22nd is -a th it io 3 i POOR HOUSING FOR NEGROES Ostrich Attitude' Of Many Cities Lamented American cities by forcing Negroes to accept the poorest housing are committing the evil of permitting Negroes to be identified with slums, Harry A. White, field representative of the American Council on Race Relations, pointed out last night. The Chicagoan, who has been dispatched by his organization to all the chief trouble soots of inter-cultural relations in America. amented "the ostrich altitude" of many communities in a talk to the Rochester Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Gannett House. Race troubles, he said, are in herent in common problems of All cities poor housing, jobless re turning veterans, inadequate rec reation facilities and unfair employment practices.

There is no such thing as an insulated or isolated community, he contended. Community Failure The Gary, Indiana, school strike and Detroit's race riots he blamed upon failure of the communities to face problems, even though they were ready with steps to quell trouble. Gary's mistake, he said, had been to attempt segregation of Negro school children as an answer to protests preced ing the widely publicized school strikes. Incidentally, he pointed out that the committee of strike Mutators was composed of not children. Opinion varies es whether any "subversive forces" were behind the strikers, who refused to permit their children to attend school with Negroes, he said in answer to a question.

The speaker deplored the 'cynicism" of the Michigan legis lators who appropriated funds to be used to enforce order in case of further race riots in Detroit, but who appropriated not one cent for fair employment, inter-cultural or housing programs to get at the reasons for race tensions." To Avoid Problem Cities like Rochester, which has apparently no eerious racial problem, "will have to do some gen eral thinking" alortg the lines of over-all community welfare to avoid the serious problems that will bestir American communities next year, the speaker said. Potential troubles of 1945 in Roch ester, N. Y. or St. Louis, he added, are common problems.

'Let's give our citizens better housing and race relations therefore will be improved," he eaid. In the process of fighting for better housing the community will be welded and strengthened." The speaker was introduced by the Rev. Isaiah P. Pogue president of the Rochester NAACP chapter.

The amendments, announced yesterday by Harold B. Drlscoll, the city's chief plumbing Inspector, cover new installations, changes of location, and replacement of old units. A written application is necessary to obtain a permit for installation of a range boiler, hot water storage tank, automatic instantaneous water heater, side arm coil tank heater, or hot water storage tank heater, and the installation must be inspected, the amendments state.

Temperature and pressure relief control valves must be part the equipment. Diiscoll said the new procedure, never before compulsory in Rochester, was adopted by the Examining Board of Plumbers with an eye toward preventing accidents during the anticipated building boom.

Beyond the half mile a charge will be made for each tenth mile, but in many cases it may be paid in monthly installments if 1eslred, according to the company. When two or more applicants are subject to construction on any one project, the cost will be divided equally among the subscribers.

According to John P. Boylan, president and general manager, the company has been experimenting with the plan for several months and has found that "only a verjii small percentage of rural appli cants desiring telephone service is required to pay any construction charge." There are still some unavoidable delays, due to inability to obtain materials which the company and subscribers must confront before the plan Is put Into operation, Boylan pointed out. Heretofore, subscribers in rural areas have been subject to the full construction costs involved in extension of service, paying at the current rate of about $18 per pole, or about $360 per half mile, J. E. Wyckoff, commercial superintendent, explained.

The monthly-installment plan for construction costs will help materially those families who would find It impossible to write out checks for sums like $50 or $100 or more. The Rochester Telephone Corporation Is one of several companies In the state that have joined in the program designed to make it easier for rural residents to avail themselves of telephones, the company pointed out. Wyckoff said that where several applicants' houses are a half-mile or less apart, construction will be extended without cost to e.ch. 2 Burglaries Net $950 Cash, Checks Burglars netted nearly $6oO cash and $300 worth of checks in forays discovered in two places yesterday morning. Major haul was at the Unit Parts Company, at 67 Ridge Rd.

where $00 in cash and $JUu in checks were taken from a cash box hidden in the office. Entrance was gained by forcing a rear window. At the cafe operated by Louis Schellinger at 208 Monroe Ave. a burglar who is believed to have secreted himself in the cellar until after closing time yesterday morning stole $248 from a box hidden in a panel in the barroom. Police found that a door leading from the cellar into the bar had been forced.

Order for the mobilization, aimed at finding out how long such a mili tary exercise takes, came at 3:57 p. from Brigade headquarters in Buffalo. By the fifth hour, 9 p. 66 of the 72 officers and 82 per cent of the nelisted personnel of the regiment had reported at armories, Col. Fred E.

Wegner said. Records were kept only through the fifth hour, the commanding officer said, and those who reported were dismissed at 9.30 p. m. Besides the established calls down through company commanders, ra dio stations issued calls at intervals during the late afternoon. The mobilization was speedier than last January when the regiment was ordered out for snow shoveling duty.

At that time 'many men were employed in war produc tion plants and their release from work was slower. In compiling the records of the test, only those who actually reported were kept, it was explained. "Unaccounted for" would take in those ill or out of town. Emregency rations similar to those used during weekend maneuvers during the were served at both the Main Street East and Culver Road armories. The test mobilization also includ ed the 3rd Regiment, Syracuse, and 65th and 74th Regiments, Buffalo.

The Geneva company, of the 3rd Regiment, was called to its armory by blowing of a siren at a Geneva plant. 4 Inventors Here Receive Patents Four Rochester inventors were awarded five patents durine. the week ending Dec. 4 it was announced yesterday by Frank Keiper, patent attorney.
