exists in many metropolitan cent
ers above the Mason-Dixon line.
These were some Of the Com
missions discoveries when It ex-
amined housing conditions In Chi
cago (said to be one Of the worst
20 far a. breeding racial tensions),
New York and Pittsburgh as wen
as smaller urban communities.
First" the report asserts" q
considerable number Of Americans,
by reason Of their color or race,
are being denied equal opportunity
In housing. A large portion Of col
ored Americans are living in over
crowded slums or blighted areas In
restricted sections Of our cities,
with little or no access to new
housing or to suburban areas .
Housing thus seems to be the one
commodity in the American mar
ket that is not freely available on
equal terms to everyone who can
afford to pay A nation dedi-
Gated to respect for the human
dignity Of every individual should
not permit such conditions to con-
tinue.
Second, the housing disabilities
Of colored Americans are part Of q
national housing crisis involving q
general shortage Of low-cost hous-
ing From these facts 1t Il evi-
dent that for decent homes in good
neighborhoods to be available for
all Americans, two things must
happen: the housing shortage for
all lower income Americans must
be relieved, and equality Of oppor-
tunity to good housing must be
secured for colored Americans :"

Russell, Talmadge land some Of
the Northern bosses who secretly
work with the Di1iecrats) this IL
dangerous talk from the staff Of q
government agency. To other
Americans 1t may sound like COM
mon sense and offers a good argu-
ment for continuing the life Of the
Civil Rights Commission.
