From D. C.

Johnson
To Push
Housing
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Sweep
ing proposals that Include a
three-stage plan to end hous
ing discrimination were outlin
ed in President Johnson’s civil
rights message to Congress
Wednesday.
All points touched on lit the
civil rights bill that failed last
year, were reviewed and re
affirmed in the new package,
including the disputed housing
section that, doomed the bill the
first time.
The new bill, sources said,
would provide for a gradual
end to discrimination in the
rental or sale of property rath
er than the outright ban pro
posal in the 1966 bill.
, Using the pattern of the e
qual opportunity section of the
1964 Civil Rights Act, the new
plan will provide a steadily
more inclusive prohibition
against housing bias, over a
three year period.
The first year, open housing
would be encouraged through
conciliation agencies and feder
al Inducements, but would re
main voluntary.
The second year, however, It
would become mandatory for
large developments and apart
ments. Thereafter, the pro
hibition against racial discrim
ination in housing would apply
to all buying and selling.
But it was reported that even
when fully in effect the third
year, the proposed law would
exempt certain small - scale
rental operations.

Humphrey
Deplores
Prejudice
Anywhere
NEW YORK —Vice Presi
dent Hubert H. Humphrey, in a
candid assessment of human
rights throughout the world,
has characterized prejudice as
one of the “greatest dangers
to human survival today.’- He
asserted that If the United States
does not succeed in solving its
problems of prejudice, “the
cause of world peace and free
dom will have suffered a seri
ous—perhaps fatal—setback.”
The Vice President made
these statements in a pamph
let entitled Race in a Chang
ing World, issued here today
on the 158th birthday of Abra
ham Lincoln by the AMERI
CAN JEWISH COMMITTEE,
pioneer human relations agency
In this country, in its new “A
merican Conversations” pam
phlet series.
Characterizing race preju
dice as “not merely a local
threat but a global one,' Mr.
Humphrey pointed out that
“prejudice In one form or ano
ther seems to afflict most peo
ple of the world.” He cited
prejudice against the Chinese
in Southeast Asia, Hindu-Mos
lem antagonism and African
tribal warfare as some exam
ples. Despite the magnitude
of the problem, he was none
theless hopeful, he said, that

SULLIVANISM EXAMINED
Last week we made bold to compare

The Reverend Leon Sullivan is pastor of

something unusual must be going on! An

By Strange
Women
The time-worn story of
finding a pocket book filled
with money and should be divid

used. Raleigh police report
that the trick has changed with
the times and more alluring

who began a conversation. She
alleges the woman was about
30 years old, 5’6” tall, wear
ing a red dress, red coat and
red turban. She said the wo
man was of medium complex

The victim was asked if she
knew where a white lawyer could
be found. The stranger told
a fantastic story of how her
husband had been killed in Viet
nam and she did not think she
had received enough money for
the death of her husband.
Mrs. Murphy is said to have
told her that she did not know
where she could find a white
lawyer. About this time the
two women were joined by a
nother woman, s’tall and weigh
ing about 160 lbs. The third
woman, was said to have had a
bruised left eye and her eye
ball was said to have been red.
She is also said to have had

To Save

The officials of North Car

the criticisms against Gover
noe Moore and the Advisory
Budget Commission for the pro
posal that the Law School at
North Carolina College be e
liminated from H. M, Michaux,
president of the school’s Na

Tuesday.
Mr. Michaux buttressed his
presentation with the fact that
many individuals were greatly
distressed over the budget cuts,
affecting the college and par
ticularly the cut, which, in ef

Both Governor Moore and the

mended the closing of the law
school, at the Durham college.
Michaux attributed the pro
posal to the fact that the en

in the past. He felt that there
were many other factors that
should have entered into the
equation and pointed to the dis
