In a survey of three cities-Chicago, Washington and Boston-the study found that four out of every five white policemen working in Negro neighborhoods have prejudiced attitudes toward Negroes. The report estimated that 45% of the white police (and, surprisingly, nearly 10% of the Negro police) showed near pathological hostility: "These scum aren't people". . ."We oughta gas these niggers-they're ruining the country."

Launched two years ago in the Roman Catholic archdioceses of Detroit and St. Louis, Project Equality last week issued its first progress report-and progress it had to report. The campaign has now spread to ten states, includes more than 7,500 Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox and Jewish congregations with a combined purchasing power of nearly $2 billion a year. To date, more than 15,000 firms, ranging from two-man shops to corporations employing more than 100,000 people, have pledged their cooperation. By the end of next year, predicts Project Equality's national director, Catholic Layman Thomas Gibbons...
