The situation of the African

the whole problem.
But it's perfectly plain that

new attitudes result from the

This is the argument offered

The significance of tn e
Washington area housing dis
crimination hearings Just end

months from now. when a re-
port is made by the United

Rights.
The presidentially-appointed
group conducted two days of
hearings on the housing pic
ture, hearing 33 witnesses from
among more than hundred it
interviewed.
To those who have watched
the tug and haul. pressures and
politics involved in the housing
problem. especially as it affects
the Negro in Washington, these
appeared to be among the prin-
cipal points:
l. An official agency of the
United States Government has
interested itself in the plight
Of the Negro looking for a home
in the District.
While Government agencies.
such as the Federal Housing
Administration. Veterans Ad-
ministration and others have
been operating in supplying
housing to those who can pay
for it. they have been officially
challenged on whether they are
tending to their job on a basis
OF equality for all.
Tell Their Story
2. AS an expert pointed out,
a great number of people in the
District, Negro and white. have
had a forum at which they
could tell their story"
3. Some measure CT the size
Of the problem of the accept
ance of Negroes as neighbors
was portrayed. The problem,
according to one spokesman
is greater than that involved
in equal treatment on jobs and
equal educational opportunity
4. Solutions were suggested
These ranged from letting time
education. and conscience work
the problem out, to enforce
ment of equal housing oppor-
tunity by law at the National
and local level. But little OF
nothing was said on how the
law would operate.

Harry Golden Says:
Centennial Humpered
By AWareness Of
Negro Buying Power

An awareness Of Negro buying
power in the community has put
the damper on some local Civil
War Centennial observances, Har-
ry Golden reported today.
In a Saturday Evening Post
article entitled Let's End the
Civil War" the widely quoted edi-
tor of The Carolina Israelite and
author Of two best-selling books
warns that refighting yesterdays
battles will never solve today's
problems.
mo centennial committeeman,
no matter how skillfully he ties his
bowstring, is completely unaware
of what is going on in the business
district of his hometown" Golden
declares.
He doesn't even have to work
behind a store counter to know
that, in the states of the old Con-
federacy, at least one third of all
the purchasing power and one half
of all the credit buying comes
from the pockets of grandchildren
and great-grandchildren of the Ne
gro slaves.
That realization is Why the
centennial is something less than
a huge success in the big Southern
cities"
Golden concludes with the COM
ment that THE time has come to
end the Civil War because we are
one country with one economy.
I'VE cannot take time out from
industrial and urban problems of
unemployment, housing, schooling
and civil rights to indulge our
selves in silly excess, celebrating a
time that no longer is-and never
was"

Stroller Scores On New Disk
Chicago (ANP) - For an ex-
tended period alto saxophone vir-
tuoso Frank Stroller was a big
favorite with Chicago jazz fans
while he was gigging with the
NIT plus 3 group at the Avenue
Lounge, a popular Windy City"
jass spot. But since the demise Of
the quintet, Stroller has branched
out on his own, and made good.
His latest LIP for the LAKELAND
Record Company is ample evidence
Of his success as a jazz leader.
The disk showcases his talents both
as a player and composer. Titled
Long Night" it features Stroller
and five capable sidemen playing
number of ballads and instru-
mental tunes that include the title
tune; Happiness Is Just a Thing
Called Joe," from the old movie
score, Cabin In The Sky" THE
Crystal Ball." "Pacemaker," and
Just Think It Over" among
others.
With Stroller on the set are
George Coleman, on tenor saxo-
phone; Pat Patrick, baritone saxo-
phone and flute; Chris Anderson,
piano; Bill Lee, bass; and Walter
Perkins, who led the NUT plus 3
when Frank was a member of that
group, on drums. The tunes they
played were all arranged or COM
posed by Stroller.
Summary: This is a delightful
recording of tuneful music played,
for the most part, in a warm, and
romantic vein Stroller, of
course, sets the tempo and the
mood with his solos and clever i'm
