WASHINGTON. - (SNS) - The
quickest and least expensive way
to relieve the shortage of rental
apartments available to Negro vet
Grams is through the conversion of
existing structures into dwelling
units, Housing Expediter Wilson
M. Wyatt said this week. Such
conversions require less materials
than new dwellings and provide
rentals within the reach of the
average veteran, Mr.. Wyatt point
ed out.
The Housing Expediter's re-
marks were occasioned by the re-
port of new dwelling units pro-
duced through conversions of ex-
listing structures. This report
shows that such conversions are
running well over 100 per cent in
advance of schedule.
$4,000 AUTHORIZATIONS
Recalling that the 1916 goal of
conversions was set at $4,000, Mr..

FORCE OF TREATIES

Mr.. Houston explained: '"These
international agreements have the
force of treaties. Treaties, under
the Federal Constitution, are part
of the supreme law of the land
and as such override local policy"
He added: EITHER we respect and
enforce these agreements and out
law all restrictive racial cove
nants, or we convict ourselves of
insincerity and bad faith before
international public opinion"
On the subject of segregated
communities, Mr.. Houston assert
ed that the Northern colored
ghetto is usually identified as a
section of the city badly neglected
by public agencies.
"Typical conditions" he said,
care poor school facilities, indif-
ferent policing and infrequent
garbage removal" He coupled
these "irritations" with excessive
crowding, high demand for prop
erty and high artificial property
values.
PAYS IN LONG RUN
He said the city pays in the
long run gin terms of crime
waves, additional police, more
courts and judges, a state of
health which endangers the entire
city society and a greater public
expenditure for disqualification"
Voicing hope for the entire
prob n. Mr.. Houston pointed out
that re people than ever are
showing an interest in the subject
of housing for minority groups.
He said illegal scholars" are be-
ginning to take a stand against
the restrictive covenants, organ
izations like the American Jewish
Congress have begun to fight it.,
and the courts are increasingly
paving attention to our treaties
and international relations"

was a travesty on democracy. But

Houston Says Restrictive
Housing |rritates North
Ghettos Badly
Neglected By
Public Agencies

NASHVILLE, Tenn (NNPA) }.
No aspect of the race problem
contributes as much to race ten
sions in northern cities as the
problem of restrictive housing,
Charles H. Houston, vice-president
of the American Council of Race
Relations and a Washington attor-
ney, said here last Friday.
The restrictive covenant, bar
ring sale to or occupancy by col
ored persons of property in areas
covered by such agreements, "is
outlawed by the language of the
recent international pacts signed
by this government" Mr.. Houston
told the Institute of Race Rela-
tons of the American Missionary
Association at Fisk University.
He mentioned the treaty Of
Chapultepec, signed in Mexico
City in 1915, and the United Ma
tions Charter, asserting that
"these international agreements
obligate our government to work
to eliminate all racial discrimina-
ton"

by their not being able to vote for
him.
He said many of the citizens of
his district have signified their in
,tention of voting for him. AS a
result of the poll tax many thou
sand votes will be lost by him,
Mr.. Michael charges.
In support of his contention
that the sections of the Virginia
State Constitution dealing with
the poll tax are unconstitutional,
Mr.. Michael asserts that in the
period Immediately following the
Civil War, while Virginia was a
military district until the adoption
and ratification of the Underwood
constitution in 1867, as a condi-
ton precedent to her becoming a
sovereign state again, Congress
embodied in the Virginia Consti-
tuition the following clause:
mo amendment of revision shall
be made which shall deny or in
any way impair the right of suf-
frage or any civil or political right
that is conferred by this Constitu-
ton except for causes which apply
to all persons and classes without
distinction.
