The Mystery OF

The proposed Redevelopment Project for the North
section of Roanoke the greatest
of all times spite of the fact the pros and of
this redeveopment plan have been discussed from
freside to City Council chamber for the past two
years. it is yet shrouded with veil of mystery which
has baffled the whole city.
Whether the proponents of the redevelopment pro-
ject have ace card in the hole which they have not
yet shown remains to be We want to believe that
their sole aim is to further accelerate the Improvement OF
rapidly growing city. But when we went out and
made personal survey of the section designated for

the authorities had selected the section OF Northeast

Clearance Plan
Cites Hardships That Would
Result Ii Present Home Owners
Are Forced To Vacate Now

liS leSiCNSlOplIlefll I1OuS-
ing and Clearance Authority
ann the City Planning Com
mission both have publicly
admitted that the area men
toned as a Stun Clearance
project in Northeast Roam
oke is not the worst Slum
area in the City.
1t is further admitted by
the Redevelopment Housing
Authority that the proper
ties in this area are to be
bought at Stun prices, which
are the lowest prices, and
are to be sold back to the
people at higher prices after
being developed. Let no one
fool you that this is an Even
Exchange of properties;
someone is going to lose in
the exchange, and that some
one will be the Negro prop
erty owners.
The people of Northeast
are the lowest paid workers
of our City. They have work.
edhard for three generations
or more to acquire their
homes, such as they NAV
be, and to allow the law of
Eminent Domain or any
authority to displace them
just isn't right or just. The
average property owner in
Northeast is we'll over So
yrs. old and not in any DO
sitlon to assume notes or
indebtedness on a new home.
If Council and the people of
our City would consider
themselves their Brothers
Keeper, and try this par
ticular shoe on their foot
to see where it pinches, 81
am sure they would decide
against the project"
Next, I do not see the
expediency in having the
Federal Government to come
into our City and do any
thing for us that we can do
for ourselves, be we White
or Black. The people of
Northeast have m a de it
known to our City Govern
mental Officers that they
are willing and ready to
abide by the City Hygiene
and Health Ordinance, to
bring Sub-Standard homes
to Standard and sell the
City necessary real estate
to improve t n e highway
approaching the new bridge.
In concluding, [ am
against this proposal, main
ly for three REASONS:
!. 1t is not the worst Stun
area.
2. Someone stands to lose
in the exchange Of prop
critics, and that someone
is the Negro.
3. Last, but not least, the
people of Northeast do
not w ant the Federal
Government or any one
else to do for them the
the things they can do
for themselves.

Disarmament Talks
Plan Voted by U. n.
| Political Committee
By the Associated Pres.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Oct.
28.-The United Nations Political
Committee has unanimously ap-
proved a call for flve-power talks
on disarmament. The resolution
was supported by both Russia
and the West but diplomats
warned any real arms agree
ment was q long way off.
The vote came last night after
two weeks of debate on the arms
issue. It brought expressions OF
hope that the rare Soviet de-
cision to join with the West in
backing a common proposal
might indicate a new era of CO.
operation.
The air of satisfaction was
marred somewhat by Soviet Dele
gate Andrei Vishinsky's state
ment that the disarmament
talks might be doomed if the
West insisted on using Ameri-
can proposals as a basis for dis
cussion by the five powers.
Mr.. Vishinsky wants the Brit
ish-French proposal on which
his own disarmament plan is
based to serve as the foundation
for negotiations.
Three Main Points.
The committee approved reso-
luton. which is certain to pass
the general assembly, shas three
main points: @
l. It authorizes the q. N. Dis
armament Commission to place
the whole arms problem before
subcommittee consisting of
Russia, Britain, France, the
United States and Canada-the
five sponsors of the resolution.
2. It calls on the subcommit-
tee-which failed to reach any
agreement in a series of meet
ings in London last spring--to
make new efforts to agree on
regulation, limitation and major
reductions Of armed forces and
conventional ornaments.
8. It calls on the committee
to consider all arms proposals
within its terms Of reference.
Consider India's Proposal.
The Russians refused to CO.
sponsor the resolution until the
other powers agreed to delete
any reference to the American
plan which provides for strict
international supervision of dis
armament.
The Political Committee also

voted to turn over to the sub
committee India's proposal for
a standstill on atomic and hy-
drogen bomb production pending

agreement. Nationalist China
cast the sole dissenting vote on
this resolution. A similar de-
cision was made on an Aus
tralian proposal to have the u. N
secretariat report on the main
points of East-West arms dis
agreement. Both Russia and
France strongly opposed the Aus
tralian plan.
Representatives Of the five
sponsoring powers began ex-
changing views today on where
to hold the subcommittee ses-
sions. The French suggested
Paris. The British want London

political rather than military.
The fact that Wet Nam soldiers
show, a regrettable tendency to
desert seems to reflect the un-
popularity of the political cause
they have been called on to
defend.
4. The political situation is
critical. The French-Supported
regime of Emperor Bao Dali is
losing support rather than gain
ing it. Instead of serving as a
rallying point for different ma
tionalist groups within the coun-
try, the present government is
actually forcing these groups
into the enemy camp in increas-
ing numbers. When the choice
is between Ho Chi Mini on one
side and Bao Dali and France
on the other, the Communists
win.
There is substantial agreement
