from Hobbs, N. Mex.

Governor Pions To
Muke Stufemenf On
40 & 8 Membership

II was learned by this paper
Tuesday, right before press time
that Governor Orville Freeman
plans TO make a statement on the
report he was TO join or was in
itiated in "sbsentia" into the
American Legion affiliate, the 40
& s, the fun organization which
bars all non-whites from member
ship The statement will probably
be made next week
A spokesman for the Governor
told this newspaper that the gov
ernor is definitely not member
and indicated that he was not in
itiated in "absentia" as the daily
papers said he would be.
Apparently the governor plans
TO make a statement after discus
sing the matter with Minnesota
40 & 8 officials.
Many members of the Minnesota
30 & 8 are against the race ban
by their organization. Several
years ago a Minnesota delegation
made an attempt to obtain a
change in the bylaws OF the or
ganizaton at the national con-
vention to permit 40 & 8 units
to admit non-white American vets
to membership. Opposition from
southern units and mkewarmness
by some northern departments
killed the attempt.

for two years, he decided to stop
making steel and make homes for
Gary's ill-housed population.
Today. just a scant two blocks
from where he got off the train,
Andrew Means directs two corpor-
atoms which do combined business
of a million dollars yearly building
hundreds of homes here and in the
Chicago area.
Since Means built hts first
house for sale In the 500 block
OF West 25th Ave, In 1922, the
firms he heads have constructed
over 1000 homes.
Brick and frame houses built by
Andrew Means and his associates
spread across the city. There are
residences on the north side. There
are Means Model Community, F.
ID. Patterson Village and Booker
T. Washington Terrace apart
ments in the citys Midtown. There
is Means Park Manor near Roose-
welt high school and second
Manor going up in the shadow of
the new Lincoln school on 10th Av.
In the beginning the going
was rough for Means. He got his
start In business on 500 borrow.
ed from his wife. n borrowed
table and borrowed typewriter.
His first office was taxpayer
shack on sandy lot at 2l27
Washington street. In 1922 he
built four houses and made about
5000 lot of money in those
days. He had the ability to produce
the home and the market was ripe
for the homes, but money to fin
ance his projects was hard to get.
Bankers turned him down on the
theory that investing in Negro
homes was a risky business. The
Federal Housing Adminisu alton
rejected his applications too.
They always found something
wrong with Negro application to
borrow money to build a house"
Means recalls.
But Means fought to get what
he wanted. He complained to FILA
headquarters in Washington and
one day when a FILA Official was
visiting Gary he buttonholed him
and explained his problem.
The FILA official advised Means
to find a vacant lot and apply
again. Means secured the option TO
the old Gary circus grounds near
25th Av. and Jackson St, and a
loan to build Means Model Com
munity was approved.
That was all the Gary home
developer needed. His fame
spread and his homes sold faster
than he could build them.
