Jewish War Plot Story
Inaccurate, Grant Says

national executive director Of
the Jewish War Veterans, Gen.
Grant admitted that, in his
own subsequent investigation,
he found several allegations
and implications that are un-
supported by sound historical
authorities and so are probably
false"
Mr.. Barr has worked with
the grandson of the Union
general in connection with the
National Civil War Centennial
Commission, which Gen. Graf
heads. The Jewish War Vet
eran group was formed in the
last century by Civil War vet
Grams.
The general wrote that he
would not have distributed the
article if he had suspected it
was false. He added he will give
a report on the episode at the
annual membership meeting Of
the legion October 8.
For his part, Mr.. Barr said.
he considers the whole incident
closed.

WOMAN RECEIVERS
WEDDING RING
LOST n YEARS

TOLEDO. Ohio (AP).-
Mrs. Mary Thomas has re-
covered her wedding ring
~ years after she lost it.
Mrs. Thomas lost the
ring on a farm near New
Bavaria, nearly so miles
southwest of here, where
she lived for several years.
Two years ago, Erford
Oedy, who now lives on the
farm, turned up a wedding
ring while blowing.
The story of the ring
eventually got to Napoleon,
a dozen miles north, where
Mrs. Thomas sister-in-law,
Mrs. Beatrice Thomas,
lives.
Last Sunday, Mrs.
Thomas drove to the Oedy
home and picked up her
ring.

pared with $5,5l7 for that Of
the average white renter.
Large numbers Of poor
whites have moved from the
South to Chicago and face SER
ious problems Of housing and
social adjustment" the report
said. Recent migrants occupy
substandard units twice as
often in Chicago as do persons
who have lived in the city for
two years or more"
Chicago was cited as "a
classic example of the kind OF
solid Negro concentration in
overcrowding central Stun
areas that gives rise to the
description ghetto. It. was
estimated that "A per cent OF
the Negroes live in seven Of the
citv's rs neighborhood areas.
There is also an increasing
proportion Of Negro occupants
in low-rent public housing, and
the Chicago Housing Authority
was reported planning addi-
tional projects in predominant
ly Negro neiehborhoods.
See Pattern Strengthened
This will not only increase
the overall percentage of Negro
occupancy but will contribute
to maintaining the black belt
and reinforcing the historical
city pattern Of racially seq
regated residence" the report
said.
THE effect Of this site selec-
ton policy is discrimination
against low-income white fam
lilies. who could not be expected
to flock to projects in all-Negro
neighborhoods.
Apparently the Chicago
Housing Authority has no in
tention of trying to break this
pattern by selecting more sites
in white neighborhoods
this indicates that public hous-
ing in Chicago will increasingly
become a program for Negro
housing"

core into new segregated areas
adjacent to It,"
Further, the report said,
The Negro concentration in
Chicago and elsewhere appears
to be increasing with few If
any signs Of gradual dispersal
throughout the community"
an Chicago. save for a very
few spots Of uncertain future,
the only areas Of interracial
living are the so-called transit
ton areas that seem destined
to become all-Negro," 1t added.
U. S.-Wide Housing Problem
The commission said its
study Of denial of equal pro-
lection of the law in housing
showed there is a general crisis
in housing vexing the whole
country.
1t held hearings in New York,
Atlanta and Chicago. 1t found
that slums and blighted areas
are plaguing each city studied.
regardless Of race, color, re-
ligion or national origin of the
inhabitants.
It was found that the spread
to suburban living has not been
as general among Negroes as
among whites.
In Chicago, for example, the
proportion Of Negroes in the
metropolitan area who lived
outside the city increased only
from about IA per cent in 1900
to a little over is per cent in
1857. In the same period the
proportion of the areas whites
living outside the city increased
from under 10 per cent to As
per cent.
It was concluded that. in
part. the special housing prob
lem of minorities is caused by
their economic, social and cul-
tural disability.
In 1857. the average family
income OF non-white renters
in Chicago was $3.947. COM

Senate Drops
Free Ride Ban
By the Associated Press

The Senate has voted tc
drop from a Great Lakes ship
ping bill a ban on Government
officials accepting free rides OF
reduced fares on American
ships.
The prohibition was written
into the bill when the Senate
first passed 1t but was deleted
by a Senate House conference
committee. Over the protest Of
Senator Williams. Republican
Of Delaware, the original spon-
sor, the Senate yesterday voted
1894, to accept the action Of
the conferees.
Senator williams said men,
bers of Congress who determine
the amount of subsidies received
by the American Merchant Ma
rine should not put themselves
in a position Of accepting OF
being offered free rides.
The ban would have applied
to all United States Govern
ment officials and employees and
members Of their immediate
families. Senator williams has
been making a futile effort fol
several years to get it adopted
The conferees said the pro.
vision was extremely broad
and complicated in Its scope
and should be considered al
separate legislation.
The rest Of the bill was moi
in controversy. 1t provides that
ships purchased from the Gov
eminent exclusively for use on
the Great Lakes may also be
used on ocean routes.
The Senate vote accepting the
conference report sent the bill
back to the House for final
action.

At the same time total en-
ployment. which includes per-
sons on strike as employed
