House on Dec. II. There Is real
fear" the NAACP leader asserts,
that unless the executive order
lis issued at this time, it may not
be issued"
The President, he says. has
demonstrated his allegiance to the
Bethlehem truth that there must
be room at the inn"
The complete text Of Mr.. VIII
ldns' telegram to the President
follows:
Grave concern and considerable
Isltepticism and soEHe resentment
have arisen across the country
since the November II announce
ment that an agreed-upon draft
was ready of an order prohibiting
racial discrimination In federally
assisted housing.
There is real fear that unless
it is issued at this time it may not
be issued. The millions whose high
hopes were encouraged by the
clear commitment Of the admins
tration feel that the redemption of
1860 promise should not rest
upon anticipated developments in
1862.
If the holiday cannot be COM
pletely merry for all Of us because
of the threats to peace it can be
made an occasion for deeply-felt
thanks and quiet joy on the part Of
a substantial segment Of the popul-
alton by an action of a President

ance to the Bethlehem truth that
