More Changes Likely,
Murphy Says After
Press Head Choice
Joseph H. MuIcohy Takes
Departmental Assignment,
Succeeding Gordon Dean

Additional changes are in pros
pect in the administrative Offices of
the Department of Justice. where
several already have been made
in recent weeks. Attorney General
Murphy told his press conference
late yesterday in announcing the
appointment of Joseph H. Mulcahy
as executive assistant to the At
torney General in charge of press
relations.
Mr.. Mulcahy, who has held
executive positions on Hearst news
papers in Detroit, New York and
San Francisco, is succeeding Gordon
Dean, who is taking up law work
in the antitrust division of the
department.
Attorney General Murphy spoke
of the regard in which he held
Mr.. Dean, and, on behalf of the
newsmen assigned to the depart
ment, Lewis Wood of the New York
Times voiced appreciation for the
cooperation received from the re-
tiring official, who formerly served
under Attorney General Cummings.
Mr.. Murphy did not specify what
other changes are in mind.
The Attorney General also said
he was looking around for a place
for former Senator j. Thomas
Hef1in, saying that he would like
to give job" to the Alabaman who
has twice unsuccessfully sought to
return to the Senate after being
dropped by his party for fighting
Alfred E. Smith in the presidential
campaign of 1928.
Mr.. Heflin was special assistant
to the Attorney General in the first
Roosevelt administration, but gave
up the position to seek the Senate
seat won eventually by the then
Representative Lister Hill.

HOUSING HIT

1t has been disclosed recently that large number
of Detroit property owners have organized virtual
crusade against the building Of any more Govern
ment housing projects and petitions to this end are
being circulated throughout the city, The petition
which will soon be presented to the Common Council
contains such paragraphs as the following:
Tenants of these projects occupying them at
low rentals to the detrment of property owners and
taxpayers throughout the entire city, number OF
whose properties are vacant and who must continue
to pay taxes"
1t is obvious that the big realty interests in the
city are worried because it that several hun
bred smal-ncome families are living in decent homes
without having to mortgage their souls The tlre-
traps and rundown shacks are being vacated by
people who are happy to have the opportunity TO
live in civilized way. The private property interests
are alarmed and they out to get the New Deal,
the President and anybody else that they feel is re-
sponsble for permitting poor people to live decenty
The selfish realty bg-wigs demand that the gov
eminent turn over the job of housing to them and
stop permitting poor people to escape taxes. Ihey
forget that the whole theory of taxes is based on
ability to pay them. They forget that before the
government took the initiative and started building
private interests were forcing half the population
70 live in Lighthouses and re-traps the like of which
cost many families their lives through disease and
fire. We Negroes more than any other group know
how the rent-gouglng private properly owners 1eel
about low-coSt housing.
The only reason that government got into the build
ing business was because private interests clearly
demonstrated that they were interested in but one
thing huge profits. Can we believe now that these
bigwigs have had change of heart? The Negroes
of Detroit know the answer We must also translate
our convictions into action and those who organize
against low-cost housing and other social benefits
will find that they will be confronted by organized
opposition. Our opportunities for social advance
ment are too few to be taken lightly.
