Plans To Fill

Begin Feb. |.
New Brooklyn Homes Will

On About May |
HOUSE 246 FAMILIES
Manager Willie Burnett
Scheduled To Garry Out
Preliminary Work

Preliminary plans for the selec-
ton of negro tenants for the New
Brooklyn homes, low rent housing
project now under construction in
the northern section of the city, will
start about February 1 and the
apartments will be ready for occu-
pancy on about May 1, housing Off
Gals said last night.
Willie Burnett, recently employed
negro manager for the houses, will
carry out most of the preliminary
work and actual selection Of tenants
will follow.
Interviews Planned
The 246 families to be given living
quarters in the New Brooklyn homes
will be selected by interviewing ap-
plicants. AS it is expected that
there will be many more applicants
than there are houses, certain quail
fications must be met by the negroes
before they will be allowed to take
up residence in the loW-rent quar-
tiers.
The principal requirement is that
they must be living in a sub-stand-
ard home at the time of their ap-
plication. And ub-standard homes
will be adjudged in relation to a reso-
luton along this line recently adopt
ed by the housing authority. The
authority and it's agents will be the
sole agents in the definition of SUBJ
standard homes.
To meet the requirements Of a
standard house, the structure must
have running water inside, must be
in need of no major repairing such
as a new roof, must have a bath
tub and must have sanitary toilet
facilities. A composite of these and
other lesser requirements will deter
mine if the house is below the stand
ard set up by the authority.
Another Requirement
Another requirement to be me.
by applicants for quarters in the
new homes is that a negro who has
three dependents must be earning
no more than five times the amount
of his rent. That is, if his rent
amounts to $40 per month, he may
not be earning a salary Of more
than 500 per month. These figures
are merely examples, housing off,
Gals said, present no indication of
the actual rents to be charged. This
salary limitation will be raised if the

I'm afraid it is going to be a

cratic floor leader, after a series Of
conferences, including n with
President Roosevelt, 81 don't see any
chance of getting away early"
He said the session probably
would continue until the national
political conventions, which. ordi-
narily come in June, but which may
be held later this year.
All this represented an abrupt
about-face on the part of adminis-
tration leaders. For months they
had pinned their hopes on keeping
controversies at a minimum, with
the dual purpose of having a united
nation face the war abroad and a
united democratic party face the
political battles at home.
That presidential politics, with its
ever deeply seated ~antagonism,
would dominate the session was obs
vious today from the nature Of the
conversations between the newly re-
turned lawmakers. Many said this
subject, with it's allied third-term
question, was foremost, and would
overshadow most of the issues on
the sessions program.
Leaders Called
AS a preliminary to the opening
session Mr.. Roosevelt called to the
White House the democratic leaders
including Vice-President Garner,
who is in the race for the presiden.
tial nomination. The President went
over with them the main points he
expects to make In his annual mes
sage to congress, which he is to dc.
liver in person to a joint session Of
house and senate tomorrow.
After the conference, Barley told
reporters he expected the message
to deal largely with foreign affairs,
and to take the form of a report to
congress on what the administration
has done to preserve the neutrality
of the United States, and exert it's
influence for peace abroad.

White House were Speaker Bank

Widely Known Agriculture
al Editor Removes Him
self From 1910 Race

RALEIGH, Jan. 2.-CP-Dr. Clar-
ence Poe, widely known agricultural
editor, removed himself from North
Cardinals 1910 gubernatorial race
today.
DR.. Poe said he was defeating
himself to the southwide ten-year
program for balanced prosperity

the southern governors conference
instead of seeking the democratic

l Il State Treasurer Charles
\ son, who like Poe had been
" mentioned as a possible CUB
E rial candidate, announced he
not seek the governorship
b. would run for reelection.
We're has been speculation that
former State Senator L. L. Gravely
Of Rocky Mount and Willis Smith,
Raleigh lawyer, would both announce
within a week for the governor
ship. There are a number of other
prospective gubernatorial candidates
also.
DR.. Poe said there was "far-
reaching and compelling demand
that he run for governor "only pe-
cause the agriculture of North Caro-
lima is in a period of crisis and
transition in which neglect and in
differences may lead to statewide
disaster while courageous and eff
fective planning may place our
farmers on a better basis than ever
before"
After outlining a program for the
state through the newspapers De
cember 10, Doctor Poe said he went
TO the southern governors confer
ence where the 10-year program was
agreed upon. Leaving that meeting,
he said he told companions:
