Rate Of Negro
Twin Births Is
Tops In World

CHICAGO, Ill.-There are more
than 100000 Negro twins in the
United States and the number is
still growing, states Ebony Mag
azine in its February issue.
Twinning among American Ne
groes occurs once in every 70
births, one of the highest rates
in the world The nations average
is only one set of twins out of 81
births, Ebony says. Why Ameri-
can Negroes have twinning rate
higher than American whites is not
known and solution to the question
fascinates biologists.
Geneticists hold that woman
has a better chance of giving birth
to two-egg twins if she has pre-
viously given birth to triplets,
bankruptcies or twins, or if multiple
births run in her family. Ebony
lists a near champion in this de-
partment in Mrs. Viola Brown of
. Williamson, N. c., who at % has
given birth to quintuplets, triplets,
and bankruptcies, twins and a sin
gleton boy. Only the triples,
twins and the single child survived.
Most authorities hold that the
difference between the twinning
rate of Negroes and whites is
hereditary, Ebony says. The art
icle also reveals that census fig
ures indicate that frequency of
plural births to fathers SIS and
over is three times as high as
fathers under 20.

Chicago Moves To Halt Transfer OF
White Students From Schools Where
Negroes Are Being Enrolled

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 10-The Chi
cago board of education announced
last week that it will tighten up
on granting permits for students to
attend high schools out of their dis
tricts. Purpose of the move is to
prevent white students leaving
schools in which Negroes are newly
enrolled solely because of racial
prejudice.
Eight of the city's 80 regular
high schools are admitting no stu
dents on special permission this
semester, according to Thaddus
Lubera, assistant superintendent in
charge of high schools.
Three others will be closed to
permits during the spring term,
he said.
The sharp reversal of policy by
the board is an attempt to pre-
vent patterns of segregation in the
schools.
A Parent Teacher Association
survey last year found one-fifth of
all Chicago high school students
attending school outside their dis
trict. One high school had 1875
students from outside its district
boundaries.
The Mayors Commission on HUI
man Relations and the Anti-Defa-
nation League of Birth say that
racial or religious prejudice is the
real reason behind many of the re-
quests.
ITO a large extent, it's the par
ents who must be educated to see
that they are making a segregated
city" said Eleanor DUNCAN, head
of the department of education of
the mayors commission.
THE schools can help if they will
adopt a strong policy of no per-
mits without exceptional reason"
