Seattle Council
Acts To Combat
Rent-Gouging
Seattle-dlPD-A Fair Practice
Council has been formed and
an anti-eviction ordinance de
layed In the two latest de
velopments in Seattle's
World's Fair connected rent
gouging problem.
The council came out of a
meeting of civic, fair and
business leaders here. Gov.
Albert D. Rossellini, Mayor
Gordon Clinton, Joseph Can
dy, president of the fair, and
Edward E. Carlson, chairman
of the Washington Century 21
Commission attended.
The purpose of the council
Is to hold the line on prices
and discourage rent raising.
Any association, firm or indi
vidual is eligible to join.
Consideration Delayed
Meanwhile, consideration of
Clinton's proposed ordinance
to prevent rent gouging and
evictions in Seattle apart
ment houses was delayed until
Monday by the Seattle City
Council.
Clinton submitted the ordi
nance with the claim that the
cituation was an emergency
brought on by the fair, which
opens April 21.
After hearing about the
ordinance, the council agreed
to consider it between now
and Monday and then call in
the mayor and his legal advis
ers for a final discussion.
The mayor's proposal would
license any apartment or ho
tel intending to rent rooms to
World's Fair visitors.
Would Limit Licenses
His ordinance would limit
licenses to structures which
devoted at least 90 per cent
of its rental units to transi
ents from April 21 through
Oct. 21, 1961.
And among other things, it
would limit licenses to those
hotels which were operating
as hotels from April 21
through Oct. 21, 1961.
While the mayor's plan
doesn't specifically mention
rent control or evictions as
such, it indirectly would ac
complish this.

New York School
Teachers on Strike
For Pay Increases
New York-IUPI)-Thousands
of disgruntled teachers in the
nation's largest school system
went on strike today for high
er salaries. Officials watched
closely to see how the walk
out would affect the city's
public schools.
The United Federation of
Teachers ordered picket lines
to be set up early today at
the city's 840 elementary,
junior and senior high schools.
But the big question to be
decided is how effectively
would the strike snarl class
room activity of one million
students.
Elected Bargaining Agent
The UFT, which claims a
membership of 15,000, is the
elected bargaining agent for
the city's 40,000 public school
teachers. The union voted in
favor of the strike, which had
been threatened for the past
two weeks, at a mass meeting
Tuesday night in St. Nicholas
Arena.
Less than 5,000 UFT mem
bers participated in the ballot
ing and the strike was ap
proved by a narrow margin
of 313 votes. But union of
ficials confidently predicted
that the walkout would be
supported by a majority of
the teachers and that the
widespread absence would
close the doors of nearly
every school in the city.
Board of Education officials
sharply disagreed.
Shortly after the strike vote
was disclosed, school Supt.
John J. Theobald announced
that "schools will be open."
He also said he expected a
majority of the teachers to re
port for work despite the
strike call. Full police protec
tion was promised and 12,000
patrolmen were assigned to
strike duty.
The board of education was
scheduled to meet today to
discuss what new steps could
be taken to meet the crisis.
There was a strong possi
bility that, legal pressures, in
two separate forms, would be
brought to bear against the
teachers in an effort to nullify
the walkout.

Original Proclamation Found In Three Different Places
B 3
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Washington-(UPB -Who has
the original of Abraham Lin
coln's Emancipation Procla
mation?
That seemingly-innocent in
quiry was received at the
UPI bureau in Washington
recently. It embarked a re
porter on what turned out
to be a fascinating piece of
historical detective work.
Before he had finished
tracking down the priceless
historical document, he had
been assured by reputable
historians that it:
-was destroyed in the Great
Chicago Fire in 1871;
is stored in a vault at the
New York State Library in
Albany;
-has been on public exhibit
for many years in the Nation
al Archives building in Wash-ington.
Moreover, all three answers
proved to be correct, in a
sense. It all depends on how
you define "original."
The problem is complicated
by the fact that Lincoln ac
tually issued two Emancipa
tion Proclamations.
The first was dated Sept.

A
Statement of
from the
Oldest Brewery
in the West...
Policy
jjfa We have just one policy at Blitz-Weinhard Company that governs
everything we do and every decision we make. That policy is a very simple one:
TO GIVE OUR CUSTOMERS THE MOST PERFECT
CLASS OF BEER IT IS POSSIBLE TO BREW.
There are several fine beers brewed here in the West where nature provides the
finest ingredients for" brewing beer. But no other brewery, or beer, can match
Blitz-Weinhard's years of skill and experience at blending these ingredients into a
perfect beer.
It takes time to develop these skills and develop a spirit of never being satisfied with
less than perfection. That is why we suggest that you will be very pleased when you taste
the time-perfected quality and character of Blitz-Weinhard beer.
Enjoy the light, consistently refreshing good taste that
time-perfected Blitz-Weinhard Beer will bring into your life.
And remember Blitz-Weinhard's policy. Neither the policy
nor the quality of the beer will ever change.
01962 BliU-Weinhird Company, Portland. Oregon
mW
23, 1862. It declared that on
Jan. 1, 1863, "all persons held
as slaves within any state or
designated part of a state,
the people whereof shall then
be in rebellion against the
United States, shall he then,
henceforth and forever free."
Historians call this the
"preliminary" or "promis
sory" Emancipation Procla
mation. It was a warning to
the Confederate states that
unless they quit fighting by
Jan. 1, their slaves would be
proclaimed free.
This threat produced no re
sults, so on Jan. 1, 1863, Lin
coln issued a second Procla
mation, which contained simi
lar language to the first, but
ended with the declaration
that "all persons held as
slaves within said designated
states, and parts of states,
are and henceforth shall be
free."
Historians have been argu
ing for 99 years as to which
of these proclamations is the
really significant one. Neither
of them actually "freed the
slaves," since both were aim
ed solely at states which were,
by definition, "in rebellion"
against Lincoln's authority.
Duplicate Originals
The question of what hap
pened to the "original" proc
lamation is further compli
cated by the fact that Lincoln
wrote each version in long
hand and turned his rough
draft over to a professional
penman to be engrossed. The
engrossed versions were then
signed by Lincoln, counter
signed by Secretary of State
William H. Seward and sealed
with the Great Seal of the
United States.
The rough draft of the Sept.
23 proclamation in Lincoln's
own handwriting was sold at
auction shortly after the end
of the Civil War, at a bazaar
given in Albany, N.Y., to raise
funds for relief of wounded
Union veterans. It was pur
chased for SI, 000 by Gerrit
Smith, an ardent abolitionist
leader. Later he resold it to
New York state for the same
price.
The document was almost
destroyed by a fire which
swept through the New York
state capital building March
29, 1011. A state official
risked his life to save it from
the blazing building.
Since that time, it has been
kept in a vault in the State
Library, where it could- be
seen only by special request.
Public Display
At the urging of the state
Civil War Centennial commis
sion, plans now are under
way to place the document
on public display in a perman
ent shrine in the rotunda of
the state library.
Lincoln's handwritten first
draft of the Jan. 1 proclama
tion was also sold to a pri
vate collector, at a relief
bazaar in Chicago. A few
years later is was destroyed,
along with Mrs. O'Leary's
barn and most of the city,
in the great fire of Oct. 8-11.
1871.
The engrossed copies of
both proclamations - which
are the "originals" in the
sense of being the official
versions - are on display at
the National Archives in
Washington.
