Exchange Reporters Compare Race Relations in Two Cities

The Milwaukee Journal and Spartanburg Herald exchange reporters to study race relations in their areas. Spartanburg faces desegregation while maintaining law and order, with big industry and low unemployment, yet whites oppose integration and Negroes remain in an inferior position. North and South share segregation, with Milwaukee and Wisconsin described as hypocritical in racial policy and facing a split Negro middle class.

Southerner Views De Facto Segregation

Fred Rigsbee writes from Spartanburg about de facto segregation in Milwaukee and other cities. He notes housing patterns confine 58 percent of Milwaukee’s 78 000 Black residents to a two square mile Inner Core, leading to segregated schools and commerce. Trade unions erect barriers, with civil rights observers citing stark inequality. Total care for the child with cerebral palsy will be the theme of a September dental seminar at Kennedy Memorial Hospital with Dr Spencer N Frankl directing and nine experts attending. Dentists may register with James D Fenn in Berkshire County.
