Warns Branches

Observation-Disclosures of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
throughout the country have been
alerted to keep vigilant eye up
on the housing program in their
respective localities being devel-
oped under the Federal Housing
Act of l949.
In memorandum TO all
branches, Leslie Perry of the AS
soeiation's Washington Bureau
warns the local units to be ever
watchful that the Stun clearance
program is not used principally
as vehicle for getting Negroes
out of desirable sections of the
city and relocated in rundown
segregated sections"
Pointing out the responsibility
of local housing authorities in de-
termining need, site location, and
income limits for occupants, Mr..
Perry urged the branches to "ex-
anime the qualifications and atti-
tude of every candidate for men,
bership on the local authority"
Further the NAACP official states
local housing authorities are re-
quired under the law to relocate
families displaced by Stun clear
ance activities in decent, safe and
sanitary dwellings with rents, pu-
bile utilities and other services

military hospitals estimate that it
costs $13 a day to keep the rooms
in operation. There is no charge

The department estimates that

Mr.. Johnson's refusal to go
along with the Pace suggestion
does not necessarily mean that
some change might not be brought
about to affect additional econ

could take the form Of a slight
increase in the fiat charge made

Air Forum Asks POLICY
On Military and Civil
|Avjation Be Clarified

The need for Qualification of
United States aviation policy in
civil as we'll as military fields was
stressed here today by speakers
at the seventh National Air
Forum.
Several hundred delegates were
told that little, If anything, has
been done to implement or re-
ject the recommendations Of the
Presidents Air Policy Commis-
sion, the Congressional Air Policy
Board or the Hoover Commits
sion.
Committee Inac ion Cited.
Louis E. Leverone of Chicago,
president of the National Aero
nautic Association. which Is man
aging the two-day forum in the
Hotel Statler, declared that, some
two years after the reports of the
first two groups. most of the meas
ures recommended "are peace
fully reposing in committees.
These dealt with such matters.
Ihe said, as air safety, the size of
Air Force and Navy air fleets
needed to protect the peace, air
craft procurement and develop
ment policies. airport and airways
development and the economic
problems of the air transportation
and manufacturing industries.
Eugene E. Wilson. chairman of
the board of NAA and wartime
president of United Aircraft,
pointed out the year that saw the
triumph Of the Berlin Airlift has
been climaxed by a still unsettled
controversy among the Army,
Navy and Air Force before the
House Armed Services Committee.
Public Must Decide.
The speaker expressed the view
that deep-seated conflicts in mat
ters Of tactics. strategy and pol
icy brought out by the controversy
are Of such a nature that they can
be resolved "only by public opin-
ion" He asserted it is the re-
sponsibility of aviation leaders to
see that the public is we'll in

at present, If any change was
made for them. The ability to pay
would be the determining factor
under such an arrangement.
Discontinuance of medical care
for dependents would mainly affect
enlisted personnel. Mr.. johnson
in his letter to Mr.. Pace cited the
Navy where 80 per cent of the de-
pendents treated are those of en-
listed men. Even at the present
rate of SITS day. it Is necessary
for az per cent of the men to OBJ
tain assistance from the Navy Re-
lief Society and approximately halt
of that assistance is in the form
of outright grants Of money.
Mr.. Pace originally advanced
the idea that it was the intent OF
Congress to eliminate such privil-
eges when it passed a law this
year raising service pay. But Mr..
johnson pointed out that in hear
ings on the pay bill and in Con-
gressional discussions at the time
of it passage, nothing indicated an
intent of Congress to change the
policies.
On the contrary, he said. the
report of the Hook Commission.
which Congress followed generally
in drafting the pay bill. indicated
need for continuing medical care
for dependents.
Representative Kilday, Demo-
crat, of Texas also wrote President
Truman opposing the discontinue
ance of dependents medical care
and Chairman Vinson of the
House Armed Services Committee
Endorsed Mr.. Kilday's letter.
