Jonra, Jr., charged here today in his report to the 49th annual meeting of the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People. Jones, tlie Association’s special assistant far bousing, further charged that the federally-aided program “is being used as a de vice to set up new areas of racial containment. It is apparent ttiat till* is being done to circumvent integration of public schools.” He cited, as examples, tiie urban renewal programs in Gadaden and Eufaula, Ala., wiiich were approved over NAACP ' objec tions. The niajor activity ot the housing department during 1957, Jones reported, was in the area of city planning which “poses critical problems for minority groups. Planning and renewal li^ accordance with NAACP policy are the keys to the future inte grated community.” In Muskegon Heights, Mich., tlie city planner, after'prolong|6d. consultation, incorporated the NAACP position in his official submission of future plans to» the city. The policy, approved by the City Council, seeks elimina tion of the present segregation pattern and redevelopment of an area in such a manner as to re-establish racial balance. i Ouimt ngtuttd, the Aaoda- tion in 1BS7 niftercd a drop in mcmbersliip of some 40,000 fron^ th* 3f0,000 of IBM, This was tha first time idnce 1949 tkat mma~ berahip declined.
