Dr. Wilson said he believes this
will be the first such effort to in-

, effects.

DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas hous-
ing developer seeks to prove that
private industry can solve the mul-
tiple problems of Negro housing
without help from subsidies.
He is using a choice housing
location as a, testing site for his
belief.
The developer Is James Smith,
a white man who for years has
been a leading builder of homes
for whites. >
The only Dallas Negro housing
project comparable to Smith's was
made possible by substantial aid
from, a number of civic leaders.
Smith has no such aid.
In Dallas, as almost every-
where most Negroes live in their
own communities within the city
either from custom or desire.
But the only way these com-
munities can expand is to take
over Negro-white fringe areas. All
too frequently the homes in these
areas are rundown and unattrac-
tive, and in undesirable locations.
Ope prospective customer, ac-
customed to living on land often
flooded, stood on the hill where
Smith's development is located
and exclaimed, the Dallas News
reported: "
"But where will the floods come
from?"
The site is one of the most beau-
tiful in Dallas County. It is a
picturesque* wooded hill with a
sweeping view of air downtown
Dallas, about 6 miles Aaway.
The site was selected because
most of its boundaries for de-
cades had been Negro property,
One white family, although
aware that the project is for
Negroes, sought to purchase a
house, Smith said.
A few Negroes ha,ve objected to
the all-Negro status of the develop-
ment, but these definitely are a
small minority, Smith reported.
The developer has sold 160
homes in 8 months. He-plans 1,200
homes with a shopping center.'
The area iB fully developed with
all utilities and paved streets.
Houses sell at $8,250. They have
monthly payments of $60, includ-
ing interests principal, insurance
and taxes;
Smith'said that for many buy-
ers this represents no increase in
•current housing expense, since
they .paid - that much rent for
homes that are little " more than
shacks.
The Internal Revenue Service
has ruled that a guitar made of
plastic doesn't sound like a real
mUsical instrument and therefore:
is not subject to. the manufac*.
hirer's qpcise tax. as such.
