OF Bitter Protests

WASHINGTON CAMP A WI
thering barrage of accusatiCne OF
discrimination against Negroes with
threats for demands of a congress-
ional investigation, descended on
the National Housing agency here
this week from two fronts. In New
Boston, Tex, near Texarkana, de-
spite vigorous protests of Negroes
for whom the project was original
ly planned, applications m
whites were being accepted for a
2OO-unit project recently completed
and indications were that the de-
cision announced last week TO tern
the project over 10 whites Wots.a
be allowed to stand.
Meanwhile, at seast three Caiifor-
MIA members of the house of repre-
sentatives were known to have re-
ceived kilograms from a group Of
Los Angeles citizens protesting an
alleged deal by which priorities
for housing open to Negroes in the
Compton area of the city would be
refused
BLANDFORD MISSING
At the office of MIA here, Adj
ministrator John B. Blandford, Jr.
was reported out of town. Howard
F. Vickery, MIA director of infor-
nation, admitted that protesting
message had been received from
the West coast and said that a re-
ply had been sent promptly.
Vickery could not discuss whether
or not the west coast protest had
asked dismissal of MIA officials in
the area who were believed re-
sponsible for the So-called IDEAL"
An investigation had been ordered,
he said, however.
At the offices of Reps. McDon-
cugh, Voorhis and Helen Gahagan
Douglas, all of California, 1t was
readily admitted that similar mes
sages had been received. All of the
legislators spent considerable time
on the floor of the house during
the week, however. and spokesman
for each indicated the belief that
time had not yet permitted Gevel-
opment of any action which could
be discussed publicly.
In regards TO the Texas situation
reports that the last-minutes de-
cision to switch the 200-unit pro-
ject from Negro to white occupancy
despite original plans and also in
disregard of what local Negroes de-
clare is an urgent need for housing
accommodations, had its origin in
congressional pressure, gained Gre

Plane Rescue

The c afts pilot, with the gas run hing low, decided to crash land in the bay and brought his
 plane down about mile off shore. None of the men were jn- jured when the plane hit, and 6 of the 7 successfully got aboard an inflated life raft, but the other crewman missed the raft and swan about in the darkness. The plane sank in a matter of min utes.
 The men on the raft sent up flares and it was reported later that the native villagers and others had boat in the water almost as soon as the plane struck.
 The rescuers had to combat 5-foot swelIs and a strong wind and were almost an hour reach ing the men. The raft was locat- ed by the flares and it was only by a miracle that the swimming man was found in the storm tossed darkness. One of the flares happened to light beside him so he could be seen by one of the small boats and he was picked up. He had been in the water about an hour but suffer-
