Verin, the Rhode Island colony, and
Roger Williams in particular, set the
first precedent of legal and govern
mental protection for religion and
civil liberty, which principle was
incorporated over one hundred years
later in the Constitution of the
United States. Roger Williams, there
fore, has truly been called the sFa-
ther of Democracy, for there are
no principles more fundamental than
civil rights and religious liberty"
Stating the detectives of the De-
scendants Of the American Revolu-
ton, Margaret Hatfield, national
chairman of the recently formed
Lineage" organization, with head
quarters at the Historic Art Caller

that their chief aims were Ito de-

the American people; to reaffirm
and enforce the Bill of Rights,
which guarantees freedom Of reli-
gion, of press, Of speech and of
assemblage to all minorities, whether
these groups are racial, religious or
economic; to maintain the Ameri-
can tradition of granting asylum to
the politically and religiously OPP
pressed of other lands; to support
actively movements for academic
freedom, and to clarity and re-inter-
pret those misused and prevented
terms, liberty, freedom and Ameri-

CIVIL RIGHTS DAY" HAILED
IN ANNIVERSARY CEREMONY
Descendants of American Revolution
Pay Tribute to Roger Williams

NEW YORK-This afternoon at
the Hall OF Fame the Descendants of
the American Revolution, in their
first public meeting, held exercises
before the statue of Roger Williams,
commemorating the "3O0th anniver-
sary of the birth Of religious free
dom and civil rights in America"
In advocating that Congress pro-
claim May 22nd to be known as
Civil Rights Day. Edward Ever
ett Hale, 3rd chairman of the cele-
bration exercises, stated that "the
tradition Of American civil rights
long antedates the First Amend
ment to the Constitution and goes
back to the trial of Joshua Verin,
on May %, 1893, in Providence, r.
l., the first court test in this coun-
try vindicating religious freedom.
Presiding at this trial was the found
er of the Rhode Island colony, Roger
Williams, whom we honor here today
as the one man in American history
most responsible for the establish
ment Of Freedom of Conscience as
civil right and state policy
Following an address by the prin-
cipal speaker of the day, Miss Grace
Potter, a direct descendant of Roger
Williams, wreath was laid on the
Roger Williams statue by Wendell
Phillips. Numerous racial and reli-
gious groups were represented by
delegates.
Miss Potter said in her address
that Joshua Verin was brought to
trial on the charge of restraining
the Liberty of Conscience because
he had prevented his wife from go
ing to church as often as she wished.
This was the first time such a
charge had been made in the Amer
lean colonies and it violated the
Social Compact of the colony which
Roger Williams had recently formed
at Providence. In upholding this

HOUSING POLICY.
UNCHANGED, SAY.
FEDERAL CHIEFS.
'Bogged-Down' Projects
Wait Local Action

G.N.S0 Officials of the United
States Housing Authority today
denied there had been any change
in housing policy or in the admin
istration of the 500 million dollars
set aside by Congress for low-cost
housing and slum clearance.
Unconfirmed reports that Ma
than Strauss, housing admins
traitor, favored "other types" Of
housing programs widely different
from those now under way were
categorically denied by department
spokesmen. These reports were
said to have started from the
"bogged-down" condition Of many
projects in various locations
throughout the country-projects
for which the administrator has
earmarked money, but for which
there had been no presidential
ALLEGATION.
EXAMPLE IS CITED
Citing the large-scale slum clear
ance and low-cost housing project
in East St. Louis, Ill, as an ex-
ample, spokesmen said that many
other projects, for which money
had been earmarked were going
through the same process.
The East st. Louis inexpensive
dwelling project had $1,5OO,o
earmarked by the administrator
some time ago. This money has
not been released to the city by
presidential ALLEGATION, however,
and will not be released until city
officials complete their building
plans to the satisfaction Of the
Housing Authority.
PROGRAM OUTLINED
Rumors were current last week
that the Housing Authority had
swung away from the program
of demolition of slums and the
erection of fine new, modern low
rent buildings in slum centers, to
a favorable landscape and sur
roundings" program. These we're
also denied.
1.-THE housing project is going
forward exactly as it was
set-up," a spokesman said. "Our
$500, 100000 is being spent as
ordered, one-fifth the first year
and two-fifths each Of the fol-
lowing two years. We have spent
now $168, ,0O0,0 900 which has been
earmarked and will be released
when building plans are COM
plete-the balance is available
for any worthy low-cost housing
project"

courage the death of members OF
their families.
ONLY TWO MINUTES
Red Cross representatives came
here to assist in rehabilitation
work. Persons made homeless by
the storm were being cared for in
