Horace White barred the social

which Negroes chafe and castigated
the halfway measures Of the city
government in dealing with them.
He charged that neither the director
of the Mayors committee nor the
chairman were prepared to deal
adequately or realistically with the
basic problems facing minority
groups.

10 elect honorable individuals to
public office rather than political
hacks Other Clio politicians were
Infatuated over the action of the
Councilmen who indicated quite
clearly that they were not impressed
by the political strength OF the
CIO.
Negro leaders and CLIO chieftans
were agreed that the failure to
overcome the Jeffries machine in
the last election frightened the
Councilmen who had been flirting
with the Negro and the CIO vote.

Since George Edwards was in the

any pressure to bear upon the Coun-

II was noted. however, that Miss
Lillian Smith. who is outSpoken
against segregation and differs with
many So-called liberals OF the white
South on this issue was extended
an invitation 20 the Chicago con-
ference. Press reports Of the con-
ference did not indicate whether
the leaders at the Chicago confer
ence discussed the segregation issue
which is fast becoming the main
line Of defense for so-called liberal
southerners and the main line of
ofense for the more militant Negro
and white leaders OF the North and
South.
The following report on the new
agency was made by Albert Deutsch
OF PM, one of the few newspaper
men invited TO the confab.
Through this new agency, local
authorities could pool their expert
ences In preventing race riots in
their towns, or suppressing them
IL they get under way. When racial
tension was at a peak last summer
marked by bloody outbreaks in
Detroit, Los Angeles. New York and
elsewhere-a number OF cities
quickly modified community re-
sources for preventing similar dis
turbances. The successful methods
used in sverting race riots in vari-
Gus localities could be synthesized
into a single program by the new
fact gathering agency.

relations was called by Edwin r.
