middle and upper class groups that are
divorced from the problems of their race.
These people live in good homes, insulated
by their own small social groups. They are
not fighting for their race. They are afraid
of anything which might upset their status.
You see, "a young Negro minister said,
when you reach the plateau of the middle
class, you don't want to rock the boat, you
don't want to disturb the situation espe-
cially once you're looked on as a socially
desirable class
Until the middle and the upper classes
realize that what happens to the lower
classes affects them, too, no matter how
much money or status they have, you
aren't really going to be able to solve the
problem from within.
They're out of contact with the other
groups" he said They don't have to come

What are these barriers?

Is this true? Negroes who have studied
the problem say it is. This reporter can
only say he has been in some homes where
it appears to be true. In fairness, though,
this has not been common experience.
The Negro intellectual IS especially
concerned about this problem. He will say
that often Negroes who have risen to five
figure fncomes-and there are many in
this category in Washington-seem to wish
to diSassociate from the race. They even
will look down on Negro folk music and
literature.
A Negro scholar says this reflects an

Price Index
Holds Firm
ForApriI

A mixture of price increases
and decreases in April left the
cost-of Living index unchanged
and at a record high for the
second consecutive month.
Robert ]. Meyers, deputy
commissioner of the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics. said today that
the April Consumer Price In
dex was 1878.
He added that this reflects
an overall stability that has
been present in the price index
since last october, when the
index was 1878.
Significant price increases in
April were recorded for used
cars, movie admissions and
medical care.
Declines were noted for gaso-
line, some costs of home pur-
chases, women's apparel and
new cars.
Food was the only major
item checked in Washington in
April and an increase of i
per cent was reported.
Discussing a record increase
of 7 per cent in April in used
car prices, Mr.. Meyers said they
still were IL per cent below
their most recent high just
prior to large-scale introduc-
ton of compact cars in Sep
tember, 1859" Mr.. Meyers said
the price boost was caused by
the dwindling stocks of used
cars.
