The executive committee Of the
organization, however, agreed last
Monday TO place the matter back
on the chapters agendA and ask
II TO reconsider It's action at a meet
ing TO be held on July II. This
action came after the minority in
terest committee Of the orRani.
zatiOn had filed protest over the
action Of the local chapter.
One Of the planka written into
the national platform Of the ave
during ita convention held recent
Iy In Des MOines stated that the
organization would RhtFaeialFe-
stFictiVe covenants wherever they
were met.
In voting 10 proceed with the
plans 20 build the project In the
area covered by the restrictive cove
nant, proponents Of the plan
argued that inasmueh a. the site
selected was q good buy and that
II was unlikely that an equally good
buy could be found at an early
date, the site should be bought,
the project built and Negroes al
lowed 10 move In along with the
whites. Then, II Negroes were or
dered 10 move because Of the cove
nant, the organization could make
an about fight 10 break the cove
nant. This, they stated, would be
good strategy and in keeping with
the policy Of the organisation 10
fight such covenants.
Opponents Of the plan, how
ever, questioned whether Negroes
would even be permitted 20 move
into the project after u was built
and pointed 20 the almost impOa-
sible tasks Of defeating such
covenants. Negro members Of the
chapter, spanked BY James Baker,
head Of the minority interest
committee, led the fight against
the plan.

Martin, Doty
 Fight Tonight

Hartford. Aug. 27-New England welterweight champion -Geergie Martin will be strongly favored to- night to repeat a three-Week- old victory over challenger Red" Doty when they tangle in a ten-round rematch at the Auditorium outdoor arena.
 The Boston strong boy knocked out Doty in the seventh heat of a title bout here, but he caught the local welterweight on night when he had weakened himself unneces- sarily in making weight Doty ac- tually starved himself to make cer- tain he hit below the l47-pound div ision weight. He did such good job of it that he scaled l45 l-2 and was as weak as kitten the day of the fight.
 Meanwhile, even though his title was at stake, Martin pulled fast one in coming in at l52 l-2. as strong as a young colt.
 They'll be more evenly matched on this occasion, however, with both coming in at l52, with pound lee way allowed. Dotys manager, Wal ter Johnson. and Martins pilot have both boasted their men would score a knockout. There's no question but what 1t will be an exciting duel, just as their first on was.
