housing plan and q partial tert
OF the report OF Wilson w.
| Wyatt:
Statement by the President:
| When I called MIR. Wilson Wyatt
to Washington, gave him only one
instruction: to make no little
plans"
For five weeks Mr.. Wyatt has been
hard at work preparing his plans in
consultation with all Government
agencies concerned and with the
principal business, labor and vete-
rams groups involved.
He has recommended q veterans
emergency housing program which
Is bold, vigorous and eminently prac-
tical. It has the complete and I'M
qualified support Of the admins
tration. All agencies of the Gov
eminent are directed to use every
resource at their command to full
fill this program. The budget d.
rector has of course been asked to
review the budget recommendations
in the light of the new housing pro-
poSalS.
I urge the Congress to enact
promptly the legislation necessary to
carry out the program.
I call upon every public-spirited
organization to muster its forces
behind the program. I ask each
community leader, each citizen, to
do his utmost to make the plans a
reality in his community.
WAITS Report.
Dear Mr. President:
On January second I came to
Washington at your request to
study the critical housing shortage
which confronts America today and
to recommend and execute a plan
of action. In the past five weeks I
have met with more than thirty
groups from industry. labor, vete-
rams, and Government. I have lis
tened closely to their recommends
lions and I have examined the
principal available data.
Two SOLDERING and inescapable
facts emerge from this study in bold
relief:
First, there is an urgent need for
some 100000 moderately and low
priced homes and apartments dur
ing the next two years.
Second, we can meet this need
only by bringing to bear the same
daring, determination, and hard
hitting teamwork with which we
tackled the emergency job of build
ing the worlds most powerful war
machine four years ago.
Recommends Program.
Our sights must be raised far
above the present target of four or
five hundred thousand homes in
1916.
am therefore recommending
that the following program of
emergency measures be put into
effect Immediately:
Cd Construction of 100000 low
and moderate cost homes must be
started by the end of next year.
The target for 1916: 100000 homes
started, of which 100000 will be
conventional houses; 250,000 perma-
nent prefabricated houses, and
houses assembled on-site from
prefabricated parts and materials;
and 250,000 temporary units. The
target for 1947: 100000 homes
started, of which 100000 will be
conventional houses. 100000 per-
manent prefabricated houses and
houses assembled on-site from pre-
fabricated parts and materials
(The previous all-time high was
937 900 homes in 1925; in 1945, only
100000 homes were built. Except
for 100000 units of temporary reuse
war housing and $4,000 new trailers
all of these will be permanent
homes. On the assumption that the
recommended legislation is autho-
rized promptly the program should
move into high gear by the end OF
the first quarter of 1946. Within
two years from that time the ur-
gent need figure of some 5000, 900

new REFORMS DUE FOR
HAITI, AMBASSADOR STATES

w A ) ii n U o. N, une 22
(ANP)-Haiti is one of the first
countries to open public school
education from grammar school
through a university, without cost
to students, according to Dantes
Bellegarde, ambassador to this
country.
Asked how the republic of Haiti
was being run under the present
administration, the statesman re
vealed that new constitution was
being drafted to replace the former
one which was of fascist tendencies.
''We want a democratic constitu-
ton that will be in complete accord
with the Act of Chapultepec and the
San Francisco charter" he said.
The new congress will draft the
constitution after which they will
proceed to elect a president.
The adoption of the idea to write
the constitution before a president
was elected was for the assurance
that their president would know
what to abide by and the people
would know what to expect, said the
ambassador.
1t was pointed out that in draft
ing the constitution, the major
trend is toward social justice, with
great stress upon the right of man
to social security, equality of oppor-
tunity in education and economics.
at will embrace the four free
doms," he declared.
In pointing out the principle OBJ
jections of the Lescot regime, the
ambassador related that there was
general discomfort against the GUST
ed president due to the fact that he
did not observe the liberties as
stated above.
He continued that the former
president had the constitution
amended for the purpose of retain
ing his power until May, 1852, to-
gether with keeping senators and
deputies, most Of whom were his
devotees, in function until such time
as the peace treaty would be signed.
The Haitian people felt them
selves condemned to be under the
Lescot rule indefinitely, since no
one knew at the particular time that
the constitution was amended when
the peace treaties would be signed.
Haiti today, however, is enjoying

a normal life. The nation as whole
has given it's full support to the
executive committee who has been
recognized by all foreign countries
as provisional government.
Confidence has been cemented
among the Haitians since the com
mittee has kept faith by instituting
free legislative elections in due
time.
Popular election took place re
Gently, which called upon all men
if a citizen and FL, to vote.
When asked about the simple and
liberal qualification, the ambassa-
dor stated that too great percent
age of the total population has not
yet been reached by the widening
program of education, hence un-
aware of their political duties and
rights.
when this seed of education is
sown,' he added, 1--WE hope in time
to eradicate illiteracy to a great
extent and maintain liberal view
points,"
That voting on the part of wo-
men may soon be realized, was also
pointed out. There is large group
Of very capable ladies who are fos-
tering this issue to be written in the
constitution. They have gained con
siderably ground" he said.
The ambassador proudly related
that in Haiti, humbleness of origin
has never been an obstacle in reach
ing the highest position in their gov
ernment.
He gave as a reason that the
country being relatively new, all
have the same origin.
Former President Antoine Si-
mon, who was elected in 1908, was
given as an example. He was a
peasant.
Any racial question that might
be raised in Haiti, is done so by pro
fessional politicians who seek to
exploit the gullibility of the uned-
ucated masses, but definitely not a
political issue, was the. assurance
of the statesman.

Court hearings on the veterans
cases have been set for June "a.
Protests and open letters against
the illegal registration practices
against Negro veterans have
brought no action from Gov. Sparks
or other public officials, the vet
erans disclosed.
According to law Negro and
other veterans are entitled to vote
without usual restrictions" wrote
one newspaper columnist, "but law
is not being enforced for either
white or colored in the SOUTH"
Illegal registration practices are
not the same against white vet
erans. They are not denied the right
to register. Alabama registration
law does not recognize honorable
discharge papers from Negro vet
Grams, one veteran remarked. Hold
ing that all voters must be able to
read and write the U. S. constitu-
ton, Negro veterans must answer
such questions as what kind of
government have we?" "How is
congressman elected?" And "What
must a political party do to VIM"
Negro veterans are frequently
told: eff you are registered you will
get your certificate or hear from
us" In order to stop the practice of
denying Negro veterans the right
to register, which means the right
to vote, citizens were asked to (1
"insist that the board of registrars
perform it's duties according to law

Diplomatic Ties Cut in 1917

ton, but apparently none ever was
given.
Russia's expulsion from the
League of Nations was sponsored by
Argentina after the Red Army in
vaded Finland in 1899.
Russia denounced Argentina's
military regime as Fascist, during
the writing of the United Nations
Charter at the San Francisco Con-
ference in l945. Mr.. Peron was the
strong man of that regime.
Argentina's Communist party is
relatively unimportant politically
and failed to win a single congress
sional seat in the last elections.
RuSsia's establishment of diplo-
matte relations with Argentina was
regarded by many diplomatic au-
| thorities in Washington as an effort
to counter-balance American activ-
lty IN Europe by strengthening her
own position in Latin America.
The move appeared on the surface
to be a reversal of policy by Russia,
which only year ago strenuously
opposed admission of Argentina into
the United Nations.
The State Department made NO
immediate comment on the Moscow
Buenos Aires announcement, but in
dications were that it would well
come the move in so far as it rep.
resents only the development OF
normal relations between sovereign
states. However, few officials an.
peared to believe only normal re-
lations are involved.

10 i. n. WariIy Await Here Pushed by u. 5.
Home Advice on Spain As Strike Vote Nears

The Agriculture Department to-
day began a hurried inventory of
Washington's pinched bread stocks
in an effort to provide true pic
ture of the wheat inflow before a
strike vote meeting tomorrow of
1000 union bakery workers.
The survey was ordered by As
sistant Secretary of Agriculture
Dodd following a meeting yesterday
with representatives of Local ll8
of the International Bakery and
Confectionery Workers Union and
the Senate Small Business Com
mittee.
The local, which will meet at
pm. tomorrow at 1912 Ninth street
NV. to decide whether to strike,
told Mr.. Dodd bakery workers here
have watched their pay checks
dwindle to the point of starvation
in the face of the wheat products
shortage.
Admitting the existence of inequi-
ties in distribution of bread through
out the Nation as a result of the
Governments efforts to divert flCur
and grain to war-starved nationa
abroad. Mr.. Dodd promised that ii
the inventory of local supplies
showed irregular conditions here
steps would be taken to correct
the situation.
Under a department policy an
nounced Monday, millers who can
show they are receiving a wheat
supply insufficient for them to pro-
duce their allowed -four quota are
entitled to relief. The quota is SET
at rs per cent of last years pro-
duction.
Charles B. McClosky, business
agent for the local, told Mr.. Dodd
the bakers may strike regardless
of the surveys results, depending
upon the sWiftness of relief obtained

Austin Says Failure
To Extend Draft Would
NuNify Foreign Policy

Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont, who has just been ap-
pointed as the American representa-
tive to the United Nations, told re-
porters after a White House call to-
day that the failure of Congress to
pass an adequate extension of the
draft would constitute a repudia-
ton of the foreign policy of the
United States and would nullify our
agreements with other nations, in
Guiding the contract entered into at
Potsdam"
Senator Austin will be one Of the
confereeS on the draft extension leg
islation in which the Senate re-
stored the provision for drafting
teen-agers that had been cut out in
the House.
I'VE know from six years eXpe-
rience that the volunteer system
won't work." Senator Austin said,
land to eliminate the teen-agerS
would mean that we had nothing
left.
Senator Austin said an made
duate force meant a loss of eff
cheney and that, he said would be
understood by foreign nations.
The Vermont Senator, who called
at the White House to thank Pres
ident Truman for the appointment
which was made Wednesday, said
he would not enter on his new duties
until he had resigned from the
Senate and that he was not certain
just when this would be because
he had unfinished duties
He named the draft act as one of
these matters and atomic energy
control as another.
With the final form of the draft
extension highly uncertain, Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower said last night
that ''the pool of potential volun-
teers is drying up" and "selective
service must supplement enlist
mentS."
For this purpose 18 months of
service is fair contribution to ask
of any young man." the Army chief
of staff declared. The security of
our country and the continuing
peace of our world are worth it. 1t
is far less than we asked of the
soldiers whe fought to make possible
a peaceful world"
Gen. Eisenhower spoke on an NBC
broadcast commemorating the Sec
ond anniversary of the landings in
Normandy which he commanded as
supreme Allied commander.
