TUSKEGEaE, Ala, July -
Don't You Let Nobody Turn
You Around" a Soul-Stirring,
spirited spiritual with a great
message and a pulsatingly rhyth-
mic beat emerged spontaneous
ly from the very depths of the
inspired and determined gather
ing of more than $500 Tuskegee
Negroes and scores of out-of-
town visitors tonight at the his
toric Washington Chapel AME
Church. This song accurately
reflected the unfolding spirit
and mood of the second weekly
mass meeting of the TuSkegee
Civic Association, which is lead
ing the Negroes in this FREEDOM
inantly Negro area in a Crusade
for Citizenship.
The Crusade began FIRMLY
last week as reaction to the
unanimous passing in bot h
houses of the Alabama Legis-
lature of State Senator Sam
Engelhardt's bill to gerrymander
all bdt 10 voting Negroes out
of the city limits of Tuskegee
and not a single one of the 600
white voters. (Engelhardt is also
secretary of the Alabama ASSO-
citation of (White) Citizens
Councils.) The Crusade has as
it's immediate aims Cd hating
the enactment of the city limits
bill, 60 getting a functioning
board of registrars which will
register all qualified citizens,
and 60 stimulating a greater
interest among local Negroes in
their plight. The protest move
ment expresses itself presently
by better than 90 per cent re-
fusal of the Tuskegee Negroes
to do business with some 40 local
white merchants. Already three
businesses including the Macon
theater (the only motion picture
theater in town, a dry goods
store, and a novelty shop have
closed their doors; and several
others are tottering. All the
larger establishments have re-
leased a large portion of their
help. The end of this trend is
nowhere in sight, for, most OF
the Negroes here are employed
at privately endowed TuSkegee
Institute and the Federally sup
ported Veterans Administration
hospital and receive about 80
per cent of the areas $12 mil
lion annual payroll. In the mean
time Engelhardt's bill still awaits
action by Governor James E.
Folsom.
On my arrival at the church
around $50 the gathering
throng had filled every inch OF
space inside the church, and by
the time the meeting got under
way at 1880, it had filled the
areas in front of and on the
sides of the church extending
as far as the audible reach OF
the public address system.
The atmosphere of tonlght'S
meeting was as serious and bus1-
ness-like as that of week ago.

Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank
Reports On Hard to Get - FEIA
and III Mortgages in Today's
Money Market"

Why are FHA and VA mortgages
hard to get? The Federal Reserve
Bank of Philadelphia explores the
answer in the July issue of the
Business Review.
While other rates have been ris-
ing, the Bank points out rates on
FHA and VA mortgages have
changed only once in the last four
years. AS other investments have
grown more attractive, lenders
have drifted away from the rela-
lively low-yielding, Government
guaranteed or insured mortgages.
Yet a substantial, though re-
duced, number of houses has been
started with Government backing
in 1857. Discounts are probably re-
sponsible, says the article. They
increase the actual yield on FILA
and VA mortgages without rails
ing the nominal rate But they don't
really solve the problem because it
is difficult to get buyers and or
sellers of houses to pay the dis
count
Both mortgage programs began in

time of crises-the FILA in she de-.
pression; the VA in World War III.
They didn't make the Government
lender, the Bank explains, but
were designed to stimulate the
flow of mortgage money from pri-.
vate sources. They did this by re-
ducing lenders risks and making
borrowing easier.
There is no lack of suggestions
on what to do about the FILA and.
VA, says the Bank. They range,
from leaving things as they are to
abandoning both programs. Ilt be-
tween lies a large number of re-,
medal plans; raise interest rates,
lower down payments, use National
Service Life Insurance reserves,
ETC., and, finally. one fraction adj.
vocates pumping more money into
the economy.
None of the proposals offers a
perfect solution, the article sum-
marizes-all have their pros and
cons. They attack the problem in
different ways and promise diff
erent results.
