Nebraskans have an opportunity to send messages of hope and
encouragement directly' to the communist oppressed people behind
the iron curtain during the current Crusade for Freedom campaign.
Each contributor may sign a Freedom Gram (above) which will
be sent to national headquarters of the Crusade, and then moved
across the Iron Curtain in Europe.
Funds raised during the current campaign will be used to sup
port and expand Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia—considered
to be one of America’s most potent weapons in the cold war against
I
communism. ,
Through these two radio networks, the people behind the Iron
Curtain are given the truth about communism and about democracy.
Radio Free Europe, for example, broadcasts more than 1,000 hours a
week in seven languages.
George W. Holmes of Lincoln, state chairman for the Crusade,
urged Nebraskans to contribute generously towards the $4,000,000
national goal.
Contributions, together with signed Freedom Grams, may be
mailed to Crusade for Freedom, care of local postmaster.

Brooklyti College
Wins FEPC Debate
BROOKLYN (ANP)—Brooklyn
college debaters defeated teams of
15 metropolitan area colleges to
win the regional trophy of the
National Students Association.
Ted Colton, Eli Friedman, Ben
Buchbinder and Meyer Eisenberg
were members of the tourney win
ners. All are seniors.
Colton and Friedman set forth
the following points in support of
the question, “Congress Should
Enact a Fair Employment Prac
tices Law”:
The needs for such legislation
exist in alarming proportions. Job
discrimination creates bad eco
nomic effects by causing a de
pression in productivity and in
come and creates bad political re
lations overseas, and it is against
the moral principles of the United
States. If fair wage and hour laws
are enforceable on a national
scale, then FEPC legislation would
not be in violation of States
Rights.

He has talked to: Mr. Bailey,
Executive Secretary of the Cham

ford, Representative of the Com
mittee of Service Division of the
US Air Force, Robert Malone, cur
rent President of the Lincoln
Urban League, and Mr. Coyle,
Lincoln Community Chest Assist
ant Secretary and Council of
Social Aid.
The Housing problems of Lin
coln, are the major interests of
Mr. Pawley.
On the basis of his conferences
and observations, he is of the
opinion that a critical housing
situation exist. This situation is
heightened by the number of mili
tary personnel coming to Lincoln
as a result of the reactivation of
the Lincoln Air Base. According to
Military and City Government of
ficials, continues Mr. Pawley,
about 4,000 units will be needed
to meet the current needs, result- .
ing from the Air Base reactivation.
The specific plans for adequate
housing for Negro air base per
sonnel as well as civilian per-,
i.sonnel, should be the chief con- „
cern of the Negro population of
Lincoln. This housing will not be
forthcoming unless the people of
Lincoln insist upon securing it.
For example: Of the 13,07.9
housing units under construction
or in the planning stage by local
builders, none will be available to
non-white residents.
Builders and Realtors of Lincoln
are morally obligated to provide
housing for lower and middle
class bracket groups, because they
are the ones who defeated all
(Proposals for public housing for
these groups.
The Air Force operates on an
intergrated pattern All housing
on the Base will be intergrate 1,
therefore, off-base personnel hous
ing should be on the same basis.
Present plans of the North Side
Improvement Association, o f
which George Randol is President,
calls for the construction of five
fourplexes sometime in the near
future. This in itself is a step in
the right direction and if success
ful would help to alleviate the
present housing situation.
The need is real and immediate,
due to the arrival of some mili
tary personnel as early as July,
’53. By that time the need'will be #
for actual units and not for units
on paper.
