Medley, Supervisor DEVOTIONAL PERIOD: After a song, prayer was offered by the Reverend Mr. Davis, Pastor of the First Baptist Church. WELCOME: Mrs. Medley stated that since the Mayor of Washington was present to address the District, and since she could remain but a short time, she, Mrs. Medley would digress from the regular routing and have the Mayor address the meeting at this time. Mr. Carter, President of the host branch, then introduced Mrs. Parker who delivered the welcome address. Rev. Davis then intro­ duced Her Honor, Mrs. Davis, the Mayor of Washington. Dr. Williams responded to the Mayor's address. Mrs. Cox, mother of the Mayor and a county teacher, was next introduced and spoke quite feelingly. Mr. W. Lester Banks was next to be introduced and responded to the statement made by Mrs. Cox. MINUTES: Minutes of the last meeting (January 2 ( were read and, upon motion l) by Mrs. Ambers, were adopted. REPORT OF BRANCHES: Mrs. Medley then introduced Dr. E. B. Henderson, vice-president of the State Conference, and Mrs. Marx, vice-president of the Arlington County Branch. Dr. Williams and Mrs. B. M.

Jack Ashley, Prof, and Urs. Walker (Howard U . ) Lyle Bryant, Mrs. biker Smith, Miss Apple (Hat. Council of Catholic Women) Chas. R. Webb, David Mentis, John Howell, Grant Clark, Dr. Harold M. Johnson, Mrs. Cecil Maurice, Barbara 4 , Larx. 4 Lyle Bryant announced that the housing question would be our theme for the evening. Ashley Director of housing member of School Census Committee in 1948. The 1940 census datat ire practically useless except that they tell us where we started from. The overcrowding was not great. 1948 there were only 66,000 “egroes a little over 5$ 117,000 whites Others lEEeEuTlding of the Pentagon in 1 9 -2 removed about 100 housing units for * egroes. The Carver and Dunbar projects are now presumably owned by cooperatives. Recent housing is too expensive for families in sub-standard homes. On S. Oxford Street 200 houses were built on land originally owned by ^egroes but they were priced at $9,000 in stead of $6,000 as stated first and only one was purchased by Negroes. Dr. Johnson mentioned the influx recently of legrocs fron Bedford, Va i As no housing they can afford is availab'e they double up or er ect sub-standard shacks. The people in these sub- standard dwellings are not satisfied with them and want something better. Ashley explained briefly the criteria set up by the 1950 census, facilities were noted: heat, light, flush toilet, bath, no. of rooms condition: good — in noed of minor repairs— - dilapidated, that is holes in walls, sagging roofs, detioriated stiars etc. asphalt shingles can cover a multitude of sins, so can a coat of paint on the exterior. ■Question what is the basis for eondemantion in Arlington? Answer by Howell "ousing unfit for habitation because of exposure to elements, lack of sanitation, safety reasons etc. We have health inspections, plumbing, electric, and fire. Evictions from condemned housing may overcrowd facilities which were all right before causing them to become sub-standard. What is the housing condemnation procedure of the bounty? Ashley. We must remember that Arlington is a nursery community, feople may migrate out to Fairfax as their families grow up. 1940 census showed 1000 families out of 15,000 in substandard houses. non-white owned property— 2/5 owner occupied, 2/5 in need of repairs non-white rented property majority of units needed repairs, had no running water. What is the possibility for low Cost public housing? “ ^ I L T t u n t y 1wouVd* M V a b llW The land and A u th o rity or Gem* �Commission. to take charge of low rent housing owned by the com­ munity. The P.H.A. would grant 200-300 units here if requested. The County - oard could set-up a housing authority any time. (This was voted down hy a vote of three to two a few years ago».) Ashley Our approach should he what is the need of the community? The real estate group will oppose public housing. We should first request them to put up low cost housing and let them go on record as refusing to do so. 3r.yant inoidently Arlington is the only southern city of over 50,000 without a housing authority. Ashley, we could get the 1250 census figures in about a year. To get them broken down by blocks would cost extra money. 3 prof­ 1 essional survy would run into money too. A survey could be made by a volunteer group. Mr Ashley could show the workers the film on housing criteria shown U. S. Census enumerators to teach them what to look for, A market analysis would be a good thing to have made. Yentls What we need is an Arlington Housing AssQciation made up of delegates from interests organizations. !ir. Howell suggested we raaight proceed more rapidly and dispense with detailed surveys. The pros and cons of preventitive measures to stop the erection of sub-standard shcks were discussed. The group split on this. Prof; Walker argued that this action will only overcrowd present houses making them sub-standard. He asked if we wanted to keep Negroes from coming into Arlington? Bryant appointed a sub-committee of our group, Howell, Ashly, John­ son to draw up a program of action to present to the planning Com­ mission of Arlington- copies of this program are to be distributed to our group. Housing information supplied by the nurses at the colored schools w as postponed to the next meeting because the hour was so late.

The Southern Baptist Christian Life Commission has urged "churches to use their leadership ... toward a united nation ... proclaiming a democracy that will commend freedom to all peoples." The General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church has voted to open its colleges to both races and to "call on local churches to eliminate dis­ crimination within their own fellowships." Various Southern conferences of of the Methodist Church have counseled their memberships to face the decision as law-abiding citizens. The Protestant Episcopal Church in its Department of Social Christian Relations has stated: "The decision of the Supreme Court ...is just and right." The Catholic Church, whose schools in the District of Columbia had been open to Negro students for years, has integrated its parochial schools in several Southern cities. The Ministerial Conference in Roanoke, Virginia, recently voted to advise Governor Stanley that the in­ tegration of schools is "morally right" and should not be evaded by any attempt to abolish the public school system. Church leaders may take pride in these forthright statements by their governing bodies. But it remains for the local pastor and religious workers to interpret and justify these policies, and so to challenge clear vision and honest judgment among their people that support of the Court's decision may permeate the local congregations. On this question the struggle for men's minds is an active process. While Governor Stanley is even considering methods to circumvent the manifest purpose of the Court, the Clergy dare not be silent about man's duty of compliance with law and of brotherhood. We, therefore, urge you to make your influence felt now in all the ways you can toward a Christian and law-abiding response among your church members to the challenge of the Court's decision. Have you made the matter the subject of a sermon? Have you discussed it in adult groups, and among your young people? Have you made sure that the members of your congregation know the position their church has taken, and your personal endorsement of that position? Have you considered the expediency of asking members to take a public stand in favor of integration? The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People works only through legal channels, to win for minority groups an equal protection under existing laws. We address this appeal to you in the belief that you share our purpose and are happy to work for tho same end - an enlargement of Christian brotherhood. Yours cordially.

Dear Mr. Banka: There have bean many enthusiastis coanonts on last nightSs meeting# 1 heps tiiat as a roault of the enthusiasm aroused by Kr. Marshall's speech our membership drives in this part of the state will be more successful. Acouple of people have ashed about the collection which was taken up. My suggestion would be to pay the expenses of the mooting and give the remainder, which should be well over $150 to the Freedom Fund in the name of the Seventh District. I think this would be better than trying to divide and credit suns to difx’orent branches. Does this most with your approval? If so x shall propose it at the 7th District meeting April 10th. Can you send me a statement of what expenses are due the state office for posters, handbill, travel and living expenses for Mr. Marshall and anything else that is due. It weuld e helpful if yeu could send me this before April 10th. e all enjoyed greatly having you and “r. Marshall with us. Cordially yours.
