Among the most important
reasons for such low costs are
ID complete local jurisdiction
over projects with all contracts
and construction procedures car
ried on in accordance with local
practices: (2) simplification in
design and improvements in con
struction methods as the result
ow collaboration between looa
authorities and the USHA; 90
agreements on wage rates and on
avoidance of jurisdictional dis
putes effected with labor unions
by local authorities assisted by
the USHA.
Having been built to meet
local needs each of these first
five projects is different from
the others. The Jacksonville pro-
ject is made up of one and two
story houses, some of them built
in rows, some of them semi-de-
tached. In Austin all the units
r grouped together in short,
one+story rows. In the Buffalo
projects there are 10th three
stery apartments, two-story flats

Moreover, all the projects are

Rather )than being scattered

Live At Home Plan
Cuts Need fer Grants

A reduction of $3.50 during
May in the number of Nebraska
farm families receiving grants
from the Farm Security Admins
tration is largely the result of
these families concentration on a
"hve-attome" program, L. A.
White, state FSA director said
today.
AT meetings held in each county
earlier in the year, families re-
ceivlng grants worked out indiyi-
dual plans for using every means
to raise as much food and livestock
reed as possible. Carrying out
CHEESE plans resulted in a reduc-
tion Oh the grant load from s1O9.-
522 in April to SOS, 294 in Nav.
White said in his monthly report.
Rehabilitation, not relief. is
the chief role of the Farm Securi-
ty Administration in Nebraska"
the FSA director said. During
May the FSA made 283 standard
loans totaling $276,484 to help
farmers put into operation care
fully worked out farm manage
ment plans. The raising of gar
dens and feed acreage for live
stock figure largely in these
plans. The whole purpose of the
loans it to help the farmer help
himself"
More than 900 supplemental
loans totaling 1862, 457 were also
made during May for additional
productive units such as milk
cows, brood sows and other sub
sistence livestock to strengthen
farm plans. Cooperative and COM
munity service loans amounted to
$l4,036, making a total of $542,977
loaned by the FSA in Nebraska
during May for rehabilitation pur-
,ccse'. White reported,
During the month the FsA re-
ceived 900 payments amounting to
$76,S99. There were 35 repay
ments in full. Livestock or live
stock products provided most of
the repayments, according 30 the
F'SA director.
White said a number of the
district supervisors had comment
ed on the large number of young
farm people who are seeking some
way to begin farming for them

A resolution submitted by 100
Southern delegates, rejected Vice
President John Garner, of Texas,
as a 1910 candidate for President
of the United States and called
for support of "a man who has
the feeling for the common folks
that President Roosevelt has, who
has his liberalism, his practical
sense of tae courtry's need, who
has his patriotism, and courage
to keep u nation at peace" The
resolution was unanimously adopt
ed.
Other resolutions adopted assail-
ed racial discrimination on The
New York Arts Projects and de-
manded a larger proportion of Me-
groes on WPA projects, especially
III supervisory offices.
A large number of Negro and
white women delegates met Mrs.
Roosevelt as she entered the U. S.
Labor Departm NJ auditorium
where the conference was held.
Her entrance upon the stage re-
leased an explosion of applause
with repeated waves of cheer g
for a period of five minutes.
Mrs. Roosevelt stressed the
right of liberty for all in a de-
mocratic America and "the chance
for everybody to work for a de-
cent living" She warn;d that the
country was piling up its greatest
debt in its "under-fed children"
The keynote speech was made
by David LASER, National Pres
ident of ths Workers Alliance who
described the Right-To-Work Con-
gress a "a crusade for recovery
a call to action in the war against
unemployment and depression"

WORKERS CONGRESS- SC0R.
ES BIAS TORY ATTACKS
ON WPA,

Washington, June % Robert
Robinson for CNA)-Racial discri-
mination on many relief projects,
particularly in the South, and the
attacks of tories OF re cultural
projects of the WPA were de-
nounced by Negro and white
speakers at the national Right-to-
| Work Congress held here under
the sponsorship of the Workers
Alliance of America.
The Congress opened with 1900
Negro and white delegates from
thirty eight states, with hundreds
of other delegates reported still
on their way to Washington. Most
of the delegates were WPA work
ers, or people on relief, but there
were also many labor community,
fraternal and other organizations.
Speakers included Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, wife of the President,
Congressman, Federal, State and
municipal officials.
Although the Negro jobless are
proportionately two and three
times as large in number as the
white jobless, Negroes are far
below this proportion on the WPA
rolls and relief, lists, John P.
Davis, executive secretary of the
National Negro Congress, told
the conference. He de nounced
racial discrimination in relief as
economically unsound.
Professor Doxey Wilkerson, of
Howard University, assailed the
present campaign in Congress to
curtail and even totally abolish
the WPA cultural projects. Will
kerson was introduced by Tom
Quinn, of the Artists Union of
New York City, who called for a
struggle against those who would
destroy the WPA. Quinn pointed
out that the arts and cultural pro-
jeets have been used as a focal
point for the attacks on WPA by
the reactionary block in Congress
and the National Chamber of
Commerce.
Professor Wilkerson asserted
that the chief attacks on the cul-
tural projects of the WPA ara
brought by those who fear the
enlig htenment CT the American
people.
Enlightenment of the people
brings about the building of free
men," he said. "But we do not
have a system of work which al.
lows men to lead that sort OF
life. Certain forces don't want the
people to get what they do not
have"

New York. The u. S. Urea
sury's section of fine arts has de-
cided that the WPA Mural by Ste
fan Hirsch, shall remain in the
federal court at Aiken, s. c.,
where u. S. District Judge Frank
X. Myers sits, because il "is re-
garded as a distinguished example
of contemporary American wall
painting by a most able artist"
Last March, Judge Myers or
dered the painting covered up be-
cause the Central figure Justice"
appears to be that of a mula.to

After several weeks in the court
room with the covered mural,
Judge Myers informed the Urea
sury Department that he wanted
the painting entirely removed.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
protested to the Department of
Justice over the Judges action,
but T. D. Quinn, administrative
assistant under u. S Attorney
General Murphy, said the matter
was up to Judge Myers to decide.

the matter to the attention of

In accordance with the United
States Housing Acts, for all new
dwellings, in a USHA-a'ded pro-
ject an equal number of sub
standard homes must be elinin-
ated. In Buffalo and New York
City a large number of such sub
standard homes were torn down
on the project site before con-
struction began. In Jacksonville
and Austin, where khe projects
were built practically on vacant
land, the city authorit es are now
securing the demolition or COM
pulsory repair of an equal num-
Der a Llum dwellings located
elsewhere.

now under way in 100 commune
lies throughout the land. One
havo either contracts or ear
markings outstanding.
Funds available to the USHA at
present will permit approximate
ly 100000 family dwelling units
to be built, rehousing a total of
mor than half a million people.
The Wagner-Seagall Bill which
has been parsed by the Senate au-
thorizing the USHA to lend an
additional $500, 900 900 and adding
$40, OO0, 900 a year to the amount
available for annual subsidies will
if it receives Congressional appro-
val permit the United States
Housing Authority to rehouse a
total of more than 100000 fami-
lies.
The slum clearance and low-rent
housing program is a cooperative
job between the local housing au-
liberties and the United States
Hou'ing Authority. The USHA
lends up to 80 per cent of the de-
velopment cost to the local author
ity. Both of these loans are all
paid back, principal and interest,
over a period of 60 years.
To make low rents possible, the
USHA makes an annual contri-
button or grant in aid to each
local authority. At least 10 per
cent of the development cost is
borrowed locally from sources
other than the USHA. In addition.
the locality. to get rents still
lower, makes an annual contribu-
ton which averages about one-half
CT the annual contributor made
by the USHA. This is usually in
the form of tax exemption. Thus.
the USIlA serves primarily as
banker and technical adviser.
Complete responsibility for design
construction and management
rests with the local authorities.
The program is wholly decen-
traliged. -~- ~

CORNER
by Henry Seidel Candy
Editor, Saturday Review of
Literature

New York, N. Y. July l. You
can stroke even a wild animal, un-
less you brighten him; then he will
bite. The masses of men and wo-
men in the so-called civilized world
have been frightened for the last
ten years; their books, even their
moving pictures have not.
That is a strange circumstance
of the present not often noticed.
Our literary world has not been
panicky, except IN Germany under
the initiation, or in the bombed a.
reas of 1889, or in Europe gen.
orally last Autumn.
Fear, suspicion and mistrust are
motivating forces toward ~intoler-
ance forces which should be guard
ed against. Realizing this the
Council Against Intolerance in A
merica has projected a nationwide
lndepence Day Ceremony center
ed around an American Declara-
ton of Tolerance and Equality, in
itiated by George Gordon Battle,
United States Senator w. Warren
Barbour of New Jersey and Will
liam Allen White, co-chairman of
tho Council.
Fear Brings Intolerance
Fright, active or passive, was
the steady condition of an earlier
world, except for the briefest per-
iods of assurance. You can read it
in the words of litany, see it
painted into the great religious
pictures of the Christian tradition
find it described in every history.
The Omaha guide., 1939-07-01

The present was always a little
afraid and so was the knight.
The short term reaction was vio-
lence, the long term reaction vas
intolerance.
Racial Purity Bunk
Europeans and particularly those
countries that suffered most dur
ing and after the war have fallen
back into self distrust and fear of
the alien. Every speech of Hitler
states Historically the superiority
of the German to other races and
nations, and the need of protect
ing the Reich against strangers,
inside and outside of its boundar-
les. The bunk about racial purity
and national purity is not new
it springs from exactly the same
causes which have always produc-
ed intolerance-the dangers tire
enine the racial group. the fear,
and hence the hatred of those not
in the group, VIII if feared and
tated, can be held responsible for
failures at hme as well IS the
menace from abroad.
Writers For Tolerance
The wise, the good and the most
competent writers of the post war
period have not gone back to the
dark age.
There has never been a more i'm
pressive testimony to the need and
possibility of tolerance than in the
important books, in all the great
languages, written since 1918
Galsworthy, Wells. Hardy, Shaw,
Mann, Remarque, Romans, Und-
set, Lewis, Buck, Gather, Dresser,
Santavana, O'Neill, Gasset, Croce,
Zweig all have deviled their fin
est energies to a better understand
ing of the differences among men.
That kind of romance which made
triumphing over ~"inferior" breeds
of men romantic, has almost dis
appeared, even from the movies.
Against the persuasive ignorance
and hatred based on fear. and spec
ial pleading, of a MEN Kampf"
there is an array of witnesses that
only need to be known in order to
be heard.
