DEFENSE HOUSING

DEFENSE HOUSING
: The federal government for semt
time has been building defense
workers homes througheut the
nation. In every case the question
OF race and color has come up fss
discussion. Those who administer
the federal housing projects Ieok
upon the race issue ~ enc Of the
very difficult hurdles In trying u
establish . housing project Tn any
given locality. Most Of the difficulty
that federal agents think they see
growing out Of occupancy Of . given
project by both Negroes and whites.
Is imaginary. and reflects more than
anything else. the agents swn
pre- JUDGED minds.
A few months ago. The federal
government appropriated three mil
lion 'o.lars 10 construct houses for
defense workers In the area OF the
Willow Run bomber plant When
this money was first Appropriated
there was 70 discussion about who
should live in the project. except
that whoever lived in the project
would be defense workers. Now
that the project S ready for occu-
pancy. an order comes down from
Washington. stating that the Ne
groes cannot be housed in this new
project Some OF the arguments 60
like this: that these projects are no;
family |welling units, but they are
dormitory Accommodations for
single reorle; this throws people
IN fairly close contact Because OF
this close contact. race friction may
develop. Further. it was stated that
there was being erected other
projects in which Negroes will be
the sole occupants. This sort OF
reasoning is supposed 10 satisfy the
people IN Detroit, who are fighting
desperately for democracy, 20 have
chance 10 work a, home This sor.
OF reasoning does no. satisfy the
people interested in democracy al
