of white districts. 1t would be
quite interesting for some unbias-
ed Investigator to give clear and
detailed account of the way in
which, for example, Willard, For
restville, and Doolittle Schools
in the Windy City have attained
their present complexion.
There is much voluntary segre-
cation among Negroes. 1t has de-
veloped independent churches,
strong lodges, race papers, good
insurance companies, and all
types of business and profess
sional enterprises. 1t has result
ed in the establishment of a num-
Der of good schools with many
teachers of the Negro race, 1t is
even one of the important factors
in the emergence of widely dis
tributed and fast growing litera-
ture.

representatives. They even give
a congressman. This vote would
be ineffective comparatively if
dispersed as minorities among
white majorities.
The massed neighborhood gives
the local business establishment.
With mass in the block, there
is a possibility of business estab-
lishment in the block. With the
group scattered throughout the
white population, local businesses
become very difficult to Negroes
White people generally, North
and South, have strong sense of
cohesion, They do not as a rule
give much patronage to the aver
age small business of another
race - Negro and Chinese. White
businesses in Negro neighbor-
hoods prosper; but generally e.
gro businesses in white neighhor-
hoods do not
Massed neighborhoods bring
about social organization. Social
organization is only necessary
when there is a considerable de
gree of concentration. Social or
ganization is very difficult when
there is not some concentration.
! No group, no leader. A man
can always test his leadership by
| looking over his shoulder. If
there is nobody behind him or
around him, he is not leading
anybody. Nearly all of our insti-
tutions have sprung from our
tendency to mass. Why are Phil
nader Smith College, Arkansas
Baptist College, and Shorter Col
lege all in Greater Little Rock?
Why is the A. M. and N. College
in Pine Bluff? Why is a great
Negro College very unlikely to
arise in Fort Smith?
Where are the majority of
great Negro churches located?
North and South? Where do
physicians, dentists, lawyers,
nurses, carpenters, masons, and
all other professional, semi-pro-
feSsional, skilled, and semi-skill-
ed persons arise to serve our
race? The Negro neighborhood is
very distinct element in Negro
prosperity and development,
Of course, as has been pointed
out, when the number element
grows out of proportion, it
arouseS fear which results in COM
pulSory segregation with those
attendant evils with which we are
all familiar. Compulsory segre-
cation occurs when a group resort
to legislation, to violence, or to
various types OF restrictive cove
nants to confine another group
to certain areas and institutions.
! Compulsory segregation is not
confined to the South. Where
voluntary segregation has not
worked, and where legal segrega-
ton has been unacceptable, not
only the well-known forms or
restrictive covenants but very
subtle (although nonethless rec
ognizable forms of compulsion)
have been exerted to draw the
white people out Of Negro dis
tricts and keep the Negroes out

VOLUNTARY SEGREGATION

The student of SOCIOLOGY
sooner or later runs across the
phrase consciousness of kind
1t is a name given to mans
sense of belonging to those that
are like him. This sense of SIM
ilarity and feeling of belonging
draw groups together. Since
there is no complete similarity
between individuals the detec-
ton of likeness with the conse-
quent sense of belonging may at
tack itself to various traits. The
trait of race is one such attract
ing cord.
Observation indicates that us
ually persons seek the society of
those of their own race. Within
the race other similarities arise
subdividing it further into various
groups. Similarities may be eth
er physical, mental, moral, or
spiritual.
In normal healthy commu-
nifty, Negroes seek to be with
their own. 1t is tradition IN
Indiana that the separate ele-
mentary schools were initiated by
a Negro named Gabriel Jones. 1t
is certainly a fact that the Negro
high school in Indianapolis, Indl-
ana, was established only after
a long, aggressive, and stubborn
campaign for it on the part of
the Negro group. Negroes IN
mixed universities seem to show
a general tendency to associate
with one another more than with
other racial groups.
This law of attraction toward
one person is not law of hostll-
ity toward another Persons
simply 60 freely toward their
own kind. There is a sense of
freedom in seeking such con-
facts. "A mutual although sub
conscious understanding seems
present. Sympathy, exchanges of
favors. and unasked kindnesses
are natural bond. Some unnat-
ural factor has to arise to pre-
vent this law of attraction from
operating,
Such unnatural factors and
complications arise when salts
factory housing, sanitary neigh
borhoods, adequate school build
ings, and other essential living
conditions are not on hand. The
Negro then seeks proper housing.
He looks for a good district, not
a white district. All conflict is
easily averted by allowing him
a living section fit for living.
Such a place is as essential for
the welfare of the community as
il is for his own. Voluntary seq
regation ceases to operate only
when it spells disaster. Housing
riots in various cities South and
North all illustrate this principle.
Voluntary segregation brings
certain advantages to Negroes.
The massed neighborhood gives
the massed vote. The black
wards in Chicago bring about
some alderman. They also con-
tribute some state senators and

To Help Vet

Discharged comrades of a 10
year-old Detroit soldier sentenced
TO % years for desertion in
Europe declared today they were
eager to testify for him.
The youth, Pvt. Henry Gluski,
is working out his term march
ing i'm circles in the prison at
Dupont Race Track, Brussels,
Belgium, according 10 his letters
to his parents, Hipolith and Mary
Gluski, 6717 Abingdon.
He also wrote that three bud
dies with him when he became
separated from Co. r.. 4llth Regi-
ment, last spring. and who re-
ceived similar sentences, had been
released after appeals.
SAW WHAT HAPPENED
IT saw what happened to
Henry" said discharged S/Sgt.
Samuel Weinstein, p, of 2200
Gladstone, decorated with the
Bronze Star and a Purple
Heart, who returned here Mon
day.
I'VE were on our way back
from the front, and Henry and
the other three riding in a jeep
got separated when we sudden
ly moved out of a town. When
they tell you to move you move,
you don't wait; and IL would
have taken lot OF luck IL he
had found us I'm the next three
weeks. We were jumping around
like a frog in frying pan.
PARENTS HEARTENED
81 think Henry didn't get a
square deal. I've been under
fire with him and he's not the
kind to desert. It's easy TO get
lost and hard to find your way
back"
Heartened by Weinstein's state
ment, Gluski's parents forwarded
an appeal to President Truman,
their last recourse after a plea
made to Rep. George A. Dondero
b the Alumni Association of
Mackenzie High School had failed.
Dondero had been informed by
the army that jurisdiction was in
ETO and the youths only hope
was clemency, which had already
been denied.

nounced yesterday. The Rev. Mr..
Calcote will succeed DR.. G. A. Will
son, who has left his position as
part time superintendent of Home
Missions for work IN the Synod of
Tennessee.
The executive secretary is a
new office in the Presbytery and
represents large expansion IN the
work of the Home Missions super
intendent, DR.. Grove said.
The Rev. Mr. Calcote will be
furnished with a full-time secre-

20 Year-Old Blond Enters
Fzier's Wife Death Case

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 16.-U.H
Police believed tonight that
Mary Lee Epes may have found
out about secret friendship car
ried on by her office-husband last
year in Louisiana and that do
mestic quarrel may have preced-
ed her death in their apartment
here on the night Of January 81.
1t. Samuel C. Epes, 20, son of
wealthy Richmond (Va.) indus
trialist, is charged with her death.
He has admitted burying her body
in a foxhole on the maneuver area
at nearby Fort Jackson.
Epes, handsome graduate of
Richmond University where he
was a student leader, was ques-
toned for several hours again
today by Sheriff T. Alex Heise.
The officer is held under guard
at the State Prison hospital re-
covering from a suicide attempt.
His story is that his attractive
wife died of an overdose of Sleep
ing tablets which she TOOK Volun-
tarily because she was i'll. But
an autopsy report said she died
of blows on the head after being
drugged. Epes claimed the
bruises were caused by her body
bounding around in the trunk of
his car when he transported her
from their apartment to the fox
hole burial.
The "other woman" definitely
entered the case today when ii
was disclosed that an unidentified
girl war worker-a 20-year-old
blonde-had been questioned at
Lake Charles, La. Epes spent
several months last year in the
Lake Charles area at Camp Polk.
Sheriff Henry Reid, Jr., said al

received numerous letters from
Epes in recent months. In his

COMMANDER LAUDS
HOME GUARD UNIT

A practice mobilization of WI
mington's company of the North
Carolina State Guard held Thurs
day night under simulated emer-
gency conditions by the Army S
Fourth Service command revealed
the units high degree of efficiency
Major Frederick Willetts, COM
mander of the battalion of which
the company is part, announced
yesterday.
Captain Leo Sykes, commanding
officer of the company, revealed,
in commenting on the efficiency
of relaying the signal by radio,
that the first man reached the
VIII. armory one minute after
the radio announcement at $40
p. m. and that 80 of the company's
total strength of A men were in
complete readiness in one hour and
three minutes after the call.
Each Guardsman had to be is
sued uniforms, arms, and field
equipment and prepare bed roll.
Capt. Sykes added that Mess Sgt.
M. D. Jacobs had completed all
arrangements for feeding the men
by that time. He also explained
that of the five absent members
of the company, two were at Fl.
Bragg and three were sick,
Other officers of the company
are First Lieutenant D. D. Up
church, executive officer, Second
C. T. Farrow, Supply
Officer, and First Sergeant Percy
L. Canady.
Rumors that the State Guard had
been modified because of the
escape of some German prisoners
from the local POW camp were
unfounded. FBI authorities denied
that any escape had taken place.
Capt. Sykes issued a call for ten
men preferably with military ex-
perience between the ages of 10
and so who are not subject to the
draft or on Federal payroll, ex-
planning that the authorized
strength of the company is now 81
men by reason of the recent as
signment of trucks to the Whining
ton unit by the Army.
