The District Commissioners
said today that racial dis

However, they said they will
defer action in view of the fact.

ton tomorrow.
Walter N. Tobriner, presi-
dent Of the District Board of
Commissioners, said that "the
deferment will not be indefi-
mite but is designed to give
Congress an opportunity to
legislate In this field, if it so
desires"
He said the Commissioners
would not present any proposed
regulation for consideration at

tee hearing.
Report Released
The position Of the Commits

The report, in addition to
giving the Commissioners con-

presented at public hearings

on the need for an anti-dis-

presents a statistical analysis
Of certain aspects of the prob

are:
Il. That discrimination on

tons exists and is practiced
individually and collectively by
real estate dealers, owners.

20. That housing available
to Negroes reflects erowding

as that available to white
persons.
%. That there is q clear re-
lationship between poor hous-
ing conditions and the health
and comfort Of the occupants

tons also constitute a danger
to the property Of both whites
and Negroes.
Dangers Listed
q. That discrimination In

g. That discontinuance of

For Incident

MOSCOW, Mar. 81 (AP).-
In a strong protest, the Soviet
Union today held the United
States responsible for the at
tack on the Russian freighter
Lgov by Cuban exiles March II
off the north coast of Cuba.
The note asserted that with
out material support from the
United States government and
without the supply Of American
arms and vessels the group of
traitors to the Cuban people
now hiding on United States
territory could not engage in
this kind of provocation."
The United States Govern
ment, the note continued, lis
virtually leading up to a
dangerous aggravation of the
situation in the Caribbean and
throughout the world"
THE Soviet government" the
note said, holds the United
States Government fully re-
sponsible for the actions Of the
Cuban ounter-revolutionaries
including their attack on the
Soviet merchant vessel Lgov.
For the United States Of
America to encourage such
actions is contrary to the agree
ment reached between the gov
ernments Of the USSR and
the United States Of America
on the settlement of the crisis
in the Caribbean"

official news agency Tass, said

fired several rounds at the ship
with q heavy machine gun.
The ship was tied up in the
port Of Isabella la Sagua, on
the north coast.
The note made no mention
of casualties but Cuban refu-
gees in Miami claimed several
Russian soldiers were killed in
the attack on the ship and q
nearby Soviet military camp.
The official news agent re-
ported that the note, handed
today to the United States EN-.
bassy in Moscow, declared the
Soviet government expects the
United States Government to
take decisive measures to pre-
vent such provocative actions
in the future"
Supply of ExiIes Charged
The Soviet note accused the
United States Of supplying the
exiles weapons. ships and bases.
American officials have re-
peatedly acknowledged the fact
that the counterrevolutionary
groups are financed by the
United States and enjoy its full
protection" the note said.
by offering the Cuban

organizing piratical attacks
against the Republic Of Cuba,
the U. S. A. is actually bringing
about a dangerous aggravation
of the situation in the area Of
the Caribbean Sea and
throughout the world.
1T is completely evident that
the government Of the U. 8. A.
bears full responsibility for the
actions Of the Cuban counter
revolutionaries, including the
attack which they committed
against the Soviet vessel Lgov,
which is not only a crude viola
