Dollars to Democrats. When Bob Wagner, as a boy, was hobnobbing with New York's great and near-great, Jack Javits was a skinny-legged Jewish kid on Manhattan's Lower East Side ("In New York State," he says, "that is like being born in a log cabin").

While his log-page report is confined to the South's largest city, Houston (pop. 725,000), it is a good indication of the Negro's material advances throughout the Southland...
