Chicago (ANP)-Segregation in

ton, M, as the major obstacle
to m pl amen ting the Supreme
Courts decision on school integra-
ton.
In a statement released to the
press in conjunction with his par
ticipation as a consultant on the
housing panel of the Catholic In
terracial Conference at Mundeloin
college, here, Milgram declared:
THE root Of segregated educa-
ton in most schools of our major
cities is the prevailing pattern of
segregated housing. This is the
key road block to fulfillment of
the Supreme Court decision on
school indignation. Indignation Of
schools and other community fac
ilities will be needlessly difficult
and tortuous, until we practice
democracy in housing-until hous-
ing is made available generally on
an open occupancy basis"
