has given its approval to the
purchase by the DHA of the
apartments which are located
across the street from the Da
mar Court Project. The tenants
sharply questioned the suitabil
ity of the Duke apartments.
"Who is going to live in
thtese efficiency and one-bed
room apartments?" one tenant
asked.
"The elderly," replied 'Mr.
Hansen, Assistant Regional Ad
ministrator.
The tenants suggested that
the probable outcome will be
that black tenants will be
moved into the married stu
dents' apartments, while white
elderly tenants will be placed
in the planned apartments on
Main Street.
"And this is wrong," one
tenant said. "These projects
should be near something, like
a place to shop, a place to do
our laundry, and a place where
there is decent bus service."
A continuing objection to Da
mar—and to the proposed mar
ried students' purchase—is that
thelocation is isolated, with no
place to shop, poor bus service
and no recartion facilities. The
lack of bus service is a big
factor to the tenants, most of
whom do not have cars.
"Our information was that a
bus runs out to Damar every !
thirty minutes until ten at i
night," said E. R. Williams, |
head of the HUD department
which chooses sites.
"Where did you get vour in- j
formation?" the tenants asked. |
"From Carvie Oldham." said j
Mr. Williams.
The tenants pursued the |
questioning with Williams ask
ing him, "Ho wclose to Damar
do you think the nearest store
is where a child can buy a
piece of candy*"
"I'd say half-a-mile, up at j
the railroad underpass," Wil- \
liarns said.
The tenants shouted Wil-|
liams down"on this and suggest
ed that he walk from the Duke |
married students project to the I
railroad underpass. (The dis- j
Lance is about three miles.)
"Well, we thought the Duke
married students apartments
was a good deal," said Hansen. >
At this, a member of the
delegation stood up and said,
"But for who? The apartments
are not built for old people. ;
The cabinets are too low,
there's no cross ventilation, the
bathroom facilities are old
fashioned and the whole pro
ject is out in the sticks away .
from everything."
Hansen insisted that the
apartments are "well construct
ed" but the tenants stood by :
their statement that the apart- .
ment are poorly-designed for I
the people who will be living
in them, that is, old people. |
The tenants' feelings were
summed up this manner by a
member of their poup:
"HUD is letting Durham off 1
the hook on open housing by
letting this deal go through. I
What you're doing is taking
poor black folks and sticking
them out in the woods away
from everything. We don't
want to lhre near white folks,
but we do want to live near ;
something.
"But as long as HUD goes ■
along with this tort of thing, j
Durham is off the hook and
doesn't even have to think
about opening up housing to \
everybody on an equal basis." i
Many other matteri were ;
argued. Including the lack of
recreation at Cornwall is Road !
apartments; the total abaence I

contract pending for landscap
ing at Damar Court.
On aereral occasions, te
nants forced the HUD officiate
to admit that the way the
DHA operates may bear invest
igating.
For example, on the matter
of excess utility bills, a tenant
asked John Sams, head of the
Occupancy Policy Divisions,
what he thought about utility
bills of $lO9. Sams replied that
HUD couldn't do anything
about it.
"You could write the hous
ing board in Durham a letter
and say that It looks strange,"
a tenant suggested.
"A $lO9 bill is unusual,"
Sams admitted.
And the HUD officials call
ed the circumstances retarding
the $27,000 robbery "poor
judgment" by Oldham.
Mrs. Rogers, the tenants'
spokesman, called the meeting
successful in that the tenants
learned exactly what the rela
tionship is between HUD and
DHA. "We learned what we
came down here for," she said.
"Now we can plan for further
work in Durham."
The general problem of
tenants being excluded from
making decisions about their
own lives is illustrated in an
exchange between a HUD offi
cial and a lady tenant. The
HUD man was explaining that
his investigation of a petition
to remove a project manager
failed to find anybody who
would admit to having signed
the petition.
The tenant asked, "Who
went around the project with
you?"
TTie HUD official gave the
names of two men.
"Both white men," the lady
replied, "No wonder they
wouldn't talk to you. They
thought they might get evict
ed."
"We didn't think about
bringing a Negro," said the
HUD man.
"That's the whole trouble
you never do think about it."

Film "No Handouts For Mrs.
Hedgepeth" to Begin on TV
"No Handouts for Mrs.
Hedgepeth," a prize - winning
film produced in Durham by
the North Carolina Fund, is
scheduled for its first televi
sion showing starting June 15.
The film, which won the At
lanta International Film Festi
val's gold medal for best so
cial-welfare documentary of the
year, is the true story of the
life of a Durham domestic and
her family as they struggle to
building a meaningful life for
themselves although they were
born in poverty.
The movie examines the
question of whether existing
programs are soon enough or
strong enough to open new
opportunities for the Hedge
peths.
Although the motion picture
was produced by the North
Carolina Fund, it does not men
tion the Fund nor deal with
Fund programs. Speaking pri
marily through Mrs. Hedge
peth's own recorded words, the
movie raises the questions:
Why is Mrs. Hedgepeth still
poor in spite of her and her
husband's struggles? What are
her inner feelings about life,
and the prospects for her own
children? Does this nation have
a true commitment to the mil
lions of Fannie Hedgepeths in
our midst?
