Race Relations Seen Improving in 1953 Survey
NEW YORK June 18 The American Jewish Congress and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People report race relations in the United States improved slowly but perceptibly in 1953. The sixth annual joint survey credits the Eisenhower administration with preserving past gains and pursuing new reforms. The groups note the Supreme Court ban on school segregation could be carried out without disruption. The most encouraging finding is a drop in assaults on minorities, with five bombings of homes occupied by Negroes in 1953 versus ten in 1952, and fewer Negro deaths and injuries at the hands of peace officers.
