Office Building

An apartment project containing
682 family dwelling units, to be
privately built and financed, will
be erected at Suitland, Md, ada
cent to the Government Office build
ing under construction there, it was
announced today.
Known as Suitland Manor, the
apartments will be built by Sam
Minskoff & Sons of New York City.
The development will consist of a
group of English-type garden apart
ments, two stories in height. The
project will be insured by the Fed
eral Housing Administration.
Work will be started Immediately
on 108 buildings, which will in
clude four family units each. The
units will have three rooms. 1t
was stated that the apartments.
scheduled to rent at S46 to $50 per
month. will be available for defense
workers only. Work will be started
within the next few weeks on an
pIllcI SIOup VI GOU d Pal IIllCllto. Lie
first apartments are expected to be
ready for occupancy by August l.
Architectural plans for the build
ings were prepared by Edwin Weihe,
Washington architect.
Though it is planned to have
eventually large group of Govern
ment offices at Suitland, the build
ing now nearing completion will
accommodate about 5000 workers.
Just what agency will occupy the
structure has not been decided def
nitely. The o. P. A.. headed by Leon
Henderson, formerly was scheduled
to move there However, current
plans call for its occupancy by the
Census Bureau, now quartered in
Southwest Washington. These lat
est plans are subject to change.
A number of other private and
Government housing developments
are planned for the Suitland area.

by private industry should have
use after the war. That does not
mean $4,000 housing in most cities
it means $4,000 and $4,000 housing.
-. Rehabilitation is the cheapest
method of producing additional
housing. and the use of existing
structures and utilities - streets,
water. electricity. sewers. etc.-will
protect rather than harm property
values.
'3. Too much new housing built on
the rims of cities, speeding the
abandonment of centralized loca-
tions, or built where large amount
of substantial but neglected hous-
ing exists, may cause a serious
situation in many communities
when war industries are closed

the necessity of doing away
with other fuXuries in order to
strip decks for action, racial
discrimination, the most ex-
pensive Of 1uxuries, certainly
should not be allowed to con-
tinue doing business as usual"
Far too many industrialists and
unions have not yielded a single
inch in their bitter determination
that Negro workers shall not share
the opportunity given other work
ers to move up the economic scale
as the result of the war. This is
an undisputable and tragic fact
that must be considered if the
"job freezing" proposals are not
to work undue hardships on any
ore group.
THE STORY IN MACON
No excitement is created when
white women quit jobs as watt
resses. elevator operators and kind
red tasks to seek higher pay
working in the huge fuse plant at
Macon, Ca, the management of
which thus far has refused to con-
slider Negro women for any of these
jobs.
But the instant Negro wom-

week domestic service jobs
10 accept the Army's offer Of
$3.50 to $500 a day to work as
cooks, maids and laundresses
at Camp Wheeler, big howl is
raised that the stable wage
scales" of Macon are being
threatened.
w. T. Anderson, editor of the
Macon Telegraph, who for years
guised in sleeps clothing posed
as "friend" of Negroes, is in the
van guard of the protest, going
so far as to give credence TO the
vicious lie that is being spread
throughout the South about the
existence of Eleanor Clubs" whose
purpose, he says, is to "have every
white woman in her own kitchen
nv ChriStman."
NEGROES DENIED TRAINING
This unreasonable protest is
clearly a part and parcel Of the
determination shown by vuca-
tional education directors that
Negroes shall not be given train
ing for the skilled and better pay
ing occupations.
Eight months ago, after q
bitter fight by Atlanta Negro
leaders, federal money was APP
pr0priated to establish a train
