Frances O. X. Of In
African Plan REGRETTED"

PARIS--CANP)---A motion of
regret" was voted here last week
by the foreign affairs committee
of the National assembly over
French acceptance of the UN
plan for former italian colonies.
The committee took a dim view
toward the international statute
for Cyrenaica, Tripolitania and
the Fezzan and the creation of an
independent greater Lbya" to
flank French North Africa by
Jan. /, 1852.
According to Edouard Bonne-
fous, chairman of the group, the
committee was more convinced
than ever of the vital Importance
of the former italian possessions
in North Africa and TO the de-
fense of the Sahara"
However, Foreign Minister Rob-
ert Schuman told the foreign af-
fairs committee of the Council Of
the Republic that France had not
lost sight Of its interests in ac-
Cepting the UN resolution. He said
nothing would be done in Libya
without the consent of the local
populations.

chieuso's Housing Group
Buns Project Segregation

CHICAGO L AMP )--- The Chi
cago Housing authority announc-
ed here last week that non-segre-
cation of races will be its policy
for new public housing projects
in the city under the federal gov
ernment multi-billion dollar hous-
ing program. This policy was laid
down after an announcement in
Washington that the PHA would
leave the decision of whether to
segregate races in public housing
projects up to local authorities.
Said Robert X. Taylor, CHA
chairman, we have not yet re-
ceived the PHA statement of pol
icy on this matter. However, in
our opinion both the federal con-
stitution and the Illinois civil
rights act specifically prohibit
discrimination or segregation,
which is merely a form of dis.
elimination, in the operation of
public housing in Chicago.
I'VE will continue to obey the
law and will not discriminate or
segregate In the operation of the
new federal housing program as
1t is applied in Chicago"

Formed After Heuted Boftle

Little Rock, Ark. -- (ANP) -
After 80 minutes of wrangling
over what the purpose of a new
organization would be, a group OF
Negro leaders meeting in First
Baptist church here last week de-
Cided to form the Citizens league,
an organization to represent the
local Negro community in public
and civic affairs.
Still earlier, hot disputes were
entered into as to whether the
group shold be formed at all and
whether Temporary permanent, or
any officers should be named.
The wrangling was over the
adoption of the statement without
the words public and civic" Atty.
J. r. Booker moved TO insert these
words and the argument was re-
volved. Prior to that, there was a
heated discussion over whether the
name Of the group should be the
Negro Citizens Committee Of
Little Rock.
A compromise was reached by
the appointment of Rev. o. 3. Car
ner and F. A. Young as temporary
chairman and secretary, respec-
lively.
