There IN tendency among even we'll meaning folks, to
0veremphnsiZe the progress towards full citizenship being
made by the American Negroes Quite often the optimism Is
based wshfu thinking lazy thinking upon the part Of
those who cGprsS IT, The United has certainly made
tremendous strides in resolving the msreamcnt Of
it's Is million Negroes but IL still has long and
should not be prone ovcrcsmhte the extent Of the
changes which have most certainly taken place.
Last weeks report Of U. g. Senate Labor committee sub.
committee clearly pointed up that from economic opportun
ity and social standpoint the American Negro il still much
off than his white countrymon.
Some interesting comparisons given In Associated
Negro Press front page story printed in this issue Of this
between the employment income education. occupational
changes death rates and life expectancy between American
whites and Negroes.
In Of the comparisons the figures alone do tell
the complete stofOr the national rather than the regional
picture IL the presented For example the national
income Of the Negro family at $50 81 per cent Of
that Of the average white person This kept down
tho type and pay jobs the south where the lack Of labor
unions and collective bargaining keeps down wages
sofa the income of the Negro far above that
by the national and for the worker
almost with that Of the white worker.
The entire picture gloomy but the facts
ected do not Justify the cOmpaccncy Of those who think
making progress fast
This nation has n long pull to cquaire the opportun.
y for all Of is citizens This newspaper does question
the changes and the progress being daily accelerated but II
has noticed dangerous compacncy among northern Negroes
and many white friends Of the Negro citizen who
get that such which have been made have had and still
have tremendous opposition and by approach
full equality which Constitution guarantees each of our
citizens.

Bernard Baruch TO come TO his

He called on two rich and power

The Generals response Is more
disturbing than the accusation.
Cardinal spellman and Bernard

atmosphere, with whose subtleties

Cardinal Spellman is a symbol
