Heroism of Navy rescue workers

enabled the rescue chamber to be
hauled up and down on four trips

Called Dangerous
I endency" BY
Walter White

NEW YORK, Jan. 27-Officials
of the Federal Housing Authority
were accused of exercising dan
gerous tendency" in assuming that
all human beings are incurably pre-
JUDGED by Walter White in an ad-
dress before the National Public
Housing Conference at the Com
modore Hotel here today.
Sharply criticizing the Govern
ment agency for discriminatory
practices that have worked to the
disadvantage of Negro citizens who
are entitled to decent housing, Mr..
White said:
1T has been my observation that
this discrimination is as frequently
due to ignorance and timidity on the
, part Of otherwise decent people in
terested in housing as it is due in
some instances to outright prejudice.
1t is an exceedingly dangerous
tendency for Federal officials to as
sumo that all human beings are in
curably prejudiced against members
, Of other racial groups. Coupled
with this is the tendency and even
the Willingness on the part of Off
cials TO succumb without protest to
what are assumed to be the preju-
dices Of those who are to be housed. 4
White pointed out that at recent
hearings held IN Syracuse, n. 7. by
the sew York State Temporary
Commission on the Condition of the
Colored Urban Population the head
Of the local housing project blandly
reeited now ten blocks Of Negro
slums and twenty blocks Of white
slams were destroyed to erect a
housing project exclusively for
white Americans.
WI hen pinned down. White said !,
this official sought to dodge by
saying that he would follow the
American Plan, which turned out
to be that Negroes dispossessed from
| the ten blocks of slums would have
to shift for themselves and find room
as best they could in some other
slum area

NEGROES TO BENEFIT THROUGH
FEDERAL HEALTH PLAN 49,,

WASHINGTON, Feb. / (ANP)-
Many Negroes who die annually be-
cause they cannot meet the high cost
of medical care or who wait until
the last moment to call doctor be-
cause of the expense attached may
have their lives prolonged If the vast
program of federal-state health
activities, to ultimately cost $780,
100000 year, is acceptable to com
gress in much the same form as it
was transmitted there. by President
Roosevelt last week.
This plan, drawn up BY the Presi-
dents special committee on health
and welfare, recommends compul-
sorry health insurance as it is now III
effect in many European countries.
1t would be administered like the
social security act. Each wage
Garner would pay approximately SIS
yearly into general state or county
fund. In return he would receive
medical care from the doctor of his
own choice, who would be paid di-
rectly out Of the general fund
The report also suggests that dis
ability insurance be included in the
health program, providing compen-
sation for a wage-earner incapacitat-
ed by illness OF injury.
For persons too poor to afford med
ical care, such as those whose in
come covers only food, shelter and
clothing, the health program calls
for the use Of federal. state and
local funds to pay the physician.
This group would be classed as
medically midget as differen-
tiated from those on relief and is
considered to be the most neglected
sections Of the population. Most Of
the sickness comes from this group.

WITHABUCKEYE
IN CONGRESS
BY CLARENCE J. BROWN,
Member Of Congress, Seventh Ohio
District

AS predicted ii this column last
week, the Senate sustained the cut
of one hundred and fifty million
dollars made IN the WPA appropria
ton by the House, despite the most
strenuous efforts Of Mr.. Roosevelt
and his Administration to have the
amount restored to the Bill. The
vote was close, and it was not until
the last name was called that the
outcome was certain. The final count
was AZ to 46 against the amendment
to restore the hundred and fifty
million dollars. It is the first time
since Mr.. Roosevelt has been Presi-
dent that the Senate has refused to
appropriate the exact amount of
money requested by him,
y Y =
One of the most discussed issues
boiling under, and bubbling above,
the surface of officialdom here IN
Washington recently is the question
as to whether or not the United
States should fortify the Island Of
Guam in the far Pacific. While
secret meetings have been held bN
the Naval Committee, rather open
discussions have been heard every
where regarding the problem. 1t is
argued by Naval leaders that the
fortifcation Of the Island IS alb
solutely necessary for a proper de-
fense Of the Philippines, Hawaii and
the Panama Canal State depart
ment officials and others opposed to
the fertilization insist that such
action would be contrary to present
treaties, would bring protest from
Japan, and would be Of little real
value in event of war. The strate
gists counter with the statement
that Japan has fortified islands near
Guam, in direct violation Of her
agreement made at the close Of the
World War, when the islands were
transferred to her.
y
Speaking Of War-for that seems
to be the subject that always crops
out whenever a few Congressman or
Senators get together-the one big
question III everybody's mind seems
to be whether OF not there will be a
general European war within the
next few months. Congressional
leaders are checking closely OH daily
happenings i'll Europe. They are
also endeavorlng to get some sort OF
definite statement from the Presi-
dent as to his foreign policy, and are
scrutinizing closely the Presidential
requests for appropriations for ARM
ament and defense. Most members
express themselves as favoring ade-
quate appropriations for defense
purposes, but want to be certain
that expenditures are made only for
the purpose of defending our own
land. They are opposed to any IN
tervention in the affairs Of other
nations that might embroil us id d
foreign war. Any appropriations
made will carry limitations against
the use Of defense funds for the CON
tinuation Of pump-priming on other
such New Deal policies. That there
is well defined propaganda cam
paign going on in favor of heavily
increased armament, and for the
building Of a gigantic war machine
seems quite evident.
