Comparing the high groups

This is even poorer Negro per-

the more significant when we
consider that. in the 1858 re-
analysis, we were dealing with
Negro children of fine social ano

Group, Almost Identical
In comparing Negroes and
whites of equally low social and
economic backgrounds, DR.. Nc
Gurk said:
Actually, the average test
Scores of the low Negro grour

this is enough overlapping to al
low us to say that the perfor-
nance of the low Negro group is
identical with the performance
of the low white group"
DR.. McGurk said "a fruitful
approach to racial equality can
not follow the lines of social and
economic manipulation.
There is something more i'm

problem than differences in ex-

General Hospital with the addict.
There the addict undergoes a
preliminary examination and if
he appears in need of treatment,
he is admitted. He undergoes a
five-day examination at the hos
Ipital, after which two physi-
cians-one a psychiatrist-re-
port to the United States At
torney as to whether the per-
son is a drug user. This begins
the court proceedings under the
act.
Police are objecting not only
to the notarizing but to the two
trips to District General and the
chance Of the addict going
underground while they are GO
ing through their procedures.
DR.. John Schultz, chief psy-
chiatriSt at District General, said
he did not need notarized state
ments. He also said he didn't
see why the detective could not
bring the addict with him on the
first trip to the hospital and
leave him in the automobile
until the doctor signed the pick
up form.
DR.. Schultz said there was a
question in his mind whether
his staff should admit an addict
not showing withdrawal symp-
toms, although the law simply
says drug user" He also said
he didn't see why police did not
make more use of the vagrant-
addict provisions of the act,
where addicts who are also vag-
rants can go to Jail rather than
a hospital.

Ry the AssocIated press

A Villanova University psy-
chologist said today that as
measured by psychological test
performance Negroes as a group
do not possess as much capacity
for education as do white people
DR.. Frank C. j. MeGurk, as
sociate professor of psychology
at Villanova, added:
This has been demonstrated
over and over"
In a copyrighted article in
United States News a. World
Report, weekly news magazine
published in Washington, the
psychologist said the Nation
will have to be more factual
about race differences. and much
less emotional.
DR.. McGurk said he based his
conclusions on psychological
tests administered to whites and
Negroes during World War I and
since.
Regardless of our emotional
attachment to the school de-
segregation problem" DR.. Nc.
Gurk wrote, certain facts must
be faced.
Demonstrated Mind Over Matter
First. as far as psychological
test performance is a measure
of capacity for education
Negroes do not possess as much
of it as whites as group. This
has been demonstrated over and
over.
Next. we must realize that
since 1918, the vast improve
ments in the social and eco
nomic status of the Negro have
not changed his relationship to
the whites regarding capacity
for education. This is not to
say that this relationship cannot
be changed: it says merely that
it has not been changed. 1t i'm
plies strongly that we are ap-
preaching the race difference
problem from the wrong direc-
ton.
Thirdly, as far as our knowl-
edge of the problem goes, the
improvements in the social and
economic opportunities have only
increased the differences be-
tween Negroes and whites. This
is because such improvements
have been given to both racial
groups-not only to the Negro
and the whites have profited the
more from them"
DR.. McGurk said his conclu-
sions were not drawn from a Sc
lection of studies intended tt
emphasize a point of view.
They are the only existing
studies that relate to the prob.

settle is the choice of a small
executive committee to handle
the users affairs.
Broad Basis Seen
Current soundings in diplo-
matte circles indicate that the
executive group will be picked on
a broad geographical basis, as
the Committee Of Five was. or
with more attention to the
principal users. To avoid the
white-man-dominated appear
ance. it is considered likely an
attempt will be made to repre-

Asia, the Middle East, Africa,

sphere.
Whether both Britain and
France would once more be left
off the executive group has not
yet been decided.
French sources, meanwhile,
believe that India is using its in
fluence with Col. Nasser to urge
moderation, particularly since
midas own economic develop
ment could be so adversely af-
fected by a shutdown or serious
showdown in Suez canal traffic.
The Associated Press reported
that informed State Department
officials limited Mr.. Dulles might
be willing to scrap the idea of
sending a -piloted ship to
the canal, but only if some sub
stitnte could be found which
would accomplish the same
purpose-to demonstrate pub
licly the Western theory that
Col. Nasser was welshing on a
pledge to keep the canal open
to all ships.
Burke Makes Statement
The question of the impor-
lance of the Suez Canal to the
Western world was touched upon
by Admiral Arleigh Burke, Chief
OF Naval Operations, during the
course of television interview
on ABC's college Press Confer
ence," which was carried by The
Stars station WMAL.
Il think the Western world
could get along without use Of
it," he said. explaining that it
was an economic proposition.
1T is cheaper to use it but it
is not essential" he said.
Admiral Burke was asked what
effect closing of the canal would
have on the United States 9Th
Fleet. now stationed in the Med
iterTanean.
Fleet operations, he said.
would not be impaired. He said
the Navy is prepared to get its
oil, whether around the Cape>of
Good Hope or from Venezuela.
AS to whether the Suez .situa-
ton made war imminent, Ad-
miral Burke said it was possible
but that Il am sure both sides
are trying to solve their differ
ences so there will not be war"
The Navy head said he thought
Col. Nasser would be able to
operate the canal but foresaw
eventual deterioration of its OPP
Grafton because of a shortage of
technicians.
