NEW SCHEDULE OF FEES ANNOUNCED BY VA AND FILA

The Veterans Administration and Federal Housing Admins tration have announced new joint regulations to eliminate excessive fees and charges in connection with the construc- ton of housing financed with the aid of government guaran- tees or insurance under the G.I. Bill and the National Housing Act.
 The new regulations apply both to construction loans and the permanent financing of new homes with credit aids provided by G.I. loans guaranteed by the VA, or FHA-insured loans. They will apply only to applications for VAS reasonable value or for FILA commitments received in VA or FILA offices on or after July IT, 1850.
 The maximum interest rate on construction money advanced to builders under the schedule is set at 5 per cent. In addition, the lender making the construc- tion loan will be permitted to charge up to 2 and one-half per cent of the amount of the funds advanced as service charge to cover costs of supervision, mak- ing periodic advances, clearance of liens, and other overhead.
 Where the lender financing the construction also finances the mortgage loan of the pur-
Seward seaport record., 1950-07-18

chaser, no additional service charge in connection with the latter loan is permitted. Where the permanent loan is made by a lender other than the institu- tion advancing the construction loan, a flat fee previously au- thorized, which may not exceed l per cent, will continue to be allowed.
 In addition to the permissible service charge, the builder also may be required to pay certain other miscellaneous expenses, such as recording fees and those paid for appraisals and inspec- tions.

Federal Unit Proposed
To Study Plans for
An Alternate Capital

Representative Holifield. Demo-
crat. OF California, proposed today
that Federal commission be Gre
ated to study plans for an alter
nate Capital of the United States.
The nerve center of our Ma
ton would be paralyzed" by the
explosion of an atomic bomb over
WASHINGTON, he warned.
Mr.. Holifield said he had de-
cided to introduce a Congressional
resolution calling for the consid-
Grafton of an alternate seat of
Government "as a result Of an
accumulation of knowledge during
my service for the past four years
on the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy"
Would Consider Site.
"The continuity of Government
functions in a period of national
emergency created by atomic or
hydrogen bomb disaster must be
guaranteed" he said. Such a
guarantee does not exist at the
present time"
He pointed out that the area of
destruction of an ordinary atomic
bomb would embrace the White
House, defense headquarters, the
Capitol, the Supreme Court and
the central Offices of practically
every vital department of Govern
ment.'
The commission proposed by
j Mr.. Holifield would look into the
5 matter of sites for an alternate
Capital, 'to be used in the event
/ of attack by foreign power"
It would consider the number
and types of buildings which
would be needed there and the
extent to which Federal records
should be duplicated.
Succession Study Asked.
The commission also would be
directed to study succession pro-
cedures to be used in the event
? the President, Vice President or a
member of Congress was unable
to perform his duties as the result
of attack by a foreign power"
This might necessitate recon-
mendations for amendments to-
the Constitution, the resolution
suggested.
The Secretary of Defense would
head the seven-member commits
sion. A Senator, a Representa-
tive, a member of the Supreme
Court and representatives of the
National Security Council, Ma
tional Security Resources Board
and Atomic Energy Commission
also would serve.

when the Government urged do same thing in order

NEGROES Also Are Needed
" S. S. Taylor, Associate Editor

The exodus from Arkansas during the last decade mas been
great the number of from the state may De
reduced six in the 1883 election says ne
the daily The rule back of this that since the number
ABS the increasing population makes congressman
represent larger number of people each decade Inc power
congress proportional therefore to It's population
for the larger population the larger the representation
the Negro plays part of highest Importance mere to
in this count neither creed color nor even the poll
tax matters In this situation then ARKANSAS needs all of
people An emgrang Negro affects the count as much as
an emgrang white man.
Why do Negroes leave southern states?
The biggest reason is The So-called common Negro
wants personal freedom If calls him liar he wants TO
back the ephet If he hit he wants to return the blow
He feels that this policy would quickly get him into trouble
he followed il with white people He feels that he must swallow
ofense and teach his family swallow it, if he would
keep his family and himself safe from bodily niuy-perhap
death
Many the Negroes who left during the did not leave
because work. they left because of FEAR and the
better merely gave them the opportunity to leave With
the incentive of fear so of those who left would
probably have remained.
II is true that number leaves because Of better work OPP
portunes elsewhere This fact ID welnown that II needs
elaboration here
other items attracting the Negroes elsewhere in numbers
those of education and recreation The Negro housewife who
take the kids out to wadng pool after the housewok is
done makes splendid advertising agent for the city in which
she lives Those who have the money follow her When family
leaves Arkansas for any and goes setup offering
educational facilities open only to white children in Arkansas
he and his parent write the back home and the home folk
(when they the money and the nee) follow the beckonng
hand Of good schools good recreation facilities old
The matter of hospital facilities is to be overlooked
of migration Where Negroes do have vested
terest and when they have little surplus and face the necessity
of operations hospital cumbency any reason quite
of them leave for points where they not limited to hospital
Easements and whore they may have Negro doctor
dance if they wish
This exodus important from economic standpoint
it is from political The Negro who leaves usually a b,
above the in financial ability That why he is able
leave.
The state or city which cares for its congressional renrp
sentaon and Its expanding industry business viii do well to
take care of the small and ordinary matters which make life
pleasant for ordinary people Moreover the or city should
not wait until congress passes civil rights legislation TO

I've Been Thinking
BY Cab Galloway

New York senator Herbert H. Lehman has sent the NAACP
his annual check in the Of $1,000 contribution which
was naturally accepted with thanks by Walter White of
the NAACP
That $1,000 will come mighty handy and perhaps that's
why Walter White offered his warm thanks say that may
be the reason but doubt it.
The real reason for that thanks was that man
of Herbert Lehman political will take the and will
show the sincerity of his convictions make a stable
trbuuon of this kind-not but annually
unaraid of the dsnging he could be opening himself
TO he would rather bask in the warmth of sincerity realizing
that he has convictions which he knows right he will
live up to those convictions rather than the easier
incidentally cheaper road by avoiding this contribution
The bgots have talked about Lehman before and they will
that he is far greater than bgots attack him and
their attacks fall off like striking stone And he has
made himself that way by living his convictions
I've noticed though that it's often big man. the man
who suffers most from mudslngng who big enough take
easier to get to small than big have probably never
tried to get to the big man with legitimate reason.
There are exceptions of but big people are often
big just because they have been human and firm of con
vcton Small people stay small often of their failures
those points
Now, don't get excited and say that old Cabs gone high.

The Bells Toll
BY Leonard n. Bell

BY Leonard X. Bell
One very important political weapon long ignored by Ne
gro leaders and organizations is the boycott.
Early colonial Americans the freedom that Wte a
mercans enjoy not only by agitation fighting ana oter
methods but also by the of the powerful boycott
few weeks ago discovered that in soed democra-
tic Milwaukee Wis that employment the beer pro-
ducon plants will not allow Negroes to fill out job application
blanks And those who insist upon applying for work called
Communists"
This is very appropriate time to institute the boycott as
suggested by the Denver Star who discovered this rank dis
elimination who says Eve demand that IS million Negroes in
United States neither buy drink beer produced in Milwaukee
until the ban against Negro workers is lifted"
This writer wholly agrees with this statement and feels that
such demand should be enforced by the NAACP and other
sponsbe agencies who could marshall the full strength of the
Negro masses to make this complete national boycott
Pckets from these organizations could patrol every local dis
trbutor of Milwaukee beer with educational signs until this
is lifted
The boycott has been used by Negroes very effectively
some localities where the czeny boycott conscious but
often, and in too many localities this is not so,
and such consciousness must be promoted by campaigns of ed-
cational propaganda.

skirt Rev Willett stated that he
did not enter the alteration at any
time but was serving only to keep
the Bells from 7double-teening up
On my child while she was fight
inc with Barbara Roosevelt made a
similar claim. However, the Will
let's did not state in their testi-
monies nor did any OF the wit
nessesl that any oil the Bells had
struck either Rev. Willett or
Roosevelt as they had charged in
the affidavit. Therefore these char
ges against the Bells were dismiss,
ed.
Numerous Previous Convictions
The judge pointed out that Rev.
Willett had been convicted pre-
viously in the following cases: he
was fined Sal LOO for disturbing the
peace on an occasion when he WIS
in a disturbance with another
neighbor. He was fined S5l75 for
carrying a pistol on another oc-
casion and was fined Sl640 and
s1675 on two other occasions. In
this particular case, the Willetts
were fined as follows: Rev. M. D.
$4,000 and costs; Georgia, $40. and
costs. Eloise and Roosevelt were
both turned over to the juvenile
court for doCipline Il was also
brought out that Roosevelt was
sent 10 juvenile court previously
for disturbing the peace and petty
larceny on two separate accounts.
Boston Walden, charged by Rev
Willett with assault and battery.
had the charges dismissed BIZ the
Judge. All charges against the Bells
were also dismissed.
