Senate Group Defers Voting
On Mrs. Luce's Nomination

The Senate Foreign Rela-
lions Committee has delayed
until next week a vote on
whether to recommend approx
al Of Mrs. Glare Boothe Luce
as Ambassador to Brazil.
Delay on the vote. which had
been expected yesterday, was
ordered so committee members
not present could read a record
Of the hearing. The commit
tee may meet again Tuesday.
Mrs. Luce was questioned
yesterday about a political at
tack she made on the late Pres
ident Franklin d. Roosevelt.
She said her language was
very Incorporate" when she
charged in a 1914 speech that
Mr.. Roosevelt "lied us into
war;" but said she still thinks
Mr.. Roosevelt should have told
the Nation 1t was marching
toward war" against the Nazis.
Committee Chairman Full
bright also brought up a 1852
speech by Mrs. Luce which he
said left the implication former
President Truman was "a
traitor" The former Repub-
lican Congresswoman from
Connecticut said she intended
no such implication and never
said such a thing about Mr..
Truman.
Morse Is Hostile
Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon, told a reporter after
the hearing, II don's intend to
vote to seny anyone as an AM
bassador to Brazil who made
such an indefenSible state
ment" about Mr.. Roosevelt.
But Assistant Senate Demo-
cratic Leader Mansfield said he
thought she already is assured
of committee approval. AS for
her political attack on Mr..
Roosevelt, Senator Mansfield
said II guess we all have said
things in campaigns that we
wished later we hadn't said"
He said he was supporting her
on her record as Ambassador
to Italy.
Senator Fulbright recalled
that in 1914 Mrs. Luce. said
Mr.. Roosevelt was 1.-The only
American President that ever
lied us into war"
Calling that statement
"highly subversive," Senator
Morse told the 56-year -old Mrs.
Luce he couldn't vote to con-
firm her unless she offered
documentary proof to back
it up.
Quizzed on so Talk
Senator Fulbright then men,
toned a speech Mrs. Luce de-
livered during the 1852 presi-
Dental campaign. In that one.
he said, she referred to mortal
enemies" who had penetrated

School Aid Bill
Approved by
House Group

A $4.4 billion, four-year pro-
gram Of Federal aid for school
construction and teachers pay
was approved today by a House
Education subcommittee.
Republicans promptly said
1t was unacceptable to the
On Az. straight party vote
the subcommittee. headed by
Representative Bailey, Demo-
crat Of West Virginia, reported
out q bill considerably revised
from the original version which
had proposed an $1l.5 billion
four-year Arrangement.
Mr.. Bailey said he would
submit the subcommittee
Recommendations to the full
|committee next Thursday. He
added that he would not pre-
dict its chances irf the House
'until / see what the full COM
mittee does to It,"
Hurdles Ahead
School aid bills of this kind
have run into trouble in recent
years both in the full COM
mittee and in the House. Com
mittee Chairman Barden has
lbeen a powerful opponent OF
such legislation.
Moreover, Representative
Powell. Democrat Of New York,
has said that he again will
press for an amendment bar
ring funds to areas practicing
racial segregation.
The principal Republican OBJ
jections. as outlined today by
Representative Frelinghuysen
of New Jersey, a subcommittee
member, center on provisions
that would authorize Federal
grants to States for teachers
pay as well as construction of
school buildings.
Another objection, Mr.. FIRE.
linghuysen said, is that the bill
would authorize Federal grants
mainly on the basis of school,
age population instead Of
demonstrated need by school
districts.

Leaders In Housing
Fight Confer With
Governor Freeman

A conference between some of
the leaders in the drive to obtain
open Occupancy" legislation at
this session of the legislature con-
ferred Feb. Is with Governor Or
vile Freeman and two members
of the legislature who have been
active in the fair housing field
Participating in the conference
were state Representative Sally
Luther of Minneapolis, state Sen
ator Don Fraser of Minneapolis
Rev Denzil Carly chairman of
the Minnesota Council on Human
and Civil Rights, Cecil Newman
and William Cratic members of
the Council board, Leonard Carter,
president of the st. Paul NAACP;
Louis Erwin of the Minneapolis
Mayors Council on Human Rela,
tons and Robert Williams of the
Minneapolis Urban League.
The Minnesota Council seeks a
strong bill which would cover a
majority of housing discrimination
cases. Some members of the legis,
lature who previously backed the
"Open Occupancy" measure fee
that the so-called interim commits
sion bill is the only bill which they
can support as authors.
The Council representatives hav,
commended that the community
minorities who suffer most undeI
unfair housing practices and dis
elimination want legislation stronl
enough to make discrimination I'm
palatable to those who practice il
While it is possible that NOR
Than one bill may be introduce,
in the legislature, it is also posi-
bic that the two opposing view
points may become reconciled on ,
compromise proposal.
However one council leader sale
the group has already trimmed it
proposals to the minimum.
Governor Freeman was the first
public official to call attention t
the housing affecting hundreds o.
minority group members becaus,
of the highway and freeway con
struction.
He urged a Labor Institute or
Human Relations three years ago
to work for legislation which
would relieve the discrimination
against members of minority
groups in the housing field.

Mr.. Howard has served as Presi-
dent of the Rondo-St. Anthony
Highway Organization since its
formation in January 1856.
Mrs. Merle Young, mother-to-be
He has given tremendous lead
ership to this group of people
whose homes were in the path
of the impending Freeway. Among
many efforts he has done the fol-
lowing: Secured agreement that
Rondo-St. Anthony property be
purchased as an initial State pro-
ject to help his group sell be-
fore further deterioration set in;
worked with the organization
lawyer to secure highest awards
on record; worked with form
er city Engineer George Shep-
ard and other community leaders
to assure depression of the pending

well Jr, as an assistant county
attorney.
Such appointments indicate the
growing participation Of the Min
nesota Negro in political life of
the state as a individual benefic-
larry as well as a voter.
The presence of a member of
the Negro group on the bench as
a judge of a court where thousands
of people appear before him each
year is excellent public relations
for the Negro people as a whole.
Such presence is an immediate
answer to the stereotyped concep-
ton of the Negro citizen which
still permeates the minds of many
of his white fellow citizens even
in Minnesota.
The impact of the school deseg-
regation problem while receiving
its greatest test in the South
still affects public attitudes even
in a state as far removed from
the conflict as Minnesota.
In Minnesota and other northern
states where local laws do not
permit segregation by race in the
schools, there are manifestations
of the segregated pattern because
of the rise of racial ghettoes in
the North. This has caused a re-
examination of the housing situa-
ton here in Minnesota as it affects
racial relations.
Ten years ago when we first
issued a Negro Progress edition
employment was the greatest and
gravest problem facing the Negro
community. Today, housing in an
open and unrestricted market is
the most important issue facing
the state.
Negroes, Minnesota Negroes,
are restricted from participation
In a free and open housing mar
ket when they seek to purchase
property, not by law but by I'M
written agreements and under
standings chiefly by those en-
gagged In the real estate bus
mess.
Not all Of the real estate firms
subscribe or agree to such prac-
tees, but generally it is the rule
of most real estate statesmen, in
GLIDING those who belong to the
Board Of Realtors not to show a
Negro prospect many Of the
homes listed by them no matter
what his economic, educational OF
social background.
Builders of new subdivisions
within the city limits and in the
suburbs do not take the trouble to
hide the fact that such property
is not for sale to Negroes, some
times Jews, and Of course Indians
There are plenty Of nice apart
ments available for white persons
no matter what their position in
life but Elgin Baylor, the Mime
apolis Lakers basketball star had
to move to st. Paul to find accom-.
