WAYNE Survey
BRINGS FACTS
BEFORE PUBLIC.

The recent releasing of the Ne
gro Jewish survey made by Mrs.
Eleanor Papernor Wolf and Alvin
d Loving. who did their work
under the guidance Of the Wayne
University Graduate school. has
brought sharply into focus certain
facts which are worthy Of note.
The survey. which was completed
before the race riots OF June l943.
disclosed many facts about Jewish
Negro conflicts which were known
20 exist. It is the first in a series
OF studies on inter-group conflict
In Detroit.
Not Jewish-Negro Conflict
At the outset the study sets forth
the premise that although much
OF the violence in the June '43 riots
was in Negro Jewish neighbor-
hoods. the conflict was not between
these two groups but basically a
white-Negro conflict which might
have broken out. in any densely
populated part OF the city.
Among the points set forth by
the study are the following:
/. Jewish business does not have
q monopoly on Hastings. Oakland
or Warren. Negro business is IN
creasingly important in all three
areas
2. More and more Negroes are
developing buying habits similar
20 those OF the larger community,
and are therefore no longer forced
60 patronize Jewish merchants.
3. Jewish business doesn't move
into an area because Negroes are
alleged TO be easy marks as Gus
toners. They are there because
these are areas in which Jews for
merly lived.
I. Charge that Jews make
money out Of us then live and
spend their money over there"
seems TO be unfounded since all
merchants. whether Jewish or Ne
gro. who can AFFORD 10 do so, 1--we
elsewhere.
5. Stores with the greatest mix
ture OF costumers have the least
conflict.
6. Both Negro and Jewish mer-
chants in the Hastings area have
shown least satisfaction with Gus
toners. showing that the type OF
customer rather than his race de-
termines dissatisfaction.
The giving OF credit as a factor
In Negro Jewish conflict seems TO
be highly over-rated
8. Transiency Of customers has

shows the greatest conflict and the
greatest amount OF customer tran

Blood Infusions
In Quantities
Cut Casualties

ADMIRAL, KINKAID'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Philippines, Dec. CUP)
Medical officers of the Seventh
fleet disclosed that the use of large
quantities of whCle blood, prompt
ed by wartime emergencies, in the
treatment of severe shock cases had
produced highly successful results
among men wounded or injured in
combat.
Peace-time methods for treating
shock called for injection of pint
or quart of blood and the use of
larger quantities was rare. But
wounded men in the Southwest Pa
cific are being given from two to
six quarts in the initial treatment
and sometimes an additional two
to four quarts Of plaslna.
Countless lives have been saved
through this treatment. Many pa
tientS rally quickly from shock and
can undergo surgery soon after the
blood is given. even when the blood
is not administered until eight hours
or more after the patient was
wounded.
