Nationwide Survey Reveals Urban Negroes Far Short Of Goal By HARRY FERGISOS lulled Press International 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 shows 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 (irst half of 1963 misled many persons into believ-! ing a major breakthrough had been achieved or was at hand. Between Mav 1 and Julv is there were demonstrations in 153 cities scattered through 30 states, most of them alona the Eastern Seaboard. But when quiet was re- siorea, most ot tne gains were limited and some of them ware only on paper. It appears 1863 win go aown m history as the year in which the Negro plowed and planted the fields of equality. It will take 10 years, perhaps longer, to reap the harvest. HERALD AND NEWS.

The UPI asked the Rev. Martin Lu ther King of the Southern Chris tian Leadership, James Farmer ot the Congress of Racial Equal ity and Boy Wilkins of the Na tional Association for the Advance ment of Colored People to desig nate the city or tow n which they 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. 25 City Survey Facts and figures 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 prefer not to live as neighbors with Negroes and if they can af ford it they move to the suburbs. Between 1950 and 1960 the white population of Chicago declined by 601,223; the Negro population in creased by 320,372, There arc many pepper and salt neigh borhoods where whites and Ne groes live together because they cannot afford to do anything else. 48 Formerly 51 interjection 1 12 13 14 I IB 16 17 I 13 19' ilO 111 12 13 14 15 " 16 17 '. 18 il r"! 2Q2l ' 22 23 ! 24 125 126 27 H 28" 29 30" 3f H 32 33 Umi mJ 34 35 ' 37 38 40 npi 42 143 144 45 46"748 49 5051 52 53 54 55 56 ' 57 58 J I I I 1 29 In Atlanta the Negro population! compromising about 40 per cent' of the total lives on one-fifth to: one-sixth of the residential land. In San Antonio, Tex., there is a development containing 75 hous es selling (or $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 Office: 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 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. OUROT1ST0RS Hospitals: It is difficult to be definitive about how (he Negro patient lares because too many cities have laws against indentify- 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 anions, especially in the North, are discriminating against them. Labor leaders con cede there is some truth in ft and President Ceorge Meany of the AFW.IO told Congress the other day it should pass a strong law to mop up those areas of discrimination whielt 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 tag lists of apprentice 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 de partment store in Houston does 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 neighborhoods. Public Hiring: Most of tlie 25 largest cities operate under Civil Service or fair employment ordi nances. There seems to be a 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 classification. Professional Opportunities: In tegration of the bar and medical associations is complete in 16 cit ies. The other cities vary. In Dal las the medical society is inte grated but the bar association is not. Negroes have their own law yers association in Houston. In St. Louis they have their own medical forum. Vocational Schools: In most large cities the Negro is well off, Houston gives vocational training in four of the five Negro high "Wow! Pipe THAT bathing suit! No sleeves!"

Smith Hughes School to Atlanta has 11 Negro students out ot 4.6U). Public Sehiwb: In the nine years since the Supreme Court decision two patterns have devel oped. One ts "segregation by area," meaning that many schtrab are predomtantSy Negro because they are located in Negro neigh borhoods. In WashiOfBB, IIS pub lic schools have more than JO per cent Negro pupils. Nineteen have more than SO per cent white stu dents. The other development is that in the 25 largest cities the percentage of Negro pupils con ststeotiy is larger than that of Negro teachers. Colleges; There is almost uni versal integration, but Negro stu dents usually are beaUy ta (he minority in both North and South. There are only about S Negroes in the University of Cincinnati which has a,H stadenis. Cleve land reports that John Carroll has IT Negroes in an enroUtnent ot 1,816. Inability to pay the taition and Jack of scholastic quantisa tions are the reasons most fre quently cited for the low percen tage of Negro students. SHIP TU 4-4151 "DENNIS THE MENACE" MONEY , , .
