The letter. signed by William
II. Cratic, Min City branch presi-
dent and Midwest regional chair
man OF the NAACP, stated that
DIR. loves refusal to act on the
matter. numbered the program OF
the NAACP against discrimina-
ton and segregation in housing"
The NAACP's letter to DIR.
Lowe Is the second instance with
in the past few months that the
branch has expressed It's disap-
prevail OF Negroes who In their o.
pinion advocate or support segre-
cation by failing TO Use available
avenues To contest dLscrimina-
ton against them.
The Incidents that led up To tho
Min Citys branch action got
started when DIR. Lowe wrote 10
Minneapolis asking for assistance
to locate housing for himself and
wife.
An apartment was secured for
him near the University in the
Grayce apartments. sos Univer-
sity Ave. $. &c,
After he arrived In Minneapolis
he was given the keys to the a
partment and was prepared TO
move in when the president Of the
corporation which owns the apart
ment. Curtis Kingbay. told him he
was sorry but that the apartment
had been rented earlier To an
other person.
The matter was referred to the
legal redress committee OF the
NAACp for further action.
The legal redress committee
recommended that Dr. Lowe file
suit for breach of contract but
DIR. Lowe refused.
The NAACP was anxious 10
pursue this case for two reasons;
/. The NAACp Mt It's last ma
tional convention voted to put
ending discrimination In housing
In the number one spot on it's pro-
gram for the next year.
2. This particular case involved
FILA insured property and one Of
the requirements to secure FILA
mortgage insurance IL that the
mortgage agree not to discrim-
mate against tenant because Of
race, creed or color.
Benefactors Misrepresented Him
Or. Lowe told this paper that he
felt that the people who secured
the apartment for him misrcpre-
scented him by not telling the
manager OF the apartment that he
was Negro.
II was further learned that
there was nothing on the applica-
ton for mthat asked about race
as was there nothing that inquir-
ed about the applicants height,
weight religion, etc.
The doctor also said that ne
felt he was being used and that
he wasn't going TO fight the
housing problems for minorities
that existed In this area before he
got here

Iectual justification of nation
| aiism.
The Kikuyu tribe possesses one
of the most advanced and COM
plete civilizations in Africa and
has given valued leadership to the
cause of freedom in Africa. In
spite of the severe losses suffered
by the Mau Maus, this experience
has made the white man respect
the black man more than anything
else that has happened south Of
the Mediterranean Sea. This col
ony will remain and grow even
more important in the Negro's
quest for freedom.
Tanganyika portrays the lull
before the storm with her young
men trained in India providing
sorely-needed leadership and guild
ance. The Rhodesias, Northern and
Southern, and Nyasaland, are
stirred by strikes, industrial dis
putes and attacks. Nyasaland
should be free and self governing
for all practical purposes because
there are such few whites present
in the colony. The political ex-
pertinent in the Rhodesias as 10
federation Of all races in too
young to assess though some val
id doubts hang around.
South Africa with its policy
Of racial segregation is fraught
with danger. The United States
Supreme court decision against
segregation I'm schools has been
a blow to Malan and his cause.
More than anything else, the
Gold Coast is the most interest
ing development in Africa with
its African government. Govern
ment is being directed by Africans
though a few British administra-
tiers have been retained upon the
request of the leaders themselves.
The Belgians and Portuguese are
yet to show any real signs Of in
terest in local self-government
Given time their present policies
viii be attacked because basicaIly
they are wrong. The white man
raises the question about national
ism being sane, constructive, and
cooperative. Those are Of no pr
mary Importance. Whether or not
people are permitted to exercise
these inalienable God-given rights
of self-expression and rule is Of
much greater interest for an
swers to them hold the key 10
mans future.
Great Resources Await
Down through the years Africa
has been the scene of more eco
nomic exploitation than any other
continent Of the underdeveloped
world. AS part Of this scheme Of
exploitation. the African himself
has reaped less benefit than any
other colonial people. Great re-
sources await development in
Africa but unless these resources
and the process OF development
are directly related to the future
Of the black man there. little will
come OF such ventures.
The whole world can benefit

rule. Freedom VIII yield great fin

pairing to participate as the prin.
cipal actor in the most important
and exciting drama known to hu.
man history.
No longer does the white man
inquire into the existence OF such
spirit. It's existence is taken for
granted. His interest now centerl
in a strategy of delaying the in.
evitable as long as possible and
in the meantime, piling up as
many economic gains as can be
exploited from the underdeveloped
Africans.
The vast shortage of trained
leadership among Africans them
selves is the most formidable prob
lem and yet, given sufficient mo-
tivation, freedom can and will be
achieved in spite of all problems.
The absence of a basic sense of
relatedness across the whole con-
tinent is another important con-
Germ that must be faced and solv-
ed by Africans themselves. The
cultural history OF Africa fails
to reveal enough cohesion in the
past an contribute TO today's ur-
gent needs.
On the other hand, once peo-
pie become sufficiently interest
ed in accomplishing an essential
goal the problem of methodology
no longer remains unsurmount-
able. With all of Its many ad-
vantages IL took the "quit In
dia" movement more than 80
years under the eminent leader
ship Of Mahatma Gandhi to re-
suit In national independence.
CHANGING At A Struggle
1t is exceedingly encouraging to
observe that unrest characterizes
the total continent; not Just iso-
lated areas. The French are en-
broiled in one Of their toughest
struggles with Arabs in Tunisia.
The French premier, NJ. Mendes
France, recently flew south to Of
fer a form of home rule to Tunis-
ians. The ambition Of the French
to weld her colonies into a single
union with the metropolitan coun-
try is a sure block to any kind Of
real independence.
A hasty British withdrawal
from the Sudan formerly control
led by the British and Egyptians
saved her face from yet another
deaf of colonialism. Because of
the Importance OF the waters Of
the Nile, Egypt plans to dominate
her backward neighbor to the
south. The history Of Egypt's mis-
rule dates back seventy years
when tribesmen OF Sudan drove
the corrupt masters from their
soil Stin farther south national
lists are raIlying around the youth
full king Of Buganda who was ex-
lied by the British for "non-co-
operation"
Kenya has been the scene Of
the bloodiest struggle In mod

In The Free North:
By Lester Granger

New York.-Strange as it may
seem, visitors can often tell you
more about civil rights conditions
In your own state than those who
have lived there for q number Of
years. It's not so strange either,
because homestaters are apt to
take conditions for granted, pretty
much on the basis of their own
personal experiences. Those of
us who have lived in a city or
state for a long period have gen.
orally established fairly well-set
routnes of living and contact. We
have our favorite restaurants and
theaters; we forget that we fire.
quently chose them in the first
place because we felt most wei
come" there. When we want some
thing out OF the ordinary, or when
we want to make a protest over
not getting what we should have,
we know where to so to get help
or register our protest.
Not so with the visitor, who
comes in cold and raw--and fire.
quently finds conditions very cold
and very raw, indeed. When he is
recognized as a stranger and
dark of skin--some of the very
services which we home-staters
receive because the law says that
we must-are withheld with bra
zen effrontery. The proprietors
who practice such discrimination
do so for two reasons: the visitors
are assumed not to know their
rights; even when they do, they
are apt to leave home without 60
ing through the trouble of law
suit. ~
Take Pennsylvania,
Take Pennsylvania, for instance,
which is supposed to be pretty
civilized in the matter Of civil
rights. Pennsylvania's Governor
Fine makes fine (what a pun)
public statements on civil rights.
So does it's Senator Duff. Most
Philadelphians whom I know
would Indignantly resent any in
situation that theirs is a Jim
Crow state. But two young Mime
sotans of my acquaintanceship
could tell them the real facts of
life about the interior of that
state, in the vicinity Of Harris
burg.
Jerome Kaplan, who is secre-
tary to Minnesota's Commission
on the Aging and Thomas Talley,
who is executive of the st. Paul
Urban League, were travelling to-
gether by auto from Minnesota to
Atlantic City. They turned off the
Pennsylvania Turnpike at night
to find lodging in the vicinity of
Harrisburg. They were turned
down at the Hotel Harrisburg,
which is an AAA-approved motel
mo room" the clerk said, but
few minutes later, when Kaplan
called by phone, he was assured
that there were plenty of avail
able beds.
At several restaurants the trav-
elers were refused service, being
told at one You've had enough"
