own racial policies and practices,
through a community-wide self-
survey conducted by joint enter-
prise of the Allegheny County In-
terracial committee and the Amer-
ican Missionary Association Depart-
ment of Race Relations.
With more than 300 citizens of
this city participating directly as
interviewers. investigators and com-
mittee members, this giant mobili-
zation of the city’s best resources
is being given technical direction
by Dr. Charles S. Johnson, head of
both the A. M. A. Race Relations
Program and the Fisk University
Institute of Social Sciences, and a
staff of seven specialists on racial
problems from the Nashville, Ten-
nessee Institution.
"This effort bears all the more
significance,” said Edward O. Ta-
bor, prominent Pittsburgh corpora-
tun attorney and noted liberal, at
a recent meeting of the sponsoring
without the presence of an emer-
gency situation such as faced the
country in 1343.
Serving as chairman of the Alle-
gheny County Interracial commit-
tee. a Char.ber of Commerce body
responsible for the survey. Mr. Ta-
bor further described this as “an
objective and scientific effort to get
the facts, and, on the basis of the
findings to plan thoughtfully ana
intelligently for what needs to be
done in tris period immediately
ahead for the general human wel-
fare of this community.”
Local Support
The survey has been given ad-
ditional local support through a
financial grant from the Pitcairn
Crabbe Foundation, a Pittsburgh
Foundation for community welfare;
after preparation of the findings,
with a perted of fact reporting and
general public education in what
the survey has found. This will
be the initial stage of the formation
of recommended action by the
sponsoring committee ef what needs
to be done in the Pitlsburgh-Alle-
Cheat County area for improved
racial and human relations.
The survey focuses upon seven,
