The need is great for an organ

to combat the spread Of anita

of that program by sluggish and
less alert minded folk who when
thrown into the throes of inee-

F. D. Roosevelt Jr.
Hits High Rent

WASHlNGION, ID. g. (NNPA)
Over one million Americans Will
be faced with the choice of pay
ing higher rents or being evicted
from their homes if the present
rent control measures now under
consideration in Congress are
passed, Franklin d. Roosevelt, Jr.,
national housing chairman of the
American Veterans Committee
said here last Friday.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that the
issue before the nation now on
rent controls can be phrased as
struggle between millions of In
dividual tenants who are trying
to pay rents within their means
and who are willing to give land
lords an increase, where warrant
ed, and selfish" real estate in
terests who want to make a
"grab of five billion dollars out of
tenants pocketboods."
Mr.. Roosevelt, in a press con-
ference at the American Veterans
Committee headquarters, cited
figures to show that the claim that
landlords are going broke sis
completely unfounded."
There is no justification for an
|across-the board increase in rents
Inow," he declared. Not only has
the overall net income for real
estate owners gone up 2S per
cent since 1889, but the services
which the landlords have custom
|arily given tenants have virtually
disappeared. In the case of own
|ers of small apartment houses in
tWenty-four cities, maintenance
|costs have actually declined some
is per cent since 1885," He added
that for small structures the net
Income is 43 per cent above the
1899 level.
Mr.. Roosevelt said rent increas-
es would hit directly at colored
people and other low income
groups. He labelled the housing
conditions for colored people in
the south is appalling" He added
that in New York the AVG hous-
ing committee had $4,000 doctors
certificates on file stating that if
the housing shortage is not allevi-
ated there the health of that num-
Der of veterans in the city would
be permanently impaired.
Stating that the, only way land
lord hardship cases could be
equitabIy met is on an individual
basis, Mr.. Roosevelt said already
more than one million individual
increases in rent had been grant
ed in such hardship" cases and
that the current rate was now
10000 a month.
He said he understood the Of
fee of Temporary Control announ-
ced last Thursday relaxed rules
making rent increases easier for
lanodlrds to obtain under the
hardship provisions. "This is the
sensible way to meet the prob
lem," he stated.

The Deep South
Speaks
Freedom Day
BY ROBERT DURR
For the NNPA News Service

Freedom Day
Delegates representing the gov
ernors of thirty-seven states in
Guiding Mrs. l.. S. Gaillard and
myself representing Governor Jas.
e. Folsom of Alabama, assembled
in Congress Hall and Independ-
ence Hall, Philadelphia, February
l and 2, to celebrate National
Freedom Day commemorating a.
doption of the Thirteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution of the
United States which prohibited
slavery in this country.
Speaking at Independence Hall,
Senator Francis ]. Myers, Demo
crat, Pennsylvania, declared that
retrogression from the moral
principles of the Thirteenth A
mendment had been in a large
measure responsible for catastro-
phic wars. "It is true that the
last vestage of slavery has dis
appeared in America, but one can
yet detect the rumblings of dat
ent forces which would subjugate
whole classes of people because
of their race, color or creed the
Senator declared. The people
who encourage them are the
shame of the nation-the organ
izations which tester them must
be erased if freedom is to forge
ahead"
The second speaker at Inde-
pendence Hall was Representative
Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Demo
crat, New York. He pointed out
that freedom in America is only
the right and the privilege to fight
for freedom. 1--WE of this genera
