Submit Plan for ENDING
Housing Friction

ATLANTA, Nov. %. (ANP)-
The Atlanta Urban league last
week submitted a housing plan for
six Negro residential areas to the
city slum clearance committee
which if adopted is believed will
alleviate present over-crowded con-
ditions in existing Negro residen-
tial areas and lessen friction be-
tween the races.
The plan involving residential
areas in Fulton, DeKalg and Clay
ton counties would be expanded
along flexible delineated lines ac-
cording to the plan which was
drawn up by the Atlanta Housing
council and presented by the Ur-
ban league. The housing area study
is said to be the result of a study
by competent white and Negro
leaders.
The Atlanta housing authority
has submitted to the slum clear
ance committee a map of Atlanta
showing areas where public hous-
ing projects yer being planned.
The largest for Negroes is an area
of about 80 blocks of dwellings
on the Westside of town bordered
by Sunset avenue, Thurmond,
Davis and Carter streets, near At
lanta university. Another area in

Harlem, Papers Clash
Over Campaign

NEW YORK, Nov. %. (ANP)
Harlem's oldest and largest news
papers, the New York Age and
Amsterdam News, respectively,
engaged in a front page clash last
week over the campaign, initiated
by the Amsterdam News, to get
"decent advertising copy" from
merchants operating in 125th
business heart of the country's
largest black belt.
Many of the community's top
leaders,, including Ashley Totten,
of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters (AFL), and Frank
R. Crosswaith, another labor lead
er, stated in front page stories car
ried by "The Age" that mass pick
citing, as suggested by editorials
and stories in the Amsterdam
News, was fraught with danger at
this time.
Some ministers, including the
Rev. John H. Johnson and the
Rev. Thomas S. Harton, rescinded
their previous endorsement of the
committee backing the Amster-
dam News.
Behind the scenes, though, were
politicians who have violently op-
posed the Amsterdam News in the
past for it's support of Gov
Thomas E. Dewey. They privately
hoped to lick the top paper in the
community, so far IS new adver-
Using is concerned, and make a
personal "killing" for themselves.
In labor circles, it was reported
that prominent members of the
New York Newspaper guild were
studying the controversy carefully
in the belief that merchants in
Harlem should buy Justified
space" in Negro newspapers be-
cause such income helped to make
their jobs more secure.

Homes in Ohio in Fine
Repair, Survey Reveals

Homes in Ohio are in much bet
ter repair today than before the
war, in spite of shortages of ma
terials which have prevailed until
recently, according to a report re-
leased by the Tile Council of
America.
Only 81 per cent Of all dwell
ings in Ohio and the North Cen
trail states today need such re-
pairs as replacement of floors,
roofs, walls or other major struc-
tural parts, the report disclosed.
Twice this many, or TIA per cent,
were in need of such work in 1910.
The report was based on surveys
made by the Bureau of the Cen
Sus.
Homes are not. only in better
repair today but also more have

such modern conveniences as cen
trail heating, tiled baths and cleo
trio lights than did before the
war;" said F. B. Ortman, chair
man Of the Councils residential
construction committee.
Private bathrooms, for instance,
have been installed in tens of
thousands of dwellings in the
North Central states since 1910,
Ortman pointed out. Over 81 per
cent now have such facilities, in
comparison with 53.3 per cent in
1910.
More than 81 per cent of houses
in the North Central area today
have electric lighting, and 58.2
per cent have central heating, ac-
cording to the Tile Council report.
In 1910, 1871 per cent had cleo
tricity and only 52.9 per cent cen
trail heating, it showed.
