Archbishop Cooke, speaking on tele- vision made an assessment of Proj- ect Equality, a New York archdtoce- san enterprise which places the pur- chasing power of religious organiza- tions behind a drive for fair employ- ment practices. The program insists that all firms doing business with participating religious jurisdictions maintain a strict policy of non-dis- crimination in their hiring and pur- chasing procedures.

Sullivan (NC News Service) Washington — At least 500,000 homes and apartments for the poor, and two million more for other .Amer- icans must be built each year if the nation is to meet the housing needs of all Its people, the National Com- mission on Urbans Problems has said. The commission chaired by former Illinois Sen. Paul Douglas, made the recommendation public Dec. 15. The six-part report Is nearly as large as that of Otto Kermcr's Nation- al Commission on •Civil Disorders. And while It is not so cooiprehenslve —Douglas' commission concentrated primarily on housing and related matters—it provides miacrt of the nuts-and-bolts information* needed to begin implementing the Kemer Re- port's recommendations. The Kemer Report called for con- struction of 800,000 low and moderate- income housing units dureng the next year, and six million over the next five years. Douglas' group, while concerned with immediately alleviatirag the hous- ing problem of the nation's poor, directed the major share of its at- tention toward finding ways of keep- ing the housing problem solved. Not only has housing For the OOOT been inadequate In the past, but crash programs, or sudden spurts in build- ing, do not contribute to a real solu- tion, said the report \The past has been characterized by Inadequate programs with low pri- orities, with widely vacillating sup- port from the Congress, carried out by a fractionalized industry on the sufferance of a largely Indifferent or on occasion hostile bureaucracy,\ it said. In addition to an outright lack of housing, the report estimated that there aTe seven million substandard homes which must be replaced or re habilitated, and another four million which are severly overcrowded. \About a third of the families in the nation cannot buy or rent decent housing at market rates by paying a reasonable proportion of their in- come,\ the report said. The commission, however, noted that it Is not easy—or sufficient — just to provide money to build more homes. In order to do so efficiently, to make them available to all persons who need them, and to make it pos- sible to continue building enough homes to meet the need, the com- mission recommended the following: • Open housing laws in the 28 states which now lack them, in all cities and all urban counties. • Simplified, and quicker-acting federal programs, and long-term fi- nancing of major programs. // We light many things all year long but nolhinggives us a bigger thrill than the stars we light in the eyes of children, and some grown-ups F toe; this lime of year.\ Keddy Killcwatt (and his 2546 co-workers at RG&rE) ROCHESTER GAS AND ELECTRIC M<;HTS TO SHOP FOKMWS Vlni)(la\ thru Satunla> >lM>TO\Y\ .Ml, 9:()0 <:I'L\KK-KIIN;K AM) 1MTTSIOKO I'vni, n.on 9:30 IF YOU'RE STILL IN DOUBT A Forman Gift Certificate is always welcome!
