Negro Ownership
Tops Whites In

the house they dive in," New
ember Ebony feature declares,
with the result that Negro home
ownership is proportionately
greater than that of whites, ac-
cording to the Federal Housing
and Home Finance Agency"
Avid hunger Of families for a
home of their own and increased
investment of millions of dollars
in property by wealthy Negroes
are the two factors most respon-
sible for this increase in Negro
home ownership, the Ebony story
entitled Real Estate" AYERS. How
ever, the article adds, despite
these advances the demand is still
tremendous because of the big
gain in Negro population in ur-
ban areas.
"The number Of Negroes in
these areas rose by third in the
last seven years but dwelling
units for them rose by only a
fourth" Ebony says, and adds:
This boom in real estate in Ne
gro communities has brought a
bonanza to the nations 5000 col
ored realty brokers whose yearly
sales volume now tops the billion
dollar mark"
The magazine also predicts that
the Supreme Court decision a.
gainst restrictive covenants will
open many new fields for Negso
realtors and an even bigger year
will follow in l949.

Catholic Weekly
Back Statement
On Negro Race

Albany, N. Y.-.States' Rights
do not outrank God-given rights"
This is the theme of an editorial
appearing this week in The Evan
geHst published here on the re-
volt of the Southern Dixiecrats
against President TrlInans Civil
Rights program. The Evangelist is
the official publication of the
Catholic Diocese Of Albany.
The revolt against the Civil
Rights Program" evidences a dif-
ference Of thought that transcends
the realm of politics" the editor
ial asserts. Basically. the conten-
tons of the advocates of white
supremacy, and States Rights in
this instance are false. States
Rights do not outrank God-given
rights. Man, fashioned to the i'm
age and likeness of God, possess
es dignity and rights that are a.
bove any human-made barriers of
race. color or creed.
The editorial goes on to COM
mend the New Orleans Unit of
the Catholic Committee of the
South who. Drawing the ire of
southern political leaders and BIZ
gots." recently condemned the
Use Of states rights as dishonor-
able when employed in attempt
ing to continue the unjust dis
elimination against the Negro Ia
borer and the privation of the
Negro of equal opportunity for
higher education and professional
training"
