NAACP EXTENDS
DRIVE TOJUNE is

Adequate housing, public and
private, as well as G I loans
and mortgages were among the
topics discussed Tuesday night,
May 25, at a meeting presented
by the Housing Committee of
the NAACP at Zion Church. A
panel of experts in the houS-
ing field discussed different as
poets of housing, as it applied
to tenants, home owners, and
prospective buyers. Members of
the audience answers to spe-
Cif1c questions from the we'll
qualified panel members. Chair
man James Jones, stressed the
fact that the NAACP Office is
prepared to answer questions on
housing or will direct any in
terested persons to those who
will have the information they
seek.
Due to the impact on the
nation of the recent Supreme
Court decision, the NAACP is
extending its drive for mem
bership to June Is. The NAACP
must be prepared to continue
and extend it's drive against
segregation. Those of you who
have not yet had an opportu-
nifty to share in this vital work
are asked to become members
of the NAACP. Canvassers are
asked to redouble their efforts
in these last days of the cam
paign. They are also asked to
turn in any memberships on
hand, so that the bookkeeping
problems of the Office staff will
not pile up at the end of the
campaign.

Use Reason al Talks,
Wiley Urges Russia
BY me As.oeiossd Press

The Chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee has
called on Russia at the forth
coming Geneva conference "to
talk with reason. to propose
deeds instead of words. and to
meet the free world halfway"
If Soviet Premier Georgi
Malenkov gives such instruc-
tions to his representative at the
April 81 conference. said Senator
Wiley, Republican Of Wisconsin,
yesterday, the meeting may be
more productive than the recent
Berlin discussions.
I'VE are ready now as we have
always been to cooperate on be-
half of world peace" Wiley said.
But since the Soviet Union has
continued to build its armed
strength and to expand its power
by aggressive means, there has
been no alternative for the free
world but to meet the Russian
challenge by being ready and
able to cope with any emergency
that might arise"

There is wide lack of effective

quite apparent not only in the
charges and countercharges

their enunciation via the public

hearings. With such feelings
prevailing, it is obvious that
these agencies are not utilizing
