Clifford H. Newell, president of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations, in speech delivered
before the Brookland Citizens Association.
: We are shocked at Mr.. Newell's effrontery
in assuming to tell the Negro people where
they should live. This is the old story against
the colored people; that property deteriorates
and real estate values decrease. The actual
effect Of restrictive covenants and exclusion
Of certain areas is to permit real estate
operators to charge exorbitant prices to white
buyers for housing In so-called exclusive
areas. Surely this looks like front for the
real estate interests.
1t Is ironical, especially now, that in the
Nations Capital such speeches can be made
at time when our Nation is advocating real
democracy for the entire world It is a travesty
on democracy that the public schools should
be used for such utterances The Negro people
OF the District were insulted and the abridg-

VA HERE TELLS
HOSPITAL PLAN
Program Will Make More
Accommodations Open
To Vets

A new program designed to
make more beds available for
Southeastern North Carolina vet
Grams who have not been able to
enter VA hospitals because OF bed
shortages has been put in effect
by the Veterans Administration,
the VA Wilmington office revealed
yesterday.
Under the new program VA hos
pital managers are authorized to
furlough patients whose treatment
can be completed adequately out
of the hospitals and thereby make
available the beds they would &C.
cupy to other veterans also in
need of disqualification. Thus a
greater number OF veterans can
be given medical care than pre-
viously was possible.
The program divides the pa
tients whose disqualification may
be short by this procedure into
service connected and nonservice-
connected cases.
Service : connected patients,
whose disabilities have improved
sufficiently to be treated else
where, will be discharged from
VA hospitals and will receive out
patient treatment in VA hospital
clinics or stations, or on a fee
basis "as circumstances warrant"
Transportation for this treatment
may be furnished at Government
expense.
Nonservice-connected cases, who
can be given final treatment on
an out-patient basis, will be grant
ed leaves of absece from VA hos
pitfalls but will continue to be car
ried on the hospital rolls as pa
tients. They then will report for
treatment only in VA hospital elm
les or field stations. The Govern
ment will not pay transportation
costs or other expenses for this
treatment, and will not provide
treatment outide VA installations.
VA emphasized that the pro-
gram will apply only to those pa
tients whose actual period Of hos
pitalization may be shortened by
this method, without prolongins
treatment or impeding recovery.

IN the near future.

They should act now and make

long, tn e property needed Cor
same may greatly enhance in
value, due to a building boom
here, now that building restric-
tons have been lifted and the real
estate concerns will no doubt pur-
chase all of the available land for
development into subdivisions. l
feel that it would be better to
select a site for a baseball park
not too far out OF town, as it
would be more convenient for the
majority Of people without auto.
mobiles to attend these games.

sport fans have talked with me
