Washington, August 10, CHARLES

i1ation and the American FEEDER

declared to be the most effec-
tive action taken by the WPA
workers in their fight for revision
of the Woodrum law.
Reports from various states
showed that hundreds of projects
were closed down as the workers
absented themselves from their
jobs to voice their indignation. In
New Cork City, out of a total Of
102, 900 workers normally employ
ed on WPA projects, $4,000 were
reported to have responded to
the stop work call. Figures from
other large industrial areas like
Pittsburgh, Chicago and Cleveland
reveal the same high percentage.
Leaders of the demonstration
were especially pleased at the re-

RENTS ON CHICAGO'S SOUTH
SIDE FOUND HIGHER THAN IN
RITZY WHITE DISTRICT

Chicago, August 10, Howard
Lawrence for CNA)- Tenants of
Chicago's South Side slums pay
higher rents than t he wealthy
whites living on Gold Coast, a rit-
zy district.
This startling statement was
made this week by Arthur Bohnen,
white architect and former con-
sultant of the Chicago Housing
Authority, at a meeting of the CT
ty Council Committee on Hous-
ing.
Bohnen told the subcommittee,
of which Alderman Earl B. Dick
erson, End ward, rs chairman that
the rent per room in the Black
Belt in many cases was $50 per
month per room.
In reply to a question by Alder
man Paul H. Douglas, 9Th Ward,
the housing expert cited building
on the Gold Coast where the rent
was only $22 to $27 per month.
In the case of Chicago's Negro
citizens, Bohnen declared, whole
families of various exc occupied
n room, while on the Gold Coast
a small family might S an a
partment of several rooms.
Groom for room and by floor
space the rent is lower on the
Gold Coast in many instances"
said Bohnen.
Jim-crow housing restrictions
were blamed for the excessive
rents, Bohnen explained.
These restrictions were written
into real estate contracts and are
known as restrictive covenants"
According to Bohnen, these cove
nants created abnormal demands
for space in the restricted areas
where Negroes IRE permitted to
live.
Calmly reciting facts and fig
ures, the housing expert dealt with
the overcrowding of a large por-
ton of Chicago's population into

Rritisher Proposes Afri-
can Buffer State To Solve
Worlds Color Problem

London, Eng. Aug. 8 amp
A. ]. Siggins' proposal for an
African Buffer state seems to find
greater favor among African
people than the fantastic plan of
fered by Americas Senator 7. G.
Balbo, according to press dis
patches received here. Outlining
his plan in a statement printed
in the British Australian and New
Zealander magazine, Mr.. Siggins,
prominent white Britisher, said:
1.-THE proposal is that a Great
Britain, France, Belgium, Portu-
gal, Italy, Spain, Egypt, Abys-
sinia because the conquest by
Italy has not been recognized by
USA, USSR and the majority of
colored peoples) and the Union of
South Africa should agree to the
formation of a free and indepen-
dent Buffet state between the
Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn
in Africa to replace the present
colonial possessions.
"Abyssinia and Liberia shall be
recognized as independent states
With nthe Buffer state, but shall
be part of the latter's framework.
The Buffer state shall be admin
istered by a regency council while
research is being made for the
form of a constitution, codes of
law, monetary system and all the
machinery of a modern state;
bearing in mind, however, that
the new state will be an african
state, and the regency council
will fulfill all the duties and as
sumo all the responsibilities of
ideal trustees.

NAACP YOUTH LEADER Is
JAILED ON FRAME-UP IN
SOUTH CAROLINA COURT

September II. He has been fear
less in going about his activities
and has not been inundated by
threats from the Ku Klux Khan or
newspaper publicity.
Failing to brighten Anderson
from his activity, the leaders of
the opposition framed a charge a
gainst him involving a white girl
which, in this section Of the coun-
try is regarded as a safe method
Of conviction.
Anderson is the ~janitor Of the
City Junior high school. A white
woman telephoned the police that
her daughter had been annoyed
hy requests for dates ove rthe tele-
phone The call is supposed to have
been traced to the City Junior
high school. Anderson told officers
who ~arrested him that three white
bows had asked to use the tele-
pone and he had permitted them
to use it. On the way to Jail, one
detective told Anderson: You're
the kind of Negro | would rather
kill than take to jail and when we
get through with you, you will not
be able to use a telephone.
Feeling has been running high
here for several weeks aus 500 as
Il was noted that Negro citizens
were registering TO vote in the CT
ty primary. The Khan has issued
a public call to all members TO de
fend white supremacy Advertise
ments from the khan have ap-
peared in the daily papers. Strea-
mer headlines have appeared in all
dailies. Anderson has been 'on the
spot" from the beginning and ev-
eryone familiar with the situa-
ton believes that it is ridiculous
to think that in this kind of an
atmosphere Anderson would be
guilty of any act which would in
jure the cause. Furthermore, the
fact that the jury was out for
more than four hours and that
once it sent in for a transcript of
the testimony indicates that And
erson must not be guilty, but his
conviction deemed necessary IN
order to brighten Negroes away
from the polls. The NAACP head
quarters in New York City has
sent word offering full coopera-
ton in the legal battle ahead.

lieation of reports that the action
had been called off. At the same
time Ralph Burton, chief investi-
gator of the Woodrum Committee
sought to intimidate WPA employ
es by ordering WPA officials in
New York City to report the names
Of all those who participated in
the one-day stoppage. Incensed by
this %invaeion Of their democratic
rights, WPA workers of that eli
ty pieketed the Hotel New Yorker
where the committee was holding
its hearings.
Alliance leaders announced that
the number of Negroes who took
pars in the demonstration far ex-
ceeded their estimates. Negro at
tendance was said to have num-
hered several thousands with New
York showing the highest figure.
Tho Alliance announced it had
started a drive to flood Senators
and Congressman with kilograms
and letters urging favorable ac-
ton on Senator Murray's resolu-
ton for an increased WPA appro-
priation. Heads of the organiza-
ton said they planned to have a
number of delegations in the ma
tional capital during the next few
weeks for the purpose of effecting
Congressional action on necessary
changes in the Woodrum law
