vately built Negro dwellings were

ported. So far, LOO such units
have been listed for sale or for rent.
The NCHA pointed out, however,
that only 947 of these have two bed
rooms and only 125 have three bed
rooms or more. The NCHA also ex-
pressed hope that private places
with rentals set for persons earning
less than $2500 per year will be-
come available later.
Persons unable to obtain accom-
odation in some of the projects pre-
viously erected had long pointed an
accusing finger at Negroes with
higher incomes who had filled avail
able space in these projects. In spite
of the rulings under which these
projects were erected, these high
er salaried workers obtained prefer
ence and occupied the new buildings
which were superior in every way
to their former homes.

(ANP)-An old complaint against
project housing will be remedied ac-
cording to the latest ruling of the
National Capital Housing author
ity, which has just issued an order
compelling Negroes in the higher
income brackets to move from these
homes to make room for other Ne
groes with lower incomes.
No previous action had been
taken because of the dearth of ac-
comodations for these workers, but
with some relief in sight, the orders
have been issued. These tenants

taxed $3.50 for gym privileges,
something Negro students could not
enjoy. DR.. Sparkling eliminated that
jimcrow evil by merely refunding
the fee to his Negro students and
banishing the physical educational
program.
Here are the four reasons why
DR.. Sparling resigned:
l. His pro-labor stand in the
Montgomery Ward fight.
2. His refusal to permit racial
quotas for students in the college.
3. His opposition to all interfer-
ence with academic freedom.
4. His part in the publication of
the "a B C's of Scapegoating," pre-
pared under the direction of two
professors of psychology at Har-
ward university.
Negro enrolment at the Central
YMCA college has grown by leaps
and bounds. Not only is the tuition
fee low, but they enjoyed freedom
from racial prejudice under the
schools liberal policy. They are full
ly integrated into all phases of the
school.
During my eight years as presi-
dent of the college," DR.. Sparling
said, Il have resisted all discrimin-
alton within the college as we'll as
all attempts to limit academic free
dom.
However, recent developments
have made it impossible, in my
opinion, to continue an unhampered
spirit Of inquiry or the spirit of
democratic freedom which have
been the distinguishing character
istics of the college,"
DR.. Sparling's friends, including
the student body and labor unions
have come to his rescue. Marion
Davis, white, president of the stu.
dent council, estimated he would be
backed by 95 per cent of the stu.

CHICAGO YM(A COLLEGE
PRESIDENT RESIGNS; CHARGES
BOARD With RACE PREJUDICE

CHICAGO, April % (ANP)-
Race hatred is being fostered and
fomented by local white YMCA Of
ficials.
That charge was made by DR.. Ed
ward J. Sparling, liberal white ed
ucator, when he resigned the presi-
dency of the Central YMCA college
following a series of violent clashes
with board members about the
schools liberal policy toward Ne
gro students.
Most conspicuous among the
known Negro haters and race bait
ers sitting on the YMCA board of
directors is Newton C. Farr, local
real estate tycoon, who led the vari-
Gus attacks against Negro enroll
ment at the college. Farr, who
openly admits his deep antagonism
for Negroes and leads a restrictive
covenant crusade against them, de-
manded that DR.. Sparling reveal
the number of Negro students to
the board on Nov. IL, as a prelude
to setting up racial quota system
AT this same meeting another
director asked for the number of
Jewish students in the college,
which question | ignored" Dr.
Sparkling said. when demanded by
complete board action to reveal
these figures, l said that | would
have to resign if they were used in
discrimination against any student
because of race or creed"
DR.. Sparkling pointed out specific
instances of racial discrimination
and how he had to battle the evil.
The most outstanding instance was
his discrimination of physical ed
ucation at the college as a means to
maintain his policy of racial equal
ity among the students
