The shocking disclosures il

take on added significance when
1t is realized that the situation in
Chicago is being duplicated in large
cities throughout the nation, South
as well as North.
"Blg As National DEBT
While no national study has been
made OF this particular aspect Of
the Negro housing problem, such
a survey would probably result in
the discovery that Negroes pay a
color tax" for housing that runs
into astronomical figures similar
to the national debt.
To get a better picture of this
staggering amount Of money -
$157,611, 244 that comes from the
pockets Of people least able to af-
ford 1t, here is what the sum could
do:
Buy 1850 three-bedroom, $20,-
900 ranch style homes.
build and fully equip fifty
100-bed hospitals.
Purchase brand new CadiIlacs
for each one Of one 26,901 Negroes
living in Seattle and have some
change left.
Pay the salaries Of $1,000 coll
lege professors holding Pm. d. de-
grees for one year.
Buy the Empire. State build
ing in New York City and build
duplicates In Chicago and Los An
geles.
Buy Tusl1egee and Hampton
Institutes and build duplicates Of
each In Africa.

Though the study for the special
! seven. year period t1pE0sSe) indi-
Gated that Negroes were overcharg-
ed $157, e11, 244, the League ,estim-
ates that, "the total Of all exces-
ave costs which Negroes and the
total Chicago community bear as
a consequences Of housing discrim-
nation and segregation can be es-
tablished at a minimum Of $26 mill
lion per year."
The League report charges that
discrimination against nonwhites
represents q major factor in de-
termining the quality, quantity and
price of housing available to nom
whites in Chicago. Nonwhites must
compete only in q racially restrict
ed market for housing in Chicago"
"This fact results In the opera
ton Of two distinctly dissimilar
housing markets In Chicago =
one clearly for whites and the
other for nonwhites. It Is for this
reason that supply and demand
factors in one market are more or
less independent Of the same fac
tors In the other, and the relation
ships among quality, and rent
are significantly different in the
two markets.
This great disparity between
the two markets results In huge
dollar cost to the Negro communi-
ty. Negroes, as a result Of housing
discrimination and segregation,
pay q "color tax" in rentals in
Chicago amounting to an estimat-
ed $12,515,s9 annually. This is ac-
counted for by the differentials
paid by nonwhites over those paid

A Few Words
The Right Decisions

From the looks of things, there are
few people in Montgomery County stirred up
over a little matter of censorship.
They know what they don't want to read,
and they don't want the rest of us to read it,
too. They're entitled to their position; after
ali, the people have been donting for a
lot longer than most of us have been around.
This year it's "Tropic of Cancer"
Several years ago it was Lady Chat.
terly's Lover"
Some years before that 1t was ulysses"
Before that land here we may have our
sequences wrong--we aren't that old it was
"Jurgen"
Several centuries ago it was the Bible II
There are many and varied reasons for
censorship Most of them are little short of
stupid. Only one valid reason that we can
think of is the one, you're too young"
There are books, many of them on the
shelves of our homes that young people have
no business reading until they reach a Ger.
tain point of maturity.
But censorship of that material GER
tainly shouldn't be left to a board of our
peers, who arbitrarily draw a line across
which we are not supposed to step.
The burden is again, on the home If we
properly understand our children, if we rec.
ognize their capabilities and their shortcom.
ings-in a word II we really know our chill
dren, then we can handle the matter of
censorship
But" the cry goes up I'VE cannot con-
troll our children every second of the time.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-11-04
By Kent Palmer

What If they take Henry Miller's book be-
hind the woodshed to read?"
Aye, there's the rub. But it still goes back
to the parents.
With the proper training and guidance
from thoughtful parents, our children will
understand the world in which they live so
well that vicarious thrills obtained behind
the woodshed will not be thrilling at all.
It's an adult world, something too many
of US tend to forget all too often We can
control our children. Our children want that
control-ask the psychologists and the psy.
chiatrists. But they are always testing us,
trying for more leeway.
Boys and girls of II, 10 and ID these
days are going steady, for example, because
they've intimidated us adults into giving bit
here and bit "Everybodys doing
t'-until we're just before losing the con-
troll we do have.
Seriously do you think your children
would be doing some of the things which
you don't really approve unless you led
them? Some of them would, of course but
the world has always had rebels and non.
conformists. 1t always will
No, sir. Arbitrary action on most things,
including censorship, will never get us any
where.
One reason we're human beings is that
we can recognize that there are choices in
life and that we can make those choices.
Properly taught, the majority of us will
make most of the right decisions
