QUAKER Committee REVIEWS
AMERICAN RACE RELATIONS

Philadelphia. - All Americans,
North and South, are responsible
for the large scale inhumanity"
we exhibit toward some citizens, it
is said in a study released today
by the Amrecian Friends Service
Committee.
The 64-page booklet, Race and
Conscience in America, published
by the University of Oklahoma
Press, said,' ave believe that mo-
ment of decision has now come
for each of us and for the nation.
America can be the America of
our hopes. But world in revolu-
ton cannot wait. The American
dream must become a reality, and
rapidly"
The report was prepared by a
special working party" assembled
by the American Friends Service
Committee. It was asked to "study
where we as a people stand in
the matter of race relations, to in
quire where we ought to be, and
to propose methods of bridging
the gap"
The study warns of seven areas
of unfinished business in Amer
ica's race relations which must be
dealth with before the United
States can be in fact "a land of
equal opportunity" These include
public school desegregation, en-

In an optimistic vein the auth

! Mr.. Overton said Negro sales
men were not getting a fair share
of the business. He said there were
seventytwo Negro wholesale sales
men serving Harlem retailers in a
total sales force estimated at 200
men.

that residents of Harlem spent

liquor, of which more than $1,000.

He said Negro statesmen would
keep the commission money circu-

while white statesmen spent it else
where.

agreed to sign and send to their
wholesalers a form letter supplied
by the NAACP's New York branch
saying that they will refuse to
continue doing business with any
wholesaler who will not send as

man"
A white liquor store owner said
Yesterday that. although he and
other dealers had been forced" 10

letter, he doubted that any had ac-

The dealer said he had signed
the agreement early this month
when he was called on by dele
cation headed by City Councilman
Earl Brown, Mr.. Overton and Odeil
Clark, head of the local NAACP
branch, and including thirty Negro
statesmen.
He said other store owners had
"knuckled under" only after picket
ing. At one store he said, custo-

had his purchased bottles smashed
by irate bystanders.
Describing the campaign as "dis-

said he wished to remain unidenti-
