Dick Russell of Georgia to ap- propriate $3,500,000,000 to move Ne- groes out of the South and poor White families into the South. Russell told his colleague that for some time he had been con- cerned about families which felt they had better economic oppor- tunities in other parts of the coun- try, and that if they wanted to) move, the government should help | them. Therefore he proposed that the| government furnish up to $1,500 per family for transportation and sus- | tenance if they wanted to move. | He also proposed a ‘“voluntary racial relocation commission” of three members to study the prob-| lem. i Russell said that this idea should apply to the West, North and East as well as the South. ! His only wol about the plan ) | said, was because the prospects for peace were brighter than they have been for three months. “Conditions internationally are better now than they were three months ago,” the President told Sen. Alben Barkley, Rep. John Mc- Cormack and other Democratic leaders. He was visibly irritated over a newspaper report that former Gov- ernor of California, Culbert Ol- sic rights protedted by law.
