.L0W-COST HOMES
HELD AT PREMIUM
lckes Cites Tenant AppIica-
tions Filed at Rate of
600 a Week.

With tenant applications being filed
at the rate of 600 per week, Public
Works Administrator Harold l.. Ickes
announced today that homes in P. w.
AS low-rent housing projects will
soon be at premium.
To dste the Housing Division OF P.
w. A. has received 1895 requests
for the $4,000 dwelling units now
under construction Although no prof.
ect is yet ready for occupancy, five
are already over subscribed and on
three more projects the demand al
ready exceeds more than half the
supply.
In New York City where the two
projects are only in the foundation
construction stage, the district office
has had difficulty in tabulating the
applications, the rush has been so
great. 1t is anticipated the doors
of the two developments will not open
for at least nine months, and even
at this early date, there have been
1o,lSS families applying for the 2,lS8
units. Ten Eyck Houses, the larger
New York City development, received
6,sls applications, approximately four
families applying for each OF the
1,6l4 dwelling units.
In Atlanta, Ga, where fleetwood is
30 per cent completed, an average OF
three applications has been filed for
every unit. Even though this is true,
more families are attempting to reg
lister in the Atlanta district office,
81 additional registrations being re-
ceived last week. The demand ratio
on Atlantic City, N. ]. is two to one,
THE number Of applications that
come pouring in to the district man
ayers Offices" said Housing Director
A. r. Clas, ''sustains the contention
of the Housing Division that there Is
q huge unsupplied need for this type
of housing. Rental regulations have
not yet been announced and despite
this fact, families are seeking to regis
ter for living quarters in practically
every project. AS a matter OF fact, we
have sought to discourage prospective
tenants from making applications un-
til the projects were nearer COM
pletion. However, we are gratified that
our projects have met with such en-
thusiastic approval throughout the
country"
The Housing Division estimates that
the number of families registering
for quarters in the so Federal prof.
ects will exceed more than 10 times
the amount of available units.

Following the Rev. Chas. H. T,

SOUTHERNER SAYS
NEGROES NOT GIVEN
dem. SQUARE DEAL

JACKSON, Miss. - From the
powerful pen of Major Frederick
Sullens, white, publisher of the
Jackson (Mississippil Daily News
(official organ and mouthpiece in
this section for Pres. Franklin D,
Roosevelt, and Senator Pat IIar-
rison, chairman of the Senate Fin
ance Committee), comes the franz,
admission that Negroes have not
been fairly death with by admin
istrators of the New Deal,
In a recent issue under the front
page personal column, 1.-The Low
Down on Higher-Ups," conducted
by Major Sullens, is the following
statement:
There can be no denial that
Negroes in Mississippi have
not been given a square deal
under any of the relief pro
grams, nor have they shared
fairly in the benefits distibut-
ed by any of the New Deal
alphabetical organizations. Al
so we must admit that a Ne
gro can get just as cold ard
hungry as white man. Our
Negroes deserve and receive
more kindly consideration.
This pointed declaration, which
might easily and justly have in
cluded other states of the deep
South and some parts Of the North
strengthens the contention that the
Democratic Party is the party of
unfairness when it comes to its
dealings with Negroes, and the
need for a change from the New
"E1isdeap to the constitutional
guarantees advocated by the Re-
publican Party.
