The National Urban League has
Just held the most successful an
nual conference of its history. Hav-
ing registered approximately 1000
conferees, it experienced this year
the greatest proportion of board
and staff members and representa-
tives from the top levels of the ma
tion's economic structure.
The theme, Building Better HUI
man Relations Is Everybody's Busi-
ness" indicated that since the en-
tire community has been response
BILE for the creation of social prob
lens, the entire community in turn
is responsible for the solution of
these problems. "
The challenge of the conference
was outlined by members of the
National Urban League staff, and
included such facts as these:
/. The solution of the housing
problem of minorities is pressing,
since only 1 percent of the nine
million new homes are available TO
non-whites.
2. The Urban League must gear
its program to include the problems
of other minority groups who are
showing a greater interest in work.

ing along League lines.
4. The problem 25 years ago was
jobs for Negroes; the problem in
1852 is finding job which the
Negro is most qualified to fill. This
phase of the Urban League pro-
gram is closely associated with
FEPC progress which is the hottest
national issue today.
5. In it's area of Vocational Guild
ance, the League faces the respon-
sibility of lifting the horizon of
Negro workers, especially youth.
Many speakers offered their
thinking on the unanimous fields
of Urban League operation. Here
are some highlights:
Housing
The goal in the field of housing
is to secure a pattern of open Occu-
pancy and to stimulate the building
of private homes, financed more
and more with Negro capital, and
to stimulate the Federal Housing
Authority to deny the force of re-
strctive covenants through appli-
cation of it's principles.
Community Organization
The Urban League seeks to begin
at the level of thinking of the COM
munity and proceed as fast and as
far as the community will permit,
with the community itself willingly
accepting both the problems ard
the solutions proposed.
Health and Welfare
The Urban League movement
does not give sufficient attention
to increasing the services of social
agencies to all the people in the
community. Since public funds sup
port these agencies it is important
that this effort be broadened.
Analysis Of Regions
The League found that the west
is passing through a period which
the east experienced 80 or more
years ago. In general, the west is
quicker to learn the process of solv-
ing it's social problms than was the
east during their period. Vocation
al training, guidance, and educa-
ton are the great problems still

The presence of large numbers Of
other minority groups makes the
Negroes position more advantage
Gus in the west than was his posi-
ton in the east a few decades ago.
In the south tremendous indus
trial expansion is the order of the
day. There is a great movement
of people especially Negroes, from
rural to urban areas, from one Sec
ton of the south to another, and
from the south of northern and
western areas. The traditional at
titude of the south toward the en-
tire problem of race relations is
gradually changing. This change
is being brought about by two fac
tors, notably the labor unions and
the policy of northern industrialist
moving into the south.
Representing Phoenix at the
Conference was Alton w. Thomas,
executive secretary of the local
affiliate, who participated in many
