It should be noted that the above tables
dealing with arrests on felony charges
are broken down by race, and by adult
and juvenile categories.

Mr. Speaker; these facts speak for
themselves and require no explanation
on the part of anyone.. The people of the
District of Columbia are entitled to this
information.

‘Mr. Speaker, there are many other

reasons why the people of the South,
who know the problems involved, will
never submit to integration in their pub-
lic schools, the Supreme Court’s fiat
notwithstanding.

Mr. Speaker, are there dlfl’erences be-
tween the races with respect to moral
standards: do the two races. really ap-
ply a double standard of morals? Why
do so many white people object to send-

ing their children to integrated schools,

even in the enlishtened District of
‘Columbia?

I think it well that all should know

_the facts, and as amazing and distaste-

ful as they are, I submit the following,
which is an official report of the District
of Columbia Department of Public
Health:

An analysis of this table shows that,
of 854 cases of gonorrhea among school-
age children reported in 1955, 834—or
97.8 percent—were Negro."

This is but another reason why South-

ern States will never submit to inte-
grated public schools.

The adult pattern of venereal d1<ease
is no different. In the Nation’s Capital,
Negroes account for 95 percent of the
venereal disease cases reported. The

following, also taken from an official
report of the District of Columbia De-
partment of Public Health, shows con-
ditions with respect to adult venereal
disease:
