if Negroes were given atcual equal
ity with whites here was a ques-
ton raised Monday noon at a meet
ing of the Milwaukee Minister
ial association at the YMCA.

chairman of the Milwaukee Race
Relations council, asked the min
sters to preach on race equality
on Febr. 18th, which has been de

day, He urged greater equality be.
tween Negroes and whites.
Negroes, he said, should be per
mitted to live where they please
instead of being segregated and
should have equal opportunities for
work in factories, department
tore and other fields. He said that
although Negroes had the worst
living conditions in the city they
would not be permitted to live in
either of the governments housing
projects here.
Social equality between the races
would lead to intermarriages,
warned the Rev Roscoe A. Barnes,
minister of St. Johns Methodist
church, adding, 81 do not believe
in that" Prof. Teter discounted
