 But there was little joy or relief in Washington.

239 Negro Police
Employed In
South

Chattanooga, Tenn. Nov. 4
Fifty four Southern cities now
have 279 Negro law-enforcement
officers, according to an annual
report released today by the
Southern Regional Council
1t said that employment of Ne
grb police Officers in southern
communities had shown steady
increase in the past year, which
saw eight cities and forty three
Negro police officers added to
the list. Of the latest total in
personnel, 248 are uniformed
policemen, % plainclothesmen and
eight policewomen
All interracial organizations in
the country have agreed that the
policy of hirin@ Ngro police offic-
ers in Southern cities has been
one of the largest factors in
lowering he crime rate of Negro
areas and in decreasing the like
lihood of racial friction and ten
sion. Tt also has been reported
as an excellent moral factor in
generally improving racial re-
lations.
The increase in the past year
is accounted for by the eight
cities which have recently adopt
ed the policy by three cities which
hIave appointed additional Ne
gro officers to their police forces.
The council reported that New
port News, Va, increased its Ne
gro policemen from four to five;
Chattanooga, Tenn. which had
three policewomen last year,
dropped one policewoman and
added five uniformed policemen,
and Houston, Tex, jumpted its
total of Ngro officers from six
to seventeen.

main the only two Southern
states in which no Negro police
men are employed, the Councils
survey showed. Florida leads in
the number of cities (eleven) en-
ploying Negro policemen and
Texas has a wide margin in the
humber Of Officers employed
sixty.
Alabama and South Carolina
have no major cities employing
Negro policemen, the report add
ed, and capitals OF all Southern
states except Alabama, Mississ-
ippi. Sbuth Carolia, Louisiana,
and Kentucky now use Negro
police.
An index to the rapid spread
of he practice of hiring Negro
police officers is seen in he fact
that of fifty such Southern cities
nine employed them before 1880,
seven between 1930-1939, eleven
between 1910 and 1874, and %
between 1916 and 1913.

through Kent and Sussex counties,
there are now treeless areas upon
which are poultry houses or truck
crops.
THE number of peach trees in
Delaware, for example, has declin-
ed SO percent in the past so years."
Dr. Bausman pointed out.
There were 2,50O.00O peach trees
alone at the turn of the. century in
the state. There are approximate
ly 100000 today, DR.. Bausman
said.
Apple Yield Dropping
Although he had no figures on
the decline of apple orchards thru
out Kent and Sussex, DR.. Bausman
indicated that the constantly drop
ping annual yield of apples was
proof enough of the same situa-
ton.
And why this year-by-year de-
cline in the output of what were
once the leading farm products of
Delaware?

can consumers have had much to
do with it," DR.. Bausman ex-
planned.
More people ate apples and
peaches in 1915 than they do now,
he said
The consumption of citrus fruit
in the past 20 years has been con-
stantly on the increase, until today
more people eat mOer oranges and
grapefruit than they do apples and
peaches.
In addition, nature has become
an~ipcTeasingly bitter enemy of the
fruit growers, year by year adding
new pests and pestilence to thwart
the farmer, the university official
said.
And so it has been that fruit
growers, beset by a disappearing
market and a hostile nature, have
turned to new sources of farm in
come by becoming poultry growers
or farming fresh vegetable and
truck crops for which there is a
ready market.
1.-The fruit growers in Delaware
are becoming discouraged" DR..
Bausman concluded.
