Aquinsf Dime Store,

Columbus, Ohio (ANP) - Gov.
Michael v. Disable was irked be-
cause a group of Negroes picketed
dimestores in Cincinnati, thus by
passing the Ohio Civil Rights
Commission.
The Governor contended that the
state has machinery to handle
situations of this type and that
its facilities should be exhausted
before using other means.
A Cincinnati Negro leader said
that the Civil Rights Commission
had failed to act on the situation
in his city "all these years so we're
doing something about it."
The picketing of F. w. Wool
worth stores in Cincinnati started
Monday. 1t is sponsored by the
Cincinnati branch Of the National
Association for the Advancement

contends the stores hire Negroes
only for mental jobs.

Humphrey Urged
IKE" To Go
To Little Rock

Despite the political dynamite
inherent even today in any frank
and honest public discussion on the
race question, by any political
hopeful local or national Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey remains the
one candidate for the Presidential
nomination who doesn't hesitate to
give his views on the subject.
During the current sitdowns by
Negro students aided in some in
stances by white students in pro-
test against lunch counter discrim-
nation Humphrey has been the
only candidate that even dared
mention the subject.
When the governor Of Arkansas
used state troops to keep Negro
girls and boys from entering Cent
raj High school in Little Rock,
precipitating a situation which dis
graCed the US. all over the globe.
Senator Humphrey suggested that
President Eisenhower go to Little |
Rock, take one of the Negro stu
dents by his hand and walk with |
him into Central High school.
Humphrey said such a symbolic |
step would confound those who |
opposed the law Of the land" and |
place the White House firmly be-
hind the courts of the land and |
give encouragement to those law
abiding Little Rock citizens who
believed in upholding the Consti-
tuition.
Not another Senator, not a
single individual who is now can
didate for the Presidential nomin-
alton in either of the major par
ties dared comment on the Little |
Rock situation, despite the great |
harm it did to our international |
prestige The simple suggestion
which Senator Humphrey made to
Mr. Eisenhower If accepted and |
carried out would have probably |
made unnecessary the sending of |
federal soldiers to Little Rock to |
back up the federal courts.

addressograph plates for the entire

ing was Don Lewis of the St.

planning the Forthcoming National
Convention of the NAACP, gave

They succeed Governors O
and William G. Stratton of Illinois
who have served as Chairman and
Vice-Chairman respectively, during
the past year
These governors except for Del
Sesto, participated in the confer
ence, along with C. Mennen Will
liams of Michigan, Herschel Love-
less Of Iowa and Ralph Brooks Of
Nebraska. Governor Del Sesto was
represented at the conference by
Senator c. George De Stefano, min
ority leader of the Rhode Island
State Senate.
Nine other governors were rep
resented by top state officials.
The conferees urged vigorous ac-
ton against discrimination in
housing as the most critical civil
rights problem in the member
states. After discussing the prob
lem with representatives of the
us. Commission on Civil Rights,
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency, the Commission on Inter
group Relations of New York City,
the Commission on Race and Hous-
ing and the housing industry, they
declared that Housing is a field
of major Importance today, not
only because of it's vital relation
ship to law enforcement, public
health and all of the factors in
volved in building healthy COM
munities, but also because of the
growth and shifts in our popula-
ton. Our goal of equality of OPP
portunity in housing can be ap-
preached by: (a) enactment, en-
forcement and strengthening of
laws against discrimination to in
sure fair opportunity in housing,
and (b) an effective program of
public education, understanding
and community action in this field
"a program that would seek the
cooperation of the federal govern
ment, local governments, and priv
ate volunteer groups"
During the course of the hous-
ing discussion, DR.. George w.
Snowden noted that FILA has re-
Gently declared that equal oppor-
tunity in housing is now a basic
goal of the agency e, To this end,
four important policies have thus
far been developed. They are: .
the ban on restrictive covenants,
a pledge to promote open occupan-
cy projects, a pledge to dispose
of repossessed properties on a nom
discriminatory basis and a policy
of corporations with states and
cities having fair housing practice
laws"
In the latter connection, Berl I.
Bernhard pointed out that one of
the recommendations of the us.
Commission on Civil Rights is that
the FILA and VA should streng-
then their present agreements with
such states and cities by re-
quiring that builders subject to
these laws who desire mortgage
insurance agree in writing that
they will abide by such laws" In
support of this recommendation
he quoted from a California Judge
who recently said, when one dips
ones hand into the Federal Treas
ury, a little democracy necessarily
clings to whatever it withdraws."
August NJ. Strung, Vice Presi-
dent of the Bowery Savings Bank,
declared: Il take pride in repre-
senting the Bowery at this meet
ing, for it has never practiced
discrimination between Negro and
the paternal grandparents.
