Sold By D. Fl. G.

5 WASHINGTON. p. c. - Lucy
Diggs Slowe Hall and George
Washington Carver Hall, govern
.ment dormitories, will not be sold
by the Defense Homes Corpora
ton although bids on them had
been received, it was authoritative
ly learned lest Monday
The two dormitofies will con
tinue to be operated by the fed
eral government.
The decision was made after the
Defense Homes Corporation was
urged to retain the two properties
because of the unusual public SER
vice they render to colored people.
IF the two dormitories fell into
the hands of private interests and
were converted to other uses, it
was pointed out. government en-
ployees and visitors to WASHINGTON
might experience difficulty in find
ing suitable living quarters due to
the acute housing shortage and
lack of adequate hotel accommodae
tons.
Frank Stanley, of Louisville.
Kentucky, president of the Negro
Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton, first made the request that
the government continue operation
of the two dormitories when a
group of publishers held a CON
ference with Wilson w. Wyatt,
federal housing expediter, here in
March.

The $25O000 appropriated represent

the agency compromise mace
after southern Senators n
threatened to withhold all funds
for the operation of the agency.
This reduction in the approprla-
tion forced the F'EPC to cut it's per-
sonnet from 1T to %. To make
matters more difficult for the
agency, Congress authorized an IN
crease in pay of Federal employ
ees. Congress provided additional
funds for other agencies OF the
government to meet the pay IN

the position that Mr. Ross should
have further skeletonized his staff
in order to provide increased sal
aries for those who remained.

Supreme Court
(FOr NNPAA

THE IMPORTANCE OF the
Supreme Court in the fight for
race equality is not to be mini
mixed. Its position has been stra-
tegic ever since Chief Justice Rog-
er T. fancy delivered the opinion
in the bred Scott case declaring
that Negro had no rights that
a white man was bound to respect
That decision was reversed on
the battle fields of the Civil War,
and since then the court itself has
moved a long way in protecting
the rights and liberties of colored
people under the Thirteenth, Four
teenth, and Fifteenth Amendments
to the Federal Constitution.
The Chief justice of the court,
like the associate justice, has
only one vote on any case before
it. He is its chief administrative
officer. 1t is as much to the in
terest of cOlored people to exert
their efforts toward the appoint
ment of fair and impartial
Chief Justice as it is for them
to exert themselves toward hay-
ing liberal associate justices.
On the basis of the record,
