agreed that the provision for out
of state scholarships was an .ex-
pediency and could only be count
ed as a temporary measure, pend
ing the ESTABLISHING 1T OF the Gaines
decision in the States. Attorney
Marshall commended that the ques-
ton of sending both Negroes and
whites out of the State is done in
West Virginia was not of much con-
Germ because the fight for equali-
cation should be directed to those
sections of the South where whites
were furnished training and Ne
groeS were not.
1t was also concluded that pri-
vate fund of private individuals can
work to establish educational CEN
tiers wherever they want and how
ever they want, but under the
Gaines decision the State cannot
do that without discrimination ana
disadvantage TO Negroes.
Mr.. Wesley pointed out that he
asked for the pre-meeting because
he believed Southern governors
were meeting on the graduate
school question with Southern edu-
Gators and deans, and with this in
dication that the whites had met
it was logical for the colored lead
eds also to meet.

The Time For Resolutions

Traditionally New Years Day is the time for the
making of new resolutions with many finding it the time
in which to take stock their lives during the closing
and assuage their conscience for too obvious errors In
their life action and of living during the closing
wear bv resolving enter better with the coming
of the New Year
Few there can be amongst who have remained al
wavs noved by this age old custom to the extent of not
having made at sometime in their life their share of New
Years Resolutions Resolutions which in most instances
come within the saying of Oscar Wilde, 1.-The fatality OF
GOOD resolutions that they always too late Or per-
aps with view the philosophy of George Herbert who
IN his "Out Landish Proverbs The Resolved mind
hath cares"
Resolution in its painest is the choosing of
course that sense it is we'll that at the beginning of the
New all who not justly satisfied with their fe
their accomplishments and their purposes during the clos
ing year to enter resolution to chose it
were-for the year.
Among Negro people of Jackson and the state there is
room many high resolve For instance to take greater
personal interest Negro Civic Rights and Responsibilities
in Education in Delinquency in Negro community upkeep
and improvements in obtaining the right to vote in the
state Negro HEALTH Negro Business and in the total
welfare of the state affects all its citizens both white
and Negro alike.
And whatever resolution, may be found in these
words of Abraham Lincoln:
Having Chosen our course, without guile and with
purpose, let trust in Cod and 90
forward without fear and with manly hearts.

in that township to persons of the

that some type of "gentlemans

section known as Landon, whereby
Negroes would be Encouraged 70 live

The injured Mr.. Short, is said to
have learned about the deal only
after having purchased the plot Of
ground where he wished to raise
my family decent" This expression
was believed to have been actuated
by the waves of prejudice that
forced him out of his home in Los
Angeles.
Investigators or various interest
ed private groups who rushed here
to ascertain the facts, learned that
Mr.. Short had been warned on
eeveral occasions that Negroes
were mwanted in that section of
F'ontana and that it would be wise
for them to leave. They had been
offered money to cover cost of their
Investigations.

WASHINGTON - CAMP Ac-
cusing the Federal Housing agency
of fostering the extension OF racial
restrictive covenants into new
areas with the use of federal funds
and power in direct violation OF the
law and federal policy, Willard >.
Townsend, president OF the united
Transport Service Employees union
told the senate banking and fl
nance committee tn a + minority
groups could not much longer sup
port housing legislation unless such
practices are halted.
Mr.. Townsend said:
1.-The National Housing act was
basically supplemented by the un-
derwriting manual issued by
the Federal Housing administration
The manual describes the tech
niuues used by FILA to determine
whether or not mortgages are elig-
ible for insurance under a title Of
the National Housing act. Eligible
itv is determined by risk rating.
This process consists Of an exam
nation of mortgage risk and EN-
braces evaluation.
I'm rating mortgage risks, the
manual lists protection from ao-
verse influences as one OF the lea
lures to be rated in order to de-
termine eligibility of loan. Adverse
influences" he quotes from the
manual" includes prevention OF the
infiltration of business and INDUS
trial uses, lower class occupancy
and inharmonious racial groups.
1.-THE manual further states IF a
neighborhood is to retain stability,
1t is necessary that the properties
shall continue to be occupied by
the same social and racial classes
Even great emphasis is placed
upon these considerations in case OF
undeveloped or to her separately de-
yeloped areas. The valuator is
warned tn at deed restrictions
should include the following pro-
visions, prohibition OF the occu-
pancy of properties except by the
race for which they are intended"
Mr.. Townsend then pointed out
that FILA has also issued Outline
of Protective Covenants" containing
the language of proposed racial re-
strictive covenants as follows:
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1945-12-29
Townsend Claims FHA Back
Restrictive Covenants

mo person of any race otner
than the--shaIl use or occupy any
building or any lot, except that this
covenant shall not prevent occu-
pancy by domestic servants OF
different race domiciled with an
owner or tenant"
It was then related to the COM
mittee that the attention OF the
administrator was called to these
facts last May at a conference at
tended by many Negro leaders and
housing organizations. The re-
spouse of the FILA representative
was that this agency did not APP
prove of loans on developments for
was occupacy by Negroes in what
he called white neighborhoods or
vice versa. He stated in effect that
FILA was merely following 'busi-
ness practice"
Mr.. Townsend pointed out that
the FILA either does not approve
loans to Negroes or provides small
er guarantees after it practically
helps to require them to live IN
those congested areas.
In attempting to justify its &C
tions. the FILA declared its policies
stem from local practices and the
acceptance of the belief that Ne
groes automatically lower prop
erty values.
Concluding his statement, 2
speaker said, Minority groups IN
America fine themselves in a
dilemma. In the entire field of fed
eral aid to housing, We have be-
come increasingly disturbed by the
manner in which these aids have
been administered. Evaluating the
history of federal housing agencies
over the last dozen years, we find
an acceleration of intensive strait
fication of American communities
along racial lines. The development
is contrary to the profeSSed aims
of the administration that intro
duced the concept of governmental
responsibility in the field of hous-
ing. We therefore recommend the
inclusion of specific instructions to
the administration to see to it that
all federal benefits and powers
available under this act be admin
stored without regard to race, color
religion or national origins"

shortcomings of civilian supply and economic controls And, to be sure, the OPA is quite far from perfect both in it's policies and administrative methods
 But the OPA after all, is only doing or attempting to do job in the public interest It is not the sole responsibility of this agency to that black markets
 do not upset supplies and price schedules or to insure that the public is treated fairly In the aggregate it is every citizens responsibility.
 All too often the individuals most critical Of OPA shortcomings encourage such shortcomings by their patronage of black markets and condoning of black market methods And it doesn't matter much whether the hen comes first the egg in this particular the individual citizen has inherent duty to support the governments effort to maintain supply and price controls He cannot blame the OPA for shortcomings occasioned by his lack of support of it's undertakings nor in good conscience can he excuse his own non- compliance by the fact that the OPA isn't doing a perfect job.
 This isn't written in apology for the OPA pro- gram or personnel But it rather plain that all of us have definite stake in the successful working of the program To those with money to burn, the stake may seem inconsequentia though actually it is not whereas to those with scarcely enough money to meet wartime costs-and We are thinking par ticularly of the wives and dependents of l2O0oOo0 servicemen-the stake in the successful operation Of the OPA rationng and price control program is very great indeed.
 We fail to see where destructive criticism of the OPA serves any purpose, is even good sense.

A NEW POLICY?

A recent news magazine contained the following two statements which should be of interest to Aias!.ans
 For years the U S., remembering it's own origins. has generally stood sympathetically and vaguely for the independence of all peoples. On rare occasions when 1t had to act practice had not always followed precept Last week in San Francisco the U. s. Sec in discussing the ultimate disposition of colonies areas under trusteeship the word sef-government' added to the word independence"
 There were other sparks flying to indicate what shape U. S. policy gradually taking on the anvil of events In Congress bill introduced to give Puerto Rico-which has long demanded independence
 the choice of three alternatives independence state hood or a new wrinkle dominion status"
 number of bills have been introduced in the past several years which would allow Alaskans more of opposition by the Interior Department. The late President Roosevelt expressed himself one occasion as in favor of complete home rule for Puerto Rico but never made known his wishes concerning Alaska.
 It may well be that new deal is in the making for Alaska 20-man Congressional party is to visit Alaska August to look the situation over and see what can be done The committee will concern itself with Alaskan governmental problems and suggested changes in the Organic Act under which the Territory is governed" Problems of transportation, lands and isn't another junket or summer outing.

Health Education
(New York Times


 Since the beginning of the war Government has become increasingly of the value of mental and of physical health National security is linked rrevocaby with the health of it's citizens recent analysis of the principal causes for rejection of reg strants under Selective Service shows approximately five million men have been disqualified to serve their country because of deficiencies in health education or intelligence About 100000 have been re- habitated within the service, but the time required for this remedial work is dangerous handicap in time of a great national emergency.
 Both public and private schools are planning re- organization of physical educational programs after the war when manpower and womanpower are again available In the decades between the two World Wars public education made significant progress in certain fields vocational training, guidance services curri culum reorganization, art and music education. But in a majority of school systems little accom- plished the field of improving physical health. The pattern has been to emphasize small group particpa- ton in interschoo groups and one or two periods week in a general calisthenics and recreationa program.
 The report of the Joint Committee on Physical Fitness of the American Medical Association and the National Committee on Physical Fitness is of special importance to educational leaders and laymen who interested in ong-term program for strengthening health education of tomorrows citizens The report recommends a preadmission physical examination at five years periodic examinations thereafter education in the principles of healthful living, hour daily for physical training, cumulative health records and provisions of adequate personnel, facilities and time for the program. John w. Stakeholder, United States Commissioner of Education and many school officials in progressive States have endorsed the plan In the years ahead a comprehensive program for improving physical fitness should be major goal of education

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bot do not compel"
SATURDAY, JUNE Is

Renefic aspects rule today al- though adverse signs are discerned This summer is a period of amazing world events.
 HEART AND HOME
 Women are under most Stim- ulating and reassuring sway which seems to warn them that more de- pends upon them now than at any previous time in history. They must combine patience and strength wisdom and resourcefulness.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Consciousness of the power of wealth will cause widespread effort to stress financial considerations in blaming for lasting peace. Human welfare must not be sacrificed to commercial strength.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Danger that American optimism may encourage premature cessation of certain lines of war work is em- phasized by astrologers. Defeat of Japan may not be possible until 1947 although the element of surprise will be positive.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Treachery and double-dealing are indicated in the horoscope of Fran co, who will try to use the Pope in negotiations for leniency in United Nations judgment. Evil portents are many for Spain's economic present. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of up- heavals and changes which should bring about fortunate conditions.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be bright and tirelessly ac- tive. They should be disciplined early to condence interests and de- vote attention to special talent or line of work.

nonchalantly pigeon-holed in the Senate Commerce Committee.
 Sanctimonious Senator Josiah Bailey of that committee was named chairman of special con- mittee to investigate the Maritime Commission as long ago as 1888. He has now spent $17,000 of the $20,000 allowed for expense, but has reported exactly nothing to Con gress.
 Senator Aiken will point out that since January of this year, some but not all-Maritime Commission contracts have carried these two amazing provisions, certainly not aimed to save money for the tax payer:
 'The contractor shall have no ob- ligation to make any statements or returns of costs to the Com mission or to make available to the Commission any of it's books, records or accounts pertaining to the performance of work under the vessels contracts
 "The contractor shall have no further or other obligations under the vessels contract or on account of the performance of work there under, including any obligation to repair, remedy, replace or make good any defects, breakdown or de- terioration occurring in any vessel delivered under the vessels con- tract
 In addition, Aiken will point out that the Commission has insured hundreds of vessels for many times their actual value. The Nebraskan for instance, was built in 1912 al cost of S713000, and was esti- mated five years ago by Admifa Land to be worth S1l0,199. On it: owners books it is listed as wortf $5,276 but the Maritime Commis- sion has insured it for the amazing total of $l,019,320. The Nevadan built in 1912 for $616,000 and listed by it's owners at S3,457, has beer insured for S306,800.
