Berry, executive secretary of the Portlund Urban league and instructor in sociology at Portland State college, in a talk before a combined meeting of (he four local chapters of Beta Sigma Phi, women's cultural and educational society. The meeting held at the west Salem City Hall Wednesday night, was attended by over 80 members of the sorority. In speaking to the group on "Happiness Through Understand Ina." the sDeaker pointed out that not only did the lack of em ployment affect the wage earn ing capacity of the minority races in the United Slates, but that it also affected their ability ' to feed their children and to adaquetly provide for them in housing and clothing. He laid hi (hit forced manv families to live In ilum districts, and out of Mich slums were created many social diseases. He said that children in Amer ica are brought up, consciously or unconsciously by their parents, to think of Negroes and other minority races as Inferior. "Such expressions as 'Chinimin'i chance,' nigger In a woodpile,' 'jew down,' and 'Indian giver,' all lead the child to have a con torted opinion of the minority races," he said. "Also, adult re fcral to certain races as chink, jap, coon, kyke, and the like creates in the' child at a vecy young age an entirely wrong im pression." Stereotypes were also criticized by the speaker. The protrayal of a Negro as always strumming a banjo, sitting on the bank of Ihe Mississippi dangling his feet in the Missouri mud, being lay and stupid, and so forth tends to give the child Ihe wrong im pressions of various races before he has even had a chance to meet any member of a minority race. Such programs as lleulah, Amos and Andv, and Rochester on the Jack Benny program were de cried by Berry as programs of the stereotype nature. Berry felt that tne texi doors In the primary schools also help ed the child to form race pre judices. He claimed that the Ne gro, if mentioned at all in early By DAVE CROMWELL American historv. wa nilhnr slave, or lazv. nr m villain Thn great Negroes in American his tory, sucli as Ihe one that laid out Washington, D. C, or Ihe one that .mivented the cotton gin never got credit for it in the history books, according to Berry. In the c asp nF Ihp pnltnn gin, Berry claimei' that a Negro inventca it, but that Whitney, because he was the Negro's mas ter, got credit for the. invention. Movies and novels were also brought in for eritisism by Berry. He claimed that when Negroes or mcmhprs nf nihpi minni;t., were brought into the picture,' they were cither butlers, maids, villains, or made to Innlt 'Wn.,, and slimy." Berry thought llrnt radio and television were not so bad in their portrayal of the minority races, but that many newspapers emphasized the fact that the person involved was of a ,inin race. Such usage as "John Jones, Negro. . . " conimliipii n.i that crime brings ill-feeling for the race, instead of for the indi vidual as it should be. He claim ed that sport sections were the worst offenders in the category of singling out an individual as a member of a certain race. But Berry primarily critized the news service, such at As sociated Presi and United Press. He thoueht that the should carefully censor their re- leases. Herrv concludod hv S.ivin0 hp uiun i see wny tne Kremlin re sorted to lies regarding race re- lation propaganda. He claimed j that all they would have to do is observe how Americans treat- i ed their minority races.
