The Hartford Chronicle

housing coordinator of the National Urban League re- ported this week.
 Pointing out that the end of temporary war housing con- struction had seriously reduc- ed building of new units for the entire population, MT. Johnson stated thatrecent re- allocation of the government housing for emergency use in certain cities has had the effect of cutting Negro unit-occu- pancy even below the level of the war years.
 Of the total of 254, ,000 re- use temporary housing accom- modations provided for veter- ans during 1946, only 5000, or less than two per cent, were specified for Negroes and, as late as. October, only 1,600 were available for actual use, the Urban League spokesman charged. In contrast, it was pointed out, 15,000 special war housing units for Negro occu- ipancy were constructed be- tween 194O and 1945, and dur ing the federal public housing program 129,000 units, or nine teen per cent of the total, were earmarked for Negro occu- pancy.
 ''The sharp decline in avail ability of new public housing for Negroes has not been in any degree matched by an in- crease in private construction for lower or middle income families" MT. Johnson reveal ed. "Only a negligible amount of private money ever has gone into contraction of hous- ing for Negroes. As an ex- ample, from 1889 to June, 1946 only 23,000 FILA insured units had been constructed for Ne groes throughout the country. While some privately financed housing construction for Ne groes now is under way in twenty or more cities, the amount is negligible, since private builders are concen- | trating on construction for the higher income families. "
 The Urban League report places much of the blame for the situation on failure of Con- gress to enact the Wagner-El- lender-Taft Housing Bill.

For The First Time 4 Chancellor

For The First Time a Chonceiior
of the University visits Lexington.
The new Chancellor, DR.. Williams,
a native of Kentucky, addressed the
Rotary Club last Friday, making an
excellent impression of ability ana
brains. Among other things he thinks
that a school such as the University
is not merely to teach material
things, like how to repair an auto
mobile, run a sawmill, raise chick
ems, but is to broaden the outlook,
strengthen the morals, form right
habits of thought; supply knowledge
and teach the youth how to use 1t.
Quite refreshing after hearing SO
much about teaching young people
the things they can USE" not be-
lifting manual training but adding
mental training, clear and proper
thinking.
