housing situation in this district
talked to many Negro workers and
shopkeepers. When l asked them if
the Negroes were not little resent

made so often the subject for so

prising reply invariably was, "The
negroes don't know that they have
been investigated. They never hear
about what is written in the housing
surveys"
There is type of Negro, how
ever, who is well aware of the in
terest Of the white social worker in
his miserable habitations. This is the
successful Negro business man and
property owner, the landlord and the
store owner who pattern after the
white bourgeois class. An investi-
