A Harlem site condemned for
housing as part of the Delano
Village housing project, has been
approved by the city’s Housing
and Redevelopment Board to
erect a community service cen
ter.
"
Officials ot the City Mission
Society announced that the
Board had approved plans to
build a new $812,000 Minisink

on the site, on Lenox Ave., be
tween 142nd and 143rd Sts., to
replace the brownstone center at
348 Convent Ave.
The Mission Society said that
tne new center, which will oc
cupy about two-thirds of the now
vacant site, which once housed
the famed Cotton Club and the
Golden Gate Ballroom, - will
serve as headquarters for the
expanded program of resources
and training to be conducted by
the Society in Harlem churches

Long Vacant
The site has been vacant, but
cleared, for several years and
was part of the Title I. Delano
Village project. Plans of the
vacant site were never approved

plans call for increased office
and classroom facilities as well
as a combination gymnasium-
auditorium with stage for sports,
cadet corps training, group per
formances, meeting rooms, little
theatre, craft shops, and other
facilities in a two-story brick
and cinder-block building.
L The Society is paying $212,000
for the building site and the
structure is expected to cost
them another $600,000. Construct
ion on the building is expected
to begin within the .iext three
months, a Society spokesman

UL Director Demands City Take
Action To Avoid Violence In NYC
at the Negroes are registered to
vote.
Charging that - the days of
gradualism are over in New York
City, Dr. Edward S. Lewis, exec
utive director of the Urban Lea
gue of Greater New York, last
week appealed to the city to
launch “a crash cijtil rights ef
fort to avert rtcju violence,"
which he eaid. if R developed,
“the city could never recover
from.’’
Dr. Lewis appealed for the fol
lowing actions now in New York
City:
A petition to Mayor Wagner to
increase the budget of the city’s
Commission on Human Rights.
Demands that the City Plan
nlng Commission implement the
year-old “open city” philosophy
and concept advocated by the
Mayor.
An immediate meeting of the
mass communications media In
New York City because of their
current stressing of sensational
ism and giving too much cover
age to extreme racial national
istic organizations.
At the same time Dr. Lewis, to
addressing some 400 persons at a
$25-a-plate luncheon in his honor
last Thursday at the Hotel Roose
velt, said the League was prepar
ed to initiate a mass registration
of the job skills and capabilities
of Negroes.
Vote Drlvs
Louie E. Martin, deputy chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, urged Negroes to
take greater advantage of the bal
lot, asserting that far too many
civil rights leaders fall to realize
that registration and voting are
the key to a permanent change
in the social order.
Noting that of 10 million Ne
groes of voting age In thecountry,
less than 5 million are registered,
Martin said that in cities where
Negroes register and vote heavi
ly, they are able to demand
strong protection of the laws and
to see that police power is not
abused and civil rights is enforc
ed. He noted that even in New
York City, less than 60 per cent
The luncheon honored Dr. Le
wis for his 20 years of service to
the Urban League and proceeds
were used to establish the Ed
ward S. Lewis Fund “for com
munity action in race relations.”
Stanley H. Lowell, chairman of

Righto, presented Dr. Lewis wjti(
the city's Medal of Honor for dis
