The speaker is head Of the
agency which during the war con-
structed some $4,000 units of pub
lie war housing for Negro occu-
pancy in 1913 war production areas
of 40 states and the District Of
Columbia.
Klutznick commented on the un-
willingness of capital to find it's
way into the financing of public
housing, and said that this reluc-
tance was equally true among Ne
gro institutions which have funds
available. He felt hopeful, however,
that the experiences of the agency
would succeed in breaking down
this hesitance.
In view of the opposition" Of
fered by white groups when ,hous-
ing developments for Negroes are
begun in some areas, he was asked
whether the agency is doing any
thing to educate" whites. He ad-
mitted that there is a "Tremen-
dous Job" to be done not only in
FPHA but by all agencies. He re-
duced the problem to one of MAX
ing more land available for public
housing, and indicated that local
interests may continue to be re-
calcitrant if the possibility of get
ting votes is threatened.

3-The cause OF individual
freedom must forever be In
conflict with tyranny.
4-This must be one world:
Either a world OF freedom for
individuals or a world OF In
creasing tyranny.
All those arguments those two
men made In times barely past
all those principles they cherished
or seemed to cherish.
But where do Mr.. MacLeish
and Mr.. Henry Wallace stand on
these fundamental principles OF
decent international conduct-and
morality today?
The answer Is so disquieting-
no, so shocking-that an ordinary
citizen with a modicum OF intel
lectusl integrity. who has man
aged in these past years OF blood
and toll and tears and sweat TO
get his own principles straight
can hardly believe that he is lis
tening when they use their famil-
lar phrases TO support exactly
contrary ideas.
Here Is Mr.. Henry Wallace. a
man who has carved out for him
self. even among those who think
that he is often a little wooley
minded and vague in some OF his
utterances, the position OF one of
Americas foremost idealists. a
man of principle, a man who hates
power politics with all the fire OF
crussding soul. a man who de-
spised Grass materialistic or eco
nomic arguments when the well
being-the freedom, the safety.
the happiness OF the human being
or as he calls him "the common
man anywhere in the world" was
in jeopardy.
wALLACE's STAND.
But where does Henry Wallace
stand today on the question of in
dividusl human liberty for the
common man.-everywhere in the
world! Unhappily for his admir-
ers among the liberals does
not stand.
Do we hear Henry Wallsce's
voice raised against the aggres-
sions Of Soviet Russia in Latvia,
EstAeHia, EithHanta. Poland Do
we hear him condemn the totali-
tartan policy OF establishing
friendly government" in the
Balkans by mass deportations,
concentration camps and firing
squads7
No. we hear nothing but silence
from Mr.. Wallace on the score of
the freedom OF the little nations
OF Europe and the individual free
dom OF their citizens. Silence,
that is all on these basic moral
questions, which Mr.. Wallace once
claimed were the great issues
facing all free men"

TOOK L. =. INTO WAR

Yes. the arguments OF the lib
erals-from the days of Munich
until America entry into the war
an entry that was secured
largely because of these very argu-
nents-were sound and noble
arguments, worthy Of the ears Of
all free and open-minded men.
So, al that they said was true
yesterday. And II all that they
said yesterday was true yester-
day, is IL not true today? Oh, yes,
il is still true.
Many OF them-alas, most OF
them. are not saying il today.
Let US take two great liberals.
for example; Mr. Henry Wallace
and Mr. Archibald MscLeish. two
well established champions Of
individual human freedom, and
therefore two men, who one sup
poses would never change their
fundamental principles 10 suit op-
portunistic or expedient interna-
tional circumstances.
PRINCIPLES RECALLED
Their principles (circa 1899.

1-Aggression Is wrong.
2-Appeasement is immoral.

Feb. 9 Blast Is Recalled
 Legislative Action
 Sought on Controls

Today's gas pipe explosion in the East End recalled similar tragedy which occurred less then nine months ago and which precipitated demands for legislative control of gas main specifications.
 A break at connection of a street gas main and service pipe leading to 228 Country Club Road, cost the life Feb. g of Albert H. Gaess, local manufacturer, and led to injuries to his wife, Mime F., and daughter, Minnie B. Gaess-
 When Cononer Stephen A. Homick made his finding on the Gaess death last March 26, he sug- gested legislative action to prevent similar occurrences. He pointed out that there was no State statute which required that gas pipes be set a certain depth in the ground or be made of specific materials.
 In that finding, the coroner com mented, Frost damage to gas pipes and fixtures has been sufficiently frequent and injurious to justify action by the Legislature" The State official found. however, that there was no criminal negligence connected with the death.
 Mrs. Gaess and her daughter are currently bringing Superior Court action against the Connecticut Light & Power Company as a result of the incident last winter. Each claims damages of $10,000, and Mrs. Gaess, as administrator of her husbands will, seeks 5000 for the fatality,

Settlement Is Expected
 Union Moy Take
 Less Than Asked

Detroit, Dec. 6.-CUP)-General Motors Corp, and the CIO United Auto Workers Union worked against time today in an effort to solve their differences before the Federal Government takes a hand in the 16- day old walkout of 175,000 GM em- ployes.
 The 30 per cent wage increase de- mand by the JAW which precipi- tated the strike Nov. 21 was to be discussed for the first time since the work stoppage began when me- gotiations between GM and JAW will resume at 2 p. m. today.
 There was speculation here that the entire question of wages might be settled by the end of the week. Some quarters predicted that the union would accept far less than it has demanded. with a possibility that a 1 per cent pay boost for GM production employees would result.
 A previous wage offer by GM, withdrawn after the, strike started, would have given the JAW a ID per cent increase, raising employees wages to 30 per cent above Janu- ary, 1941 levels, according to the company.
 Surprise developments in the past A hours were the most promising in a month of deadlocked negotla- tons.
