picture that causes rather violent

Real Estate Board
Stresses Homes Need

WASHINGTON. DC. CNNPA)-
The opportunity offered success
full builders in the field Of housing
construction for Negroes has been
stressed again in statement by
Harry NJ. Seldom, Detroit realtor,
recently appointed chairman Of the
Negro Housing Committee Of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards
Seldom declared. "Once it is rec
ognized that this field offers a
splendid investment for our large
institutional lending associations
and capital is made available, the
builders part in the development
Of good Negro housing will nat
urally follow" He suggested TO
those who are not now interested
in making loans on homes occu-
pied by Negroes that they appraise
this situation and see il they do
not agree that many sound loans
can be made on such homes.
PROVISION OF such housing by
private industry is past HE ex-
perimental stage" he declared
Throughout the country we have
many successful examples Of build
ing for both sale and rental to Ne
groes. Surveys OF the NAREB have
shown that the Negro is a reliable
and anxious home buyer He takes
pride in good property when he is
able TO secure it, Private builders
of projects, both large and small
have been able 10 sell modern
homes TO Negroes on the basis Of
monthly payments. which. some
times, are even lower than the

housing. The survey also shows
that commitments made by Ne
groes have been very well taken
care Of"
The Negro Housing committee
was organized by the NAREB to
gather information on the Negro
housing need and the ways in
which it has been practically met
by successful builders for Negroes,
and TO encourage widespread en-
try into the Negro housing field
because Of its economic oppor-
tunity.
One OF the biggest drawbacks
to the entry Of private enterprise
into this field however. has been
the policies of the Federal Housing
Administration, which will not APP
prove insurance OF loans for Ne
gro housing in many sites because
they border on white neighbour
hoods. The FILA also encourages
the use of restrictive covenants
through advice given in its manual
Of operations.

BIG DRIVE IN RUHR VALLEY
 BEING MADE
Fiqht Goes from Germans as Great Rout Now
 Seems Apparent
By YVES GALLAGHER ZAP War Correspondent J

ERKELENZ, Germany, Feb. 27- For the first time in this war II the west, thousands of German civilian refugees crowded the high ways as the United States Ninth Army wheeled sharply north, driv- ing straight for the vital Ruhi Valley, breaking clear through all Nazi defenses in the greatest rout of the Wehrmac a ht since theil flight across France.
 The fight appeared to be com pletely gone from German soldiers guarding the approaches to the Ruhr. They gave up in punches, including officers who talked freely of Germanys defeat.
 Veteran American officers who have fought the Germans across Europe said fighting morale ap- peared to be completely gone.
 Carrying handbags, and hobbling along in lots of several hundred, German civilians trudged into this shell and bomb-wrecked city in the opposite direction from vast columns of American troops and arInor spreading north toward ihe entrance to the Ruhr Valley.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Legis- lation to increase the price of gold from $35 to S56 an ounce has been introduced after the Federal Reserve Board proposed to reduce the gold reserve ration to 25 percent.
 This legislation is sponsored by Senators Mcfarland and Scrugham. The latter issued a statement saying this is the answer to the new att tempt on the part of the Federal Reserve Board to reduce the gold reserve ratio to 25 percent If the price of gold is advanced to S56 an ounce it will permit the. same ex- pansion of Federal Reserve notes as decreasing the reserve ration to 25 percent and to my mind, in much more healthy fashion"

 Ernie Parsons reported to the members on the meeting of the Juneau Health Council, held last night. He urged fellow Rotarians to back the health bill now before the Legislature. The Club, he ex- plained, cannot as a body enter politics, but the individual mem bers can.
 The Rev. G. Herbert Hillerman reminded Rotarians that the Red Cross War Fund Drive is about to start and asked for their sup port.

 Preceding the embroglio over the Health Department bills, one non- controversial measure was cleared off the Senate's slate this forenoon. Senator o. D.

 As described by the author, the purpose of No 29 is to give title to the Federal Government for certain non- valuable pieces of property in the town of Nome. The properties are now being used by the U. s. Army Signal Corps for a permanent radio-tower installation. The prop critics were acquired by the Terri tory at the time of purchase of the Seward Peninsula Railroad. The bill transfers them to the Army for pay ment of one dollar-condemnation proceedings would otherwise have to be undertaken, Senator Cochran stated.
 A message was read by President Coffey, inviting members of the i Senate to a USO road show this afterhoon, after which the Senate recessed until 80 o'clock p. m.
