“Poverty is expensive when
you treat it halfway with hand
outs. Four out of five children
on welfare raise their own fam
ilies on welfare. And taxpayers,
including you, Harry, must sup
port them. Laugh that off.”
This public information ap
proach was backed by many Dal-
as firms as an imaginative and
daring public servire.

“Black Power can win or con

power. The only power that can
do any good is the power of
love.” —Joan Baez.

—A Louisiana dnive-in restau
rant chain, with nine units, had
no Negro managers, one Negro
curb attendant and three Negro
countermen. When the Equal
Employment Opportunity Com
mission stepped in for concilia
tion, things changed quickly. The
chain now has two Negro man
agers, seven Negro curb men and
ten Negro countermen. The chain
also promised to promote qual
ified Negroes from within and to
advertise in Negro newspapers.
—Sweetbriar College in Lynch
burg, Va., has appealed to the
U. S. Supreme Court to restrain
state authorities from enforcing
the segregated will of its foun
der, Indiana F. Wiliams, whose
bequest stated that the college
should be “for white girls and
young women.” Last September,
the first Negro student enrolled
at the fashionable women’s col
lege.
—The day before Christmas, 150
Negro teenagers marched on the
District 4 police station in Cin
cinnati—for a Christmas party,
with gifts, for the District’s 83
policemen. One placard on the
march said: “Santa Claus is de
pendable one day a year — but
District 4 is dependable 365 days
a year.”
EDUCATION AND
THE WAR ON POVERTY
“In the first year, a typical on-
the-job trainee,” reports Secre
tary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz,
“repays the Federal Government
(in taxes) about 43 per cent of
its total investment in him. Be
fore the second year is over, the
government has been repaid in
full.”
Currently, we spend $564 per
pupil in elementary and high
schools. If we think that’s too
much, we can push them on the
path to prison. There, of course,
the cost of maintaining one per
son for a yearvis $2,690.
ON FREEDOM LANE
When one of the nation’s big
gest home-builders says open oc
cupancy works, maybe we should
all listen. William J. Levitt, pres
ident of Levitt and Sons, who
once sold only Jim Crow homes,
told Congress that his company
sold $74 million worth of houses
last year, a five-fold increase in
the last five years “since we
began to sell on an open occu
pancy basis.” He said that selling
houses on that' basis in areas
where there are fair housing laws
is profitable, that there are no
outbreaks^ no violence, no pick
eting, no commotion of any kind.
In response to questions, he said
that colored residents are accept
ed by their neighbors and that
when they leave the houses they
occupy the company has no prob
lem selling such dwellings fb
white buyers.
Backing up Levitt’s testimony
is a report proving once again
that property values do not drop
after non-whites locate in a resi
dential area. The San Francisco
Council for Civic Unity noted
that not a single census tract in
Oakland — including the areas
where Negroes located for the
first time — suffered a drop in
property values between 1950 and
1960. Census figures revealed the
following examples:
—In one area four Negro fam
ilies and 765 white families lived
in homes valued at $11,789 in
1950. In 1960, 101 Negro fam
ilies and 935 white families lived
in homes valued at $19,000—an
increase of 60 per cent.
—By contrast, in an exclusive
area that effectively barred Negro
home seekers, property values
rose only about 30 per cent—15
per cent less than the overall
average for the city.
