The question of to what degree fear of punishment has been effective in eradicating racial discrimination is explored in a study of (a) the broad effect of anti-discrimination legislation, which is found to have been considerable, & (b) the recentness of US efforts toward integration. It is observed that a pro-integration public policy is hardly more than a generation old anywhere in the US. Under this light, the record since then seems one of genuine achievement, esp in those areas of human conduct which anti-discrimination laws can directly reach. It is concluded that enforcement of legal equality is a precondition to the attainment of pol'al & econ equality but that anti-discrimination laws alone cannot do the whole job. Such programs as the US anti-poverty campaign & the rent supplement'program are needed, but these programs have faltered in their execution & will probably be largely abandoned. Once established & rooted in the econ & soc mores of a community, segregation is difficult & costly to eradicate. M. Maxfield.
