Mr. Speaker, there is even another rea-
son which causes southerners to reject
integration. This is not a pleasant sub-
ject, but it is true, nevertheless. It is a
fact that the Negro rate of illegitimate
births is about 11 times greater than the
white race, and that a substantial num-
ber of Negro schoolchildren are illegiti-
mate.

Columbia Department of Public Health,
and is one of their official publications.
The second was taken from a book by Mr.
W. E. Debnam, a North Carolina writer,
and appears in his book, Then My Old
Kentucky Home, Goodnight. I cannot
vouch for the accuracy of the figures in
the second table, but believe them to be

On December 28, 1955, Mr. Gerard M.
Shea, Director of Public Welfare for the
District of Columbia, furnished my of-
fice with the following information re-
garding welfare recipients: -
1. The number of colored recipients of
welfare (all phases) in the Dlstrlct of Co-
lumbia is 13,800.
2. The number of white recipients of wel-
fare (all phases) in the District of Columbia
- s 4,700.
3. The number of colored illegitimate
children receiving aid from the Department
is 2,750.
382798—58063
Biostatics and Health, Education Division, Mar. 8, 1956.
4. The number of white illegitimate chil-
dren receiving aid from the Department is
150.
Mr. Speaker, it has not been my pur-
pose in presentmg the foregoing to es-
tablish one race as a super race, or to
present the other as a race of degener-
ates. I do not hold to either of these
beliefs.
Perhaps some of the facts in the fore-
going dissertation may appear to be
cruel, but they are no less cruel than the
lies that have been spread about my
people and my State. At least, the fig-

ures I have presented are based on fac-
tual studies by impartial agencies, and
are taken from official Government files.
I have presented this information with
the hope that the truth may open the
eyes of those who have been blinded
by leftwing: propaganda and brain-
washed by a biased press.
The foregoing is unvarnished truth.
It might be well to mull over the old
adage:
There are none so blind as those who will
not see.
