Father Luigi feels that the inte-
grafton of Negroes into the homes
will present an undesirable influ-
ence. In commenting on his mode
Of reasoning he said.
Separation of the two groups,
while not the ideal theoretical SOL
ution, is the only practical road to
community brotherhood. Negroes
have the Ida B. Wells project. Why
do they want to come into this pre-
,ect where they are not wanted?
The coIored families do not
wish to live with the white famil-
les. They know that the true
course to armony and good will is
through an amicable separate dis
tribution. The Negroes, themsel-
yes, don't want to live this way.
They are simply being misled by
communistic influences who seek
to tell them what they want"
Concerning the election, the
