Negroes spoke out vigorously for the "freedom" thev con tended they won 100 years ago in places like Boise, Idaho and Fairbanks, Alaska, as well as Birmingham, Ala., and Dan ville, Va. "I do not favor complete in tegration if it includes inter marriage," said optometrist Sidney Rubenstein of Hams burg, Pa. "Our society is not yet ready for this." A majority of whites (119 of 144 questioned) said they fa vored some degree of integra tion ranging from limited to 1 complete. But 90 of those inter j viewed drew the line at social ' integration. Manv mentioned their opposition to intermar riage. Opposition to any form of in tegration was greatest in the Deoo South. .

A slight majority, North and South, called for Negro-white cooperation on the local level. The next highest group among those interviewed favored the course charted by the late Presi dent Kennedy, who was named often as the "best hope" of the Negro. A third group cited the continued militancy of the ra rial organizations. "Everyone talks about it but it's the young people and edu cation that are going to solve this problem," said Mallorv Carter, 52-year-old Negro who , moved to Portland, Ore., from 1 and other Negroes !
