Weaver to be Special Assii-' tant to the Administrator as Ad vrsor on Negro Relations of the United 'States Housing Authority. Regarded as one of the outstanding economists of his _ race and recognized as an expert in the low-rent housing field. Dr. Weaver has been advisor on Negro Affairs in the Department of the Interior for the last four years. In th's capacity he served also as consultant to the housing Divistgfttion, aiding in the development (v4 21 low-rent housing- projects for Negro slum dwellers. A native of Washington, D. C., Dr. Weaver attended the elemenaary and secondary schools of tris crty, after which he received his Bachelor's, Master's, apd Doctor's degrees in econnmi fr-nt^ TPnrv. ard university. He taught econom ies at Agricultural and Technical College in Greensboro, North Carolina, and was one of the founds ers of the Neirrn Tndno?i?inl T gue. ? Negroes- face an acute housing problem in eyery eity where they form art appreciable part of the population, Dr. JWeaver asserted today. "The most significant post-war social force among colored Americans has been their urbanization" he said. "The migration of Negroes from the South to northern and western cities has* been emphasized in the past;?The less spectacular movement in the South of Negroes from rural to urban areas has occasioned less publicity and comment. However, largely as a result o? these movements of population in practically every city of the United States where there is an appreciable Negro population, Negroes face an acute housing problem!1 "While the housing problem is for the m.ost part the result of low wages, in the case of colored persons there rs, in addition, a pe culiar scarcity of decent, low-rent shelter. Negroes,-as the most re_ in old, poorly designed and dilapidated buildings which ha e been discarded by other groups. . "In many cities colored fl'tlZCns" are further handicapped by legal restrictions and property covenants which artificially limit the ' supply of shelter. Obviously, a program designed to benefit lowincome persons must mn n a large measure with Negroes. "With the decentralization of the housing program under the United States Housing Authority, the need for including the Negro . population in the benefits will be so less than it has been in the sast. . ; "Achieving such inclusion, how- J iver, will be more difficult. Past j Mtperience of gov fern m e n t in hous-' ' ng has shown the need dfor plan- 1 ling for Negro participation from 1 he beginning. It is my hope that t will be instrumental in stimulat- i ng and facilitating such plan- J ?ing." _____ . : j In connection with planning. Dr. j Veaver has effected the appoirtt- ? nent of Negroes as members of ocal advisory staffs in several cites. In the field of construction, ' te has successfully advocated the | mployment of Negroes as archi- ' ects and engineers, and has devis- 8 d techniques to protect the inter-j 'St of Negro labor.
