VETS HOUSING BILL
CLEARS CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Apr. 9 = A
$3.50, 3,727,O0O fund to get temper
ary housing for veterans cleared
congress today while the senate
debated the administration plan
to spend $500, 100000 on building
material subsidies.
The senate laid aside the latter
measure temporarily to pass the
$253, ,727,000 appropriation a n d
send it to President Truman. 1t is
intended to provide 1O2,35O tenn
porary homes for veterans and
their families by remodeling war
time barracks and temporary hous-
ing.
The program calls, too, for NOV
ing these facilities from industrial
centers, if no longer needed, to col
lege towns overflowing with vet
erans going to school under the
CT bill of rights.
The senate quit for the day with
out voting on any points of the
building subsidy legislation. Ma
jority Leader Barkley of Kentucky
told reporters after the session
that he hoped for a final vote to-
morrow.
In today's debate, charges were
made that OPA's pricing policies
have helped create the building

WASHINGTON, Apr. 1O-The
Meat institute, renewing
its fight against OPA meat cell
ings, contended before the senate
agriculture committee today that
"the wasteful, scandalous, wide
spread and flagrant black market
has been made possible by the
price and control act"
Meanwhile, the government au-
thorized $10,O00,00O of additional
subsidies to packers to cover addi-
tional costs during six weeks which
elapsed between the time they
were granted price increases. A
wave increase of 16 cents an hour
was made retroactive to Jan. 26.
Wesley Hardenbergh, president
of the institute, and a number of
packers assailed OPA policies be-
fore the senate committee in it's
reneral investigation of the food
situation.
Hardenbergh asserted that the
"only remedy" for the black mar
ket is to remove price controls
from meat. .-.,-4.--

PROPERTY DAMAGE At
COLUMBIA NEARLY $4,000

MEMPHIS, Apr. 10 (ANP)-
Expressing belief that the federal
grand jury investigation of the Co.
lumbia riots "will bring light into
some dark corners" Maurice Wea-
yer, Chattanooga attorney and
NAACP counsel, told the associa-
tion Memphis unit that between
$4,000 and $4,000 damage had
been done to property of Negroes
in Columbia while state guard and
highway patrolmen were in charge.
Describing the general pattern
of news stories on the riot as "com-
plete whitewash" and naming sign
ed articles in the Chattanooga
Times in particular Weaver told
his audience that "every Negro
business establishment in Colum-
bia was raided and rat poison
spread on the floors of many of
them.
SIN the Morton Funeral Home"
he said, "the initials xxx were
written on a casket and every win
dow in the building was knocked
out by rifle fire."
Principal speaker at the meeting
held to raise funds for defense of
Negroes held on the Columbia
charges, Weaver declared the
NAACP would lend every coopera-
ton to federal authorities in pre-
senting evidence showing denial Of
! civil rights to the Negroes indicted.
