White Blood Infusion
Will Absorb Negroes
By the Associated Press

BOSTON, Aug. 21.-A University
of Pennsylvania sociologist says that
it@just isnltsaso> that ~theaAzaer ericaaal
Negro Wiz gradually disappear
through the infusion of white blood.
william M. Kephart, in report
to be published Monday in the
American Sociological Review, says
some scientists expect that in due
course there will be no Negro prob
lem because there will be no Ne
groes."
These scientists maintain. Mr..
Kephart says, that Negroes will
gradually become lighter and lighter,
by virtue of the infusion of white
blood, and by preferential mating
among Negroes themselves. and fl
nally will have disappeared as a
minority group
Mr.. Kephart contends, however,
that "miscegenation between Negro

nificant.'
The amount of white blood be-
ing infused into the Negro today,
he says, lis probably negligible in
sofar as the Negro becoming any
lighter is concerned"
He reports that the principal In
fusion of white blood took place in
Colonial times, when "the pattern
of the white plantation owner and
his Negro concubine was evidently
culturally accepted. From then on,
miscegenation between Negro and
white became less and less"
Mr.. Kephart discounts the pro-
gressive Tightening of skin through
the mating of light-toned Negroes.
These, he notes, are generally
privileged economically and follow
the familiar white pattern of hav-
ing lower birth rate than do the
lower income, darker members OF

Car Price Increases
Quadrup|e Wage Rise.
Reuther Declares
By the Associofed Press

DETROIT, Aug. 21.-Walter Reu-
ther said today that automobile
companies will collect nearly fo1r
times as much money. under recent
price increases as they will pay out
in 1948 wage boosts.
The CIo United Auto Workers
president said hes based his state
ment on figures given out by the
companies themselves. 92o-$ n ,.ss.ss
These figures prove beyond dis
pute," Mr.. Reuther asserted, that
the claims of those companies that
recent wage increases are RESPONSE
BILE for increases in automobile
prices are completely without foun-
dation"
Mr.. Reuther said he analyzed re-
ports of five. major companies-Gen-
eral Motors. Chrysler, Studebaher
Nash and Kaiser Frazer. The Ford
Motor Co. was not included.
They showed, he said. that the
companies would reap S502, 100000
in additional revenue compared
with increased wage costs of $751;
100000.
The labor leaders said manu-
facturers try to rationalize their in
creases also on the basis of in
creased material costs. But higher
material costs. when traced back,
are found to be the result of
similar profit greed by suppliers, "
he added.
The five companies he surveyed,
Mr.. Reuther said, made an average
net profit of 289 per cent during
the first six months of this year.
They could have absorbed the en-
tire third postwar round of wage
increases, he said, and still have
made 244 per cent return on their
stockholders investment.

Bids on Bay Tunnel

BY the Assosiossd Press

BALTIMORE. Aug. 81. - Steven
son Mason, general counsel Of the
Baltimore Steamship Trade Associa-
tion, today urged that public bids
be asked on both a Bay bridge and
a tunnel connecting the eastern and
western shores of Maryland.
The State has decided to build
a bridge across the Bay rather than
a tunnel. The j. M. Greiner Co.,

mated it would cost $9,35o,0 more
for tunnel than for bridge.
Mason said that If bids on both
projects were asked, Then we can

Forces understanding of the polar

proach it is making to develop the
weapons needed for the security of

the existence of the atomic bomb"
he said. The fact, accepted by all
military thinkers, that a future
major war would commence with an
aerial attack is given particular inn

Its result might we'll be decisive.
THE tremendous multiplication of

sary, than stronger air power"
The primary role of air power,
he said. was to attack targets on

of an enemy's military strength,
and he added that because air
power can cut off the flow of the
