'iyiI Riqhfs Commission To Meet April 1914

Washington, D. C. = The U. S.
Commission on Civil Rights will
hold a public hearing April IL and
Is at the State Department Main
Auditorium to examine equality
of housing opportunity in the Wash
ingtOn area.
Berl l. Bernhard, Commission
Staff Director, listed several fact
Ors which led to the Commission S
decision to hold hearings in Wash
ington.
First and most Importantly,
Washington, D. c. is the Nation S
Capitol, and, in sense, the Capt.
tol of the Free World" he said.
The achievement of true equality
of opportunity is perhaps a more
urgent matter here than in any
other city in the country" In ad-
dition, Mr.. Bernhard noted that
the District of Columbia is city
in which Negroes and other minor
ity groups constitute large pro-
portion of the population. He also
noted that the suburbs surround
ing the District of Columbia are
not merely separate political SUBJ
divisions but lie in separate States,
complicating the problems of the
District.
Meanwhile, Walter N. Tobriner,
President of the District Com
missioners, announced his support
and cooperation for the Commits
Sion's hearing. 1.-The status of civil
rights in Washington" comment
ed Mr.. Tobriner. is a major con-
Germ of the nation as whole as
well as the citizens of the District.
While our problems are not unique,
they will never be resolved if
ignored. welcome the public hear
ing to be held by the Civil Rights
Commission. Mr.. Tobriner con-
tinued, lin the belief that a full
development of the facts about the
status of equal housing opportuni-
ty may point the way to improved
understanding and thus to the re-
solution of whatever problems may
exist. The U. S. Commission has
my pledge of complete coopera-
tion and support in conducting this
hearing.
The forthcoming hearing is the
the D. C. area. Other hearings
have been held in New York, Chi
cago, Detroit, Atlanta, Montgo-
merry, New Orleans, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, and Phoenix. These
hearings reviewed discriminatory
practices in voting, employment,
housing, public education and the
administration of justice.
''The Washington hearing will
be confined to the problems of
housing discrimination" Staff Di-
rector Bernhard stated.
The Commission, an independ-
ent bipartisan fact-finding agency,
was established by Congress In
1857 with the following statutory
duties:
% To investigate complaints re-
garding deprivationS of the right
to vote;
(2) To study and collect infOr-
nation concerning legal develop
ments constituting a denial of eq-
ual protection of the laws under
the Constitution; and

culture today announced that
the signup period for l962-crOp
corn and grain sorghum under
the 1862 wheat sterilization and
feed grain programs will begin
February 5 and run through
March 80.
Under these programs, farm
ers are able to help bring pro-
duction into line with needs
through diverting wheat and
feed grain acreage to conserv-
ing uses. Fall-seeded wheat and
barley acreage was signed up
under the two programs during
a signup peroid which ended Dec.
IL.
USDA officials, pointed out that
the earlier signup date will
give farmers and farm servicing
industries an opportunity to make
l.early plans for the coming crop
year.
The provisions Of the 1862 feed
grain program are generally the
same as thos for 1861. Main
points are as follows:
|. Voluntary participation.
2 Acreage diversion. Not less
than 20 percent of the base
acreage C1959-60 average as ad-
justed can be signed up. Ad-
ditional acreages can be divert
ed
3. Payments "in-kind" based
on yields and support prices
will be made on acreage divert
ed from feed grains to soil con-
serving uses.
4. Advance payments.
5. Price support for coopera-
tors on the normal production Of

Levels of support will be an

c lance checks will be
made in an area when SubStan-
TALLY all of the particular grain
has been planted. Compliance
checks are now being made on
the fall-seeded crop acreage sign
ed up under the programs.
USDA officials stated that
substantial Roadway has been
made toward achieving a more
realistic relationship between
supplies and needs in the import
ant grain sector of agriculture.
Under the 1861 feed grain pro-
gram, production of feed grains
was brought below utilization in
1861 for the first time since
1852. even though crop condi-
tons were excellent.
