HOUSING FIGHT

A committee for the purpose OF
being the watch dog" for Negro
housing rights was organized last
week.
The committee, o non-partisan
body. has stated that they feel that
goodwill and understanding Is the
best way TO attack Detroit's num-
Der one problem - Negro housing
Officers OF the committee are:
George A. Isabel. chairman; Maceo
Crutcher. treasurer: and Henry w.
Morrison, secretary.
The committee released the fol-
lowing statement OF its stand on
the Negro housing situation in De-
troit.
l. Democrats. Republicans. Labor.
Capital all agree that housing for
Negroes is a serious problem.
2 While everybody agrees, no
one will take the lead to fight the
problem.
3. During the last six years, most
sections have organized to hght
the entry Of Negro occupants. Even
the Common Council has gone on
record 10 not change the racial
pattern OF neighborhood. The ex-
ception is the great liberal. George
Edwards.
4. We uphold. support, and en-
courage fghting leaders like Sam
Lewis. Louis z. Martin, Leroy
White. Horace White and Gloster
Current and others for their I'M
selfish fight for Negro housing.
s. The National Housing Agency
is carrying out the program Of the
Roosevelt Administration and has
done very good job in spite Of the
fact that It's program has been
hampcred by anti-Negro politicians.
g. The state has no program to
aid Negro housing.
T. We have a good housing Com
mission. but its job is to carry out
the ideas and policies OF the Mayor
and Common Council.
8. Charles Edgecomb II highly
capable and seriously interested in
Negro housing We believe that he
could easily solve the problem. We
find that his job is TO carry out
the wishes Of the Commission. Most
OF all, no director can do q good
job and halfway please the many
pressure groups. We think that the
city should make a law to free
the Housing Director from pressure
groups and the Mayor.

In a brief filed in behalf OF Su-
sic Morris, a Little Rock teacher.
the NAACP alleged that the school
board practices racial discrimina-
ton in violation OF the l4th Con-
stitutional amendment. 1t was
charged that the rating system OPP
Grated against Negro teachers per-
forming the same duties and pos
sessing similar qualification as the
higher paid whites.
The school board denied these
charges, attempting to show In the
week long trial that salary differ.
ences were based solely on teach
ing worth. which included such
values as merit and standing In
the community"
This is the hrst such case to coms
before the Circuit Court OF Appeals
on the question of school board
rating methods for teachers. II
has already been firmly established
in earlier cases that il is uncon.
stitutional to base differences Of
salaries for Negroes and white,

WASHINGTON. - Negro
troops on the far-flung bat
tie fronts of the world will be
the last soldiers to come home
when the army is demobi-
lized, Undersecretary Of War Rob-
ert Patterson admitted this week.
Under the point system devised
by the army, service battalions,
more commonly known as labor
units, will not be sent home until
combat units have been released,
Patterson told q news conference.
The point system favors combat
services over those in service units.
Extra points will be awarded
lighting men and those who have
been decorated, so that even
though an infantryman and q
member OF a port battalion leave
for overseas at the same time. the
former will be returned to the
States q, an earlier date.

Three Brothers Tell Of Conditions
In Three Different Parts Of World

The three Dunaway brothers,
Karl, Raymond and Reece, wrote
their parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. ].
Dunaway, from three different
parts of the world this week
"As yet, our living conditions
are pretty rugged" Sgt. Raymond
Dunaway, the youngest, writes
from the South Pacific, where he
is serving in tie Marine Corps
Their rations have improved, how
ever. he says, as they now get two
hot meals a day, with "K' rations
for dinner. He sent some souve-
Mrs to his parents-a letter which
he found near one of the demol-
ished barracks on a South Pacific
island. 81 don't know what 1t
says, or anything about it, except
that it is letter. The tag is a

bomb that they never got to use
against us. The newspaper came
out of the box that contained the
bomb. l am not an apt pupil of
Japanese. so l cannot offer a COM
ment." He has some better tro-
phies, Raymond says, but no way
of sending them home, so they
will have to wait until he brings
them himself.
Cpl. Karl Dunaway writes from
North Ireland that there isn't
much to do when a fellow goes to
town, as he finds it completely
blacked out and has to be careful
to keep from humping into other
pedestrians. 1t is almost better,
except for the monotony, to remain
where he is stationed. II think
we got a good deal when We came
here. 1t is a beautiful place, an old
Irish estate with an ancient castle
about 500 years old. The castle
was destroyed by fire couple of
times, but has ben rebuilt. Most
of tie old walks still remain, and
a part of the original castle is
still being used" There are a
number of very old large trees on
the estate, he says, and small
lakes with swans swimming about
in them complete the picture. OF
his younger brother, Karl says:
Sorry to hear that Raymond is in
the thick of it. The jungle is

pretty rough, but he can take care
of himself"
Pvt. Reece Dunaway, tie oldest
of the three boys, is serving with
the field artillery at Camp Beale,
California. He has been in the
service five months but in a way
it doesn't seem that long since he
left Coolidge, he says, and his first
impression of a dismal looking
camp in the nowhere, is gradually
changing. He has not been as
signed to any special job in survey
yet as, right now we are taking
field tests that must be passed be-
fore any outfit can go into combat.
Yesterday we had one of these in
the series, but l have heard no Of
ficial reports yet. l understand
that one of the tests has been
passed already. l suppose you will
be having some pretty hot weather
there soon. 1t will be plenty hot
here, too, but l doubt if we will
see much of it."
The three brothers were born in
Miami, Arizona, and came to Cool
idge with their parents in 1929.
They are all graduates of Coolidge
high school and Reece graduated
in mechanical engineering at the
University of Arizona and worked
as a junior engineer at Wright
