Other Editors Opinions—
It is surprising how many/Ameri
cans believe their principal, racial
problem is confined to the South.
For the fact is that nearly one-third
of the Negroes in the United States
now live in the North. They are
laTgely concentrated in “cities”
within cities, twelve having a pop
ulation of 100,000 each and three
nearly 1,000,000 each. And adjust;
ments are by no means always
easy or peaceful, as recurrent dis
turbances prove. *
There is no legal segregation in
the North but segregation forms
the general pattern wherever large
groups of Negroes are found. Their
own desires to live among their
own kind plus economic pressures
tend to restrict them to certain
crowded and deteriorating neigh
borhoods. And since children nor
mally attend schools nearest their
homes segregation naturally go
verns, there too as a'general prac
tice.
Such segregation, although never
touching the experience of millions
of Northerners, greatly concerns
many city and school officials. In
some cases they are attempting to
force a rfrixing of races—even go
ing across lyormal school zones to
do it. The theory is that mixing is
kse]f educational. Directly involved
is the old concept of the “melting
pot” as an adjunct of democracy.
And there is Insistence'. on the
right of .equal opportunity.
Considering the official and poli
tical efforts to Combat segregation
.in the North it has proved remark
ably, persistent. In several respects
it resembles a phenomenon Ameri
can cities have long known — im
migrants from abroad forming their
own racial or national enclaves,
maintaining their own eustany and
languages^ even,their ownJRws
papers. Often the forces making
such clannishness come as much
from within as from without.
So it is with the American Negro
—in the Northi and the South. Too
often it is assumed that segregation
is a wholly artificial pattern^ en
forced by unworthy prejudice.
Some of it is like that. But much
segregation comes 'about naturally
through the Same processes of
selection which cause individuals
to choose likeminded associates or
families to seek congenial neigh
borhoods, And white resistance to
Negro migrations within cities
arises partly from the fact that
such movements are usually, in
groups—due in turn to Negro de
sires to have friends or relatives
as neighbors. f
Officials in the North who are
trying to forcet a mixing in the
face of such forces of natural se
lection should be able better to
understand why desegregation
moves slowly in the South. So too

PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS
Coni. From Pago 6
and ride across Bogue Sound on
a boat I’ve always been a “chow
hound’’ and that ride by car and
boat did nothing to discourage my
appetite that day. We climbed the
highest dune and spread that fine
food. You know the rest of the
story without my going' any fur
ther. That’s one of the few times
I ewer ate-a meal “whole”. Just
break off hunks and swallow it
without Chewing. I got enough grit
in any craw that day to last me a
t lifetime, and I’ve never indulged
in that kind of outing since, and
don’t intend to either.
Which is enough of my opinions
and experiences. I’ll winij up by
telling you an old story which is
still my favorite after more than
20 years:
Two five year-old boys were
standing on a comer when a five
yearold girl walked by. One boy
turned to the other and said: “Her
neck’s dirty”.
The other gasped, “Her does?”
