REFUSE TO SIGN FEp(
DISCHARGE PETITION

PHILADELPHIA, August 16
(ANP)-According to the local
branch NAACP Louis E. Graham,
whose home is in Beaver, Pa, and
Robert F. Rich, from Lycoming,
both Pennsylvania congressman,
have refused to sign the discharge
petition for the permanent FEPC
bill.
Graham said: Il have never,
since | have been member OF
congress, signed a discharge petit
ton, nor do | intend to do so so
long as | remain a member"
Rich not only opposes FEPC but
voted against the Anti-Pol Tax
bill when it came before the house
last June. The Congressional Rec
ord shows that he made the fol-
lowing statement, re ar d i n
FEPC, 81 do not think we are 60

many of you would have us be-
lieve this bill is intended to do, if
you put FEPC into it. | think it is
only an illusion by some people to
further the interest of communism
in this country of ours. | do not
want any of it"
In letter protesting this state
ment, Rep. Rich replied, Il believe
you misunderstood my reasons for
opposing FEPC. l am not against
the colored people and have always
been an admirer of your own and

ORGANIZATIONS HIT
REAL estate EXPLOITATION
OF NEGROES

CHICAGO, Aug. 16 (ANP)-A
protest against exploitation in Ne
gro housing by big real estate inter
ests was made by the Committee Of
Racial Equality and other commun-
ity organizations in the form of a
combination postwar walk, picket
line and street meeting here Friday
through Sunday.
Newton C. Farr, regarded here as
the leader of anti-Negro restrictive
covenants, was the main objective
of the picketing. A picket line sur
rounded his housing project in the
Negro community and pickets pa
raded in front of his downtown Of
flee. Early this year, Farr, who is
YMCA official as we'll as a big
realtor, stated publicly that he fav-
ored restrictive covenants against
Negroes, Jews, children and dogs.
George Houser, director of
CORES summer campaign, said:
1--WE wish to make it clear that we
are not opposed to housing of pri-
vate or public nature, but we are
opposed to the profits which real
estate interests derive from the ex-
ploitation of the Negro people
through a manufactured housing
shortage. We have seen numerous
owners and tenants in the project
and they have approved our plan
for public demonstration"
Among the community leaders
who appeared on the program were
Earl B. Dickerson, president of the
local Urban league; Alexander
Liveright, executive director of the
American Council on Race Rela-
tions; the Rev. James L. Horace,
pastor of Monumental Baptist
church; the Rev. Douglas Cedar
leaf, Erie Chapel, and Mrs. Helene
Wilson, international president,
Ladies auxiliary of Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car porters.
