town, peers into well worn village
homes and looks askance at the

Working with three "ologies":
socio-, psycho- and bio-, this ac-

acters work to blend, strengthen
and sometimes aggravate one an-,

Arthur Seaton (Albert Finney)
is a worker who has become mech-

which purchases run-down hous-
ing units, renovates, them and
thenrents apartments at low cost.
The first 14 houses have already
been opened, offering units at $50
a month. CHIP hopes to set up a
similar project. However,. approval
from the - city- government is
needed.
The Wade House is financed'
primarily through the Unitedi
Fund, donations from- three- local
Philadelphia foundations, and the
Friends' church. CHIP does not,
however, receive fundsr from the
United Fund. Money for this pro-,
j ect is received from the founda-
tions and the neighborhood. j
Overtones of Black Power
According to Roose, at the be-.,
ginning of the mass activating of
CHIP, some of the local commun-
ity leaders were doubtful and felt
that perhaps a project connected
with Wade House should not be
involved in something which had
overtones of Black Power and
might turn into a race riot. Since
the results have been productive,
opposition for the most part has
subsided.
Roose, commenting on the re-
action, said, "The poor have been
denied everything and then the ing committee. "The poverty pro-}

two words-Black Power-said by
one guy, Stokely Carmichael. Peo-
ple are just about calling for his
neck. Five years ago they were
after Malcolm X, and five years
before that they were after Mar-
tin Luther King. Who will they be
after five years from now?
The local organizations of Wade
House have also been opposed to
the Greater Chester Movement, a
program of the Office of Economic
Opportunity. Until recently, this
group, like all poverty programs,
has not involved local residents of
the ghetto on the city wide steer-
not involve the poor and therefore
is neither desirable or significantly
productive. In the last two years,
the Chester movement has spent
$2;400,000.. There are questions
about where these funds are going
that the local residents wants an-
swered," Roose said.
Riots in 1964
The Greater Chester Movement
was set up as a result of the race
riots in 1963-64. The riots were
caused by inferior educational
facilities in a local elementary
school.
Roose also points out that CHIP
is not a civil rights movement but
rather a movement for the poor-
white and black. Organization of
poor whites is a part of the long
range goal. "If issues which are
common to both poor whites and
poor blacks are dealt with, I think
the two groups will work together.
I'd like to try this type of organ-
izing," Roose said.
In addition to CHIP, the settle-
ment also has local programs con-
cerned with education, recreation,
and outside contact. Eighty-four
students from Swarthmore College
have recently volunteered to work
for the settlement, primarily doing
research into existing social con-
ditions in the area'
