Another Battle
Defeat of the "Freedom Demo-
-ats" in the fight over creden-
als could increase chances for
later battle over the so-called
oyalty oath" which supposedly
mmits state delegations to sup-
>rt of the national ticket.
The 1960 convention approved

's all-white delegation abrogated

a proposal, but my concern is
they might follow it," he said.
Leadership Lag
Harper said he feels Michigan's
"party leadership" has failed to
take a positive enough attitude
on the issue, particularly in that
"no effort has been made thus
far to instruct potential members
of the credentials committee that
this is where they must stand up
and fight."
He declined to single out any-
one by name except to exclude Na-
tional Committeewoman Mildred
Jeffrey whom, he said, "certainly
would not be a party to that."
Not sharing Harper's concern,
Ferency said he thinks the "Free-
dora Democrats" would lose Mich-
igan support only if they lacked
"sound legal basis" for their claim
to represent their state.
Matter of Principle
"It is entirely possible that their
basic legal position would be so
bad that we couldn't help them
anyway," he said, "but aside from
that one factor, if it were sim-
ply a matter of principle I am
sure we would support them, and
be prepared to fight."
One Mississippi delegation or the
other will go to the convention
with the approval of an interim
credentials committee of the par-
ty's national headquarters.
It apparently is their determi-
nation to win this first round, Fer-
ency said, that moved the "Free-
dom Democrats" to invite Demo-
cratic National Chairman John
Bailey to their convention next
week.

tion goes to Atlantic City with

fight will then take place in the
regular credentials committee, on
which each state has two mem-
bers.
In case the credentials com-
mittee rejects the "Freedom Dem-
ocrats," said Ferency, Michigan
and the five other states will
pool their 12 votes for a minority
report and carry the fight to the
convention floor.
As far as Harper's claim that
"potential" credentials committee
people have not been instructed
is concerned, Ferency said, "we
don't know who the 'potentials'
are."

SRC REPORT
Urban P
Over half of metropolitan area
families think they might move
during the next five years; and
a large proportion of them want
to move farther out from city
centers, according to a recent
Survey Research Center study.
The study, "Residential Loca-
tion and Urban Mobility," also
indicates that inconvenience or
distance from work will not be a
major deterrent to further out-
ward migration.
Sponsored by the Bureau of
Public Roads, U.S. Department of
Commerce, the study is based on
824 personal interviews with a
national cross-section of families
living in U.S. metropolitan areas,
excluding New York City. Its aim
is to investigate the forces which
affect urban growth and urban
transportation by intensive study
of decisions taken by private
households.
Reasons for Residence
A report on the findings by SRC
program directors John B. Lan-
sing and Eva Mueller, and re-
search assistant Nancy Barth, re-

Open Spaces
It appears that people, and par-
ticularly young people with chil-
dren, do attach a positive value
to closeness to the out-of-doors,
open spaces, informal living, in
addition to status considerations.
The finditigs of this study under-
line the importance of parks, rec-
reation areas, open spaces, and'
careful segregation of land uses,
if a physical environment pleasing
to the resident is to be main-
tained or created closer to urban
centers.
The number of people wanting
to move from an apartment to a
single family house is much larger
than the number interested in the
opposite change. The recent .boom
in apartment demand reflects
demographic and financial
changes, but not a shift in con-
sumer preferences.
There is a widespread desire
for vacation homes or cottages. A
Automobile ownership and the
number of miles the principal
family car is driven each year de-
pend upon income and to some
degree upon distance from city
center and the age of the city.
Choice of transportation to work
does not appear to be sensitive to
cost. Most people never have es-
timated the cost of driving to
work. Those who have made esti-
mates report widely varying costs
per mile.
People overwhelmingly say they
would prefer to go to work by
car rather than by common car-
rier, if cost and time expended
are about the same.
