SUBSISTENCE HOMESTEAD
COMMUNITY TO BE LOCATED
IN COUNTY WITH NO
NEGRO INHABITANTS

Washington, - (CNS)-The latest
move to dodge the color line is
shown in the recent announced plans
to locate subsistence homestead com
munity at Decatur, Indiana, under the
direction Of the Subsistence Home
steads Division Of the Department Of
the Interior.
The Division is establishing demon
stration homestead projects in Sc
lected areas with the $25,000,0OO re
volving loan fund made available for
this purpose by the National Recov-
cry Act.
Decatur with a population of about
$500 people, is the county seat of
Adams County. The town is situated
at the junction of the Erie, the Toledo
st. Louis and Western, and the Penn
sylvania railroads about sixty miles
south of Fort Wayne, Indiana. OF
the inhabitants 5,O37 are native
whites. No Negroes were enumerat-
ed in the town in 1880 and only 5
show up as inhabitants of Adams
County.
The project there involves a loan to
the subsidiary corporation of $685.
900. Options have been obtained on
80 acres Of farm land which adjoins
the Decatur city limits. From 40 to
48 homesteads will be established,
with tracts for each of from one to
two acreas
The Development will be contiguous
to the city, and the occupants are in
tended to be a part of the Decatur
community rather than a group set
apart A school and playground lay
within two blocks of the site.
M. L. Wilson, Director Of the Sub
sistence Homesteads Division, said
that the project will furnish "a test
and demonstration Of the opportun-
tiles Of workers in small cities to in
crease their standard of living by re-
ducing their complete dependence on
pay envelopes to achieve a satisfac-
tory livelihood"

BILL BROUGHT
IN SENATE

fine Of both might be placed upon any
state officer who failed to exercise
diligence in protecting those in his
charge from mob assaults, or who
neglected to do his part in appre-
hending and convicting lynchers.
For any State officer to counter
ance such crimes affirmatively would
be made a Federal crime punishable
by Imprisonment of from five years
to life.
The Federal courts would have
jurisdiction to try and punish, in ac-
cordance with the law of the State
where the injury was inflicted, all
persons participating therein where
the State instrumentalities of justice
gave ample evidence of their inability
or unwillingnss to enforce their own
law. Q
Any county in which a person was
put to death by a mob would forfeit
$1,000, which might be recovered IN
a suit in the name of the United
States for the use of the family or
dependent parents of the victim Il
any, and otherwise for the use of the
United States.
1t is provided also that both the
county in which the victim is seized
and the one in which he is lynched
shall be liable.
Announcement will be made in am
ple time of the hearings on the Dill
SO that persons who wish to be heard
can submit material. Announcement
will also be made of the members OF
the committee which will consider
the bill.
Meanwhile, Walter White, n. A. a
C. P. secretary, who is here in con
ference on the bill, urges all friends
Of this legislation to write Senators
