The monarch was reported In
close contact with Johann Fabricius
the German minister, and there
were signs that the Berlin govern
ment was interesting itself in all
the details Of the Rumanian situa-
ton.
AS matters stood, however, there
was vital question as to Ru-
mania's future policy in the event
of new attacks on its frontiers.
The country observed a formal
day of mourning over the loss to
Soviet Russia, under Moscow's ulti-
matum, of one-sixth of its terri
tory - Bessarabia and Northern

A general staff communique an

the Danube at Vilkof, proceeding
up river to REM, and thence up
the Pruth river to a junction with
the southern tip Of Russian Poland.
While noon today had been fixed
as the deadline for the retirement
from the ceded areas, the Ruman-

Despite the official mourning,
there was no slackening of defense

AUTHORITIES MEET

The first annual summer session
of the North Carolina Council of
Housing Authorities was held yes
terday afternoon at the Ocean Ter
race hotel, with every housing au-
thority in the state being repre-
sented.
Members of the. council jour-
neyed to the beach after attending
the dedication exercises yesterday
morning at New Brooklyn Homes,
negro housing project in the north
ern sector of the city.
After luncheon, at which Theo-
dore S. Johnson, of Raleigh, presi-
dent of the council, presided,
business session and round table
discussions were held under the
leadership of the Rev. Walter B.
Freed, member of the local auth
ority, and pastor of St. Pauls
Lutheran church.
First Discussion
The Rev. Jack Rountree, chair
man of the Kinston authority, led
the first discussion on problems
facing new authorities.
He enumerated a great many
difficulties encountered by the Kin
ston authorities, but said that the
principal difficulty is overcoming
the selfish desire of certain people
in any community to better them
selves at the expense of others
Hess fortunate.
R. K. Creighton, executive di-
rector of the Raleigh authority,
led a discussion on defense hous-
ing and said that in any program
of defense housing in the nation it
now appears probable the USHA
will use the services of local auth
critics where such exist and that
in any event any defense housing
structures erected will be built
with the idea of using them, after
the emergency has passed, as a
part of a long time housing pro-
gram.
Local authorities however, he
said, should be on the alert to pre-
vent GENERALIZATION of housing auth
ority in Washington, that they
should be sure that any defense
prog am in North Carolina pro-
vides for the construction only of
that type unit which can later be
integrated with the long time hous-
ing program and that they take
especial care, even if engaged in
defense housing, to keep the slum
dweller in the fore of their minds.
The final discussion, dealing
with problems of tenants selec-
ton, was led by Harold ]. Ollie
hay, executive director of the
Charlotte authority.
Routine business matters were
attended to at the close of the
discussions and the meeting ad-
journed without setting a date for
its next meeting. l

According to the communications

The role Of the Modoc in the

Less drastic measures were neces'.

speaker. He told of the coopera-
ton between the city government
and the Housing Authority of the
City of Wilmington and introduced
DR.. w. Houston Moore, the Rev.
Mr.. Freed, R. Stewart, c. B. Kor-
negay and Harry Solomon, men,
bers Of the housing authority.
Comparison
He compared the former and
present status of the first tw o
families which have been moved
into the housing project, praised
the authority for the work it has
done, and predicted a great future
for public housing in Wilmington.
DR.. Moore expressed the appre-
ciation OF the members of the au.
thority to all those who have aided
in the work which the authority
is doing and of the aims and
ideals which the HACOW hopes to
attain in the operation of the pro-
ject.
Theodore S. johnson, of Raleigh,
president of the N. c. Council of
Housing Authorities, spoke briefly
of the appreciation of other au-
thorities in the state for the aid
which has been given them by the
Wilmington authority and called
the attention of Wilmington 1t o
the fact that the task has j us t
begun. You have just completed
the factory" he said, and the sue
cessful operation of the projects
is the real work which it is intend
ed the Housing authority should
do.
The Rev. o. E. Holder, rector
of St. Marks Episcopal church
and a member of the negro ad.
visory committee, spoke on the re-
lation of the project to the negro
race in Wilmington. To those who
live in the units of the project,
he said, it presents an opportuni.
ty to enjoy conveniences available
TO few, and it is their duty to take
advantage of their opportunities
and improve their status. To those
who do not live in the units, he
said, the project presents an op.
portunity and a challenge to learn
fine, convenient, healthful and ben.
eficial proper home can be.

with which it deals, with the evils
1t seeks to remedy, with the good
things which it seeks to foster and
promote. --.-
The creation of housing authori-
ties, slum clearance, the building of
decent quarters, and the raising of
standards of living are based upon
that principle"
He said that his experience of 40
active years with the courts las
shown "the futility of oppressive le.
gialation."
There is limit which oppressive
OF punitive system of laws must
have" he said, pointing out that
people like to conform to laws when
possible but that the example set
in community has more power to
make people do right than a law
which says Thou shalt not"
How moral problems may be af.
fected by external conditions is well
illustrated in the educational pro.
gress of this state" he said. THE
march from the log house to the
magnificent educational structures in
every school district in North Caro-
lima, the tangible educational facili
ties, also definitely mark educatio
nal progress itself and largely con-
trlbuted to it.. It is not speculation
to say that the comforts of home, alb
sence of squalor, the presence Of
things which promote decent living.
also improve the educational, moral
and cultural life of the people. There
is a deminite connection between de-
cent living, good health and good
morals.
OF Some Significance
II think 1t is of some significance
that the first housing project com
pleted in North Carolina is for the
occupancy of the colored race" he
said. 1T marks that friendliness anG
cooperation which we of this state
have always been so well convinced
exists between the two races. 1t is q
direct attempt to solve some Of the
most difficult problems which con
front the colored people in their en-
deavor to become, to be, and to re-
main a worthy part of the citizenr.
Of great state. The dignity which il
gives to living enables them, as In
deed it does our own race, to arrive
at a higher appreciation Of the in
tangible values of life. It gives then
an interest in things which stabilize
their character, in the things which
make life worth living; something
which will give them the faith anc
cuorage and the inspiration neces
sary to enable them to go step b,
step to higher culture, and to come
to full realization of the Biblica
truth: Righteousness exalteth a ma
ton, but sin is a reproach to any
people"
