Issue On Jim crow

NEW YORK-ln his first pub

Speaking to delegates attend

man said he found in his travels
that the question of discrimina-

back" in our relations with for
eign countries.
People in India" he assert
ed, don't understand how il is
that we are a country that has
been held out TO them over the
years as being a great country,

Of equal opportunity, but still
has discrimination"
The former New York Cover
nor spoke at the conclusion of
d workshop session on The
NAACP and American Public
Opinion. He expressed regret
that President Eisenhower had
not long ago made il plain that
he was interested in the end of
segregation in schools not only
because the law requires it, for
laws may be changed. but also
because of the moral issue in
volved."

hailing what he called "a his

Division that gave the state anti

to hear complaints of racial bias
at the two housing projects.
In a unanimous opinion issued
Wednesday in Trenton, Justices
Foley, Price and Sullivan of the
Appellate Division held that the
two projects must be considered
publicly assisted housing" be-
cause of their dependence on
mortgage guarantees by the Fed
eral Housing Administration. AS
publicly assisted housing" the
court ruled, both developments
fall under the jurisdiction of
the Division Against Discrimina-
ton of the State Department of

The court rcmanded charges
of racial discrimination against
the two projects TO the Division
Against Discrimination for a
hearing.
