It is no secret that since the Supreme Courts decision of May 17. 1954. there has been a steady exodus of Negroes from the Southern States into other areas of the country. Subsequent decisions of the Court. rubberstamping the demands of the NAACP and similarly minded pressure groups. and actions by the White House and the Congress to curry favor with these groups have greatly accelerated this movement of Negroes away from the Southern States. This is evident. for instance. in Chicago. where it is reported that Negro immigration from the South is so high that the population is changing from white to colored at the rate of several city blocks a week. In Philadelphia recently. Harold Stassen. that great selfanointed liberal and friend of the downtrodden masses. that highly touted enemy of bigotry. intolerance. and other such evil things exclusively southernaccording to most of the Nations presswhile running for mayor. suggested as part of his platform that he would. if elected. find a means of discouraging further Negro migration from the South into the beautiful and historic City of Brotherly Love.
