Housing Issue
At DeerfieId, Ill.

The story of Deerfield, Illinois, has now been
told in a book, But Not Next Door, by Harry and
David Rosen, and we recommend it an important
study not only of the problems which integrated
housing projects are up against but also (and per-
haps more importantly of the tortuous routes which
some white peoples minds take when they are face
to face with challenge to their deeply held pre-
JUDGES.
Deerfield is the middle-bracket Junior execu-
tive" Chicago suburb where Morris Milgram's Mod
ern Community Developers acquired land began
building houses for Negro and white occupancy and
into buzz-saw Of opposition and a marathon
Of litigation
Mostly, the story is tale of how costly ignor-
ance and prejudice can be-and how futile. The
village of Deerfied and its park district have spent
vast amounts of money and energy in legal maneuv-
ers court COSTS lawyers fees elections bond issues
and the like. They have forced the group which
into Deerfield to develop vacant land by build
ing $4,000 to $4,000 houses to spend matching
amounts in defense Yet it must have been obvious
from the beginning that only result possible
the upholdng of the rights of the developers.
Meanwhile lot of people who consider them
selves upright Christian Americans have had some
constructive if agonizing, bouts with their con-
sciences. Especially the clergy 1t is interesting how
some of the clergymen had to squirm to find posi-
tons the housing issue that they could square
with their conscences without offending their most
violent parishioners The most ingenious solution
was that of the Rev. Jack D. Parker rector Of the
Episcopal church in Deerfied. He reduced his objec-
tons to the issue that the builders had proceeded
secretly, If housing developer needs to call
town meeting before developing his plans, (But he
did initiate the opposition to the project which
opposition was based upon racsm)
Still, the clergy came through, in the long run
on the side Of Christian decency. And although
many fears were expressed and although some ir-
responsible block busting tactics were resorted
to. there no loss Of property values Nobody
panicked to the extent of sacrificing their home in
vestments because of the prospect of eight or 10

cepted the Ia

ton on the tax cut.
This enthusiasm for the tax cut
has also invaded the press. 1t
would be difficult to find a do
mestic proposal that has won as
many headlines as the tax cut.
All this publicity would tend to
make an individual suspicious. Who
would the tax cut really benefit {?
Today I propose to show that the
tax cut is an effort to increase the
spendable income of the wealthy
few at the expense Of the poverty
stricken many.
First we must determine what
the real income of an individual
really is. 1t is evident that the
real income of an individual Is not
the. income before taxes, but it is
the income after taxes. The 20%
Of the taxable income that many
individuals pay in taxes in no ways
increases the individuals buying
power. Likewise In the highest in
come brackets, neither does the
90% of the taxable income that
these individuals pay in taxes in
crease their buying power.
It would follow from this that In
order to determine how much the
tax cut benefits certain individuals,
one must compare the after-tax
income of these individuals before
and after the tax cut. President
Kennedy and the newspapers pre-
fer to ignore this increase in buy
ing power and only talk about the
taxes the individual pays before
and after the tax cut. The public
is therefore left with the illusion
that the tax cut will actually be
equitable.
The following figures by George
r. Altman in the Feb. 10th Nation
compare the buying power Of in
dividuals within various after-tax
income brackets before and after
the proposed tax cut. These fig
ures show how the Presidents tax
proposals do in fact favor the veal

Mr.. Reed has proposed that the

such a case and deprive Local 1 of
its certified status. In addition, he
recommended stipulations against
any further discrimination at the

workers in the future. This seems
to us a thoroughly constructive and
appropriate remedy. If the NLRB
will make it a firm policy to forbid

There is another catch to this
problem. The Presidents tax cut
proposal contains built-in budget
deficit of over $40 billion. Prices
of food, clothes and other standard
items for which almost all Of the
take-home pay of most people lis

to rise. This rise would wipe out

Opening lead: Diamond nine.
Today's hand was played in
the world championship in
Italy a few weeks ago, in the
match between France and Ar
gentina. Each of the four teams
in the contest Eventually won
by italy, represented a con-
tinent, so it wasn't exactly a
palooka party.
A member Of the French
team managed to mangle the
South hand. He won the first
trick with the ace of diamonds
and cashed the ace Of spades.
So far, so good.
Considers Bidding
Our Gallo champion consid-
cred East's bidding. 1t was very
likely that East had nine or
ten cards in diamonds and
clubs. This left very little room
in East's hand for spades. The
odds were probably about 3 to
l that West held the queen
of spades.
So our hero led a low spade
from his hand and finessed
with dummy's ten. This enti-
tied him to the Order Of the
Goat, third class.
East won with the queen Of
spades and defeated the con-
tract with two top diamonds
and the ace of clubs. North
looked at his partner and then
looked away tactfully. There
was a brief awkward silence,
and then the game went on.
That's how you can tell that
they were really very fine
players. In the average game
North would hasten to explain
that South couldn't lose the
contract if he put up the king
Of Spades-regardlesS Of which
opponent held the queen.
Either way, South would run
the hearts to get rid of his
low diamonds. If the queen of
spades had dropped, South
would make five; otherwise he
would make four. -a..
South thought he had good
odds in his favor, but he over
looked an absolutely sure thing ]
You can be sure his friends
will remind him of this hand
from time to time.

AFTER DARK

The next time you pick up a
staggering tab in a bar or night
club, don't think the man who
runs the place is getting rich In
a hurry by getting S24 out Of a
S. bottle Of Scotch. Don't rush
to chuck your job and 60 into
the saloon business. Give some
thought first to the case Of Alex
KarraS.
Mr.. Karras, as sports fans
know, is a professional football
player, a tackle with the Detroit
Lions. Rather, that's what he
was until given an indefinite
suspension by the National
Football League for knowing
the wrong people, or some such
thing. It was alleged, if memory
serves, that he came into con
tact with these people at a bar
Of which he was part owner, ar
establishment which provided
the climate for if not the actual
ity Of a conflict-ofintereSt case.
Mr.. Karras got back into the
news yesterday with the an
nouncement that he was selling
out to his partner in the bar
This never was announced as g
definite requirement before he
could be reinstated in pro foot
ball, but Mr.. Karras obviously
thinks it will help. He wants tC
be a football player again.

tempted to 60 into the booze
