our readers as the executive secre-

his present position he was for four
years instructor in sociology and
social problems at Wayne univer-

precedent by being the first Wayne
instructor to employ a race man as
his student assistant.
That Mr.. Anderson has broad So

Before entering the university,
Mr.. Anderson worked at variety

ing Authority. This democratic
employment practice has made for
high degree of efficiency. That 1t
has created q remarkable type Of
morale and cooperation among en-.
ployees was the consensus Of both
Negro and white ofiicisls.
MIXED TENANCY ALSO works
harmoniously In the Pittsburgh
projects There are, Of course, oc.
casional ructions between tenants
as there would be wherever human
beings Of any race live together. In
one instance q Negro family was
asked to move. In another. where
whites were causing trouble they
were dealt with similarly. The
many social conditions which made
mixed housing q reality in Pitts
burgh I'm coming back to In q few
weeks.
On the other hand, one sees no
Negroes In platform jobs on the
Pittsburgh buses and streetcars. In
this respect Detroit IL on the bright
side OF the ledger. II indicates that
we are making some progress to-
ward our goals-that in one respect
we've gone beyond Ypsilanti. Hun
dreds Of thousands OF Detroit's
citizens daily see Negroes In respon-
sible jobs. Each day they entrust
their own and their children's
safety to Negro motormen and bus
drivers. This is all the more re-
markable when one realizes that
very few municipal Transportation
companies have upgraded Negroes
to responsible positions. A conflict
over this issue Is now boiling In
Philadelphia. Another Is expected
to break In Washington.
This unusual situation about De.
troit where Negroes have gotten q
crack at local transportation Jobs
