Rural Poor
Need Help,
Says ARC
ATLANTA - The rural fam
ilies which have the worst hous -
ing and are most in need of
federal housing aid do not get
it because of bad regulations
and continuing racial discrimi
nation, (he Southern Regional
Council said Sunday.
A report m the council’s
monthly newspaper, "SouthTo
day” notes that the loan funds
of the Farmers Home Admin
istration have been greatly in
creased in recent years, to $1.4
billion in fiscal 1971. But, the
report suts, the money will not
do the job because this housing
program, “like, the majority
of (FmHA's) other rural loan
packages, is not designed to
reach the poor.”
It calls attention to a paradox:
that persons whose income is
below the federally-defined
poverty level are actually, for
that reason, ineligible for the
most important parts of the
fin Ha housing program, a pro
gram intended to help the poor.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - In a
speech highly critical of the
“laissez faire policies” ofthe
Federal Government toward
minorities, Dr. Edward D.
Irons, Executive Director of
the National Bankers Associa
tion, asserted that the employ
ment policies of the govern
ment and private industry both
contribute significantly to the
low economic situation of A
merica’s Black population.
Dr. Iron’s remarks were
contained in a speech schedul
ed for delivery at the Univers
ity of Texas School of Business
on Tuesday, April 27. He was
invited by University officials
to be the Richard B. Gonzales
lecturer.
Li his address, Dr. Irons
described how the administra
tion of various Federal Gov
ernment programs, i.e., Ag
riculture, EH A, Y A housing,
and Federal Highway Con
struction, results in the mi
gration and constriction of
Blacks to the ghettos.
He pointed out that the rela
tive income and wealth
holdings of Black Americans
have not changed significantly
over the last 25 years, in spite
of the lact that America has
experienced the greatest eco
nomic advances in its history
during this period.
Dr. Irons said; “There is no
