Mid-City Housing Funds
Asked by Circle Citizens

Suggestion that portions of the
funds appropriated by Congress for
housing projects in the District be
utilized in the mid-city area was
advanced last night by the Logan
Thomas Circle Citizens Associa-
ton.
The proposal grew out of dis
cussion about housing developments
in the outlying sections of the city.
If slum areas in the downtown
area were replaced with modern
housing, the Oldest part of the city
could progress with newer sections,
it was said.
The association voted to request
the Capital Transit Co. to urge
further use of the destination signs
on the sides of vehicles as well as
the front and rear signs.

scheduled to make report on the

During yesterdays session, David

give the District full Statehood" if
it wished and asserted there was no
conflict between this and national

Chairman McCarran, however. re-
peated his earlier declarations that
questions of national representation
were not involved in the current
hearings and were not before the
committee. He added that he re-
garded the proposed elected local
government to be first step in the
direction of District representation
in Congress.
Frank j. Coleman, speaking for
the Washington Central Labor Un-

for District suffrage for so years

Big Row Over FEPC
Due 10 Be Dumped
On RooseveIt's Desk
BY the Associated Press


A major controversy over the au-
thority of the Fair Employment
Practices Committee to order equal
ity of treatment for colored work.
ers appeared certain today to be
dumped on President Roosevelt S
desk when he returns to the Capt.
tai.
FEPC orders to end alleged dis
elimination against colored persons
have been challenged by Southern
railroads, and others, on the ground
that FEPC exceeded its powers.
Meanwhile, members Of Congress,
the courts and the War Labor
Board all were involved in yester-
days developments as one strike
by white workers got under way in
an important war factory.
The WLB, by unanimous action.
ordered white strikers at the Point
Breeze Western Electric plant in
Baltimore to return to work at once
or face "all possible action" under
the Antistrike Act.
Strike Vote Taken.
Point Breeze workers voted to
strike Monday night after WLB re-
fused to order separate washroom
facilities for white and colored
workers. On October 2, FEPC ad-
vised the Western Elecaric Co. that
the discontinuance of common IA
cilities for Negro and white en-
ployes of the Western Electric Point
Breeze plants and the introduction
of special facilities would be a
backward step which can but lead
to discrimination against Negroes"
Other developments included:
Representative M arcant tino,
American Labor, New York, praised
the FEPC and criticized 16 South
ern railroads which defied an FEPC
order to cease alleged discrimina-
ton against colored railway work.
erS.
FEPC Called Rump Group.
Representative Rankin, Democrat,
Of Mississippi declared that FEPC
was a "rump organization" which
was creating unnecessary racial
tension in the South.
The Federal District Court for
Northern California at San Fran
cisco had before it a case involving
colored. workers in which the con-
stitutional authority of the FEPC
to order an end to discrimination
was a collateral issue.
In the California case, 18 colored
shipyard workers petitioned Federal
Judge Michael j. Roche for a per-
manent injunction restraining the
Marinship Corp. from discharging
them for failure to pay dues to an
auxiliary (colored) union of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Boiler
makers, AFL.
The decision of the Federal Court
will be the first in which authority
of the FEPC to order employers and
unions to halt alleged discrimina-
tory practices for reasons of race or
religion is at issue.
The FEPC was set up by Mr..
Roosevelt in an executive order, un-
der the Second War Powers Act,
