NEGROES AGAIN IN DANGER
OF LOSING PROJECT HOMES

Detroit, Mich.,.. In spite of his
decision of February 2, to uphold
Negro occupancy of the Sojourn-
er Truth homes here, G. F. Palm
er, Coordinator of Defense Hous-
ing, has again yielded to pressure
to delay this occupancy. and as a
result, colored families may not
be allowed to move in, the Ma
ACP learned this week.
According to Louis Martin, edi-
tor of the Michigan Chronicle,
four local city councilmen, Gus
Dorais, Bill Rogell, Eugene Van
Antwerp and James Garlick, wir-
ed Palmer last week to delay oc-
cupancy for two weeks SO that
they would have time to try to
find another site for a Negro
Project" Palmer yielded, dcs-
pite the fact that the mayor and
the city council had gone On rec
ord to restore the project to col
ored defense workers.
1t was also reported that three
Catholic priests testified before a
meeting of the council in oppose
ton to occupancy of the project
by Negroes.
Detroit is in an uproar over the
month-long battle over Sojourner
Truth homes which were original
ly built for colored tenants. The
controversy has drawn nation
wide interest and it's political ram
ifications are widespread.

SUPPLEMENTARY RACIAL
POLICY FOR NEGRO
DEFENSE HOUSING

Asserting that the public in
terest and the war program DEM
and that equitable provision for
housing be made for Negro def
ense workers." Charles r. Palmer
Coordinator of Defense Housing,
this week announced a supplement
! tary racial policy adopted by the
Division of Defense Housing Co.
ordination.
This statement of policy, work.
ed out in operation with Robert
Taylor, Consultant, calls atter-
ton to the urgent need for horls-
ing Negro workers, indicates the
problems involved in the selection
of sites, and sets forth certain pro-
cedures for the development Of de-
Tense housing projects.
Under the new policy, the FEEDER
/ al agencies selecting sites are re-
quested ito secure the opinions,
approval, and cooperation Of the
local housing authorities and or
other responsible public and civic
groups, including responsible Me-
gro leadership, before final dects-
ion and public announcement Is
made of the Site"
Because most projects are dew
eloped on vacant sites the select
ion Of a site for Negro occupancy
has become a major problem
due to the scarcity of open areas
in Negro neighborhoods and oppos
ition encountered when such sites
in other neighborhoods are propos-
ed. This difficulty, the Coordin-
4 ator suggests, shall not constitute
an impeachment to the defense pro-
gram through the failure to prov
ide adequate housing for Negro
war workers" Nor should it te
used as an excuse for the select
ion of sites which violate accept
able housing principles and stand
ards"
The policy further proposes that
the Federal agencies developing
the projects have their race rela-
ton offices review and advise con-
corning sites previous to final de-
termination and utilize to the
fullest" their respective racial
relations divisions and that Of the
Coordinator's office in an attempt
to create desirable interracial re-
lations in a community by estab-
fishing contacts with enlightened
and responsible local persons and
groups"
In determining the need Of de-
Tense housing for Negroes, the
new policy proposes that studies Re
fade of the extent Of Immigration
of Negro war workers to defense
localities, the extent of anticipated
immigration, and the impact pro-
duced On resident Negro war wor-
kers by immigration of white war
workers.
The new policy supplements a
statement of policy or racial rela-
tons issued last spring by Mr..
Palmer. The earlier statement set
forth certain measures ito assure
equitable and adequate housing
facilities to eligible Negro person

10 Not Guilty, , Guity In Lewis Case
JURY UNABLE TO AGREE, DISMISSED
BY JUDGE DAY AFTER 21 HOURS
OF DELIBERATION ON CASE

\ Last week district court case
number n involving Herman
Lewis, was tried before Judge w.
A. Day. The case was there on
appeal from the Police court in
which Lewis had been convicted OF
interfering with officers and le-
sisting arrest.
It was brought out in the trial
last week that on the night of May
9th, 1941, three men, claiming tc
be Federal officers, went to the
Lewis home about 9 p. m. and ask
ed for a woman named Title
Monroe and told by Lewis
she worked there; that the offic-
ers (they later were identified as
police officers) pushed thir way
into the house; that Lewis asked
them if they had a warrant fcr
the person they sought and they
told him they did not have a war
rant. Lewis then called his at
torney and asked his advice and
his attorney advised him that they
would have to have a warrant
Whereupon Lewis ordered the Of
ficers from his home. Instead OF
leaving they pounced upon Lewis
and beat him into Inconsistencies
with weapons they carried. At
forwards they arrested Title Mon.
roe and Lewis.
Lewis contended in the district
court last week that the Officers
violated his constitutional rights by
entering his home without a war
rant and as5aulting him there re-
cause he asked for evidence of
their legal authority.
The case on appeal was tried for
two days. After the case was
given to the jury, it deliberated q
hours. During all that time ten
of the jurors voted at all times
to acquit Lewis and two of them
voted to convict him. All mem
bers of the jury were white.
The jury, being unable to agree
was discharged by Judge Day.
City Prosecutor Raenari announc-
ed he would set the case for re
trial at once. This is the same
case which formed the basis of
charges used by the City council
to dismiss Lewis from the City
Fire Department last June. In
the case of the council, the seven
city commissioners found Lewis
guilty and fired him, but the jury
last week, after hearing the same
facts voted ten NOT GUILTY and
two guilty. The jury apparently
acted on the evidence and the law;
the Omaha City Council it seems
acted On neither, but on their pre-
JUDGES.
Judge Day who heard the case
was fair throughout the trial and
sought in every way to protect the
interests Of Lewis and the State.
The State was represented by
City Prosecutor Raenari and Mr..
Lewis was represented by Attor-
neys H. J. Pinket antd c. E. Walsh
