Report Aired by
Eastern DoilieS


91-page report on segregation In
the nations capital handed Pres
ident Truman by a fact-finding
committee Of 81 civic leaders from
all parts Of the country on Dec.
10, has already drawn editorial
comment from the white daily
papers throughout the country
The survey, a scathing denuncia-
ton Of the deep-rooted segrega-
tory practices against Negroes,
boldly charged that aggregation
was not planned by the poor
whites in the lower income brack-
cts, but by the recognized leaders
Of the community as a matter OF
good business"
The New York Times Dec. II
editorial backed this underlying
belief and proposed that reform
Of injustices existing in Washing
ton should have q high priority In
any federal program of civil rights
legislation"
The Times believed that the
nations capital ought TO be a
shOw-place. not merely Of q monu-
mental architecture but Of demo-
cratic virtues and practices -
those intangible structures with
out which the marble front Of the
republic means little" It recalled
that the Presidents COMMITTEES
on Civil Rights presented the
facts q year ago, and that the re-
port Of the National Committee
on Segregation in the Nations
capital, reaffirmed these facts and
found that "interracial difficulties
in Warrington do not arise in the
field of spontaneous relation
ships"
The arguments made for seq
regatioA In the old south are not
valid in Warrington, which is OF
ought to be, not q southern, north
ern, eastern or western city, but q
national city. Its streets, parks
and public buildings belong to all
Of US; each Of US, directly or in
directly, helps support most Of its
working population and each OF
US should have equal rights with
in its boundaries. There is q suit
able field here for national legis-
lation, against which no specious
plea of states rights can be
brought"
On the side Of the opposition,

ObIectiVity In the most recent
report on race segregation In

on the grounds that such quail

That may be, but their absence
tends TO weaken the value Of the
report as a helpful contribution
TO improvement of race relation

The capital daily took a dubious
view Of the charge that the color
line in Washington has become
more firmly fixed than in Wood
row Wilson's day"
This report, like 1t predecessor,
completely discards gradualism.

assumption, the causes Of this
