Text of P. u. c. Statement
On City's Transit Crisis

n the city's transit crisis issued
&c Utilities Commission:
the advantage of the Capital
Transit Co. to delay this legisla-
ton as long as possible and to
delete from the legislation the
powers of eminent domain which
the draft legislation contains
If these detectives were attained
the public body created would be
incapable Of providing service on
August Is except upon the terms
of the Capital Transit Co.
1t is entirely apparent that
interested parties are publishing
slanted and incomplete data in
an attempt to escape from the
present legal position. The tech
nical staff of this commission
which for years has been closely
supervising the operations Of the
company, has long been familiar
with the arguments now being
made. This staff knows also the
real facts at issue and is able to
evaluate the claims of the COM
Ipany.
! This is not the time nor the
place to enter into detailed
analyses Of these allegations. The
commission is confident, how
ever. that its views and recon-
mendations reflect the sound
ANSWERS to the problems before
uh and it stands ready now or at
any time in the future to give to
the press or to other interested
agencies of public information
full explanation of any material
issues which may be raised.
Powers Required
The commission wishes to
stress also that, under the pro-
posed legislation, a new public
body would be created to as
sumo the responsibilities for
transit in the city of Washing
ton and to serve the public in
terest in this vital element of our
community living. This body
would not be bound by the views
of this commission, but it would
be sworn to serve the public
interest. Our concern today is
to insure that public confusion
over the issues at stake does not
lead us to such mistakes of &C
ton or inaction that this new
body. when created, will be pow
erless to serve the public interest.
The commission is aware of
the necessity for immediate &C.
ton to establish a responsible
Organization to plan and con-
duct mass transit operations re-
placing Capital Transit on next
August Is. This is a task of
unprecedented magnitude. in
lvolving the creation of a major
operating entity in less than
six months. AS of this present
moment. there is clear posi-
bility that mass transit service
on August Is will not be in full
operation, for want of the timely
formation of such an organi-
cation.

Negroes than among young South
ern whites. Moreover, such school
ing as the Negro does receive gen.
orally is far inferior to that re-
ceived by whites"
Difficult in North Too
Failing to find satisfactory job
in a Southern city, the Negro moves
North. There he finds it easier to
get a job, but the job is still usually
on the commentator level. North
ern employers do not have the
South's great pool of underemploy-
ed white farm labor to draw upon,
and in the past Is years have had
great need for the unskilled and
semi-skilled labor which the Ne
gro can supply.
"But the proportion of Negroes
who reach the top of the ladder
in the North is scarcely higher
than that in the South. In COM
parison to the total of 49, of
Negroes who rise to become man
ayers officials, proprietors, crafts
men and foremen' in the South, the
figure in the North is 1910" the
LIFE article says.
One Tenth of U. S.
The Negro population has con-
stituted one tenth of the overall
U. S. population since 1900. In
1900, however, So, of all U. S.
Negroes lived in the South, and Of
these, three fourths lived in rural
areas. Today only CO.; of all us.
Negroes live in the South, and
of these, three of these, only half
live in rural areas.
In 1900 Negroes exceeded 40|
of the population in six Southern
states. Now they exceed 4O'' in
only one state-Mississippi (44").
The ratio of Negroes to whites has
decreased in all Southern states,
and is increasing today only in
certain Northern states, such as
New York and Illinois, which re-
ceive heavy migration from the
South. OF the six million Negroes
who live in the North today, 2.8
million were born in the South.

families was $1,516. But when
the Negro leaves his poor farmland
and moves to a Southern city he
encounters massive competition
from rural whites who have also
moved off the land in search o
factory jobs.
Employers will not hire a Ne
gro for any job if there is a white
man available for the same" LIFE
says. even if discrimination in
employment based solely on color
were set aside, the Negro still
could not compete with the white.

adults with less than fifth-grade
education) are three times more

Roy Wilkins, national executive
secretary Of the NAACP, said he
favored Stevenson's choice of words
on the hearings over those of Pres

the view that the inquiry would
not Impair" integration of the

Wilkins said the investigation is
part of a gigantic "war" on civil

He told a rally of the local

not between the southern states

by segregationists against the

Carter who won a Pulitzer prize
for articles on the Indignation prob
lem, said "you have only to read
your newspapers to realize the
deterioration of racial relations
that has taken place since the Su-
preme Court ruling two years ago."
He said the South should be
proud of the way the governors of
Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky
called upon law enforcement agen-
cies to quell racial outbreaks in
their states.
Carter, who said he was speaking
as a newspaperman interested in
the South's problems rather than
a southerner, suggested voluntary
resettlement' of Negroes through
out the nation as a step toward
solving the Indignation problem.
"Nine out of ten Negroes live in
