Extend Rent
Controls, NAAcP
Bids Congress

WASHINGTON, April 27-The
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People this
week called for the extension of
federal rent controls until at least
June 30, 1851. The present rent
control law expires in June, 1850.
In a statement before the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee,
Leslie Perry of the NAACP Wash
ington Bureau asserted: "The con-
tinued acute housing shortage ex-
listing in every major city in the
United States, coupled with mount
ing unemployment, will leave home
renters completely at the mercy of
their landlords unless Congress re-
enacts adequate rent control leg
islation."
Because the average Negro
home renter is already paying far
more than the premises are actual
ly WORTH" Mr.. Perry said, "our
membership has a special interest
in the continuance of effective con-
trolls"

RESIDENT Y. |.
COMMISSIONER

WASHINGTON, April 27-Fav-
orable consideration of a bill pro-
viding for a resident commissioner
of the Virgin Islands was urged
this week by Roy Wilkins, acting
secretary of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People. The bill was approved
by the House Public Lands Com
mittee in April, 1949, and is pres
emily bottled up in the House Rules
Committee.
In a letter to President Harry
S. Truman, Mr.. Wilkins indicated
that "other territories have
representative who are in a posi-
ton to do a very effective job in
maintaining cordial liaison be-
tween the mainland and our citi-
zens in remote areas" He further
stated that a resident commissioner
for the Virgin Islands would do
much to promote friendly rela-
tions between the United States
and Caribbean countries"
Mr.. Wilkins wrote Chairman
Adolph J. SABBATH of the House
Rules Committee. that "the long
delay" in considering this bill sin
evitably leads to the conclusion
that it is being held up because the
people of the Virgin Islands are
largely colored, and, for this rea-
son, some members of the Rules
Committee do not wish to give
them a representative.
The NAACP position was also
expressed to Chairman Joseph G..
O'Mahoney of the Senate Commit
tee on Interior and Insular Affairs.
Calling the Freeman Law "the
most advanced piece of civil fights
legislation to appear on the statute
books of any state in the union"
Mr.. Greenwood describes in detail
the concerted action of the Joint
Council for Civil Rights toward Sc
curing enactment of the law. This
group, composed Of the NAACP,
AJC, and fifty other statewide or
CARNATIONS, launched an unprece-
denied campaign throughout the
state, set up county chapter, pro-
noted an educational program, en-
listed an army of active workers,
organized forums, held a series of
mass meetings, bombarded state
assemblymen and senators with
communications, sponsored radio
broadcasts, sent delegations to visit
representatives and prevailed upon
newspaper editors to publish edi-
torials and on ministers to preach

seHUMAN's PLAN

Robert Sehuman, Foreign Minister Of
France, is the author of a plan which
calls for the pooling of the coal and steel
production of Germany, Italy, Belgium,
the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France.
In addition, he would eliminate customs
duties and blend the wage-price policies
and social and fiscal legislation Of the
countries.
The French statesman takes some
pride in the initiative that this country has
taken in proposing such peaceful cooper
alton. He considers the approach sbold"
and ambitious but worthwhile. and
suggests the countries sharing in it will
no longer be tempted to wage war" be-
cause such conflict viii have become "un-
thinkabIe and impraetieable-
There is much to be said for any
scheme that viii mobilize the economic
power of the countries named for their
common benefit Nevertheless, we do not
think much of the Schuman suggestion
that his plan represents method to pre-
vent war or that it replaces the necessity
for free countries to be in a position ito
defend peace by arms
1t is quite possible that, in the course
of development, the Schuman plan might
make war improbable and idpractieable
between the countries involved. There is
no reason to suspect that it will have any
effect upon Soviet Russia. however.
In the meantime, before the Schuman
plan can get into operation and before it
nbe discovered whether it will be bene-
fetal or not, the rulers in the Kremlin
might decide to wage aggressive warfare
If this occurs, and the free countries are
without the ability ito defend peace by
arms. they will be without the ability to
try the alternate method that Mr.. Schuman

AN INTERESTING DEFENSE

An engineer who ran his train into
the rear of another. killing thirty-two peo-
pie and injuring more than one hundred
passengers WAS recently tried on a charge
of manslaughter, and acquitted because
he put up the defense that he tainted al
the controls Just before the crash.

neer with long experience, who, upon an
unfortunate occasion. passes a danger
signal is out of his mind. It is very diff
cult to believe that an experienced en-
gineer would wilsully and recklessly
pass through signal warning him that
another train is ahead
Nevertheless, the verdict of the Jury
IN this case offers an interesting defense
to all engineers who may be accused of
criminal carelessness. All that they have
to assert and persuade the jury to believe
is that they "blacked-out" Perhaps, af-
ter all, this is the explanation of many
mexplicable accidents that occur.
