Real Estate Brokers
And Builders
Warned
By Ernest E. Johnson

DETROIT - Two of the nations
top housing officials warned mem
bers of two groups interested in
housing which are meeting here
this week to be on the alert for ef-
forts to eliminate minorities from
specific areas under the guise of a
slum clearance program, and des-
cribed site selection for Negroes and
financing as the two major problems
to doing a better job.
The words were those of Raymond
M. Foley, Housing and Home FL
nance Agency Administrator, and
Commissioner Franklin D. Richards,
Federal Housing Administration.
Commissioner Richards presented
the statement of the Administrator
on Monday before a joint session of
the National Association of Real Es-
tate Brokers and the National Build
ers Association, meeting at the
Rackham Memorial Building. He
spoke in his own behalf today
Tuesday) before another joint ses-
sion of the two conventions.
Federal loans and grant aids are
the tools which may be used to
translate these (slum clearance and
urban redevelopmenD plans into re-
atty" the Foley statement read.
"In each locality applying for such
aid, however, we must all concern
ourselves to make certain that slum
clearance does not become essential
1y vehicle to clear out minority
groups from areas to be developed.
Commissioner Richards said that

minority housing has proved to be
Sound investment" but that this
area Of mortgage lending has not
been explored and utilized as
thoroughly as it deserves. "Contin.
ued failure of private enterprise to
take advantage of this market is
apt to increase the demand by Ne.
groes for public housing" he added.
He stressed the fact that FILA is
doing what it can to deal with the
problems of site selection and finan-
cling, and pointed to closer coopera-
ton at the local level as a possible
solution to the first. Richards not.
ed, however, that there has not
been an appropriate increase in the
lending activities of Negro institu-
tions," although number of them,
including Negro life insurance COM
panies, are approve mortgages
Foley's statement also made refer.
ence to the need for extending the
services of the federal savings and
loan institutions among Negroes.
The convention of the realists
came to grips with the challenge Of
White realtors, acting through
their own National Association of
Real Estate Boards, to compel the
former group to cease using the
name and letters NAREB as we'll
as the seal and word "realist" which
the Negro groups has adopted
President w. d. Morrison, Jr. of De-
troit, in his annual report, urged
the establishment of a defense fund
also to meet this challenge and also
to protect its members against To-
cal intimidation as happened
against Negro realist in Georgia
when he sold a property in a social
ed White neighborhood to a Negro.
Both conventions were to termi-
nate on Wednesday.

painful sunburn and bruised ego to-

Both the Negro and White popu-
lation of 10000 in this capital town
of the tribe were significantly alb
sent when Ruth, blonde former
London typist and her husband,
Sereste Khama, chief apparent Of
the tribe arrived yesterday.
A blazing sun beat down upon
them, sending temperatures up over

Navy Is Top Color In Spring Suits;
Coats, Short or Fitted, All Flared

monotone tweed, and it's hip in
terest isn't too noticeable, but it
is there in the cut and the buttons.
It is young soft suit shown in,
and perfect for, grey faille. Above
all it has cuffed three-quarter
length sleeves. Both suits and
coats of the dressy type are going
in for such sleeves.
"One new short coat is made
as Paris makes them, with a
voluminous flare all the way
around = wonderful with spring
suits, and wonderful for sports.
Tweed is it's new fabric. A one
button shortie is also a spring-suit
coat, and a summer sport coat.
But all the ripple is at the back.
Huge patch pockets are just for
fun.
"a princess coat in navy is the
long coat of the spring and sum-
mer. One such design puts an
accent on figure, curving in very
much at the waistline, flaring out
very much at the hem. Another
princess coat has more conserva-
tive lines. It's flare is more mod
crate. With three-quarter sleeves,
it is dressy, just right with prints.
"One striking sun-dress has a
halter top. 1t is also the proud
possessor of a bolero which shades
it and makes it respectable for
the street. Nice spot of black full
ness in the skirt, and there's a
back zir2er. A good sea-sun-and-
fun suit is three-piecer, with a
scoop neckline and bare midriff.
And so that no one may take the
covering up of the skirt seriously,
it buttons down part way only.
1t is very full skirt.
"Black boleros are something
new for white or pastel sun
dresses. How smart that up-fipped
collar. There are lots of breezy
collars in the mode now. The
dress itself has back fulness and
huge patch pockets. A fly-away
collar gives a summer casual dress
a good send-off. Many casuals go
in for such breezy effects. It's
a marvellous between season de-
sign for jesrsey, good gingham
one for summer"

Sees Bright Side To Atomic Age;
U. S. Youth Faces Best Opportunities

Is this the most depressing and
urDromising time in human his
tory? Almost every young per-
son thinks so, but actually no pc
riod in the past was so good to
live in or so full of hope as this
Atomic Age, says Frederick Van
Ryn. Writing in RedbooX Maga-
zine for February, he points to
the abundance of jobs, the in
creasing educational opportunities
for all, the advances of medical
science = and above all, the un-
shakable faith in freedom and
human dignity:
"We are entering the Atomic
Age. Few of us know anything
about it. And yet the decade
which lies just ahead, although
still a complete stranger to us,
has already managed to acquire a
shockingly bad reputation. We
face it with fear and uncertainty,
as others, in their time, have
faced the threat of the. future.
History can tell us, if we will
listen, that the period ahead will
be better than we now think; it
could hardly be worse.
Whenever | hear that the
Atomic Age will usher in not only
sudden death but better motors,
stoves, toasters and other conve-
niences, l am reminded that time
saving and drudgery-eliminating
devices are wonderful; but, let us
hope, more enduring achievements
will come out of the bloody
struggle of the 1940's.
"Some of them are already dis
cernible:
"QD More jobs and better op.
portunities for youth.

Of conquering those relentles:
enemies of humanity = cancer
heart disease, tuberculosis anC
the like.

Navy is leading color this
spring, with about half the suits
being shown in it. Many of those
in other colors are made up in a
new soft, thin tweed. Coats for
spring are either short and flared
= or long, fitted and flared.
Marian Corey writes about these
and other spring and summer
fashions in McCall's for February:
"Last year when you walked
into a suit department to look
over the new suits, almost every
one was grey or greyish. This
year, they all seem to be navy:
dark navy, light navy, bright
navy. If navy is not your color,
take a second glance and discover
that about fifty per cent of the
suits are in other colors - greys,
beiges and browns. Simply guam
titles of these, mostly in mems
wear fabrics. Also tweed suits,
looking different because the
tweed is different, not thick and
lumpy at all, but fine and soft
and thin.
Suit skirts are slim and straight.
They come below mid-calf, about
IL or 13 inches from the sidewalk.
The classic man-tailored suit is
back in the fold. Jackets are
mainly average lenth, and many
suits have some sort of hip in
terest. One classic suit in Glen
plaid has everything very trim
and tailored, but there is hip in
terest in big pocket flaps.
"a Pood-looking navy suit is
semi tailored and semi-soft. which
means wearable. Hip interest
shows up in the pockets. The ma
teTal is gabardine, still the big
favorite. Another suit is in fine

"No one can deny that the CT

which come very handy when the
going gets bad and life looks

"As for jobs, even the prophets
of gloom and disaster concede
that there are more good jobs

this country than ever before;
and that there will be an abund-
ance of jobs for at least two or
