Discrimination Protest Over Housing Policies Criticizes Eisenhower Admin
National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing accuses the administration of failing to fulfill civil rights goals in federal housing. The letter to President Eisenhower denounces Dr. Frank Horne's dismissal from the Housing and Home Finance Agency and warns of retreat from race equity in urban renewal. The group blames policy changes, removal of racial relations officers, and budget maneuvers for undermining minority housing initiatives.
