Some Plan To Solve Race Issuies Favored Problem Won'l Work Out Alone, Survey Shows Majority Feels gave no opinion. I some systematic action; 29 per Negroes in the same areas, I cent tlmik the problem will on tbe other hand, advanced h I ventured no opinion. 65 per cent opinion in favor oi' work itself out; only 6 per cent The Negro-White problem, considered by Americans the greatest lacing the natfOtt'tiK day, will not solve itself. A so lution will come only from a de finite plan. These facts are revealed by a nation-wide survey made for the Catholic Digest by .an inde pendent opinion research firm. Ifeportfng' tn -the September is sue on one of the aspects of the survey,' the Digest explains, “Three persons in every five, ^r 60 per cent, argued the need ^ for a definite plan. Only three out of ten, 29 per cent, said that the problem will work Itself out.” ~ One of the questions concern ing an approach to, the Negro- White problem, dealt with the placing of responsibility: ‘‘Do you think that the problem is something for Negroes to work out by themselves or should Whites work on it also?" Both sides seem to realize that Whites, who created the prob lem in the first place, should share in the burden of solving it. Nationally, nine out of ten, 89 per cent say that Whites should not leave the problem to Negroes. The northern vote for such White participation was 90 per cent; the southern White, 88 per crat; Negroes, north and south, 92 per cent each. Substantial agreement does appear among all groups on the necessity for some form of ac tion, the survey found. 69 per cent of all Whites and 70 per cent of all Negroes eschew a peace-at-any-price policy while only 30 per cent of Whites and 24 per cent of Negroes would let things slide. Moreover, and perhaps sur prisingly to some, southern Whites are almost as solidly in favor of a specific program as the Whites of the north. In mixed areas, both north and south, it seems that Whites are more satisfied with the way things work out between them and their colored neighbors than the Negro neighbors are. Thus, only 48 per .cent of Whites liv ing in mixed areas In the north assent to any need for a definite plan for solution of the race problem; 83 per cent see no need for any plan; 19 per cent J. W.

C., SATURDAY, SEPT. 8, 1956 naCE: It CENTS Government Enters Ark. School Dispute WASHINGTON, D. C. For the first time the Federal Government has intervened for mally in a local school dispute over integration. In a brief filed in St. Louis with'the 8th Cir cuit Court of Appeals, the Jus tice Department is contending that the group in Hoxie, Ark., for' segregation illegally acted when they tried to restore racial segregation in a newly integra ted school last year. Hoxie had acted as a model community last year when less than a month after the Supreme Court’s ruling, its school board had attempted to integrate 2f Negro kids into its school of I, 000 white children. All went well for abopt three weeks until mass meetings of protest began. And hate protests were fonned by members of the White Citi zens Council of Ark. and White America, Inc. School sessions were suspended as white parents tried to keep their kids Itame and Negro parents were told to do likewise. Finally the School Board got restraining order and e]i4ntual- ly a^ parmanen^ l^jUncticga from ^e local Fedeeal CcMu^ sgaii^ %ny further iM&rference with their plan to integrate. The Justice Department’s new brief aslu that the appellate court keep in force that injunc tion obtained by the school board to prevent interference with its integration program. Moreover, acting as a “friend of the court” the Justice Depart ment called the action of the residents of Hoxie, Ark. as ille gal conduct for the purpose of forcing the school board to vio late the law,” As prepared by Asst.
