Editor's note: The attention of the
nation and the world has been focused
on the fight over integration of
Negroes and white people in the
American South. With less fanfare
in recent years the Negro has been
working and fighting for equality in
the North. Following is the first of a
series of dispatches reporting how
the Negro has fared in three large
industrial cities of the North New
York, Chicago and Detroit.
By ROBERT ZIMMERMAN
United Press Correspondent
New York :U.R) The Negro
in the North has made strides
toward integration in the last 20
years that dwarf any event since
the emancipation proclamation.
He is being accepted in white
collar jobs his father would
never have dared apply for.
Guarantees of his right to enter
hotels and restaurants of his
choice are being written into
law. He is moving from seedy
neighborhoods onto the sunnier
sides of the street.
Yet every day of his life the
Negro in the North, like his
cousin in the South, swallows
heavy doses of prejudice and
discrimination.
New York prides itself on the
social harmony it has achieved.
It has absorbed waves of im
migration, and its profusion of
dialects and creeds and shades
of color epitomize the "melting
pot" concept of America.
Negroes, however, still live
for the most part in three dis
tinct parts of the city. No matter
how much money he has a
Negro cannot move into many
of the better apartment houses
and suburban neighborhoods.
He may work side by side
with a white man in an office
but chances are. he knows he
will never be promoted beyond
a certain level.
Curious Boundaries
His world ,is made up of curi
ous boundaries. City-run hospi
tals will let him in as a patient
but some private ones won't. He
can get a job baking bread but
is excluded by most bakeries
from driving trucks to deliver
it.
His children may go to a
school where there are only
Negroes although the New York
school system is officially "inte
grated." Since the middle of the last
century Negroes have been mov
ing north, sometimes at a
trickle, sometimes in a flood.
The largest migration has been
to such industrial centers as
New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Detroit. Once there,
the Negro most always settles
down in a "colored section" of
town.
To overcome the ghetto-like
concentration of Negroes in spe
cific areas has been one of the
Educational Video
Promoters Get Boost
Portland (U.R) Education
al television promoters have
been given a boost here when
the Portland school board voted
without dissent to turn over 10
rooms of a school building for of
fices and studios for Community
Television, Inc.
The group that has been at
tempting to establish an educa
tional television channel here
for two years was given the top
floor of the Failing school for
TV purposes.
School director James C. Yeo
mans said the donation of space
often, in other areas, has aided
the cooperative stations in get
ting financial aid from foundations.
Oregon Hopmen Defeat
Commodity Commission
Salem (U.R) Oregon hop
growers have voted down a com
modity commission for their
crop, according to J. R. Short,
director of agriculture.
Results of last week's referen
dum showed 72 ballots were cast
with 32 favoring the commission
and 40 opposed, Short said.
Approximately 63 per cent of
the total 1955 Oregon hop pro
duction was represented in the
vote, or 15,189 bales out of a
total production of 23,898 bales.
primary goals of such agencies
as the Urban League. Landlords,
banks and real estate agents
usually work together, openly or
secretly, to keep the complexion
of a neighborhood white or
black. A n t i - d i s crimination
clauses in public housing acts,
however, have broken down
many barriers.
New York law prohibits race
discrimination in any housing
development built with assist
ance of public funds or special
tax exemptions .Enforcement of
the law has not been easy, how
ever, and out of 20,000 apart
ment units built under such pro
visions only 60 are now occu
pied by Negro families.
Liberal-minded housing offi
cials are plugging for a law to
ban discrimination even in pri
vate housing but this is private
ly conceded to be a distant goal.
Better Understanding
Hulan Jack, the Nego elected
borrough president of Manhat
tan two years ago, maintains
that total integration in housing
would be taken in stride by cos
mopolitan New Yorkers. "Peo
ple from all parts of the world
have come here and created an
environment that lends itself to
ward better understanding," he
Safeway Profits
In Slight Decline
San Francisco (U.R) Safe
way Stores, Inc., has reported ;
that net profit after taxes last j
year totaled $13,621,803 or $3.25 1
per share after payment of pre
ferred dividends.
This compared with $13,983,
771 or $3.52 per share in 1954.
Cash dividends on last year's
3,492,129 shares of common
stock were $2.40 per share, the
same as the previous year.
In their annual report to
stockholders, Board Chairman
Milton L. Selby said the decline
in earnings occurred during the !
first 36 weeks of 1955.
says. "What people have done
for the Negroes here in the last
10 or 15 years was possible be
cause a lot of. groundwork had
been laid by minorities that
came before."
Another New York law pro
hibits race discrimination in em
ployment. While this, too, has
been hard to enforce Negroes
have succeeded in cracMng la
bor and professional barriers to
a remarkable degree. It has
been accomplished by economic
boycott in some cases, by assist
ance of the anti-discrimination
law in others, and in many cases
by sheer persistence and good
example.

Pennsylvania Railroad Strike Action Delayed
Washington (U.R) The

The board said the union

its switchboards.
The pattern of integration j
and segregation is a constantly
changing one. "We've come a
long way," one Negro leader
said, "but we still have a long
way to go." Some northern Ne
groes are fearful that racial agi
tation in the South may cut back
some of the gains they have
made in being accepted in the
North.
"The principle that there shall
be no discrimination must be
upheld," Hulan Jack told a re
porter the other day. "Men of
good will in the North and the
South should sit down together
and work this thing out. Inte
gration is a way of living with
each other, not telling people
how to live.
"This is a great period. But!
we can either emerge as great I
statesmen or go down in dis
aster." (Tomorrow: How the Negro
