MYrdul Says Negro
Should Keep Up
Present Fiqhf

Myrdal, Swedish economist and
sociologist who wrote the major
book on the Negro in the United
States, "The American Dilemma"
said recently he would have no OBJ
jections if his daughter wanted to
marry Negro.
"She is already married. But if
she were not, and if she wanted to
marry a Negro, it wouldn't matter
to me-" he said.
DR.. Myrdal is a portly, taller
than-average man with bushy gray
eyebrows and a fun head of gray
hair with only traces of the orig
inal blond. He came to New York
to-among other things lay
down lines along which future re-
search in American race relations
should develop.
He feels that Negroes should
continue their rebellion" against
discrimination by talking it up,
voting and self improvement.
Negroes have inherited poverty
as others have inherited wealth, he
said.
To impress upon white Ameri-
cans that it's time for a change,
Myrdal said Negroes should first
continue calling for freedom now.
This is very effective" he be-
lieves. while you are asking for
this you are asking for better
housing, better education and the
like" Myrdal said.
Next, he felt voting is important.
He doesn't believe that the Repub-
hcan party is better than the DEM
ocratic party, or vice versa. Part
les don't bring about changes, per-
sonalities do" the sociologist said
Thirdly, Myrdal believes that
Negroes way out is self-improve-
ment. Curb school dropouts. Edu-
cation is your only chance to get
out of the ghetto"
He said he realizes Negroes know
these things and have been work
ing at them continuously.
In answer to another question
he said a significant number of
white Americans are prepared to
work along with Negroes for the
end of Jim Grow. Even the worst
white cracker has a compartment
in his heart where he has the Am
erican ideals of equal opportunity
and liberty" Myrdal believes.
Your only chance" is working
with white people. Remember, you
are only one-tenth of the people
here - and a poor tenth. If they
really wanted to, they could dump
you into the ocean, they could put
| you III MISSISSIPPI.
Even the law couldn't help you
the Constitution can be changed
If you didn't have enlightened
whites, you could be sent 10 Africa
They could kin you. And my point
is they are not doing this on a
wholesale basis" Myrdal said.
The 65-year-old social scientist
calls himself Citizen of the world
and a friend of the United States.
The New York Daily News called
him, in an editorial on the day of
the interview, "a notorious Swed-
ish Socialist, inflationist and us.
hater."
II don't mind" he said, some
times I feel I'm on the way to be-
coming a monument, and don't
want that I would feel sad if
everybody shared my opinions"
Now that the race problem is
right out in front, research is need
ed on how to cope with various
situations. By spending large
amounts TO money on overly
technical research, but drasticaIly
neglecting long-range studies OF
race and group relations, the Unit
ed States is on prolonged flight
from reality" he said.
The research situation was dis,
cussed at the American Jewish
Committees Institute of Human
Relations

The percentage of people
unable to read and write has
risen in the District over the
past 80 years. while illiteracy
has decreased throughout the
rest Of the Nation.
This is reported in q newly
released 1860 estimate by the
Census Bureau, which puts the
Districts illiteracy rate at 1.9
per cent. The national average
Is "a per cent.
But as the rates for the
States declined since 1880, the
Districts figure edged up from
1T per cent to 1.8 per cent in
1850 to 1.9 per cent for 1860.
nliteracy, as used in the
census reports. means inability
to read and write a simple mes
sage in English or in any other
language. ..'
With a rate of 1.9 per cent,
the District showed a worse
record than the least illiterate
State, Iowa. with 2 per cent,
