SearIes Cites Factors
In nRedeveIopine Areas
OF BIighted Homes

The question of whether to re-
|habilitate houses in blighted areas
was discussed last night by John
r. Searles, jr.. director of the
|Redevelopment Land Agency.
He spoke on the subject. with
several references to the South
west area. at a dinner meeting OF
the Potomac Chapter of the Amer
ican Society of Landscape Archi-
tects, held in the Dodge Hotel
His topic was THE Redevelop-
|ment Program in Washington"
BOrderline Cases.
Pointing to basic standards. Mr.
Searles brought out that many
houses may be in borderline
category. Such houses he ex-
planned. would be worthy OF
rehabilitation, if they represented
occasional domiciles among a ma
jority of houses in good condition.
On the other hand, he declared
if most of the houses in a blighted
area had fallen into decay. ii
wouldn't be economically feasible

to repair them to match the
worthiness of the few that were
still in good shape. In such case
he explained, it would be advisa-
bile to tear down the whole block
and start anew.
The whole matter now is under
study by his agency. Mr.. Searles
declared, and is having strong
effect on redevelopment planning

which has been designated Prof.

development.
Planning Opportunity.
MI. Searles emphasized that re-
development represents new op-
portunity in city planning, mas
much as it really gives chance
to carry out plans to a greater
extent than is offered in normal
city planning. Under redevelop-
Iment, he said, the land can be
purchased or sold. and a COM
Iplete new beginning made.
He urged closer cooperation be-
tween his agency and the Public
Housing Agency, especially in con-
nection with relocation of families
displaced through redevelopment
The meeting was presided over
by Stanley Abbott, head Of the

ments of its minority people is Americas
greatest shame, and it is not to be cor
rected by the snail-like gradualism recon-
mended by some of the so-called champions
of Negro freedom. A program such as that
proposed by the NAACP can, if carried out
correctly, set the proper tempo.
DR.. Ralph Bunehe has dashed out a.
gainst the 'bitter-enders' who stand in the
way of interracial amity and democratic
progress. DR.. Bunohe is a highly-profCent
and trained observer of world events. He
knows that the rotten-ness of race prejudice
is eating at the core of American prestige
in every corner of the world. He speaks FOR
America when he denounces those who
would make discrimination and racial hatred
our national trade mark.
1t is always later than we think when
it comes to matters of liberty and freedom
Nevertheless this may well be the fateful
hour for the NAACP to advance the cause
of freedom, not only for the minority peo-
pie, but for all Americans. We have been
preoccupied with testing in the courts GER
tain prohibtive and restrictive measures,
designed to meet the recurring challenged
to our form of government.
We seem to have forgotten that basic
to the welfare and security of America is
the welfare of the citizen. With close to
twenty million Negro Americans deprived

that are their due, it is only matter of
time before the government itself will be-
come less and less representative of the

The NAACP has committed itself to
difficult and important assignment. II has
undertaken to compel American democracy
to live up to its great promise. 1t is cour-

handing that the United States change its

Bearing in mind that in doing so we
will be challenging men who hold high places

The NAACP And The Future
BY ]. N. Lee

All of us who believe in the ultimate
realization of our democratic heritage have
been heartened by the fortnight declaration
on civil rights that came out of the recent
NAACP conference held in Atlanta Piedg-
ing to strike blow for civil rights where
ever a denial of these rights is evident, the
NAACP has succeeded in recapturlng the
interest and support it seemed to have been
losing the past year or two
The record of the NAACP is unmatched
by any of the several organizations active
on the civil rights front. More than any
other single factor, the NAACP has been
responsible for lifting some of the burden
of second class citizenship from the consel-
ence of America. Fighting against the ire
mendous odds of entrenched racial myths
and notions, and the indifference OF great
masses of the population whose support is
,oeded this organization has made itself
respected even in the camps of its enemies
Today, more than at any other time IN
the history of the Republic, there is need
for the kind of unrelentng and uncompro-
missing action pledged by the NAACP. We
have become nation of nervous and fright
ened people We are engulfed by vaporous
fear that is binding us to the truth. 1t is
a matter of record that we have surrender
ed some of our vigilance in order that we
might better guarantee our liberties.
We have allowed ourselves to believe
that the only enemy of our democratic way
of life is the one designated by the govern
ment. But the government has not seen fit
to point in the direction of those forces that
exist primarily to keep the Negro people
and other minority groups from enjoying the
full benefits of their citizenship
The governor of South Carolina is no
less an enemy of our democracy when he
threatens Gas he did to discard the public
school system in his state should the courts
decide that Negro children had the right to
attend the same schools as white children.
Responding to the philosophy of the gov
ernor, the North Carolina courts have de
creed that separate but equal facilities rath-
er than democratic equality of opportunity,
is to be practiced in No. Cardinals schools.
1t is such backward and damaging e.
vents which spotlight the weakness of our
country for all the world to see. The treat

One writer sees the south as being
transformed and moving progressively This
we may say is true of many southern states,
even in the Mississippi deltas. The state Of
which the writer speaks has made consider
able progress over great obstacles. The writ
er tells of the vanishing spectacular setting
which was typical of the old south. The
plunkng of banjos, spirituals ringing from
the fields and sacks of cotton being "toted'
down the road He futher explains what is
untypcal-that is in some respects----where
the mechanical symphony tells the story;
the chug-chug of the tractor the whine of
the self propelled combine, the clatter Of a
two row corn picker and the roar Of a
mechanical cotton harvester This, the writer
says, is opening the door wider to new
economic gains.
Another factor, states the writer, is
holding farm laborers, which can only be
done by improving the lot Of Negro share
troopers. The cotton chopper gets Sl.00 per
day for 10 hours work and the tractor
driver makes $500 per day. From this We
can see the present situation in old Dixie
still carries it's similarities Of yestoryc7rs.

As We See H.

One of the most appalling weaknesses
among Negroes is the fact that so many
have such little, if any, confidence in other
Negroes and the organizations which they
own and operate.
For instance, if Negro discovers that
another Negro has told him falsehood, he
quickly and gibly VOWS that all Negroes
are liars and you just cannot trust any of
them. He seems to forget, or fails to realize
that many of the members of the white race
have practiced base deception upon us, when
ever and where ever they can from 1919
until now
If a Negro pliers something from him
he doesn't hesitate to brand the entire race
as group of thieves, in whom you cannot
place any confidence. If this Negro, who
doesn't exercise any degree of reluctancy in
stigmatzing an entire race because of tn,
misdeeds of one or more. would take the
time to read any of the metropolitan news
papers he would quickly discover that more
crimes are committed among white people
in one month than are committed among Ne
groes in six months. Of you disagree with
the above assertion, check with j. Edgar
Hoover chief of the FBT. You might also
study the report of the Kefauver committee.
They have unearthed some astounding facts
pertaining to the connection of criminals
and their tie-ups with men in high positions).

are totally oblivious of the fact that more

exist than there are Negro companies in ex.
istance today.
If Negro bank goes TO the wall. we

pride in shouting from the house top that

People decended on Atlanta, capital of
the Deep South They met in the Deep
South for the first time since an earlier
convention in Atlanta in 1920. Thirty-one
years had made startling changes in both
the N. A. A. c. P. and Atlanta.
Unlike the earlier convention, which
had met quietly in a small church in the
city's Negro district, most of last weeks
sessions were held in the citys marble
front municipal auditorium. The Isl del
egates and their wives were officially well
coined by Mayor William B. Hartsfield,
who showed a spirit rare in Southern
offceholders by greeting them as "distin-
guiShed guests, ladies and gentlemen
NO TROUBLE The 1920 convention had
taken defensive stand by deploring
lynchings (65 that year, against in l95O)
and pleading for more civil rights Last
week such speakers as Author Lillian
Smith, DR.. Ralph Bunche and N.A.A.C.P.
Secretary Walter White, the son of an
Atlanta mailman, hammered away at the
conventions main theme: End Segrega-
ton Now! They had met in Atlanta to
dramatic their fight against segregation,
but, unlike Communist groups, did not
defy it in practice just to stir up trouble.
Only French Singer Josephine Baker tried
to get into one Of the city's first-class
hotels, and being refused stayed away

stayed at private homes or in dormtories
