Citizens Organize
To Stop "Ponie"
Selling Of Homes

Teaneck. ~ LAMP Ne
gro and white families In Teaneck
have organized in an effort to
stop panic selling by whites be-
cause Of the influx of Negro resi-
dents.
More than 30 families have
signed an agreement not to sell
and mot for sale" signs have ap-
peared In increasing numbers on
more and more houses.
Negroes began moving into the
area two years ago from adjoin-
ing Englewood and thus far 81
families have taken up residence
in Teaneck.
The organized campaign TO
stop panic selling began several
weeks ago. Only so families re-
fused TO sign the agreement and
some Of these have put up "for
sale" signs. Others have taken
no stand.
The panic was created by real
estate dealers who went to white
residents in the area and urged
them to sell while the selling Is
good"
Many white families became
angry at the shoddy tactics and
began holding block meetings to
crush rumors that property val
ucs would decrease because OF
Negroes In the neighborhood.
Help was received from the
Englewood Urban League, Mrs.
Nida Thomas, league executive
secretary, stated.
I'VE want TO see an integrated
neighborhood. We do not want to
see new all-Negro segregated
area and we believe that property
values will remain high and I'M
affected II white and Negro
families now living here can be-
come fully integrated.
The block meetings we're called
by white families ito talk things
over and TO combat the sell while
the selling Is good" propaganda.
The campaign was climaxed by
the organization Of the TeaneclS
Civic conference, which is open
to both white and Negro families,
Fred Link. chairman of the
conference. said the prime OBJ
iective Is Indignation OF white and
Negro families. He stated he does
not expect 100 per cent coopera-
ton but feels that much good can
be done.
The conference will coordinate
detectives and activities OF neigh
borhood groups and will show
home owners that property values
In the area, which range from
$4,000 to $4,000, do not decrease
because of indignation.
The conference has outlined a
program to plan activities so that
Negro and white families can be-
come integrated; to trace down
rumors and bring the truth TO
light; to prevent apathy and keep
the press informed and to con-
vince ethical real estate men that
the area Is stable.

National Guard units are the

not the case in all States. Many.
perhaps most Of our National

Minnesota are pleased that our
own National Guard Is 80 inte-

II am well aware OF the argu-
ment that the National Guard Is
in reality a state program and
that the Federal Government
should not interfere with It's OPP
GRAFTON. This States right argu-
ment, however, Is not in the least
persuasive 10 me in view OF the
fact that we are now passing a
national bill affecting the Ma

fact. furthermore, that the Ma
tional Guard today receives about
double the Federal funds given to
the existing Reserve program.
am told that about yf37 million
was appropriated by tho Federal
Government for the National
Guard In 1865.
In concluding this statement
desire TO make one final comment
with regard 10 the statement OF
the President that an anti-segre-
cation amendment TO this Reserve
bill ID not a germane amendment
Let me say first that II ill-be-
hoovcs the President who has him
self not proposed any civil-rights
legislation TO the Congress- to
pointedly and vigorously criticize
those who offer amendments in
order TO allow the Congress to ex-

that the President has II within

II respectfully call upon the

the people. TO end segregation and
discrimination In all areas OF the
Armed Forces. including the Re,
