New York-The housing policy OF

separate but equal according 70
Gordon R. Clapp, general manager
speaking for David f. Lilienthal,

In response TO a letter OF inquiry
from the NAACP Mr.. Clapp wrote
1T is the policy of the IVA to
provide %recreatoinal and education
al facilities and health and medicaI
services for the temporary commun-
tiles located at its construction pro-
jects- The facilities provided for
Negro employees are Of the same
standards as those provided for
white employees and the cost to en-
ployees for similar accommodations
is the same.
The housing facilities, both fam
lily units and dormitory accommo-
dations, provided for Negro employ
eeS at construction projects are sep
arated from similar facilities prov
ided for white employees. This con
forms to established laws and Gus
toms in the area which we believe
cannot be ignored without detriment
ly affecting TWAS ability to carry
on its construction and operating re-
sponsibilities.
The extent to which customary
arrangements OF racial segregation
can be or should be disregarded on
projects such as we carry on is a
question about which there is, OF
course, much difference Of opin-
ion."

The NAACP has expressed the
belief that the school strikes which
broke out in the Middle West and
in New York City, are part Of a
plan concocted by adults to fasten
segregation as a pattern upon Negro
es in the North. The Association
believes it unlikely that the students
themselves would have staged these
demonstrations without careful plan

in compliance with OPA pr.ce reg

age were not thoroughly familiar
with specific regulations, officials
of the local War Price and Ration

The purpose of the survey was
to determine the extent to which
retailers understand OPA regUla-
tons affecting the sale of men and
women's apparel house fur
n. shings and sporting goods. and
the extent to which retailers OF
these items are complying with
price ceilings.
This local canvas, made in con-

It was also announced that OPA
would launch next week a food sur

Pilot Bob Long is on his way Outside to bring Alaska Airlines' first new DC-3 to Alaska. He will ferry out the company's Stinson A to be sold in California. Stin- sons have been the backbone of Alaskan aviation for many years. This particular one has seen hard service in the Territory-all the way from St. Lawrence Island to Whitehorse. And now it is being sold, to be replaced by the most modern instrument ship there is.
 The Douglas has been converted from an Army transport into a passenger ship at Atlanta, Geor- gia, under the supervision of the company's new superintendent of flight operations, George C. Perry. From California, Long will go to Atlanta, whence he and Perry will fly the Douglas to Anchorage. Long is an Alaskan pilot of long standing.

Yet it was darkened by one cloud, the Anglo American dispute with Russia over Poland.
 Barring some dramatic move by Stalin the dispute on Polish rep resentation at the conference is as deadlocked today as ever, split ting the Allied powers in the mo- ment when they strive for unity. Otherwise there is an evident close big power cooperation.
 Members of the American group interpret that it means Russia is determined to help the conference succeed and is already making concessions to that purpose.
 The city is abustle with activ- ity. The American delegation in scheduled pre-conference caucus with Stettinius and Russian mem bers met Molotov, who arrived yesterday afternoon, and British delegates to the conference and Eden who arrived early today. The conference opens at four thirty pm.
 Highlights for the scheduled half hour program to be broadcast around the world will be a speech by President Truman from Wash ington after Stettinius raps for the session to come to order and delivers the initial address intro ducing President Truman. After President Truman the program calls for addresses by Governor Warren and Mayor Lapham.
 The President began work on his address last night after talk ing for an hour with Secretary Hull. The meeting is taking place in San Francisco's opera house auditorium.
