Bill Affecting
Negro Housing
Hit By NAACP
Seen AS Threat
To Erection Of
Future Projects

WASHINGTON, y. C.--(SNS) =
The NAACP expressed strong OPP
position to bill introduced last
week by Congressman John Lesin-
ski ID. Mich) which would amend
the United States defense housing
Act SO as to require the consent
and approval by resolution or or
dinance" before temporary Federal
war housing could be built in any
Incorporated city or town. This bill,
the NAACP said, is threat to the
housing needs of Negroes every
where in the United States.
AS it now STANDS, whenever the
President finds that there is an
acute shortage of housing which
impedes the war effort, the Gov
eminent may rent, purchase or take
by eminent domain proceedings,
sufficient land to build housing
projects for war workers. In this
way, many Negro war workers have
been able to secure greatly needed
housing in spite of the opposition
of local authorities.
Conditions have been b a d
enough under the National Housing
Act under which permanent public
projects are built" the NAACP
said Because of the provisions in
that Act similar to those in the
Lesinski bill, local housing authori-
ties at the instance of real estate
operators and prejudiced white CIV
ic groups, have succeeded in defeat
ing the construction of housing
projects in Baltimore and other
large cities"
The opinion was expressed that
I,esinski, a Detroit representative,
is seeking to kill off a 14O0-unit
project, to which Negroes will be
admitted, near the Ford Willow

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - (SNS)
- The Newport News School Board
was found guilty May Is of failure
to comply with court order en-
tered Jan. %, 1943 outlawing salary
differentials on the basis of color
The decision was rendered by
Judge Sterling Hutchinson following
hearing on a Showcase petition
for contempt in the case of Doro-
thy E. Roles, Negro teacher repre-
sented by NAACP Attorney Leon
Ransom and Attorney R. Wendell
Walker.
Attorneys for both sides were re-
quested by the Judge to confer with
him in drafting an order in COM
pliance with the ruling of May 25
1t was indicated that immediate
payment of approximately $4,000
due 10 teachers as a result of vio-
lation of the 1943 order, would be
asked.
After pointing out many discre-
pancies in the payments made OF
white and Negro teachers, Judge
Hutcheson stated: cit is therefore
obvious that the School Board in
adopting the salary schedule for
1943 has not complied with the
terms of the order of the court
which enioined and restrained the
defendants from discriminating in
the payment of salaries against col
ored teachers and principals and in
favor of the white teachers and
principals. in the public schools
