Realty Board Survey Finds
Negro Housing Is Good Risk

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA (ANP)
-So-called Negro housing is a good
risk for both builders and financial
institutions, and the field ought to
be developed, not from the stand
point of social reform but because
it is good business.
This is the substance of the report
issued by the National Association
of Real Estate boards upon compile
tion of surveys of the Negro hous-
ing question by local real estate
boards.
Realtors with experience in Ne
gro housing reported to the associa-
tion that as a class, the Negro home
buyer meets his payments faithfully
often more faithfully than other
racial groups in the same economic
level-and that if his property is in
good repair when he obtains it, he
takes care of it after he buys it. AS
a tenant, he takes as good care of
such premises as other tenants of
his economic class.
The study of Negro housing ex-
perience was made in 18 representa-
tive cities. In addition the semi
annual survey by NAREB con-
Quoted through member boards
showed LAT cities out of $50, or AZ
per cent, reporting better Negro
housing as a pressing need. Fifty
one per cent of the LAT cities con-
fronted with the problem have ac-
tion under way to meet it. The
shortage of all types Of Negro hous-
ing was shown by the NAREB sur
vey to be acute. The war has great
ly widened the number of cities for
which Negro housing is real and
immediate problem.
The association announced the

WEST SIDE GROUP TO Plan APPEAL
DEFENSE MASS MEETING
AT BETHEL TONIGHT

Plans for an appeal to save Dan
iel Kinchens, 655 Manning place,
from sentence in the penitentiary
after his conviction on a charge of
assault with intent to rape, will be
discussed at a mass meeting at
Bethel Baptist churc hat 8 o'clock
tonight.
The meeting is being sponsored
by citizens committee, of which
the Rev. G. w. Sherard, pastor of
Mckinley Methodist C hurch h, is
chairman. The committee has be-
come interested in the case because
it believes there was not evidence
to substantiate the guilty verdict
returned by three-judge court
which tried the case against Kin
chens. The judges were Lester L.
Cecil, Charles Lee Mills, and Don
Thomas.
Theodore Berry, president of the
Cincinnati Chapter of the NAACP,
who has been asked to participate
in the preparation of an appeal
from the verdict of the court, will
be the principal speaker. A brilli-
ant lawyer, Mr.. Berry will outline
the facts in the case.
The Kinchens case was original
ly investigated by a committee of
the executive committee of the
NAACP, composed of T. P. Tur-
ner, president, w. D. McLoud, DR..
M. R. Clarke, Jesse Nimmons, Rev.
G. w. Sherard, and Mrs. Miley Will
hanson, executive secretary.
At conference with the judges
after the guilty verdict was re-
turned, it was found that no dis
elimination existed in this case,
and, and since the NAACP can
concern itself only in cases where
there is evidence of discrimination,
it was necessary for others to car
ry on. The citizens committee is
the outgrowth of this circumstance.
However, while the NAACP as an
organization can take no part in
this particular case, it's leading
members are all members of the
citizens committee, and are active
in this case.

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-06-27

OCD executives and city officials
" are said to be contemplating the
advisability of sounding Detroit's air
raid sirens several times on primary
election day next month as a hint to
citizens that they should vote.
The idea resulted from growing
indications that the primary vote IN
Detroit this year will be exceedingly
light.
Oakley Distin, supervisor OF cleo
tions, and his associates are frankly
pessimistic. They say it is difficult to
pierce the general apathy regarding
the coming primary. They don't
know why.
All they know is that Detroit
voters for several years have been
notorious in their indifference to prl-
mary elections and that with this
years primary coming in July IN
stead of in the fall, the indifference
is more than usually evident.

Get Out the Vote

60 LONG as we retain our present
- election structure the primaries
are fully as important as the general
elections.
Voters who ignore their duty at
the polls simply cannot be classified
as good citizens.
Especially in these times with the
nation engaged in It's most critical
war citizens should be alert to exer-
else every duty of citizenship. They
should remember too that voting is
not merely duty or chore but that
it is their sacred privilege as free
men.
TT is sorry commentary on our
l. awareness of our duties and priv
leges here in Detroit that we should
need such raucous reminders as air
raid sirens on primary election day.
But by all means let's sound them
long and loud-on that day if it's
the best way to prod us to the polls.

WiIIkie Apes Roosevelt

THE objections offered by Wendell
Il Willkie to the foreign policy
plank of the proposed Republican
platform should have as little influ-
ence with the Republican party as
Mr.. Willkie himself has had with the
American people-which is none at
ALL
The Republican party should GER
tainly pay no more attention to Mr.
Willkie than have the people.
The Republican party went down
to defeat with Mr.. Willkie as It's
presidential candidate four years
ago, and has wisely refused to allow
him to lead it to defeat again.
It should therefore pay little at
tention to him, and less attention to
his policies.
MIR. WILLKIE, as a matter of
WI fact, has no policies.
The policies which he claims as
his own are in reality the policies of
President Roosevelt.
If the American people want the
policies of President Roosevelt con-
tinued they want Mr.. Roosevelt
continued in office.
They most surely would not want
Mr.. Willkie as president in that
event.
If the American people do NOT
want Mr.. Roosevelt or his policies,
they want something different, some
thing truly American, and that is
what the Republican party Is sup
posed to offer them.
If it does not offer them that, 1T
has no reason or right to exist.
1t has wisely refrained from offer
ing them MIR. Willkie again.
Let it as wisely refrain from offer
ing them Mr.. WILKES borrowed
policies.

Dealers as straw man capable and
deserving of being knocked down at
will and with ease.
Now that he has failed in this, as
Mark Sullivan writes in the New
York Herald Tribune, he has been
given the kiss of death" by no less
a New Deal parsonage than Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Mrs. Roosevelt has remarked
says Mr.. Sullivan, that Mr.. Willkie
seems to prove that the detectives
of the present administration should
be the detectives of the Republican
party"
tspY this reply to Mr.. Willkie,
IL Mrs. Roosevelt occompiishes a
political kiss, ingeniously double
barreled, for the Republican party"
writes Mr.. Sullivan, land for Mr..
Willkie kiss of DEATH"
The Republican party has not re-
gained the confidence of the people,
in the authoritative judgment of Mr..
Sullivan, because of public approval
Of Roosevelt policies.
"The Republicans came back Just
because they loere the OPPOSITION
party" he correctly observes.
"The function of an opposition
party is to BE an opposition party.
"That is what nature meant, and
what the public expects.
"That is an opposition partys re-
sponsibility.
ITO fail to liue up to ii is dis
service to the country and to the ttOo-
party system"
T EFT the Republican party take it's
~ responsible place in the national
life.
Let it offer the American people
the something different, the some
thing more truly AMERICAN which
the American people want and need.
Let it renounce the empty preten
sions of Mr. Willkie, and deneunee
the dangerous leadership of Mr..
Roosevelt and put an end to the in
iquitous misgovernment under the
New Deal-and thus restore gov
eminent of democratic AMERICAN
convictions and principles.
