KEY CONTROVERSIES OF 1856
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

What are the key controaver-
sizes of the 1856 presidential
election? What are the main
differences between the Repub-
lican and Democratic party on
these issues?
An attempt to answer these
questions has been undertakne
by The American Peoples En-
cyclopedia, drawing upon the
expert knowledge of non-parti-
san professional interpreters
closest to the scene of action
the Washington Corps of Cor
respondents. Results of hte sur
vey, the first, of this kind ever
undertaken by a major reference
work, is published a special Sec
ton of the 1856 Yearbook of
the encyclopedia.
Carroll Shouinard, managing
editor of The American Peoples
Encyclopedia, declared that ira
ditionally, campaign speeches
blur the issues between the two
major political parties. The GUS
tomary smoke and fury of cam
paign oratory always makes it
seem that the two parties are
as far apart as the poles.
The Encyclopedia has con-
Quoted this survey to help the
voter to see behind the face
value of those speeches.
The key 1856 presidential cleo
ton issues according to the re-
suits of the survey are: farm
problem, governments relation
to business, foreign policy, ma
tional defense, internal security,
social welfare and civil rights,
power policy and conservation,
labor problems and policies.
Unless some unforeseen event
occurs such as an economic

downturn or a flare-up involv-
ton, personalities in the elec-
ing American military interven-
ton are likely to be more i'm
portant than issues, the ency-
clopedia contributors believe.
The writer's point out, how
ever, that besides the important
and dominant role of personal
tiles in the campaign voters will
note a d ference, chiefly one
of emphasis, between the two
economic PHILOSOPHERS of the
two colitical parties:
The Republicans rely more on
new investments and expansion
of business enterprise to main
tain prosperity, while the Demo-
Gratis are inclined to put more
stress on increasing the pur-
ShaSing power of the masses of
the people.
On the vital strategic ques-
tionS of defense and foreign
policy, the writer's feel that the
Eisenhower administration and
leaders of the Democratic party
are in essential agreement.
In explaining the almost SINH
lar stands of both parties on
vital issues, the encyclopedia
contributors say that under
President Eisenhower, the Re
publican party has on the whole
moved to the left. With Demo-
cratic leaders of both Houses
being the middle of the road
type, the Democratic party on
the whole has moved to the
right.

Negro and White Wage DifferentiaI in Detroit

ACCORDING TO CneSe 1lgureS,
while colored income has been
rising, the differential with
white income is much larger
now than it was five years ago.
Finally, the ratio between the
two groups, giving colored fami-
ly income as a proportion of
white family income, shows
more inequality.
The university study noted
that for every ST a white family
got in 1851, colored family re-
ceived only 73 cents. In 1852 the
colored figure fell to 70 cents.
And in 1858 it dropped to sc
cents; a penny less in 1854 apd
up to 68 cents in 1855. But even
then, lower than in the first two
years of the period surveyed.
In conclusion the study shows
that the average white family
in the Detroit area has an in
come one and one-half times
larger than the average colored
family, and the differential is
higher than five years ago.
This points out that discri-
mination against colored wage
and salary earners is still very
much alive here.
The differential is the result
of the existence of biased en-
ployment policies that bar color
ed people from most of the bet
ter-paying jobs and occupations.
Which means also that those
who want economic equality
still have a big fight on their
hands-not only in Mississippi
but in Michigan too.

CITY EMPLOYEES TO FORM
ASSOCIATION

A steering committee has been
selected by City employees to lay
groundwork for the organiza-
ton of an employees associ-
alton. The association will not
be a bargaining agent for en-
ployees. It's goal is to promote
harmony, cooperation and to
fbster friendship and under
standing among City employees
through social activities. Many
other cities have similar aSSoci-
ations. The steering committee,
with william o. Hintze as Chair
man, will continue it's monthly
meetings until such time as the
association is well enough plan
ned to complete it's permanent
organization.
TO EACH HIS WON
Not everyone who comes to
the United States wants to live
here permanently. The 1856
Yearbook of The American Peo-
pie Encyclopedia reports that
last year 31,245 people departed
from this country after living
here more than one year. They
left with the intention of re-
naming abroad.

DETROIT. - Statistics show
that colored persons earn higher
incomes in the Detroit area than
anywhere else in the country.
But on the other hand, eco.
nomic discrimination is still in
evidence in the Motor City.
Proof of the above statements
is contained in the annual re-
ports of the University of Mi
chigan's Detroit Area Study"
published recently. The study
is based on 1855 incomes and
the following converted from
annual to weekly figures: Year
1855, white familieS-117, col
ored families-79, differential-
38, and ratio 68.
It is noted in the report that
with the exception of 1854,
which was marked by wide
spread unemployment, colored
family income, like white family
income, steadily increased dur
ing the five year period.
Weekly income of colored fam
lilies rose $12 during the five
years, but at the same time
white family income increased
by $25 weekly, pointing to in
equality of income opportunity
or progress.
The "differential" between
the two groups in 1851 was $25-
a week. In 1852, the gap widened
to $31; and in 1858, to $40. In
1854, a year of recession, the in
comes of both groups declined
and the gap was reduced for
the first time, to $39; and again
in 1855 to $38.

al CAlUS dlQ teachers, declared
that every building now needed
should be started now and every
building needed in the near fu-

"Today's taxpayers are now

She was asked about testi-

figures showing Negro children
averaging substantially behind
white.
