Payment of Unemployment
Compensation benefits in Illinois
during the month Of January
showed a slight increase over the
preceding month, according to fl
CURES released this week by Fran

ut is probable that much Of
this increase can be attributed to

Director Murphy. Most workers
who are temporarily unemplOy-
ed as industry prepares for full
war production are eligible for
job insurance benefits under the

ance is Of several months stand

staged a work stoppage in Sep

also q similar development at the

prevented the upgrading Of Ne

"These recent developments in
the Detroit area are significant
for two reasons. First, Negroes
are being migrated into d va
riety Of skilled jobs III an indus
try where, with few eXceptiors,
they had been stratified i'll foun-
dry, janitorial and other unsl1ill-
ed classifiCations- This IS q war

Equally significant has been
the action Of international Off

Starts Fight
ON HOUSING
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 10 :

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 19 =
(By Barbee w. Durham for AMP
49, Immediately upon the an
nourcem ent by the Columbus
Metropolitan Housing authority
(CMHA) that Negroes are to be
restricted to one project, PoindeX-
ter village, and are not to be adj
mitted to any Of the three others
erected in Columbus, the militant
Vanguard league began an all
out fight against such racial dis
elimination. The three projects,
which are just being completed,
are Riverside homes, Lincoln
Park homes and Sullivant gar
dens.
In issuing a statement on the
matter Of tenant selection, the
CMHA said that preference was
being given to defense workers,
and then to those applicant
qualifying" The statement fur
ther pointed out that Negroes oc-
cupied 26 per cent Of the sub
standard housing units in the city
and that "The 426 units in Pom
dexter village represent 31.5 per
cent Of the 1852 units construct
ed by the local authority. Since
the ratio Of Negro occupied sub
standard units to the total sub
standard units in the city is 5 per
cent less than the ratio of new
units made available to Negro
families, it is the sense of the
local authority that the occupan-r
cy Of Lincoln Park homes, River
side homes and Sullivant gardens
by white families will not result A
in discrimination. ..
Learning that the Rev. @. T.
Jenkins, pastor Of Second Bap-
t;st church and member Of the

against the policy, the Vanguard
league sent him strong letter.
