Gently In summarizing before the

by the Milwaukee Journal and
the Omaha World Herald for these
two essentially white markets"
He also presented findings on
family income, savings, education
and magazine and newspaper
leadership Of Negroes in the three
eastern cities.
Buying Habits Differ
Whereas In Washington, ST. OF
Negroes were found to buy their
groceries at Safsway stores. in
Baltimore and Philadelphia they
deal primarily with independents.
A 4 + stores are second In number
of Negro customers In Baltimore
and American stores second in
Philadelphia. The white" studies
In Milwaukee and Omaha had
given hrst preference to neiRhbor-
hood independent" grocery stores.

ranked third among coffee brands
in Milwaukee and fourth In
Omaha, Is given n definite prefer
ence by Negroes in Baltimore and

in Baltimore and about 20@o in
Philadelphia. An average of one

Country on a Spree

CkSICAGO-TO the wanderer through the Mid lands these days-and in most ways they typical of the nation as whole-the country seems to be on spree-figNratively speaking, of course.
 Everywhere people are celebrating the release from war, though they would not be conscious of If you put 1t to them exactly like that. The Amer ican way to celebrate Is to out and spend There's plenty of loose money, and it's going where ually put it in normal times-into good times and vacations and gadgets and things we've been without long time and think we just must have because we are geared to convenient living. Where these not available the "hot" money finds substitutes and at steep prices.
 So the stores crowded and able to sell most anything and the night spots crowded, whether they be fancy ones in the cities glorified juke joints in the smaller towns just plain juke joints. So, too are the hotels everywhere, booked up days and days ahead just in the war There's no let-up
 As traveller, you get the impression of nation on the move restlessly And in the larger cities you surging up and down the streets and through the stores and the pleasure places of one sort another
 Another sign of normalcy is that peculiarly Amer ican institution, the convention Conventions go ing everywhere-people wearing those badges with their names them, and becoming friendly and confidential short acquaintance. This is another excuse to get away for a few days to some other place, to spend some money, to acquieSce in few resolutions written by somebody Olways handy to write resolutions about the state of the nation and business deplorng continued government restrictions demanding the restoration of free enterprise.
 It all partakes of spree in the respect that things have started back to normal it is an Amer ican habit for those who make profit out of this state-and that is quite substantial nunber-to demand more and more of it. Thus the cry for shaking off all restrictions to be let alone by gov- errment and everybody else.
 This all has It's impact on politics. From what is going on politically in the country in primary
