Disturbance Stopped When Negro Vet
Families Withdraw From Mixed
Housing Project

AFTER court action was Degun
against them.
A detail of 200 policemen pa
trolled the area last Friday and
there were scattered reports of
new minor disturbances. A police
man knocked brick from a white
woman's hand and several persons
tossed bricks through the wind
shield of a coal truck driven by
a colored man.
Miss Elizabeth Wood, executive
secretary of the Chicago Housing
Authority said the seven remain
ing eligibles colored families had
declined invitations to move into
the 100-apartment project.
The two colored families who
moved their furniture into the
apartments last Thursday did not
remain overnight. The new dis
turbance started last Friday when
one of the colored veterans start
ed moving his furniture into the
| apartment assigned to the other
colored veteran. Their intentions
were not disclosed Immediately.
In Thursdays violence, six po-
licemen and two newspaper pho
tographers were slightly injured
by flying rocks, automobiles and
trucks We're overturned and car
windows smashed.
| A frey cross. was burned by
members of crowd of 1900 in
| front of the project last Friday
night in a revival of disturbances
that began the day before.
I Chief Ray Crane, acting COM
missioner of police, said three
policemen and civilian were in
jured Friday night and had hos
pital treatment as the result of a
separate melee in which the crowd
attempted to tip over a police
squad car.
Observers said the crowd Fri
day night was composed only of
white persons and numbered many
youths in their late teens.
The cross of crude wood con-
structed was lighted by a hand
full of men who apparently pour
ed gasoline on it before ignit-
ing it. 1t was about four feet
i high and burned brightly for
about four minutes as a throng
nearby jeered police.
The new colored tenants, John
r. Fort, 20, of 1852 South Park
way, and Letholian Waddell, 20,
of 5000 Dearborn, were not
harmed. They said the disorder
would not deter them from occupy
ing the homes to which they were
assigned and that they would
''stay to fight this to the finish"
Police said most of the dtmon-
strators were from the surround
ing neighborhood where homes
valued up to $4,000, $4,000,
and SIS, 900 have been erected but
that white tenants of the project
also were in the crowd.
; The first outbreak came when
trucks containing the colored vet
Grams furnishings arrived at the
project at Sixty-first Street and
HARLOW Avenue on the Southwest
side. Rocks were thrown and the
truck windows smashed.
Later other cars ere overturn-
ed, including those owned by DR..

The Mississippi State Negro
Business League was organized
here Thursday in a meeting held
at the Edward Lee Hotel. The
meeting was attended by bust
ness men and representatives
of Chambers of Commerce and 10
cal business leagues from all
sections of the State. The move
ment to organize the State Bust
ness League sponsored by the
Jackson Negro Chamber of Com
merce.
The meeting opened with Wal
ter H. Williams, Secretary and
General Manager of the Security
life Insurance Company, and
Regional Vice president of the
National Negro Business Lea
que as temporary chairman, whit
Mrs. Ruth Sanders, General Man
ager of the Enterprise Funeral
Home of Jackson, as Secretary.
A brief welcome address was
delivered by Jack, HI Young,
president of the Jackson Negro
Chamber of Commerce.
In out lining the purpose of the
State Business League, Mr.. Will
liams pointed out among other
things that many of the ills from
which the negroes in Mississippi
suffer is due largely to his eco
nomic conditions and pointed
out that the economic future of
the negro will depend on the
negro himself. Mr.. Williams said
that the purpose of the League
could we'll be the coorgination OF
Negro Business activities On a
statewide level in order to de-
velop graeter security and posi-
bilities of success for the indviid-
ual and there by provide a large
field of employment of negroes by
negroes in Mississippi; to encour-
age the promotion of new bust
ness enterprises by providing OPP
portunities for pooling of resour--
ces. Significantly Mr.. Williams
pointde out that although negroes
constitutes roughly so percent of
the population of the state, ne
groes own only 2 per cent of the
state land, and here pointed out
that a major purpose and perhaps
one of the more far reaching of
the League should be the encour-
agemenf and purchasing and
ownership of land.
A feature of the meeting was
some information on the new
negro businesses recently started
in the state. The most outstanding
was the ultramodern Dumas var
iety Store in Natchez, which re-
Gently opened with stock alone
totaling more than $4,000. Re-
ports were also heard concerning
Greenwood, Greenville, Clarks-
dale, Meridian and in other Sec
tions of the State.
A special feature was the lun-
cheon served by thee Lee Hotel
during fine Afternoon recess in the
meeting.
The honor of serving as first
president of the League went by
unanimous vote to Walter III. Will

jor race riot involving colored
and white people, Saul d. Aim
sky, cofounder of that city's Back
of the Yards Council, declared
here last Tuesday at the first
meeting of the newly formed
Commission on Community Or
ganization of the National Con-
ference of Christians and Jews.
Describing the situation as "the
worst spot we've been in for years,
Mr.. Alinsky said the neighbor-
hood of 10000 persons behind
the stockyards would be "the
powder key" if a large riot should
be touched off. The Back of the
Yards Council is organized as a
community agency in the area.
Mr.. Alinsky reported that the
group was taking extraordinary
measures to nip any outbreak in
the bud.
Chicago's current tension ex-
ploded last Monday into an out
break of stoning that required 100
policemen to quell. A crowd of
100 persons hurled rocks at a
truck moving the furniture of a
colored war veteran into the Air
port Homes, South Side housing
project near the Chicago airport.
The project wa sthe scene of
several neighborhood demonstra-
lions two weeks ago.
The tension was attributed by
Mr.. Alinsky to local resentment
against any occupancy of units in
the housing project by eolored
veterans.
The Back of the Yards area was
described as a mo mans land
between the housing project and
the stockyards, where about half
of the workers were said to be
colored. In this area the Chicago
race riot of 1918 developed
Thousands of colored persons
pass through it to and from work
Under the Back of the Yards
Councils program to prevent ra-
cial clashes, Mr.. Alinsky reported
anti-bigotry sermons have been
preached from local pulpits and
"fair play" discussion groups and
"anti-rumor" activities have been
initiated among adults and chill
dren. He added that If mass riot
ing should break out, arrange
ments called for most of the per-
sons in the area to be at home or
in churches.
Mr.. Alinsky declared that the
police had been pledged to mill
tant action against rioters and
that citizens squads had been
formed to help the police put down
rioting.
Mr.. Alinsky is also executive
director of the Industrial Areas
Foundation. He said the racial sit
uation in Chicago was so tense
that he had come to New York
for the commission meeting only
after making special arrange
ments for a hasty return if riot
ing should break out.

night for another rare treat in en-
semble playing. This concert, with
the same program tonight, will close
for this season the series of the

grams of the winter, but the addi-
ton of Mr.. Sell to the group guar
antees a superlative performance
He is an ensemble player par ex-
cellence, bringing a special vision to
the needs of perfect teamwork and
balance. In his interpretative ap-
proach, his knowledge of form and
its objective, both unsteady and
emotionally, is of superior character
and through it the thread of the
idea is clearly spun out. His tone
Is of particularly mellow timbre,
and while the quality OF his pianism
Is to be appreciated in his mechani-
cal sureness and fluency, 1t Is all
bent toward fine blending of the
strings.

 President Truman chose nothing and the House o Rep resentave upheld his veto and too, did very consider able portion of the public The temper of Congress- or at least the Senate to have been reused to the pom where they will give the President just about the same Dill hey sent him before With the Wherry Amendment passed providing for elimination of controls meat and poultry 1t will be difficult to keep other exceptions out of other amend mentS.
 Thora has been much feeling however, that an OPA which offered ceilings better than none at all Whether President Truman in the light of couple ot weeks of reconsideration viii agree in this opinion not doubt full But the Senate in lifting meat and poultry controls seems have underlined the previousyoered opnlons o1 Messrs Barkey, Mccormick ct a that s gong to De Oo- qress's kind of OPA at all
