Urban League Defends
D. {. HOUSING Authority

The Washington Urban League
today came to the SUPPORT of the
National Capital Housing Authority,
which recently has been under in
vestigation by Senate subcom-
mittee.
In formal statement the leagues
Board of Directors declared:
"It is our belief that, with some
modification in policies and pro-
cedures, the National Capital Hous-
ing Authority can utilize it's past
experience in developing a more
effective program for the future"
At the same time the directors
stressed that the current need for
housing can be met only by the
fullest cooperation on the part of
both public and private builders
Private enterprise, because of the
need for a legitimate profit, has
never been able to meet the housing
requirements of low income families,
they said.
For these reasons, therefore, we
urge continuation of the public
housing program and the National
Capital Housing Authority" the
board declared.
