Calvin9 s Digest By Floyd J. Calvin (Only column in the Negro Presslisted by Editor and Publisher)^ Work in Rochester Wo wish to commend Editor Ho ward W. Coles of The Rochester Voico for his work in bringing to tho attention of City Manager Harold Baker, the unwholesome housing conditions affecting color ed citizens of his city, with the result that Mr. Coles has been named a member of the enlarged Citizens Committee on Housing, comprising eleven members. Mr. Cole was one of three new mem bers added on March 8, the other two being Arthur White, secretary treasurer of the Carpenters Dis trict Council; and Mrs, Leonard W. Jones of the League of Women Voters. Interest in sub-standard housing for Negroes in Rochester was sti mulated through an aggressive campaign waged by Mr. Coles took the form , of publicity secured in tho daily press, showing pic tures, both exterior and interior views, of Negro homes in the "slum” area. When the evidence was brought forth in the press, through the cooperation of Con gressman George "B. Kelly, Demo crat of the 38th Congressional dis trict, the public authorities were compelled to take note. Colored people themselves — clergymen, businessmen, and fraternal leaders —rtook an active interest, sending letters to the City Manager’s of fice, with the result that Editor Coles was named on the Housing Committee. It was brought out that some five hundred families are living under sub-star’Uiu conditions, and '"“that 285 families are without bath tubs, and 84 houses have no indoor toilets. A determined campaign is under way to bring a Federal housing project to Rochester, ar.d if it comes, a large number of benefi ciaries will be Negroes. The initiative of Editor Coles in starting this battle and getting results, so far, to the extent that tha colored citizens of Rochester have their own representative on the Citizens Housing Committee is strictly in line with the tradi tional fight of the Negro press to improve conditions of the people Again we commend Editor Coles. $250,000 Increase Again we extend congratulations ■Mi GET RID OF SHINE !

C., Edgar G. Brown president, for the successful com 1 pletion of their 1938 wage increase fight which resulted in $250,000 being added to salaries of some 3,000 low-paid federal workers, giv ing each $60 more a year to save or spend. Last year it was $200, 000 for 2,000, and this year it is $250,000 for 3,000 workers. The UGE has just issued a book let reproducing the official record of the 76th congress which tells the story of the wage increase fight, step by step. It is interesting to note the strategy of the UGE offi cials in making friends in both the Lower and Upper House. The er ganization lists the Committee of Appropriations of the Senate as its friends. Senaitor Glass of Virginia is chairman of this Committee, and some of the mebers are McKellar of Tennessee, Copeland of New York, Hayden of Arizona, Thomas of Ok lahoma, McCarran of Nevada, O’Mahoney of Wyoming, and McAdoo of California. On the House Appropriations Committee are friends like Edward Taylor of Colorado, chairman; Jed Johnson of Oklahoma, John E. Dockweiler of California, and Em met O'Neal of Kentucky. It’s heartening to see an organiza tion, only two years old, have $450, 000 in wage increases to its credit, giving $5 a month to five thousand people. It shows what is possible in this day and age, in realms where opportunity might be thought not to exist. Lawyers Awake President William L. Houston of the Nation Bar Association told the Beccaria club, which entertain ed him at the Parker House. Boston recently, of the work of the colored lawer in improving the civic and social jife of the group. Mr. Houst on, who is also Special Assistant to the Attomey General of the United States, “recounted the victories won in the matter of breaking up the separate coaches for interstate passengers; of securing race repre sentation on both grand and pe+it juries in southern states; of pro erring due precess and equal pro tection of the law in courts; of op ening the doors of state universit ies for higher education of colored students; for equalizing the pay of teachers; of establishing the right of free speech; of breaking down residential segregation; of precur ing decrees from the courts prehib-1 iting the legislature from enacting i statutes (to bar Negroes from prim- ' aries; of obtaining civil rights as to empyolment of Negroes; of the effective work the colored lawyer has done in the matter of! civil lib ei-ties as they effect Negroes and of strong support they gave in the battle for t.h er.aotment of the anti Ivnching bill.” The National Bar Association is now in its 13th year. It was organ ised in 1925, being founded by Hon. George H. Woodson. It is good that the lawyers are banded together and, in addition to seeking their personal fortunes, are seeking as a fraternal group the betterment of the race as a whole. More respect comes do them, and to all. through! such concerted effort. Mound Bayou's Finances It, is interesting to read the ann ual statement of the town of Mound Bayou, Miss., the world- famous Negro town which not so long ago celebrated its fifteenth anniversary Its Mayor is B. A. Green, a Harv ard man. The town collected $2,045. 25 during the year, and spent $2, 015.51, leaving a balance in the tre sury, as of December 31, of $29. 74. The most important point is that the town lived wfthin its income. --o LEIGH WHIPPER NOW BACK ON BROADWAY New York, April 9 (C)—Leigh Whipper, veteian actor who haSj appeared many timps on Broadway in such plays as “Porgv,” “Steve dore.” and “Three Men on a Horse is now contributing his hit to^the success of “Of Mice and Men, at the Musis Box theatre, 45th and Broadway.
