Study Disputes Property Value Declines When Races Mix
DAYTON^— The widely
held view that' home values
decline 1 n racially changing
neighborhoods is sharply dis.
puted in a pioneer study by
the National Urban League.
The survey compared the
values of 249,352 homes i n
six major cities In Ohio over
the 10 year period from 19
5$ to 1960, and found that
regardless of whether the
houses were situated in white
Negro mixed or changing
neighborhoods, they rose uni"
formly in value in that dec
ade.
In contrast to previous
studies of the effect of racial
composition on neighborhood
property values, the Urban
League survey was not a
spot check or sampling of
houses in the tlx cities. In
stead, all the houses in 339
United States census tracts
—nearly a quarter of a mil
lion home*— were included
In the si^vey.
In making public the find
ings last week, Ray Brown,
Mldeastern director of the
national organization, said.
"Our study included every
census tract for which data
were available in the cities

The study, undertaken for
the OhiQ| Valley Council of
Urban Leagues by Sherwood
Ross, news director for the
National Urban League in
New York was based on
information from the United
States census of housing in
1950 and 19«0.
With the assistance of
Arthur Young, cheif of th e
housing division of the Cen-1
sua Bureau in Washington,
Ross obtained data on all six
Ohio cities for which hous
ing information was avail
able. He compared each cen
sus tract in the six cities for
which the median value of
homes was computed in 1950
and 1960.
In every one of th e 339
census tracts, the median
value of the homes was found
to have increased in the 10
year period. Moreover, it was
found that as a rule tthe per"
centage increase in homes
values was much greater
than the trend of monetary
inflation over the decade,

lerti; Constance Baker Motley,
Fund associate counsel, now on
leav*, received degrees from
Western College for Women,
which was put at about 20
percent. This applied irres.
pective of racial change in,
the tracts.
Commenting on the find-j
ings, Brown said: "There is,
not a shred of evidence to in. j
dicate that nome values fall:
in changing neighborhoods. |
Many Negro neighborhoods
and changing neighborhoods
reflect home value increases;
higher than those of all white j
neighborhoods.
"Any white homeowner in j
Ohio who sold his home for j
less than he paid for it, or |
for less than its Teal value, |
was gypped by unscrupu-l
lous real estate swindlers
many of the same men who!
fear open occupancy because J
it would break their stran-!
glehold on the housing mar- j
ket."

24 States Seek Details of New
York Anti-Measles Measure
NEW YORK— Passage of a
New York State law to raise
jommon immunity of children
n the state "to highest rea
sonable level" in the next five
years has prompted legislative
inquiries from "more than two
dozen states," according to
State Sen. Seymour R. Thaler,
author of the law.
Under the new law, vaccine
will be available without charge
to licenced private physicians,
hospitals, and clinics for immu
nization of any New York child
requiring it.
"I have every reason to be
'ieve that other states will
adopt similar measures," said
Senator Thaler. He is Chairman
of the New York Senate Com
mittee on Public Health, and
originator of the EMINY (End
Measles in New York) program,
which was launched shortly af
ter the introduction of the new
one-shot, Schwarz-strain meas
les vaccine in February of this
year.

Mr. Brown noted that two

j the validity of the assumption
that realistic values placed

! pancy in replying to census
question.

I plied by the owners against

I figures for six tracts in Wash.
| with a study of selling prices
i of 700 homes made by Erd-
I man Palmore, a former Pro
fessor of Sociology at Yale
■ University and now with the

U. S. and Chief of the Commu
nicable Disease Center in At
lanta, Ga., who has pointed out
that common measles U a cause
of childhood death, disability,
and retardation, made a broad,
er perdiction. He said that New
York's action "should encour
age other states to consider the
desirability of a measles immu
nization program to aid in our
figkt to eliminate measles by
1970."
Discussing implementation of
the Ne** York program Dr
Granville W. Larimore, First
Deputy Health Commissioner
of New York, said that em
phasis will be placed on "vacci
nation of those children who
might not otherwise be vaccin
ated by private physicians.
"Our first target group will
be children under 2 years of
age," Dr. Larimore continued.
"This is where vaccination li
likely to do the most good. We
shall start with the young and
work our way up in age as the
program goes on."
He explained that most chil
dren have common measles be
fore entering school. By initial
ly concentrating on the young
est preschoolers, more children
can be protected against th e
I'sease sooner.
Larimore concluded by
saving that the program should
have "a significant Impact on
the incidence of measles in the
state in the next five years."
The new law allocates SSOO,
000 for immediate use In the
long-range project. Funds ap
propriated will be used to pay
the full cost of measles vaccine
bought by the state, or by com
munities with reimbursement
by the state.
Responsibility for the devel
opment of the program is given
to the State Commissioner of
Health, Dr. Hollis S. Ingraham,
who will set up an Intensive
program of education and im
munization against common
measles between now and April
1, 1070. He will seek the sup
port and cooperation of pri
vate, professional, and com
munity group*.
Robinson Hits
Bias in Hiring
Practices
Jackie Roblmon, who broke
the color line In baseball, to
night called upon the American
business community to "break
through the 'unsound barrier'
of discrimination against the
hiring of Negroes."
And, for emphasis, he assist
ed in the presentation of two
scholarships for graduate study
to a pair of outstanding Negro
athletes who wish to pursue
careers in business.
Fred Slaughter, one of the
finest basketball players in re
cent UCLA history, who was
center and captain of the 1964
national championship team,
and Donald Sykes, a Northern
California col leg ia t e tennis
champion who recently gradu
ated from the University of
California at Berkeley, each
were presented with $2,000
acholarships which will enable
them to continue with graduate
studies.
Slaughter was designated as
the recipient of $2,000 placed in
the Harry Thompson scholar
ship fund by Old Charter Dis
tilling Co. in honor of Thomp
son, a former UCLA and Los
Angeles Ram football star who
celebrated his 10th anniversary
as a sales representative in
California for the Old Charter
company.

and Sykkyi was chosen as the
recipient qt this amount.
Bernard Goldberg, president
of Affiliated Distillers Brands
Corp., major marketing arm of
Schenley Industries, Inc., which
is the parent company of Old
Charter Distilling Co., present
ed the two scholarships at a
special awards banquet at the
International Hotel in Los An
geles.
"In the past five years or so,
we have 'witnessed the wide
spread acceptance on the part
of the business community of
obligations above and beyond
the immediate goal of profit,"
said Goldberg.
"O u r company has always
tried to be ahead of the times —
and ahead of our industry—in
embracing the concept of so
cial responsibility.
"Our interest in education
reflects this concern," Goldberg
added.
Robinson lauded the scholar
ship program, pointing out,
"This scholarship, specifically
created to enable a deserving
Negro student-athlete to earn
a master's degree in business
administration, shows there is
definitely a crake in the 'un
sound barrier.' "
The former Dodger baseball
star who was the first Negro
enshrined in baseball's Hall of
Fame, issued his challenge to
American business when he
said, "While much has been
done to break through the 'un
sound barrier" much more
needs to be done.
"These two scholarships, spe
cifically created by a company
of international scope and a
local Los Angeles resident and
businessman who is willing to
lend a helping hand to ambi
tion, show that there Is a crack
in the 'unsound barrier.'
"I believe that enlightened man
agement in many companies
would hire more Negro Junior
executives if the applicants had
a sound education in business
administration. In short, we
need more scholarship activity
if this kind."
New York is the first state
in the nation to officially rec
ognize common measles as a
major public health threat! and
to take steps against the dis
ease.
