The Deep South Speaks
DANGER IN DUAL COMMUNITIES
BY Robert Durr for (CNS)

The success of AngoSaxon forced domination of people
OF color as in India Africa America elsewhere pedcaed
upon the old British policy of dividing peoples into various
communities and classes and pg these divisions against each
other and PRONUNCIATION pride within the component constituent
OF each division in their assigned place the which they
live and have their being
This sort of thing has tended TO not only promote inter
group anagonsm and conflict has laid the foundation for in
ogroup antagonSm and conflict And has made white domino
ton exploitation and domination relatively easy to the detr
ment of the coored peoples of the earth
And the most tragic aspect this tragedy the fact that

The Bank of Kodiak, which had the distinction .''.of being the first Alaska Territorial bank to gain membership in Federal Deposit Insurance banks, has announced that all deposits are now insured for $10, 900, a new increase from the former amount of $5, 900. ! The added insurance is one ' of the features of the new Federal Deposit Insurance Act passed just before Congress adjourned and is the first major change in 15 years.
 Marshall Crutcher, local bank president. in announcing the increased insurance, sail:
 "The act has been a great success. Sponsored by Senator Vandenburg of Michigan dur ing the early years of the de- pression, the bill was enacted in 1888. The corporation col ] 'lects premiums from insured banks to pay expenses and los ses. Under the careful ex- animation of all insured banks, losses have been so small that the corporation has paid back to the federal treasury all the money that Congress first appropriated. In addition it has amassed a surplus of $1.2 billions, all invested in United States bonds. In case of need, it may borrow an additional s billions from the treasury.
 For over six years no de- positor in any insured bank has sustained any loss regard. less of whether the amount o1 the deposit was more or less than $5, ,O0O. FDIC estimates that 98% of all depositors en. joy full insurance under the $10,00 maximum law.

He was speaking at the opening

THE UN has been more success

press about the housing situation
in Portland.
First. l would like to know, Of
those who object to public hous-
ing, how many will rent a livable
house in a respectable neighbor-
hood at a reasonable rent to a
family which includes small chill
dren?
Second, I wish to know how
many of those same people would
rent a house under the same con-
ditions to a Negro family which
does or does not include small
children. As Negro with children
I know the answer-public housing.
Again and again we have tried
to rent a house in a godd neighbor-'
hood at not too high a rent. Those
who rent to people without chill
dren wouldn't rent to Negroes.
Those who rent to Negroes didn't
want to rent to families with
small children. Then there are
those to whom it makes no diff
ference. The novels they offer!
Even our cat wouldn't enjoy living
in those conditions.
Now, we think the answer is in
buying a home. Now, it isn't OBJ
