While 1 am officially representing

These races now in the United

1t is our con 'idered Judgment,

however, that this Subcommittee
should consider a more furdamen-
tai approach to the situation that
created the need for this proposed
stopgap legislation We respectfully
suggest that the appropriate time
has come when the Congress should
repeal THAI last re naming racial
barriers against naturalization and
immigration.
The enactment of such basic le-
9islstion would not only sbviate the
neceSsit- for such pieoemeal RENE

present discussion. but would also
solve many more injustices and in
qualities.
Such step is In complete accord
with recent congressional policy.

Housing
Rent Up

An increaee in the cost of living
during the past i've years resulted
today in an annou1c n cnt by the
Seattle Houain.e Authority that in
core ceilings for admission To Yesler
Terrace will 10 raised May from
a flat $500 TO arrange of $500 for
small families TO $2335 for large
families The old rent schcdule was
based on apartment size, While the
new schedule determines rent ac-
cording to The size of the family.
In announcing the new rent
sCiodule ter Yasler Terrace, Scattle%
low-rent development Executive y
rector Charles W Ross said b o
change will actually result In rent
decrease for 55 per cent ol the resi-
dents an increase for u per per
cent, and no change in rent for 80
per cent. A
Since the cost of living in Sc
attic has risen approximately so
per cent during the war years, a
salary of 800 rcr month five years
ago is about equal to a salary of
$3.50 per month now" Ross ex-
planned, Furthermore. incomes
have increased hy an average of 10
r, cent d,ring his period There
fore. in oraGr to continue TO meet
the nceI FOR FOOD housirg for peo-
pie who had an income Of $1,000
five years ago. we a.e increasing
the income liali;S to AN amount in
keeping with what that income
would be today"
In almost all instances, Ross de-
clafed. The new rents arr less than
the rlaXic:um allowed under O.P.A
ceilings.
"Th5ac families whose incomes
exceed the newly established limits
will pay the fun OpA. rent CELL
ings' he declared. Families which
are over-ir come are required to find
other accommodation as soon as
possible"
He explained there are oyer-in-
cclle families now residing in Yes
, Ter Terrace primarily because in
come limits yer temporarily raised
during the var period TO $2700 for

The new schedule. which was APP
proved by the AuthOrityS Board of
Commissioners, is the second action
taken in recent weeks which recog-
nizes the general increase in income.
The first move Ross pointed out,
was the abolishitg OF military rents,
