$4,000 of the 100000 Puerto Ricans
in this city are tabulated as Ne

number of Puerto Ricans here has
daubled in the last seven years.
On statewide basis the in
crease in the nonwhite population
since 1850 was Al per cent and the
increase in the white population

ferent from the trend in the
metropolitan area when the figures
for the city were combined with
the totals for the four suburban
counties of Nassau, Suffolk, West

The rise in the nonwhite total
for the entire New York segment
of the metropolitan district was
42.5 per cent while the white popu-
lation went up So per cent. How
ever, the commission reported that
one significant difference existed
between the pattern here and else
where in the state.
In New York Negroes, who make
up 81 per cent of the nonwhite
group, tended to settle much more

Sigma Sets 43rd
Annual concIaye

Louisville, KY, Nov. 25.-On the
advent of the 43rd Anniversary
Conclave Of Phit Beta Sigma Fra
ternity-national Greek-letter col
lege organization, meeting in Dali
las, Tex, December 27-30, inclus-
i've, DR.. George D. Flemmings, ma
tional president, extends an invi-
tation in the name of the fratern-
ity, to all Sigma chapters of the
United States, the Virgin Islands,
Canada and Africa to send hun
dreds Of delegates and visiting
brothers to what he states will be
"the most potent and colorful con-
clave ever held in the annals Of
college Greek-letter fraternities
and sororities."
For the first time in many
years, the fraternity and Zeta Phi
Beta Sorority, it's sister Greek-let-
ter organization, will hold a joint
"Sigma-Zeta Conclave Boule" in
Dallas.
The theme of Signals Conclave
will be civil Rights Through Ed
ucation and Economic Security"
Three Years Of Greatness
In retrospect, the 43rd Ami
versary Conclave of Phi Beta Sigma
Fraternity will occasion the close
of three years of dynamic, unself-
ish and philosophical leadership by
DIR. Flemmings which is unmatched
in the long and fruitful history of
the organization.
Having as a background the
fine contributions of his predeces-
sors in the office he currently holds
on which to build, Signals prexy
set forth to revitalize the fratern-
ity in all ramifications.
DR.. Flemmings believes that the
pragmatic world Of today meas
ures the effectiveness of organiza-
tons and the need for their con-
tinued existence and support of
their membership by the extent of
practical aid and comfort they give
to that membership and the public
they serve. In this respect, he be-
lieves that Phi Beta Sigma Fra
ternity is no different from other
organizations.
In three years as its national
president, and with three previous
years of service to the fraternity
as its national director of Social
Action, "Mr. Civil Rights" as he
is known in Texas and to Sigma
men everywhere, has brought new
vigor and action to the fratern-
ity's three major programs, name
ly: Bigger and Better Business,
Education and Social Action.

Housing Held Needed

In making public the report
Charles Abrams, chairman of the
commission, said that the dramatic
changes in the racial composition
| of the states communities added
new pressure to the need for i'm
proved using for minority
groups.
although there has been a A
per cent increase in nonwhite popu-
lation in the past seven years, vir-
tually no new private construction
in the state has been opened to
nonwhites," Commissioner Abrams
declared.
"Our figures, particularly in the
upstate area, show that in most
every case the nonwhite popula-
ton increase has occurred in the
central cities. This means that the
many newcomers to our state have
been forced to double up and triple
up in already overcrowded areas
in the cities"
He reported that many of the
Negroes coming into the state were
young men and women from the
South, seeking better job oppor-
tunities and freedom from race
bias. He added that higher birth
rate among nonwhite families also
was a factor in the population rise.
"For some years to come" Mr..
Abrams declared, 1--WE can expect
that the nonwhite population will
continue to grow rapidly, both
through continuing high birth
rate and continuing immigration"
The survey was based in most
instances on Census Bureau fig
ures, supplemented by birth reports
from the State Health Department.
Most of the tabulating was done
by George Eunice Grier Of the COM
missions research division.
Nonwhites Triple Here
Their statistics indicated that the
nonwhite population of the five
boroughs had tripled since 1880
while the white total stood still.
The nonwhite figure for 1880 was
341 900, compared with current
figure Of 1,095,737. The white total
inched up from 6,589,377 to $685.
734.
The degree to which the subur-
ban rise in nonwhite population
was punched in few localities
was the subject of a special analy-
sis of the figures for Westchester
County.
The number Of nonwhites in the
county rose 33 per cent in the last
seven years, but three-fifths OF the
increase was concentrated in Mount
Vernon, New Rochelle and White
Plains. The commission noted that
each Of these would be regarded as
a city Of some size if its proximity
to New York did not put it into the

concentrated in the center of cities,
with almost none finding homes in
suburban areas.
Queens Growth Cited
In Manhattan, always the focus
of Negro migration in past years,
the nonwhite total went up only 81
per cent. This contrasted with in
creases of 1889 per cent in Queens,
121.1 per cent in the Bronx and
1877 per cent in Suffolk County.
However, the commission tempered
its comment on the wider spread Of
Negro families in the metropolitan
area by noting evidence that they
tended to be punched in certain
limited areas.
The New York area remains the
home of the great bulk of the
states Negroes. The survey showed
1,095,737 nonwhites in the city and
1,211,272 in the metropolitan dis
trict. This represented 88 per cent
of the statewide total of 1877 900.
The rate of growth in the last
seven years has been about the
same here and upstate. In 1850
the New York area had SO per cent
of the nonwhite population. In 1910
it had "a per cent. The upstate
nonwhite figure of 10000 is
larger than the population of AL
bany, the commission noted. In
1910 there were $4,000 nonwhites
in the upstate area.
For the whole state, nonwhites
now make up 81 per cent of the
population, as against 6.5 per cent
in 1850. In this city the nonwhite
group constitutes 14.2 per cent of
the total, as against 9.8 per cent
seven years ago.

Airman Awarded $l87,OOO as Result. Of Jet Crash

SAN FRANCISCO LRt-The US. government settled for $187, 900 Wednesday an $8OO,OOO suit that was brought by an Air Force ser geant and his family as the. result of a jet fighters crash in Alaska which killed three relatives.
 The settlement includes $37, ,OOO for attorney fees and awards $15O,O00 to T. Sgt. William F. Fimple, McClelland Air Force Base, Sacramento, Calif.; his wife Ethel, 24, and two minor children.
 All four suffered critical and disfguring burns when the plane crashed near their quarters at Eli elson Air Force Base near Fair banks Nov. 29, 1855.
 The Fimple's triplet sons, II months old. were all fatally burned when the plane fell near their home.
 Total casualties of the crash were 14 dead, including the pilot, and injured.
 The compromise stipulated that none of the money was to go to Fimple himself because his in juries came off duty and the US. was not liable for them in a civil action.

ALASKANS HOLD
 WORLD RECORD FOR TALKING ON PHONE

NEW YORK, R - Maybe you think your teen age daughter holds the record for talking on the telephone? You're probably wrong unless you live in Alaska.
 Alaskans have displaced Ha- waiians as the talkingest people in the world as far as the phone is concerned.
 Alaska averaged 63O conversa- tions per person last year to lead the ,yak-yak list, according to Worlds Telephones" an annual survey released yesterday by the American Telephone & Telegraph Co.
 Hawaii, first the year before, was second with an average of 531 conversations per inhabitant. Canada had 481, Sweden 455 and the United States 426. The world average was 51.
