institutions ~and labor present their side of the con- Stroversy. In addition, the Department of Justice scrutinizing ‘the building industry, fol- Slowing an indictment against the National Association of ‘Real Estate Boards, and. re- ‘porters suggest that some other charges will develop against other branches ‘of the «industry, The ‘Department is also looking into the records of registered real estate, 4:building material and housing lobbyists. & It seems that, if investigations mean ‘sanything, somebody ought to find out something about the housing shortage. & Perhaps, when Congress convenes Nov. £17, with the approaching elections of £1948 in mind, there will be something done to solve the much-diseussed shortage and to provide homes for veterans and others who are unable to get mabstastery living quarters, 2 RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS ke The United, States Supreme Court will ‘soon pass on restrictive racial covenants in connection with real estate sales. Some Sifour or five cases are now pending. Representatives of racial units which are sometimes jbarred from the ownership “ real estate by the restrictive covenants = Clim that the practice is undemocratic, ig - -racial$ prejudice and threatening =the economic and moral eomposure of the community involved. Against this eonten- tiontion is the tendeney of the courts to ‘uphold the terms of contracts and to ac- ‘= cord to the owner of property the right to dispose of it in any manner that he, or she, sees fit. “ See aS A genuine feeling of brotherhood is incompatible with hard bargaining and sharp practices. i] te tins tl lotels and Apartments. * Bee f ABILITY TO ‘TAKE’ IT Heat engendeted by campaigning for the city election should have vanished overnight, and candidates whe are defeat- ed and their supporters should join with the victors in their efforts to make Key West a better and more progressive com- munity. Probably it is asking too much of a man who lost to try to shoulder aside his disappointment. Human nature is such, disappomtment ean not be forgotten in so short a time. But there should not be any rancor in the disappointment. The philos- ophie view is to realize that the voters of Key West expressed their ehoices at the polls yesterday. The choices are based on the cornerstone of democracy—the vete of the majority. Frequently, we may think that the ma- jority is wrong, and that the minority is right, merely beeause we are in the min- erity. But even while we think so, if that is our attitude, we realize that the right way to settle a question is by the voice of the majority. We know of a good many candidates who, naturally, were disappointed over their defeat, but were among the first to declare that they were ready to do what- ever was in their power to help the city, county, state, or nation, depending on the scope of the election. The Citizen trusts that the candidates who were unsuccess- ful yesterday will assume a similar atti- tude. At is the only right thing to do in an election. Before a man runs for office he ‘should ask himself this question: “Can I ‘take’ it if I lose?” If “Yes” is the answer to that question, let him run and try his best to win. If he does not win, then he will be able to “take” the .result philos- ophically. When one engages in idle talk, he not only wastes the time of the listener but his own time as well. A candidate’s reputation, good or bad, comes out in the open around election time. He may think the voters de not know or have forgotten, but they have not forgotten, and will aet accordingly, in the little beoth on election day. RATS A COSTLY PEST —_—_—_—— The present desperate shortage of grain, affecting the health and lives of millions of people throughout the world, calls attention to the estimate that rats destroy American grain at the rate of 200,- 000,000 bushels a year. The Fish and Wildlife Service, which makes the estimate, points out that this is more’ than one-third the amount of grain this country is planning to export to re- lieve hunger in Western Europe and twice as much as President Truman has asked the nation to save. Albert M. Day, director of the agency, says that four per cent of annual grain. food production in this country is lost through the activity of rats and that, at current prices, the destroyed grain repre- sents more than $400,000,000. In addition to the monetary loss suffered through the depredations of rodents, one should not overlook the fact that certain diseases are spread among human beings by rats. Many cities and communities have under- taken concerted drives to eliminate rats and some progress has been made in the direction of the goal. It might be a good idea for all people of Key West to bear in mind the loss sus- tained through the rat population. The rodents represent a common enemy and should be destroyed whenever and wher- ever possible. In this modern age you must under- stand how to advertise your wares if you expect anyone to suspect that you have talent. WEEKLY WAGES The weekly earnings of those employ- ed in manufacturing plants in September averaged $50.42 a week, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is more than double the 1939 figure. While the weekly wage average eracked $50 for the first time, it is peint- ed out that when the largest sum is ad- justed to the present purchasing power of the dollar, it represents an inerease of only 30 per cent in the actual earnings since 1939. One must not overlook, in connection with wages and salaries, that the reci- pient is paying higher taxes than in 1939. This also cuts down the net sum retained by the worker, Es KEY WEST CITIZEN Brazil Planning - - | This Kitchen Is Army Of 162,000.
