Ends Discrimination in Housing
NEW YORK, N. Y.—“Equitable
provision for eligible families ol
all races without discrimination,
is part of the language of a reso
lution passed recently by the
Housing Authority of the City of
Pasco, Washington.
The resolution, a direct result
of a community survey conducted
by the National Urban League,
ends discrimination in public
housing in Pasco. The Urban
League is the country’s oldest ami
only interracial service agency
working for equal economic op
portunity.
The town’s population has been
mushroomed by the establishment
in the Pasco-Kennewick-Richland
area of the Hanford Works of the
Atomic Energy Commission.
The survey of economic and so
cial conditions were conducted by
Dr. Warren M. Banner, director ot
the League’s Department of Re
search, and Community Projects
at the request of a tri-cities com
mittee of civic leaders, who were
concerned about the social prob
lems arising out of over-taxed
community facilities.
x>i. Banner spent January and
February, 1951, making a care
ful examination of housing, health,
education, recreation and group
work, juvenile delinquency and
('crime, the church, Negro enfter
r1 prises, race relations, social agess
cries .the Atomic Energy Commis
aoB, mm! General Electric Com
pany (the principal contractor).
His report brought to light severe
rocial discriminatjori in the Trs
I City area in housing and employ- j
merit and made specific recom
mendations few correcting these
condi tions.
“That the Pasco Housing
Authority follows a uniform prac
tice in assigning tenants to unit*
as they are eligsbel for vacancies,
without regard to their race," was
the recommendation which ha*,
borne fruit in ResoLutaoc No. 114,
adopted by the Houring Author
ity.
Eh. Banner also recommended
that private industries and labor
unions which have not accepted
Negro workers “be urged to re
view their policy ^sd practices
from the pemt of view of Cull
utilization of available manpower
and also to bring fisehr practices
into thorough aeccedassee with the
a±a.t» fair emnin? fitues* practices

j It was customary for some of
the Indian tribes of Old Nebraska'
jto pay each other extended visits.
Dr. Robert C. Farb, professor of I
Ihistory at Simpson College in In- ,
dianola, Iowa, describes one such !
visit in the September issue of!
Nebraska History, the quarterly
magazine issued by the state his
torical society.
This was the visit of the Win
nebagoes to the Omaha in the j
wmter of 1863-64. It was no or
dinary visit, but a sojourn lasting
more than a year and resulting
!ultimately in the transfer of the,
Winnebagoes to a reservation in'
; > V : • --
The Winnebagoes, once masters
•<o£ lake and forest in the north
country, found themselves after
the Minnesota Indian uprising of
1861 at Crow Creek Agency on
the hot, dry prairies of Dakota I
territory. When a drouth in 1863
completely destroyed their crops,
they sent a delegation of five to
the agency to request that 150 of
the most destitute of their number
be allowed to live with the
Omahas until the Great Father in
Washington made adequate pro
vision for the tribe.
The Omahas agreed, but instead
of 150 the entire Winnebago na
tion of more than 1,200 men,
women, and children descended
upon the hospitable Omahas. They
dadn't all come during the w-in
ter those who died, however,
stayed and the remainder came
cm during the next spring and
summer.
So many guests on the reserva
tion constituted a serious problem

Furnas {later governor of Ne

the salt at 4 cents i*er pound
Patrick was to furnish one pound
of flour and one of beef per day
for cuch Winnebago on the reser
vation Salt was to be furnished
at the rate of four quarts per
100 persons.
There was concern, too, that the
|presence of so many Winnebagoes
might cause trouble between the
Jtwo tribes. To forestall this, the
Omaha chiefs, led by Joseph La
Flesche, drew up a stringent set
:of regulations for their guests
Drunkenness was to be severely
punished, as was “dancing to ex
cess,” gabling, and setting fire to
the prairie woodland.
To help the Winnebagoes sup
port themselves, the Omahas gave
them the privilege of cultivating
100 acres of bottom land. The
government furnished the hoes
.and seed to those who wished to
work, and a fair crop of corn
!was rised in 1864 despite the dry
weather. Some of the Winne
bagoes augmented their income
by hiring out to neighboring
'farmers in Iowa as well as Ne
braska.
Ultimately, the Omahas were
persuaded to sell a part of their
reservation to the government for
the use of the Winnebagoes. Thus,
what started as a visit ended as
a permanent move. The Winne
bagoes have remained in Ne
braska to this day.

And more amazing, Winters
took over the task with only nine

He acquitted himself with dis

be given other opportunities to
sing the same heavy part again
this season. Already Winters had
