Urge Housing Authorities Not To Restrict Negroes In Public Housing By Quota System A quota system limiting the num Negroes In federal housing projects should not take the place ef granting occupancy on the bas te of heed and qualification, (he NAACP declared In telegrams sent Junt 17 to John B. Blanrtfarct Jr. tdmlnistrator ot the National Hccs tog Agency, and Herben Emmer Ich, commissioner of the Federal Public Housing Authority. The NAACP said Negroes are entitleo to the same secern to publicly ianced housing project as other citizens on the basis of their needs and qualifications. A hearing in the Michigan Circuit Court was held June 20 at which representatives of the government agencies were called to state their policy with regard 10 Negroes and other minorities in pub Committee, active in the Sojruner Truth fight Judge Miller granted a temporary Injunction ruling that the Hamtramck Housing Authority could grant no more than 93 per cent in the projects to whites.

Negroes make up the seven per cent of the population there. The hearing may freeze the seven per quota, by means of a permanent injunction. Because the Negro population changes, especialy in abnormal times like these, the NAACP point ed out, a permanent injunction rv tricting Negro tenants to sev 1 per cent would not be sound. 30 Single Accident May Upset AH Hopes For Long And Happy Life By PU. GEORGE W.

WALSH There is no argument against seeking good health and maintaining it at all costs, but a single accident may upset all hopes tor a long life and a happy one. While it may be hard to follow a regular system of diet and exercise, it certainly is exceedingly easy to obey the rules of safety. The sate use of streets and highways depends to a large extent on the skill and good judgment ot the users. If it is a matter of pride with you to drive your car, to walk across a street or carry on your daily occupation in the most skillful manner possible, you are much less likely to get hurt or to injure others than Is the person who Is in the habit of using guess work or taking chances. If you have skill and good judgment you will, consider traffic signs and signals and observe the rules of the road as faithfully as you follow the rules for good health.

It is Just as important to take care of the way you behave when using the streets as it is to see to it that your health is not endangered. The former is much easier than the latter for it needs only care and thoughtfulness. The best prescription for a long life and a pleasant one is a combination of both, skill and good Judgment I Tenure Is Extended 1 yr MICHIGAN C. BROWN, veteran Karlem Republican captain, whose tenure in office as messenger in the City Council was extended for the life the present Council 'on action of the Board of Estimate last week. City Council President Newbold Morris, who refused two weeks ago to go along with his colleagues on a number of extensions for City employes who had reached the retirement age of 70, singled out the pending retirement of Mr.

Immediately prior to his assumption of command, he served as member of the faculty in the Military Department ot the Uni sity of Ames, Iowa, where he earned for himself enviable dis Unction as an instructor in mili tary art It is in recognition of his ability as an educator that the War Department designated him to organize the newly established Military Department at West Virginia State College."

Government Of South Native Pass Laws The pernicious pass laws which for years have had the effect of restricting the free movement of African people, particularly ot African labor, have been officially abandoned in certain industrial areu within the Union of South Africa, the Council on African Attain learned last week. These laws rendered Africans liable to arrest at any hour ot the day or night for failure to produce on demand by the police, any one of a number of documents such as receipt for payment ot annual Poll Tax. Native Service Contract, Special Night Pass, Travelling Pass, etc. By severely restricting the free movement of African workers, the pass laws were one ot the main barriers to African trade union organization. Colonel Danys Roitx, Minister of Native Affairs, who championed the suspension of the pass laws, estimated that during the three years 1939 1M1, there' were M7.6W arrests under those laws; 283.823 prosecutions; and 273.790 convictions.

Undoubtedly five times the number of Africans arrested were accosted by the police, he stated. This decision by the South African Government followed closely upon the recent conference of officials ot the African National Congress with the Deputy Prime Minister to urge the abolition ot the pass laws. Officers ot the Council on African Affairs this week urged the South African Government to abolish the laws in rural area as well, and to discontinue the curfew which enforces Africans to carry identification cards it on the streets after p. They made fbelr request in a letter to Colonel Roitx which stressed that the abandonment ot the peas laws in rural districts would destroy the feudal hold ot employers over African laborers and open tip the way for the full development of African workers. 1 on, cans cent in was the the the ers, of an i and for the improvement ot Ueir The right of collective bargaining has been extended, through the recognition ot African trade uni to several million native Afri who comprise 80 to 90 per of the unskilled labor supply the Union of South Africa, it revealed her this week by British Press Service.

According to the press service, an official report received in London from the Ministry ot Labor ot the Union ot South Africa states that government will now recognize trade unions of colored work a right formerly restricted to white workers. The news service report also indicated that this important labor victory lor African people will be further strengthened by the South African trade union expansion pro gram which is moving along Indus trial lines similar to the Congress Industrial Organizations in this country. In terms ot increased wages, se curity and greatly Improved healrn conditions for African workers. South African trade union leaders pointed out that Africans now had opportunity to Improve the terribly inadequate wages, ranging from $12.50 to $20 a month, which they now receive. The efforts of African organiza tions, led by the African National Congress, comprising labor, wo men's church and athletic groups, helped to achieve this victory.

In a recent delegation to the Deputy Prime Minister of South Africa, Dr. A B. Xuma, who studied medicine in America is now President General ot the African National Congress, demand ed that African trade unions be recognized and that present dis criminations in industrial legisla tion be removed. The delegation also urged the appointment of African Inspectors of Labor. Commenting on the international implications of this new develop ment in South Africa, Dr.

Max Yergen, Executive Director of the Council on African Affairs, declared today that the emergence ot Africa as an important theatre ot the war has brought about tremendous industrial changes which fundamentally affect the life of African people. "South Africa's industrial growth, assisted by American technicians, engineers and aircraft experts, affects every African worker. Art you entitled to wear a target bpel button?
