Magazine Surrey Finds It Unncessary To Waif For
Integration Mandate To Begin Groundwork
NEW YORK
Public opinion nirv^a con*
ducted throughout the XJ.S. dur
ing the past 14 years show that
"it'is not necessary to wait un
til a majority of whites are
ready, to grant the N^pt> equal
access to schools, busra and
residential i^ghborhoods,” ac
cording to an article appearing
in the December issue of SCI-
ENTinC AISBRICAK, a month
ly magazine published here.
The article states that in
aouth«m localities which have
desegregated their schools
since tlM Supreme Court’s 1054
decision, “two-thirds of th^
white public continue to mut
ter that Negro children realljr
should go to ‘separate schools,”
although “the ffect of integra
tion has been accepted." For
this reason, the authors of the
article conclude it is not neces
sary to wait for “a majority
mandate from the people" be
fore precoMJIng with desegrega
tion.
The article reports the re
sults of surveys conducted by
the National Opinion Research
Center at the University of Chi
cago. The authors are Herbert
H. Hyman, professor of soci
ology at Columbia' University,
and Paul B. Sheatsley, director
of the Eastern office of the Na
tional Opinion Research Cen
ter.
NORC surveys show that,
“the long-term trend is steadily
in the direction of integration,”
the authon say. They attribute
this change, in part at least, to
“revolutionary changes in an
cient beliefs about Negroes”
and to “the continued influx of
better educated and more tole
rant ytmnc people into tiie
fective adult public."
Fixed BtHef Chonffed
An hnportant change in |taed
beBefs about ttte ar
tide notes, is that mnceming a
survey question: "In general',
do you think Negroes are os in
telligent as white people—that
is, can they lewn things just as
well if they are given the same
education and training?"
"On this issue," the authors
report, “there has been a dra
matic chBi^ in people’s be
lief!, both in the North ud the
South. Fifteen years ago 90 per
cent of NovthOTners answered
“No” to the question, but today,
only one Northern white parson
in sevoi says that Negroes ar«
inferior in intelligence. In the
South a substantial majority to
day credit Negroes with equal
inteUigence, against only 21 per
cent in 1942.”
(Nonetheless, the article
points out, “it is obvious that
favorable beliefs about Intelli'
gence do not automatleaUy pro
duce integimtionist attttudes. A
full -Huree qusrteis of ttie South'
emers who concede the Negro’s
intelligence neverttieless still
maintain a segregationist posi
tion. Plainly, however, their
position is not as firmly based as
it formerly was. Once the edu
cability of the Negro has been
granted, it becomes consider
ably more difficult to argue
against integration in the
schools."

Booker Washington Birth
place, Va....Dr. G. Lake Imes,
former Secretary of Tuskegee
Institute, who served five years
under Booker T. Washington
and twenty years under his suc
cessor, Dr, Robert R. Morton,
states that Washington is honor
ed today and will always be re
membered for easing the ten
sions between the races follow
ing the Civil War and helping
to build a new South to replace
the South that passed away with
slavery.
Dr. Imes served Tuskegee In
itiate foa: twenty-five years
and knew Dr. Washington inti
mately. “Booker Washington”,
he said, “was a genius in the
art of persuasion. He did not de
nounce those who made their
appeals to the law, to the courts,
and to legislation. It was unfor
tunate that his detractors could
recognize no other instrument
in the service of hiunan rights
than their own preferred wea
pons. Their antagonism toward
the use of persuasion is a great
testimonial to the power that
lies behind it and to the man
who used it so skillfully in the
interests of his people."

NAACP Organ
Analyzes Why
Of Vote Sliift
NEW YORK
An "election post-mortem" in
the December issue of THE
CRISIS, official journal of the
NAACP, asserts that “the shift
(to the GOP) in the voting pat
tern of Negroes was undoubted
ly Influenced by the question of
civil rights."
“Republicans have not pudi-
SATimDAT, DEC. IS, IIM
ed civil rights legislation in
CongrcM, but neither have they
produced such implacable civil
rights foes as Senator Eastland
and others of his ilk," the adi-
torial maintains. "The Supreme
Court decision outlawing segre-
gation in the nation’s public
schools also favored the Bepub-
licans because it was handed
down during a Republican ad
ministration.’’
The Negrophobic Ivhlte Ci
tizens Councils, naturally, alie
nated many Southern N^roes.
Many of them must, therefore,
have voted Republican in pro
test.”
Another CRISIS editorial
hails the U. S. Supr«ne Court
ruling which banned bus segre
gation in Alabama because “for
Negroes this means the ultimate
removal of one of the most hu
miliating features of segregated
Southern life."
“Any Southern opposition to
its Implementation is bound in
the long run to fail," the edi
torial declares.
