THE NEGRO IN CONN. COLLEGES

Although there are over 100 Negroes in the colleges and uni versailles of Connecticut, accord ing to replies to a recent ques- tionnaire circulated by the Con. Inter-racial Commission, this number represents only four in every thousand of the student body. Approximately thirty of every thousand residents of Connecticut are Negroes, ac- Cording to an announcement of the Commission.
 This means that there are seven and one-half times as many whites as Negroes, in pro- portion to the population, at Connecticut institutions of high CT learning. There are about fifteen white college students for every thousand white peo- pie in Connecticut, but there are only two Negroes in college for every thousand Negroes.
 The announcement lists five reasons for the low percentage of Negroes among Connecticut college students:
 l. Fewer Negroes than whites have the money to support their children in college.
 ?. Many young Negroes are unable to work their way thru college because of financial needs at home.
 3. Some Negroes, especially those who have come to Con-

JEWS MORE LIBERAL THAN PREJUDICED

New York: There are many interesting revelations contain ed i'll a new book entitled Roots of Prejudice' written by Gordon w. Allport, liar ward University professor and a graduate student M. Kram- CT.
 The survey indicated that Jewish people as whole have less prejudice that is based on race and color than other groups. The Protestants have a higher rate of prejudice and the Roman Catholics possess the greatest proportion of prejudice.
 Following this finding is the important observation that mere racial contact is not a panacea against race preju- dice, even though the people involved are on the same eco- ncmic and social basis.
 Or that because a group IS exposed to certain prejudices itself, 1t does not follow that they will be more tolerant a. bout others whom they know suffer.
 It was likewise revealed in this study that prejudices are first crystalized in youngsters between the ages of 6 and 1o. That it is in this period that they absorb certain miscon- captions that later crystalize into hard and fast prejudices.

LOCAL BALL CLUB
 COULD USE NEGRO STARS

John Perini, operator of the Boston Braves baseball team, would be making a smart move if he too would sign up a few Negro players and farm them to our local club. After all the draw from the 16,0O0 colored in greater Hartford
 would justify the move and more important our youngsters would get a badly needed mo- rale boost besides having some thing else to occupy their minds other than dancing, and swing music careers where but a few people ever receive justifable returns for their years of study.

dents in colleges in universities as would be proportional to their numbers in Connecticut. This is probably due to selectiv- ity in the Japanese relocation policy and to the presence of foreign students here on schol- arships from far eastern coun- tries.
 Among the 27S7 faculty mem bers of the colleges and univer- sities in Connecticut there are only three Negroes. There are p Chinese and Japanese facul- ty members, all in Yale Univer- sity's Far Eastern and Russian Studies. The 333 teachers in business and vocational schools are all white.

CARPES EDGE GOLDEN BEARS

The Carpe Diem, playing for the North End Community Gen. ter, took a exciting game away from the Golden Bears of the Independent Social Center, in the closing moments of a hec- tic battle.
 "Howie" Howard Johnson was the high scorer for the Carpes and Jimmy Black for the Golden Bears.
 In the first half, the score was 12-8, favoring the Carpes. Final score, 31-29.

necticut from the South, are not adequately prepared for college work.
 4. Many Negroes have been discouraged from entering col lege because opportunities to make use of higher education have been uncertain.
 5. Some institutions, in spite of considerable progress in at titudes, may still be reluctant to accept Negro students.
 Negroes in Professional Schools
 One in every hundred grad uate and professional students is Negro, as opposed to only one in every five hundred un- dergraduates. It would appear that many of the graduate and professional students had their undergraduate training in the less expensive colleges of the North.
 The Connecticut Inter-racial Commission, an agency of the State of Connecticut which seeks to promote equal oppor- tunities for all residents of Connecticut regardless of race, religion or national origin, sent it's questionnaire to 86 educa- tional institutions in the state. Answers were received from 61 of them, including the largest colleges. l
 Business and vocational insti- tutions reported a higher per centage of Negroes than the colleges, but even in these insti- tutions the percentage of Me- gro students is only half the percentage of Negroes in the population of Conn. Those vo- cational schools which had an swered a similar questionnaire a year ago do not show an in- crease in their Negro enroll ment proportional to the in crease in Negro population.

Survey S Rates
City Attorney Holds
Legality Of Gront
Is Matter for Courts

The Alexandria Hospital Board is
willing to accept INDECENT care rates
recommended in the recently COM
pleted hospital survey, City Man
ager Nicholas A. Colasanto disclosed
today.
The survey, which was highly
critical of financial and administra-
tive conditions at the hospital, rec
commended an 1881 per diem rate,
plus a $4,000 grant of the city. The
original hospital request was an
1881 rate, plus 100000 grant.
Up to Courts, Pancoast Says.
Negotiations between the hospital
and the city broke down when the
City Council Hospital Committee
failed to recommend payment of
any grant. contending that under
the law the city could not con-
tribute to corporation controlled
wholly or partially by religious in
terests. Membership in the Alex
andria Hospital corporation largely
is made up Of representatives from
various city churches.
When informed of the new hos
pital offer, City Attorney Joseph M.
Pancoast said he felt the legality of
"a city grant to the hospital should
be determined by the courts He
said this could be done by filing a
test suit and added that he would
not be willing to recommend the
grant until court decision had
been rendered.
The hospitals new offer is sched-
uled for consideration at tomorrow
nights City Council meeting.
Whitton Resignation Accepted.
Today the Hospital Board met in
special session and accepted the
resignation OF Robert G. Whitton
as administrator Mr.. Whitton was
the chief target of criticism in the
hospital survey which was conducted
by Dr. j. r.. Clemmons, administra-
tor of Roosevelt Hospital, New York,
and his staff

Agencies in an effort to settle the
dispute between the city and the
hospital over ind:gent care rates.
