Newspaper Page TextPatrolling The Main Stem By Brick Mason MONEY: A special study made by the United States Housing And Hom'e Finance Agency on income levels is probably the basis of the President’s recent ruling in hous ing. The study provided informa tion as to the income levels, jobs and education status and housing needs of the non-white population. The study among other things showed a spectacular rise in the proportions of income increase among non-whites as compared to whites in the ten years immediate ly preceding the present admin istration. One area showed Ne groes earning oVer six thousand dollars a year had increased by more than fifteen times over a ten year period, and in this brac ket incomes made a sixty per cent climb. Twenty eight times as many Negroes moved into the five to six thousand dollars earners were increased by nearly eighteen times. The level of education also showed gains. The striking con trast however, was the increased number of Negroes living in sub standard houses, the comparison is reputed to be the basis of the President’s equal housing opport unity order.
