Educational work shops and printed and visual materials will also be used to reach Negroes in search of improving their housing con ditions. A second area of operation will be to service and coordi nate the efforts of existing fair bousing groups and to stimulate new ones where needed, A key feature of this area will be a neighborhood stabilization ef fort to forestall panic selling and to otherwise stem the flight of white families from neigh borhoods that are integrating.

A complex problem - to which the first, easy answers are wrong is presented in the increasing evidence of the non white worker’s rejecting avail able unskilled, low-paid work because he knows he would have been equipped for something better If he had had a fair chance earlier, and because the work is itself a symbol of pre vious economic bondage. The non-white unemployment problem is merging rapidly with the broader problem of the dis advantaged worker. The num ber of hard core unemployed those out of work 15 weeks or more -- dropped markedly be tween the last quarter in 1963 and the last quarter in 1965, from over 1 million to 675,000.
