political and public affairs that

for a number of years and has
been active in many phases of
Hub activity. A few years ago he
became valued associate of the
great Mayor Curley and he was
eventually made part of the
Mayors personal Office staff.
In the Mayors Office Willis was
able to study at first hand the
needs of the colored people of
Boston. He has been a moving
figure in every major proposal to
improve the lot Of the South End
and Roxbury areas, where most
of Boston's colored people live.
He has submitted to the Mayor
and to other officials a number
of well-planned projects for hous-
ing sanitation, health and well
fare, many of which have already
been undertaken and others OF
which are still under study.
During the last election cam
paign Willis advice and guidance
were much sought, especially in
the successful drives of Gov.
Paul A. Dever and President Tru-

Boston Committee for Civil
Rights, and helped Boston COM

that his services were sought in

Mayor Curley Made
Good Appointment

AS the large, imposing addition
to the Lenox Street Housing Pro-
ject in Boston's South End drew
nearer completion, attention was
focused on the fact that it will
house its first tenants hardly a
year after the Project Director,
Carl Willis, first took his new
post.
The Project addition has an in
teresting history, one almost as
striking as the career of Willis,
himself. 1t is one of the first
which was started after the Off
ciaI State red tape had been cut
and had released funds for build
ing nnuch-needed housing in
Massachusetts. It is built on land
which had been sought for many
years, but which was never made
available for housing or any other
purpose until two years ago, at
the time when Willis was sec
rotary to the Hubs nationally
famous Mayor James Michael
Curley. With the completion of
this new unit adjacent to the
present Lenox Street Project
limits, Mayor Curley and those
close to him expect to begin the
most sweeping housing enterprise
in the history of New England:
the complete replacement OF the
whole sub-standard South End
with modern, comfortable, reas-
enable housing, from Dover street
to Roxbury-an expanse Of over
two solid miles. This movement
was one of the first expressed by
Willis in a public appearance
several years ago
The three-hundred-odd family
Lenox Street Project shows a
unique transformation since the
administration Of Mr.. Willis be-
gan in February of last year. The
physical grounds have been inn
proved and added to until the
Project is used as an example for
the dozen other similar ventures
in the Boston area. Management
efficiency has been stepped up to
a frictionless perfection, and ten
ancy problems have been reduced
to a minimum.
One of the prime aims of any
municipality aided housing pro-
gram has been very largely real
lied in the Lenox Street Project
since Willis took over its direc-
ton: the extension of its benefits
to the outside community sur
rounding the Housing area. In
this connection Willis has sue
ceeded in bringing many out
side'' groups into the Project for
their meetings and activities; a
nursery and play school project

Without Civil Rights
