On'.y after pow ei'ful interests in congress threat ened to wreck he entire pub ic housing program did he yield. However, he did withhold approv al of any future projects in that city. A wealthy New York Jew, Straus was also a victim of the veiled anti-Smitism of prejudiced congressmen. His resignation was demanded as the price for allow ing the USHA to participate fur ther in the defense housing pro gram despite the admittedly good record the Agency has made. That the President recognizes the value of these administrators and disapproves the congressional pressure is indicated by his ap pointment of Carmody to a post on the Maritime commission. It is understood in Washington that posts will also be found for Fore man and Straus. OPEN ALL AIR FIELDS TO TRAIN COLORED FLYERS, NAACP ASKS Ner' York—The opening to qualified Negroes of facilities for training for the U_ S. air corps on the same basis as other Americans was asked of Secretary of Wa Henry L. Stimson by the NALCP. last week. The request came after the an nouncement by the War Depart ment of the complete rorganiz ation of the Army Air corps to meet the need for full scale air combat operations. The NAACP pointed out that he segregated training units to Negroes at Tuskegee Institute provides for training only 85 N> gro flyers a year and that this is inadequate. The NAACT said the only answer is to open u iately all air fields and vent Waste “IF WE WERE ABOARD” Lovingly dedicated to our men Who long to be In the U. S.

ASK LA GUARDIA TO BAN RED CROSS BLOOD STATIONS FROM CITY DEPARTMENTS New York City... .On receipt of information that the American Red Cross has set up blood donor stations in the office of the New York City Department of Welfare the NAACP requested Mayor Fic ( rello LaGuardia and Welfare Com missioner William Hodson not to be party to the discrimination practiced by the Red Cross in re fusing the blood of Negro donors. There are many Negro workers in the Department of Welfare and the NAACP maintains that the establishment of a discriminatory, blood donor station in offices where whites and Negroes work together is embarrassing and hum iliating. ‘If the Red Cross wishes to persist in its policy of refusing ^Negro donors, then it ought to do so in its own centers, off the pre mises of any city departments.” the NAACP told Commissioner Hodson.
