Hartford study: Integration helps blacks remove social barriers Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. — A 15-year study of black youngsters in Hart ford shows that those attending pre dominantly white suburban schools made greater strides toward social equality and acceptance than those attending black city schools. “This is very strong evidence that the schools can play a big role in breaking down the racial barriers that have caused so much trouble,” said Robert Crain, the researcher of the study by the Center for Social Organization of Schools at Johns Hopkins University, the Rand Cor poration and Hartford public schools. The study traced the education, economic and social development of black students involved in Project Concern, a desegregation experi ment begun in Hartford in 1966. Of the 661 students in the study suburbs and 343 remained in pre dominantly black city schools. The study found that students who attended suburban schools overwhelmingly gravitated toward racially mixed settings as adults. Blacks who remained at predomi nantly black schools generally pro jected a less receptive and sometimes hostile attitude toward living and working in racially mixed settings, the study found. It found that blacks attending predominantly white suburban schools were more likely to graduate from high school, attend predomi nantly white colleges and complete more years of college. They perceived less discrimina tion in college and in other areas of adult life in Hartford. And they were involved in fewer incidents with police and got into fewer fights as adults. They tended to have closer and more frequent social contact with whites as adults, were more likely to live in desegregated neighborhoods, and women in the group were less likely to have a child before they were 18 years old. The report, the first long-term study of the broad effects of school desegregation, suggests that school desegregation helps promote social equality and acceptance — a conten tion desegregation critics have often challenged. Despite the successes, the Hart ford Board of Education voted in 1981 to phase out Project Concern because of financial problems. It reversed its decision after the suburban school districts offered to help out with funding. Thirteen suburban school districts now participate in the program, which will serve about 790 students this year. The entire report has not been published yet, but researchers have referred to their findings in articles written for education journals. United Steelworkers fighting wage cuts continue strike Associated Press MONESSEN, Pa. — Mark Hyslop wanted to attend business school when he graduated from high school over nine years ago. Instead he decided to take a job in the local steel plant after a neighbor told him about openings. “I think now maybe that was a mistake,” the 27-year-old crane op erator, who was sitting with a union buddy, said. They were on picket duty in the United Steelworkers’ 60- day-old walkout to hold the line against wage concessions at Wheel- ing-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. Vince Nightman, 35, said he gave up a job at an electrical equipment factory outside Pittsburgh to work at Wheeling-Pittsburgh’s Monessen plant. Like some 8,200 other USW pick ets against Wheeling-Pittsburgh, Hyslop and Nightman are soldiers for organized labor in the battle to save what generations of USW mem bers have struggled to achieve —one of the highest manufacturing wage rates in the world. Wages, fringe benefits and other components of hourly labor costs for unionized steelworkers reached an all-time high of $26.29 in the fall of 1982, according to the American Irpn and Steel Institute. Wheeling-Pittsburgh, teetering on the brink of insolvency for several years, won concessions that dropped its hourly labor rate to $21.40 before filing for reorganization in federal bankruptcy court last April. The company is now leading the steel industry’s push to bring labor costs closer to those in domestic mini-mills or in foreign mills, where production can be government-sub sidized and wages are low. Officials at Wheeling-Pittsburgh say the company cannot survive without further reducing labor costs to $15.20 per hour. With labor con tracts expiring next August throughout the industry, competing steelmakers have begun asking the USW for a share of whatever savings the seventh-largest producer wins in its current labor conflict. No matter who wins, Monessen al ready has been battered. The 2-mile- long steel plant owes $207,000 in real estate taxes, or 21 percent of the city’s income from all property tax. The production halt has also drained nearly $80,000 from ihe city’s treasury, City Administrator Paul J. Shives said. Americans saving less money Associated Press NEW YORK — Whatever Ameri cans have been doing with their money lately, they apparently haven’t been saving very much of it. The latest figures from the Com merce Department indicate the sav ings rate — the percentage of in come not spent — was 3.4 percent in both June and July. Month by month, the figures tend to jump around quite a bit. But so far this year, the rate has lagged be hind the 6 percent annual rate that has prevailed in recent years. Even that latter figure looks paltry when you consider the standard rec ommendation of most financial ad visers that people should aim to save at least 10 percent of their disposa ble income in their working years. According to the University of Michigan’s Survey Research Center, less than two-thirds of U.S. house holds list savings accounts among their assets. Because of the indirect way in which they are calculated, the Com merce Department’s data on the sav ings rate “should always be viewed somewhat skeptically,” said Maury Harris, chief economist at the Wall Street firm of PaineWebber Inc., in a recent report on the subject. “However, the recent drop in the Commerce Department’s savings rate measure is so large and the re sulting level so low that it should not be ignored.” Harris says several forces have combined lately to depress savings. The problems faced by farmers la tely have evidently made savings an unaffordable luxury for many peo ple in areas of the country where ag riculture sets the pace of the econ omy. In addition, he notes, a large part of the population — the fabled “baby boom” generation — is now in the 30-45 age group, which tradi tionally uses debt more heavily than the rest of the population. To go beyond Harris’s analysis, this last point seems particulary tell ing. Just a few years ago, when inter est rates were at two-digit levels, sav ings vehicles like money market mutual funds and money market de posit accounts at banks and savings institutions enjoyed explosive growth. Today, offering interest at about a 7 percent annual rate, money funds and MMDAs simply .don’t have the same kind of appeal.
