Virginia Church Paper
Calls for Study Of
|nterracia| Report
Says Recommendations
Are VoIueIess Unless
Broadcast to All
BY the Associated Press


RICHMOND Va. July s. - The
forthcoming issue of the Virginia
Methodist Advocate calls on Vir-
ginians to follow the pathway of
justice, OF reason. OF sanity of
brotherhood" in solving the racial
problem.
In an editorial the publication
declared that the Negro in the
South is uncertain whether South
ern whites will support efforts at
better race relations or whether he
must team up with radical leader
ship in the North to get redress of
grievances.
The paper said the recent meeting
in Richmond, in which 80 white
and 33 colored leaders of the South
inaugurated study of race rela-
tions, may prove to be "of epochal
Importance. 1t added that what
! ever recommendations come out of
such studies, however. are of no
value unless the churches and
schools and the various social and
civic groups bend every effort to
study these findings and to broad
cast them to Others"
The publication said that the riot
in Detroit was not one conducted by
white and colored leaders.
1T was the rank and file, and
mostly young men in their late teens
and early 20s,' the paper said. THE
Negro in the Southland - = is try
ing to make up his mind whether
Southern whites will give their sup
port to such measures as will come
from these interracial studies or
whether the only redress the Negro
has is to team up with radical lead
ership in the North and try the
method OF bloodshed and revolu-
ton"
The Advocate declared that what
happened in Detroit can happen in
Virginia, but that If it does, both
races will be the loser"

Rent Bureau
Sifts Hotel
Profiteering
Agents Check Up
On Servicemen's
Stories Of Goueing

The District Rent Control Admin
istration is doing everything within
its power to discourage the practice
of small, so-called hotels" from
boosting rates over week ends to
reap a rich harvest from service
men. Ernest F. Henry, its attorney,
said today.
The spotlight was focused on a
situation in which many lodging
house operators are profiting at the
expense of servicemen last Saturday
night when Star reporter tried in
vain to rent one of the 81 rooms
advertised in neon signs over many
of the establishments. The cheap
est he found for single room was
50 and the highest IS.
District rent control investigators
checked many of the same places
Sunday night, visiting IL of ap-
proximately IS such establishments,
and found conditions only slightly
changed. The highest price they
found was 50 for a single room, but
at no place were they asked to pay
more than 81 for two persons.
Cots Go Begging.
The War Hospitality Committee,
meanwhile, called attention to the
fact that many cots set up for serv-
icemen at the Memorial Bridge
recreation area are going begging
for occupants. Last Saturday night
800 cots were unoccupied, although
trucks made hourly pickups at des-
ignated stops from l1:40 pm. to S
am. transporting men to the place.
The committee expressed the be-
lief that if this service was more
widely known among both service
men and civilians alike it would help
relieve the situation Information
Is available at Executive 1882 before
midnight and at Executive 1928 after
midnight.
Mr.. Henry said the Rent Control
Administration has jurisdiction over
such places and is assuming it Ito
a certain degree" Such practices
are not new, however, he said. but
that guilty operators have been
doing it for years"
81 and Up Practice.
Under the Rent Act effective JAM
uary l, l941. rates in force that
date were frozen. This meant, Mr..
Henry said, that their practices
were frozen. even though some of
those practices were not so good. ~
If they advertised rooms 81 and up"
the law permitted them to continue
charging as high as their interpre-
tation of up
Among the practices he referred
to was that of advertising as "ho-
tells" when they actually we're lodg-
ing houses, operating on SIS lodging
house permits, and of publicizing
81 rooms and then telling prospec-
tive guests all rooms at that price
had been rented
The RCA has difficulty obtaining
evidence against such places because
transients don't have the time or
won't trouble to complain about
overcharges. The lodging houses are
supposed to display list of prices
where guests may see them and also
file copies of such lists with the Rent
Control Administration. Many have
complied with this regulation and
others will be forced to do so, Mr..
Henry said.
Use of the word hotel" is mis-
leading, he said, and gives visitors
the impression that the place offers
services expected in a regular hotel
and is under similar supervision. All
of these places, he pointed out.
