Sharply criticizing the Government

has been my observation that this dis
elimination is as frequently due to
ignorance and timidity on the part of
otherwise decent people interested in
housing as it is due in some instances
to outright prejudice. 1t is an exceed
ingly dangerous tendency for Federal
officials to assume that all human be-
ings are incurably prejudiced against
