KEEP PHOENIX

By w. A. Robinson

ice Organization largely because
of a large cut in its 1861 United

necessity of closing its doors in a
few months unless it can raise by
by some means the sum OF $4,000.
To help with this the USO Commit
tee has received from Mr.. Jonn
B. Mills, owner of the Westward
Ho. the gift of the use of the Thund-
or Bird Room for a Benefit Dance
on Saturday, July %. Music OF
high quality will be supplied by

come from several sources, sing
ing and dancing individuals and
teams professionals solicited by
Phoenix's Mrs. Archer Linde from
among her friends among the pro-
fessionals among the entertainers.
She describes this part of the even
ing's entertainment as alone worth
quite $500. A contribution of $1.0O
will secure a ticket for the donor,
at the door or before. Like all USO
activities, this affair is complete
ly integrated. The two Negro mem

South Phoenix
Dilemma
By Cloves Campbell

South of the Salt River is pop
ulation of $1,000 people, of this
number about a 1-3 pay taxes. And
Just a few months ago this area
was annexed to the city of Phoe-
nix.
Even with this annexation there
is practically no public recreation.
No parks or swimming pools. The
school play ground is the only area
open for any form of recreation.
The only safe swimming places.
are privately owned swimming
pools. The other swimming places
are unguarded and unsafe irriga-
ton canals.
AS tax payers. South Phoenix
residents should look into the pos
sibility of getting recreation faci-
lities within its boundaries.
Of the large number of res
dents in South Phoenix, approx
mately $1,000 are youngsters be-
tween the ages of to 18 years old.
These youngsters are looking for
some place to swim and play. And
out of this large number a very
few fortunat ones are lucky
to have their own pool. But the
unfortunate ones must either go
all the way into town or head for
the unsafe irrigation canals.
While other sections of the city
are getting golf courses, parks
and swimming pools. South Phoe-
nix gets nothing. "WHY?"

Hidden Cost" Of
Bias Are Outlined

Detroit, Mich. Arthur L. John-
son, executive secretary of the
local NAACP chapter, recently out
lined some of the hidden cost I'M
racial segregation to a group OF
business men.
Employment: NAACP surveys
show that it will take Negroes
"138 years, or until the year '2O94
to secure equal participation" il
the skilled trades and crafts, un-
less the situation is drastically
changed.
Buying Power: The median wage
for the Negro is still about $2,s52
a year, as against $4,569 for the
white worker.
Housing: so percent of Americas
non-white citizens (95 percent OF
whom are Negroes live in sub
standard housing.
Education: The federal govern
ment has spent we'll over 300 mil
lion dollars for school construc-
ton, during the past 10 years, in
southern states although less than
one-third of their schools are de-
segregated.
The average expenditure per pu-
pil is roughly $191 for whites, and
S155 for Negroes.
The NAACP official concluded
with an estimate by Elmo Roper
and Associates placing the over
all material and dollar cost of Sc
gregation and discrimination in
America at 80 billion dollars ali
nually.

demonstrations, until substantial.
not token, change Call along the
line, IS effected asserts the MA
ACP in its 1860 annual report re-
leased simultaneously here and
in Philadelphia today.
The 72-page report mirrors the
"unrelenting forward push of the
NAACP since its formation in 1909,
writes Executive Secretary Roy
Wilkins in the Forew0rd.
The report, published on the eve
of the Associations SIND annual
convention in Philadelphia, covers
highlights from the entire NAACP
program being carried out by 1,434
units in as states.
Of prime Importance was the
Associations on-going voter reg
istration drive, with special atten-
tion to southern states. The report
reveals that "95 per cent of the
more than 400 cities and counties
touched by the Associations voter
registration program in 1860 show
ed decided upward trend toward
political action.
Negroes invariably received
better treatment and cOnsidera-
tions from city officials in areas
where they had political strength,
it concluded.
Also cited was NAACP political
action in Savannah. Ca, where
Negroes have been seeking better
economic and educational treat
ment from the town fathers.
"Ten out of a slate of IS candi-
dates supported by Negro voters
were successful in their BIDS" it
disclosed.
In the area of labor, the report
concludes that "some of the i'm
portant employment gains made
during the wartime economic ex-
pansion (World War II)) and in
the immediate postwar period, ex-
pecially for heavy industry, have
in many instances been all bu t
totally wiped out"
The year 1860 saw school inte-
grafton come to the Deep South
and the U. S. Supreme Court ex-
tend its ban on discrimination in
transportation by requiring that
Negroes be served in restaurants
at interstate bus terminals op
Grated as an integral part of the
transportation system.
The High Court also ruled on the

case. The decision entitled Negroes

stitutes invalid racial discrimina-
tion.'
