SAYS HOUSING
DEPENDS UPON
PUBLIC SPIRIT
DR.. Frank S. Horne
Spoke Before
Crow d

BALTIMORE-(ANP)-- Whether
or not Negro war workers get ade-
quate housing depends on whether
or not the American people are
really all out with our war effort.
DR.. Frank S. Horne, director, racial
relations section. Federal Public
Housing administration, said here
Thursday night.
He was addressing the Maryland
State Conference Of Social Welfare
on the Problems OF Housing Ne
groes" The session was held at the
Lord Baltimore hotel.
1t seems that the most desirable
areas for housing are labelled "for
white only" he said. and therefore
not available to black workers. To
the objective observer who is no,
entirely familiar with all OF the
social. economic and historic factors
involved. he added. such procedure
would seem Just about as reasonable
rs a CIO paratrooper under fire
refusing to Use tommy gun which
had been made by an ALL NUM-
tons worker.
The shipyard and the munitions
plant. under the pressure OF need.
are rapidly changing their tradi-
tional policy Of using white workers
only" DR.. Horne declared. They
are wasting neither time Tor ma
terial to set up any special or sepa.
rate organization to handle these
workers, but are pitching them into
the places where they can turn out
the most material. Housing is still
tagging behind.
Alert and truly patriotic COM
nunities all over the country are
moving 10 break this bo.tleneck
with the same American vigor and
directness that charact rizes our
whipping OF our production prob
lem"
Dr.. Horne was speaking in a city
where various elements are at log
gerhesds as TO whether or not
project for Negro war workers
should be erected on a site that is
indeed the most suitable for prac-
teal purposes, although il would
be bordered-with wide margin-
by white residential developments.
