tATtnoMT, JCLT M, liH m CIBOUIU Hits ‘Go Slow* Advice On Ending Seyejotfoii In Housiig Mbert Cole, CIO Official, Scores Biased Recommendation WASHINGTON, D. C. Advice by Albert Cole, the U. S. Housiflg and Home Fin ance Agency Commlaaioner, that the government should go *low In elinilnating segrega tion in housing was criticized today by a CIO official as di rectly contrary to stated poli- ' cies of the Administration. The criticism was voiced by George L-P Weaver, director of the CIO Civil Rights Com mittee and chairman of the National Committee, against Discrimination in Housing. Mr, Weaver noted thpt while Commissioner Cole maintains he is not satisfied with present racial policies in housing, he refuses to take ac tion to coftrect them. ‘‘As a result, about 85 per cent of federally-sponsored public housing is racially se gregated; practically no FHA insured housing “Is available to minority groups; and federal slum removal programs are clmrlag niaority groups cut of their existing homes with out making provisions for new housing fof them,” he said. Weaver pointed out that Commissioner Cole’s state- "mwit on his position on segre gation in housing, given last week to a House Judiciary Subcommittee, “is in direct contradiction to a promise made bp President Elsenhower at a press conference on Au gust 5, 1954. At that time, the Pr«sident said that federal funds would not be used to support discriminatory prac tices.” In addition. Weaver said, Mr. Cole’s statement is at com plete variance with the official position of the Administration, u that position was set forth by Attorney-General Brownell and Solcitor General Sobeloff in the govenunent brief pre sented to the Supreme Court in the school segregation cases. “It is difficult to under stand,” Mr. weaver continued, "how Commissioner Cole can ^“ffuvooate segregation in the housing fisld and oonttnue to serve in a high post in an Ad ministration which has argued before the Supreme Court that segregation Is morally Indefen sible and unconstitutional In the public schools.” Miss Arthrell P.

Cole was ttie principal speak er here in the PrinciiMtls Work shop at North Carolkta College recently. He talked on the workshop’s general theme “Improved Lead ership through Improved Rela tions” with special reference to this week’s main discussion topic, “Barriers to Effective Group Operation and Tech niques for Overcoming Them.' Asserting that "out of improv ed relations will arise a new, man dynaaaic and lasproved .leadership,” the man wha won the Pulitaer priae and the Sid ney Hilhnan award for his cru- sa^ against the terrorist tactics and allied groups in Southeast em Mortta Carolina in 1901 tmi 1952, added: "Tbe doctrine that ‘if we would convince and con vert, we must always seem ree- sonaUe to those we would In fluence’ suggests iteU. That is purely good public relations.” He continued; “Changes must take place in the attitude of the leadership of both races. It may even mean tlie end of ttke Negro press as It operates today. How can white newspapers be expect ed to end news segregation if Negro newspapers stress a seg regation appeal? There will be a place tor the Negro press, but it may not be in the field of stirring racial thinking. In the attainment of improved leadership through improved human relations, unquestionably there must be considerable un derpinning of the less literate groups in our society—educa tional and economic . . The former ^tor who is now a public relations executive told tile story of a man who blew iq> white and red balloons and each soared ixigh into tbe sky. Then, he said, a little Negro boy asked what would happen if a tiiack baloon were inflated. The man blew the black balloon up and it ascended as high as the others. “S«i,” the man spoke, “It isn’t tlie color of the balloon that makes it- rise toward the heav- ois. It’s wtwfs inside.” Cole said, “that much we must teach. And never asasl w* lead anyone to believe that an -tmr ecutive order or Oafine Coart decision wHl carry anyosM to the heists. Yet we mtMt provMs the opportunity for all the bal loons to have the same UMag quality. "It seems to n>e that there Is a middle ground, a moderate ap proach. None must be deceived by the 1995 carpctbeg0Br's em pty promise of 40 acres and a mule, nor be dissuaded frosn the clear path of duty by tbe philo sophy of liate of the Ku Khn Klan. Concluding, the former man said, “. . . If we fail in oar effort to establish a lastlns de mocratic and lust society, it will be because we fail to loin hands in Cliristlan brotherhood.
