Housing Restrictions
Hit In West Coast Study

Housing restrictions which serve

limited housing areas will bring
about increasing tension between
the races if allowed to continue ac-
cording to a report on conditions

Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton in that city. The YWCA headed
the group of sponsors OF the study
which was made by a staff OF 100
local volunteers under the direction
Of DR.. Charles S. johnson.
Asserting that housing was the
first problem and implying that this
might be true even after the war,
the 2l4-page report depicted local
merchant associations and improve

"larm' the great influx of Negroes
and as having "hurriedly taken

Anything attributed TO the Presi-

In the fight for its passage, the Re-

Urging that a strong fight be put

Mead and Barkley congratulating
