Limited gains made by Negroes
By Harry Ferguson
UPI Staff Writer
The urban Negro in the United
States has made limited gains
toward equality this year but still
is far short of his goal.
A survey by United Press In
ternational of the nation's 25 larg
est cities skows that it is improb
able, if not impossible, that 1963
will be the year of decision in
the Negro fight for absolute equal
ity. The tempo of Negro demon
strations in the first half of 1963
misled many persons into believ
ing a major breakthrough had
been achieved or was at hand.
Between May 1 and July 19
there were demonstrations in 153
cities scattered through 30 states,
most of them along the Eastern
Seaboard. But when quiet was -e-
stored, most of the gains were
limited and some of them were
only on paper. It appears 1963
will eo down in history as the
year in which the Negro plowed
and planted uie lieias ot equawy.
It will take 10 years, pernaps
longer, to reap the harvest.
Negro leaders are not publicly
claiming major victories. The
UPI asked the Rev. Martin Lu
ther King of the Southern Chris
tian Leadership, James Farmer
of the Congress of Racial Equal
ity and Roy Wilkins of the Na
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People to desig
nate the city or town which Uiey
felt was dealing with the prob
lem in the best way. All declined
to reply, inviting the conclusion
that they were dissatisfied with
conditions everywhere.
Facts and fieures presented
here represent conditions in the
nation s 25 biggest cities and may
not be valid in terms of all the
Negroes in the nation. Here is a
breakdown of how the urban Ne
gro stood at the halfway mark
of 1963:
Housing: No . major Negro
gains since the UPI conducted a
survey a year ago. Everywhere
the pattern is the same: Whites

with Negroes and if they can af
ford it they move to the suburbs.
Between 1950 and I960 the white
population of Chicago declined by
601,223; the Negro population in
creased by 320.372. There are
many "pepper and salt" neigh
borhoods where whites and Ne
groes live together because they
cannot afford to do anything else.
In Atlanta the Negro population
compromising about 40 per cent
of the total lives on one-ruth to
one-sixth of the residential land.
Jn San Antonio, Tex,, there is
a development containing 75 hous
es selling for $22,000 and up. It
advertises that it is the only in
tegrated housing development in
the nation. So far, no whites have
chosen to live there.
Public Officei The Negro does
fairly well in appointive jobs, but
not so good in elective offices.
San Antonio, San Diego, Cincin
nati, Memphis and New Orleans
have no Negroes in elective jobs.
The Negro fares best in New
York where he has a president
of Manhattan Borough, several
city councilmen and a Congress
man, Adam Clayton Powell.
Public Accommodations: Much
progress for the Negro has been
made in this field. The bus prob
lem has almost ceased to exist.
There has been a quiet and or
derly integration of swimming

in urban areas
pools, parks and golf courses in
most cities. But there has been
no great Negro rush to use such
facilities. There has been only a
small and token integration of
barber shops and beauty parlors,
but the Negroes seem to prefer
to take their patronage to busi
nesses run by members of their
own race.
Hospitals: It is difficult to be
definitive about how the Negro
patient fares because too many
cities have laws against indentlfy
ing persons by race or color. The
10 denominational hospitals in
Minneapolis say patients, doctors
and nurses are completely inte
grated. In Memphis one of the
three large city hospitals is
staffed entirely by Negroes and
treats only Negroes.
Job Opportunities: Negroes com
plain labor unions, especially in
the North, are discriminating
against them. Labor leaders con
cede there is some truth in it,
and President George Meany of
the AFL-CIO told Congress Uie
other day it should pass a strong
law to "mop up those areas of
discrimination which still persist
in our own ranks. Negro lead
ers complained about the Elec
tricians Union in Philadelphia,
Cleveland and San Diego. Candid
labor leaders say that most un
ions have long lists of apprentice
acif ic Power & Light Company
of United States, but he's still
applications and Negroes are not
on them. Other job opportunities
vary widely. All major depart
ment stores in Washington have
Negro clerks; only one major !
partment store In Houston docs so.
Jail Treatment; St. Louis, Bos
ton and Atlanta index prisoners
by color, but no other cities do
so. Negro prisoners are segregat
ed in the jails of Atlanta, New
Orleans, Houston and Cincinnati.
Negro leaders voiced few com
plaints about police departments
but did criticize the activities of
individual policemen in some cas
es.
Churches; The area in which
there has been the least trouble.
However, there has been no wide
spread integration of worshippers
because Negroes prefer to attend
Negro churches in their own neigh
borhoods.
Public Hiring: Most of the 25
largest cities operate under Civil
Service or fair employment ordi
nances. There seems to be ten
dency to keep the number of Ne
groes on the public payroll in di
rect ratio to the percentage of
Negroes in the population. There
is a heavy percentage of Negroes
in such categories as laborers and
garbage collectors. All cities re
porting agree there are fewer Ne-
goes in the white collar category
than In the laborer dasit teat ion.

yers' association in Houston. In
St. Louis they have their own
medical forum.
Vocational Schools: In most
large cities the Negro is well oti.
Houston gives vocational training
in lour of the five Negro high
schools. New Orleans has a voca
tional Institution which is integrat
ed, but the private vocational
schools are segregated. Smith-

Negro students out of 4.618.

decision two patterns have devel
oped. One is "segregation by
area," meaning that many schools
are predominantly Negro because
they are located in Negro neigh
