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.
