Leads Fight On
Texas AAU Meet
BY DIR. EDWIN B. HENDERSON

BY DIR. EDWIN B. HENDERSON
NEW YORK - Stanley Wood
ward, New York Herald Tribune
sports editor, is leading a one-man
fight against the A.A.U.'s accept
ance OF San Antonio, Texas, as host
to the A.A.U. national track and
field championships. Woodward and
PMS Joe Cummisky have proposed
a national championship track meet
at Randalrs Island next summer to
Offset the ''NOrdic" games in Texas.
Dan Ferris, secretary of the
A.A.U., points out that Texas as
host to the Pan-American games
several years ago treated the col
ored boys with hospitality. But
these great champion Negro ath-
letes would have to ride in dirty,
bumpy Jim Grow cars, eat in cheap
joints and would be barred from
first class hotels. How any trained
athlete can give his best, after
suffering all Of the indignities and
humiliation and taunts of Southern
Nazism is inconceivable. Cummis-
ky says that Negro athletes would
be hustled around like the town
prostitute and submitted to all the
indignities and abuse that is the
everyday lot Of so many millions Of
Negroes"
Benedetto, the retiring president
Of the A.A.U., lives in New Orleans.
The last annual meeting Of the
A.A.U. was held in Richmond, Va.
No Negro holds any position in the
councils Of the A.A.U. As we said
once before, not until Negro citi-
Gems in the democratic states of
America apply for membership on
the local, state and regional bodies,
will it be possible to get on the
policy making boards Of the A.A.U.
Woodward, having started the
ball rolling, calls for a boycott by
the champion Negro athletes. Sew
en- championships are held by Barn.

NORMAN, Okla-(N NPA)-
Miss Ada Sipuel, who was an honor
student at Langston University
was denied admission last Monday
to the law school Of Oklahoma Uni
versity.
The National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People
was responsible for the effort to en-
roll her in order to provide a test
case for the federal courts to COM
pei improvement Of state facilities
for the higher education of colored
youths.
Admission was denied Miss Sip
uel by DR.. George L. Cross, presi-
dent of the university, after an
hour-long conference with Roscoe
Dungee, editor of the Black Dis
patch and president Of the Okla
homa Conference of NAACP
branches, and DR.. W. A. J. Bullock,
of Chickasha, regional director Of
the Oklahoma conference.
DR.. Cross cited the laws of Okla
homa as the basis of his decision.
He said the university's board of
regents had specifically directed
him to refuse admittance to any
colOred person who sought to en-
roll in the university.
Members Of the university's
YMCA-YWCA race relations COM
mittee greeted Miss Sipuel, Dungee
and Bullock, and later held a lunch
con attended by the three.
In his letter to Miss Sipuel deny
ing her admission, DIR. Cross said:
This will acknowledge receipt
Of your application for admission to
the law school Of the University Of
Oklahoma.
'Dr. Roy Gittinger, dean Of ad-
missions, has examined your trans
script from Langston university
and finds that you are scholastical-
ly qualified for admission to the
law school Of the University Of
Oklahoma.
However, l must deny you ad-
mission to the university for the
following reasons:
a. Title Seventy, sections 452
to 464, inclusive, of the Oklahoma
statutes, 1941, prohibits colored
students from attending the schools
Of Oklahoma, including the Univer-
sity Of Oklahoma, and makes it a
misdemeanor for school officials to
admit colored students to white
schools, to instruct classes COM
posed Of mixed races; to attend
classes composed of mixed races.
"2. The board of regents has
specifically instructed the president
Of the University of Oklahoma to
refuse admission to Negroes, Civ
ing as a basis of their decision, the
statutes Of Oklahoma.
Cordially yours,
&c. L. Cross, president"
The minutes of the board of re-
gents for their November 7, 1915,
meeting included this entry:
There was a discussion concern
ing the newspaper reports on the
question of Negroes attending the
university. Following this discus
sion, Regent (William r. Wallace
oklahoma City,. moved: that the
board of regents instruct the presi-
dent Of the university to refuse to
admit anyone Of Negro blood as a
student in the university for the
reason that the laws of the state of
Oklahoma prohibit the enrolment

Housing Program
By James L. Hicks

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
OF the 5,941 family housing units
and 8,6ls trailers approved for re-
lease to municipalities as Of De-
eember 81, by the National Hous-
ing Agency under the Lanaham
Act, not a single unit or trailer has
been approved for occupancy BE-
eolored people, according TO figures
made public here Wednesday by the
Federal Public Housing Agency.
Chicago with 1000 family units
and 1000 trailers topped the list
Of OF cities from 20 states which
applied for, and received the emer-
gency housing.
Goochue, Minnesota, was given
the lowest number Of units, asking
for and getting a total Of five fam
lily units.
In the allotment Of temporary
houses to educational institutions
the picture was the same insofar
as eolored colleges are concerned.
Figures for December show no
change in housing grants to colored
colleges, the 70 trailers and 30 DOR
mitory rooms at the University Of
Houston, Texas, and the 20 trailers
for colored at Prairie View Uni
versity being the only temporary
housing approved by the National
Housing Agency for colored Occu-
pancy.
A Federal Public Housing Agen-
ey official said, "The way your
colOred leaders are missing the boat
on this housing program Is almost
unbelievable" II they don't wake
up soon I shudder to think what
will happen to your people. In q
program like this you've got 10 get
in on the ground floor and colored
leaders haven't even begun to
scratch the surface in showing the
housing need among Negroes.
He pointed out that the Federal
government had done all II could
in protecting minority groups in
the distribution Of emergency hOus-
ing by inserting conditional clauses
in their behalf in all contracts
signed by municipalities, but Rd-
mitted that once the program pass
cd into local hands the welfare Of
the minority groups fell largely
upon their local leaders.
This official stated that eduea-
tional institutions were required to
ask for what housing they needed
and that colored colleges had failed
TO ask either because they did not
need the housing or because they
did not have funds to pay for its
erection. They were kept fully in
formed, he said.

time when most Of them have come
home. This tea will be the first Of
a series Of receptions which will be
concluded only when all have re-
turned.
Mr.. Sidney E. Williams is chair

POWER OF ORGANIZATION

The stop-work strikes staged by members Of the AFI maritime unions a method of showing then power in new demands shippers probably will be another spur in President Trumans side and that of Congress to enact legislation limiting the power of labor unions where such exhibitions are so damaging to the general public
 When one or two men, by simple directive can tie up the nations coal mines, halt its locomotives, stall all of its ships then it's time something is done and that the Government fulfill its obligation Of protecting the public from strongly organized minortes
 Alaskans are set to suffer great deal from the threatened shipping strike, and already the shipping situation between here and Seattle is in such mess it will take long time to straighten out.
 The dependency of Alaskans upon the States for practically all they eat and makes it vital that shipping continue between here and Alaska and we are sure that most Alaskans if it becomes necessary would favor the operation of vessels by the Navy if that is the only way they get food and clothing.

 The reporting system of these Government cor poratons has heretofore prevented valid comparisons between their income and outgo statements and made
 it difficult to obtain overall estimates of the value of their physical Under the new financial control set-up all that has been changed for the better Business type budgets must be submitted by each Government corporation annually to the Pres- dent, in accordance with directions of the Budget Bureau for transmission to Congress. Information in regard to income and expense analyses of surpuses and deficits sources and of funds etc. have to be included The aim is to provide for the requisite overall financial control of these corporations without interfering with the flexibity of operation essential to their efficient functioning. The fact that the control legislation bitterly fought by represen- tatives of some of the Government corporations may be explained in part by fear that Government red tape might unduly hamper them. But if we are to have sound executive budget system 1t is self-evden that Government corporations handling billion Of dol lars of public funds must be subjected to reasonable of control safeguard against inefficency and waste.

This money will be used to make loans, to purchase commodities to pay subsidies to retire outstanding obligations to meet operating expenses and for other purposes During the period repayment Of loans to corporations and sales of commodities will bring in more than $8 billion, while borrowed funds will total $5.6 billion. The net loss on current opera tons the reporting corporations is estimated at $32 billion for the fiscal year. and at $4 billion for the coming year-subsides and losses accounting for most of this total.
 Interest in the corporation budget statement will not confined however, to purely financial opera tions Students of political science will find food for thought in this exposition of the great variety and extent of business operations conducted by the Government through corporations. Funds are em poyed to aid industry housing and agriculture and to finance foreign trade and regional developments such as IVA While most of the corporations covered by budget programs organized to meet depression or war emergencies the President states, of them will undoubtedly continue as permanent agencies although their functions may change from time to time. It s therefore, essential to drop the fiction that these Government corporations are emphemeral institutions and to take steps to make them integral part of the Federal Government establishment The Financial Control Act authorizing the budget program is an important and indispensable aid to attaining that goal.
