“One of the basic roots of the

"Powell has charged that con

He said he favors a $26,000,000

Powell’s $1,544 tab was also puny
compared to that of Rep. Otto
Passman (D.,La.), who made a
trip around the world and another
to Europe at a total cost of
$4,556.
“Similarly, other congressional
friends and relatives go off on
junkets. Last year, Philip Pat
man, a college student who is a
cousin of Rep. Wright Patman
(D. Texas), went on a eeven-na
tion tour for the Joint Economic
Committee, which Patman once
headed. Thomas H. Boggs, son
of House Majority Whip Hale
Boggs (D., La.)., also went. They
were described as consultants.
"Nepotism didn’t begin with
Adam. Like Powell, a number of
representatives have their wives
or other relatives on their pay
rolls. Representative Boggs em
ploys his wife at $7,800 annually,
Rep Richard Bolling (D., Mo.)
pays his wife $9,420. Although the
wife of Rep. W. Donlon Edwards
(D., Calif.) gets paid by the Cali
fornia insurance firm he heads,
she receives $924 a month as his
administrative assistant. Rep.
Elizabeth Kee (D. W.Va.) pays
her son James $15,350 annually,
and Rep. George Meader (R.,
Mich.) pays his daughter $2,000

While grumbling about Mrs. Pow

ever.
“The often audacious behaviorof
Adam Powell has focused atten

catch up to the rear end of
American democratic creeds in
race relations. Its apartheid is
codified in city ordinances; Its
city hall has water fountains la
beled “white and “colored”; its
state liquor stores have separate
entrances for whites and Negroes
with a chain dividing the store
into racial halves. Negro boot
blacks at downtown stands can’t
shine a Negro’s shoes.
This is the scabrous crust of
racial dementia that has built
up and hardened over the gen
erations of intimidation, police
brutality, lynching, fear, yorel
morality and a political exped
ency that had no need to acco
modate a disfranchised Negro.
But some hardy seeds of
changes were coincidentally and
Inadvertently sown with the bur
geoning of the region's first ore
diggings and its iron and steel
works; and even in the fallow
ground of Deep South raqj^l in
transigence those seedlings found
quiescent beds of fertility in the
unawakened consciences of men
who did not particularly hate but
who also did not particularly
care, and in the not yet alerted
common sense of a commercial-
industrial community that could
not at the turn of the century
foresee the need of a “good im
age" before the word of inves
tors.
The Seedling
But the second half of the twen
tieth century brought the first
quickening even to that frozen
ground. Revolutionary improve
ments In communications and
transportation; the unceas
ing boom of national defense de
mands; the competition for con
tracts and markets; the rising
level of education and purchas
ing power among the disposses
sed; the broadening through mil
itary life and the new mobile
society of the younger thousands-
These unpredictable new condi
tions came as sun and showers
to nurture and spread the isolat
ed spots of fertility. And the seed
lings grew.
The moral censure of a vastly
matured nation, reflected in the
decisions of the federal courts,
brought to life some of the sleep
ing consciences and the icy
douche of business realism fresh
ened the filmed eye of the cham
ber of commerce and the monied
industrial leaders who gradually
learned to see that few investors,
few tourists were going to drop a
wad in a cky of hate.
These murmurings of life and
change in the uncongenial ground
fought hardily against the stran
gle weeds of custom and moral
.nertia in an almost silent strug
gle beneath the top crust of sou
thern things-as-they-are.
Then came the weeders and
the gardeners. Martin Luther
King, the Southern Christian Lea
dership Conference, using the
tools fashioned by the courts, by
Christian doctrine and by the
too-heavy -to-be borne - any-
longer burden of downtrodden
Negroes, drastically mashed the
ugly crust with direct action to
mid-wive the upthrust of the
slender shoots of change.
The Crust
The crust which Is hard is also
brittle. The tiny plants of racial
progress and change, the tenta
tive steps of a plantation slug
gard peeping Into the twentieth
century, thrive in the light and
air despite the debris around
them, the broken crust of glow-
erings, forebodings, and go-slow,
go-never admonishments from
the “moderates.”
Young southern Christians lea
ding Birmingham’s Negroes at
the request of the Latter have
shown that the crust can be brok
en, that even in the hotbed of the
Confederacy, the peculiar tradi
tions that deny the dignity of
man are not sacrosanct and that
even in Birmingham a Negro can
sit at the same lunch counter
where a white man sits without
thunder bolting from the skies.
They have shown that Negroes
are not “satisfied” with their lot;
they have shown that Negroes
will stick together to boycott the
places that insult them while tak
ing their money. Mass meetings
packed every night for three
weeks have shown that the feel
ing is a rising tide that grows
larger as it moves. The turning
out of the Hanes - Connor - Wag
goner Neanderthals has shown
that the electorate is at last con
cerned about the city’s image in
the world.
The preservation of order with
a minimum of violence has
shown that the greatly cherished
threat of popular white uprisings
against changes in the racial
statuo-quo is a myth that one good
job of sincere policing can blow
away like a dandelion in a sum
mer breeze.

published any figures about their
membership but estimates have
ranged from as low as 25,000 to
as high as 250,000, with the num
ber often put as 70,000. None
of these estimates, however, is
based on verifiable data. There
are more than 18,000,000 Negroes
in the country.
Followers of Islam
“The Muslims assert that they
are faithful followers of Islam,
a claim that raises some doubts
among their opponents. The Mus
lims, note, however, that Elijah
Muhammed, head of the move
ment, has made a pilgrimage
to Mecca, a journey reserved for
Islam's ““faithful.
"The Black Muslims reject
Christianity as a white man's
religion Imposed on the Negroes
to insure their prolonged servi
tude and inferior status. Chris
tianity promises rewards in the
hereafter, and according to the
Black Muslims, this belief is de
signed to condition Nqgroes to
accept their inferior status on
this earth. But all the old - line
Negro leaders insist that the
Christian churches are the most
powerful force in the Negro com
munity, without which no gains
can be made."
Going back to the idea of Ne-
“Dr. Kenneth Clark, college
professor, was quoted by the
Times as saying: "The Negro
does not feel himself a part of
this white dominated country,
and there is no reason why he
should concern himself with this
country’s international relations.”
"There is a colossal indiffer
ence to the United States Gov
ernment’s foreign problems,” he
said. “If I were to talk to a
Negro crowd about foreign af
fairs people would say to me
‘man, what are you talking
about?’”

The Times quotes Louis
Martin, deputy chairman
of the Democratic National
Committee as noting:
“ ... the rising demands
of his face to improve its
lot and says Negro aspira
tions can be summed up in
one phrase:
‘White man, move

Says the Times article:
“Negro leaders differ in
their assessment of this
new mood, but they agree
that it is a powerful new
force in American public
life.
“It is threatening the old
order of Negro leaders, the
business and professional
class and ministers. It is
questioning the co-leader
ship of liberal whites in the
struggle against discrimin
ation.
“Moreover, it is helping
destroy the stereotypes of
the shiftless Negro as well
as the Uncle Toms.

“It is bringing new
heartaches as Negro par
ents find they no longer

brought to the surface

The Times quotes one Negro
leader as saying:
“There is a bit of hatred in
©very Negro’s heart. The Negro
would not be human if he did
not resent the oppression to
which he has been subjected.
But this feeling would be stifled
if the Negro were to receive
the equal status he is entitled
to as a citizen of this country.”

What Makes
A Good
Politician?
What does it take to make a
good politician?
In the words of Senator Jacob
Javits, the state’s most success
ful vote getter in a decade, the
success of a good politician is
that he is "one who never for
gets a friend, a favor, or an act
of conscience, even if it takes
40 years."
Speaking at a testimonial din
ner last week for Gilbert Robfn-
son, an unsuccessful candidate
for Congressman the" Republican
ticket last year, Javits alluded
to Harlem Republican leader
Harold C. Burton as this type of
good politician.
In All Years
"He is the kind of leader who
makes the bulwark of our party,”
Javits said.
"Harold Burton has maintained
a headquarters and kept interest
in the party through thick and
thin, In lean and fat years.
"He has lived with the party
in good or bad seasons and car
ried the campaign even when the
odds were heavy against him.
With him it has been a way of
llfe,.ahd this is the essence of
politics, a devotion to public serv
ice,” Javits said.
Powell Says
He's Only
Free Leader
Congressman Adam Clayton
Powell asserted this week that
he is the only Negro leader en
tirely free of white control be
cause he is not dependent on
whites for financial support.
"All my strength, all my mon
ey comes frim Negroes," Powell
declared, "and therefore I can
not be controlled by whites.”’
Powell’s remarks were quoted
in an article, “T h e Audacious
World of Adam Powell,” in the
current issue of Look Magazine.
The controversial Congressman
stated that there Is not other Neg
ro leader or organization that
does not get "substantial money."
from whites and added: “I don’t
need it,”
"An Irritant”
Powell described himself, ac
cording to the article, as "an
irritant” who "rubs and rubs
until something gives.”
Recently critical of the NAACP
for letting whites hold positions
of leadership in the organiza
tion, Powell was asked to com
ment on reports that many of his
ancestors were white.
"If I have all white blood, and
I’m doing what 1 am for the
'Negro,” he told Look, "then I

Could Gordon’s
possibly
be older than
London Bobby?
Surprisingly enough, yes. It was in 1829 that
Sir Robert Peel reorganized the London
Metropolitan Police,who promptly became
known as "Peelers" or
"Bobbies". But this was
sixty years after Alexander
Gordon had introduced
his remarkable gin to Lon
don and given it bis name.
Happily, the Gordon’s
you drink today is based
on that original 1769
formula. That explains
its unique dryness and
delicate flavour. Explains,
too, why Gordon’s is the

top Peace Corps aide., to a key
post with the Democratic State
Committee because of local and
upstate racial protests?
This was the question being
asked in political circles this
week as rumors began flying
that a white upstate Democratic-
leader would soon be named to
the $20,000-«-year post of Deputy
Director and Executive Secre
tary of the soon-to-be-formed De
ocratlc State Advisory Commit
tee.
Four weeks ago the Amster
dam News learned from highly
authorative sources that Williams
with top Democratic national
backing, had flown to New York
and was interviewed in McKeon's
offices at the State Committee.
McKeon was highly impressed
and the two shook hands and Wil
liams agreed to leave the Peace
Corps and take what would have
been an historic post for a
Negro.
Backed Him
Manhattan Borough President
Edward R. Dudley. J. Raymond
Jones, and other key Democrats
had supported Williams.
Since then, however, McKeon
has reportedly been subjected to
bitter pressures from many pol
itical areas, including some up
state Democrats, and some news
papers. Representative Adam
Clayton Powell and some Negro
legislators also opposed Williams
Tuesday during all-day elimina
tions at the Waldrof-Astoria.
Five Negro girD are among the
semi-finalists from which six
finalists will be chosen for the
coveted crown.

to a new $20,000-a-ycar post

ing him on a tour of Africa.
Up in Air
McKeon, who has been out of
town, had no comment on the
whole situation, but a spokes
man told the Amsterdam News
that the whole situation is “up
in the air and there is nothing
definite on Williams or the Job."
Meanwhile, McKeon this week
named a group of leading Demo
cratic officials to a screening
committee which wiU select the
members of the advisory comm

By MALCOLM NASH
Is the Protestant Council of
New York unwilling to air charg
es of alleged racial discrimina
tion in the filling of Protestant
chaplaacy vacancies in city
hospitals and institutions?
The Rev. Dr. Dan M. Potter,
executive director of the coun
cil, against which the charge of
bias was made by the Interde
nominational Ministers Meeting
of Greater New York and Vicin
ity, could not be reached for
comment.
His secretary said Monday
that he was "out of town’’ and
would be "out” again Tuesday.
But he apparently has made no
move to tell Deputy Mayor Ed
ward F. Cavanagh Jr. when —
and where — he will meet with
Cavanagh and Negro officials of
the Interdenominational Minis
ters Meeting to discuss the lat
ter’s charges of bias.
To Set Date
This was suggested in a letter
Cavanagh sent to the Interde
nominational Ministers Meeting
last April 10 in which Cavanagh
indicated that he had asked Dr
Potter to set a date to meet with
him and the Interdenominational
Ministers to look into the charg
es.

Witnesses Map Plans
For July Convention
"We are much better equipped
to handle the responsibility as
co-hosts for the forthcoming con
vention of Jehovah’s Witnesses,"
Herbert Powers, presiding min
ister of the Bradburst Congre
gation of Jehovah’s Witnesses,
32 St. Nicholas Ave., stated last
Sunday night.
He was referring to the results
of an advance meeting held in
Yankee Stadium last Saturday
with an attendance of 8,972 from
the metropolitan New York and
New Jersey area. Approximately
100 attended from the Bradhurst
Congregation.
According to Mr. Powers, the
purpose of the meeting was to
outline requirements necessary to
care for the many visitors.
“Foremost is the need for ad

Powers said. He further stated,
“there will be 65 from the Brad

Queens Vacancy
The charge grew out of the ap
pointment by the Protestant
Committee on City Chaplaincies
of a white minister to the chap
laincy vacancy at City Hospital,
Queens. The committee had act
ed on the recommendation of the
Queens Federation of Churches,
a division of the Protestant Coun
cil.
The chaplaincy vacancy at the
Queens hospital had been creat
ed by the death of the Rev. Jos
eph C. Hill, last Jan. 23, a Negro
minister who previously was ap
pointed by the Interdenomina
tional Ministers Meeting
The Interdenominational Min
ister* Meeting had created the
extra Protestant chaplaincy vac
ancy (before Rev. Hill's death),
with the help of Mayor Wagner,
to broaden the Protestant racial
representation at the hospital. _
The Negro ministers contend
that the Protestant Council had
never appointed a Negro clergy
man to any chaplaincy vacan
cies.

Mayor Wagner's Efforts
Reduce School Dropouts
High school droputs in New declared. "While these figures In-
dicate progress, the dropout pro
blem is still critical and we have
a long way to go.”
York City have declined more
than two per cent per year —
or twice the national average —
since Mayor Robert F. Wagner
launched the City’s Stay-In-School
educational program in the fall
of i960.
„
This was revea’ed by Dr. Theo
dore H. Lang, chairman of the
City’s Inter-Agency Stay-In-School
Committee' in the Committee's
newsletter distributed today to
civic, business, fraternal, educa
tional. religious and other lead
ers.
Encouraged
"We are encouraged by this
significant decline in New York
City’s school dropout rate due to
the work of the Board of Educa
tion, the N.Y.C. Youth Board, the
Mayor’s Task Force on Youth an
Work, the N.Y.C. Stay-in-School
Committee, as well as other agen
cies and civic groups,” Dr. Lang
These City dropout statistics
are based on figures from New
York City’s Board of Education
and the U. S. Department of Lab
or's Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The U .S. decline in dropouts
have averaged only one per cent
in the last 10 years.
Third Time
The Stay-In-School newsletter
was released as Mayor Wagner
announced he was launching the
City’s third annual all-out com
munity educational campaign to
encourage students to stay in
school and graduate.
In asking his Inter-Agency
Stny-In-Scbool committee to move
ahead on its 1963 action program
to combat the city's — and the
nation’s — dropout problem, May
or Wagner declared:
"Let us not be satisfied to lead
the nation at the start of 1963.
Let us rather be determined to
’ -i"i t :e nrtlon at the end of 1963.
and every year thereafter until
this problem has been eliminat
ed."
Cartoonists To
Aid Campaign
Some of the nation's most pop
”’ar cartoon characters may join
Smokey the Bear in urging hu-
-i--
to be good citizens:

The National Cartoonists So
ciety has volunteered its ser
vice* to The Advertising Couu
cU and the public service «r-
ganiration has accepted this
group of highly specialized tal
ents as a Cooperating Oragniza
tton.
Whether such eye-catchers az
"WHAMMO” and "POW!" will
ever jump out from the adver
tisements remains to be seen,
but the cartoonists stand ready
to contribute art and copy to
any of the programs conducted
by the Council.

NAACP Sues
L.I. School
Superintendent
A case which may prove cruc
ial to the NAACP’s entire legal
effort to combat school segrega
tion outside of the South has
been filed against the Manhasset.
L.I. School Board and Dr. Ray
mond CoUins, Superintendent of
Schools.
The suit charges them with
operating and maintaining racial
ly segregated schools. The NAACP
will ask the court to require the
School Board to eliminate the
existing racial unbalance in the
schools, no matter what the
cause.
Manhasset is a small upper
middle-class community on Long
Island. There are three elemen
tary schools, two of which have
no Negro children and have ap
proximately 500 students each.
The third has 175 students, 93
per cent Negro. There is one
junior high school and one senior
high school.
Different
The issue in this caae differs
from New Rochelle where the
charge was gerrymandered school
districts. The school zones in
Manhasset have not been changed
in the past ten years, but school
authorities have done nothing to
eradicate growing segregation in
fact, but have aided in the con
tainment of Negro school chil
dren.

Attorneys for the NAACP will
be General Counsel Robert L.

"Ip South"
Sometimes the best way to really study a man
is to take a good look at him when he does not know
you are looking.
That’s what happened to GOP Congressman
Steven B. Derounian and the voters who elected him
in Nassau County last week.
Congressman Derounian, who could be defeated
by the minority group vote in Nassau, took himself
a junket down to Columbia, South Carolina last week
and according to all reports, he out did the Dixiecrats
when it came to denouncing “northern agitators’’
who go south and “stir up” the status quo in race
relations.
The Nassau County Congressman was quoted as
wooing Dixiecrat votes for the Republican party by
saying that “agitators from the North ought to be
kept out of the South.”
Well, it just goes to show you what some people
will do when they get behind closed doors—or travel
500 miles from home, where they feel the folks back
home aren’t looking.
We’d just like to remind Congressman Derounian
that many of the very people whom he referred to
as “northern agitators who should be kept out of the
South” are the sons and daughters of the people who
helped to send him South to Congress from Nassau
County.
It would probably serve Mr. Derounian right if
the voters of Nassau County took him seriously
literally and voted to keep all Northern agitators out
of the South—including South Carolina AND Wash
ington. D.C.—which happens to be very much South
of Nassau Counted.
Fantasia
Last week this newspaper reported the deaths of
two men who died while in the custody of the Police
Department.
One of these deaths, according to police, is still
under investigation and we have been promised a
report of the findings of that investigation.
The other death which occurred in a jail cell in
the West 123rd Street stationhouse, has been labeled
a “suicide” by the police.
According to police the prisoner in question,
simply hanged himself on the door of his cell, using a
silk handkerchief as his death weapon. Police say
they took the handkerchief from the man when he
was put in his cell but he stole the handkerchief back
and hanged himself when no one was looking.
Frankly speaking both cases smell to high
Heaven.
We asked the top police brass in the Harlem
command the following questions:
Does the Police Department consider this good
police work and is the Police Department satisfied
with this performance’
The answer the Police Department gave us
amounted to this: Yes the Department considers this
good police work, but it won’t happen again—that is
to say no more prisoners will be allowed to steal
back silk handkerchiefs from the police and hang
themselves with such handkerchiefs, right under
the Police Department’s nose.
All we can say to that is that this is exactly the
kind of half baked fantastic reports to the public
which led to the unpleasant relations between the
police and citizens of Negro areas a few summers
ago.
Let’s face it—when a man dies in a police station
house after bein& under arrest the police department
itself becomes suspect, and the public; is entitled to
an explanation.
And when that explanation sounds like a fairy
tale for children, the image and effectiveness of the
Department and its top officers is diminished in the
eyes of the people tHfey serve.
We await with interest the report of the investi
gation into the death of the second man.
And we still haven’t gotten over the shock of
being told that nobody, including the police, saw a
man run down and killed by an auto in the middle of
125th Street and Eighth Ave., at High Noon one
sunny day last year.
But it happened!
Nassau Leads The Way
Nassau County Executive Eugene Nickerson
spearheaded a drive to establish a Commission for
Human Rights in his area several months ago. A
committee appointed by him recommended that this
was absolutely necessary. For one thing Nassau Coun
ty, now with a population of 1,400,000 of which three
per cent is Negro, is filling up fast. So fast that all
the problems — racial and otherwise — which pre
vail in this kind of development were starting to show
themselves .
The board of supervisors of the County passed
the law even before the Metcalf bill which gave this
right to cities, towns and counties, was passed by
the New York Legislature. This is what we call lead
ing the way.
♦—
Worth It?
(An Editorial)
We don’t make a habit of fighting court decis
ions.
There are enough people doing that south of th§
border, down in you-know-where.
But we do reserve the right to make fair com
ment on decisions of our courts and we have a few
things to say this week about some recent decisions
involving landlords and tenants.
At the present time New York City’s Commis
sioner of Buildings, Harold Birns, is standing with
his hand out at City Hall asking for more money
with which to hire men to serve summons on 4,000
slumlords in New York who continue to violate the
Housing and Building laws .by forcing their tenants
to live under Middle Age conditions. He charges the
landlords ignore the summons if they are sent by
mail.
To listeh to Mr. Birns as he pleads for more
money, one is led to believe that the entire landlord-
tenant situation could be solved if he could just get
the landlords into the courts.
But just when one is inclined to go along with
Mr. Birns and back his request for more money,
along comes Jeno Weiss, a slum landlord and two
•judges, Judge Frederick L. Strong and Judge Reuben
Levy of Criminal Court.
Last Monday Mr. Weiss appeared before Judge
Levy and pleaded guilty on 21 counts of violations
involving properties which he owns. Despite the fact
that a City Health Department official asked Judge
Levy to impose a maximum 90 day jail sentence on
this man and maximum fines that would have totaled
$4,200, Judge Levy only fined—Mr^ Weiss $800 and
gave him a 90 day suspended sentence,-------x
One day later the Health Department official
appeared in Judge Strong’s court and again asked
that .the maximum sentence be lodged against Mr.
Weiss, w ho was before Judge Strong, with more viola
tions on his property. The Health official pointed
out that Judge Strong had previously fined Weiss $175
in three cases last February 8 and given him a 15
day suspended sentence and that Mr. Weiss currently
had a record of 54 convictions.
But despite this testimony Judge Strong only
fined Mr. Weiss $100!
All of this leads us to take a second look at Mr.
Birns’ plea for more money for process servers.
Undoubtedly both of these distinguished jurists
had good reasons for ruling as they did in this case.
But when a landlord with that kind of record is
summoned to court and w’alks out with such rela
tively light fines, there is a question as to whether
the poor harassed tenant-taxpayer considers it worth
while to spend more money on having them
summoned into court.

People In Action
The Complete Life
By DR. MARTIN EITHER KING. JR.
Reverend Martin Luther King
has been in jail for the last 12
days, during which time he was
to have submitted his regular col
umn to the Amsterdam News.
Dr. King, however, was not
able to write his column from in
side the jail.
The Amsterdam News, there
fore, publishes this week excerpts
of a sermon by Dr. King which
he preached recently at Riverside
Church on “The Dimensions of a
Complete Life” and which seems
appropriate for these times.
“To a great extent many of the
problems we face in race rela
tions today grow out of the fact
that there are still all too many
of our white brothers concerned
only about the length of life —
their preferred economic posi
tions, their social status, their po
litical dynasties, their so-called
way of life. If they would only
add breadth to length—the other
regarding dimension to the self-
regarding dimension—the jangling
discords of our nation would be
transformed into a beautiful sym
phony of brotherhood.
“One day every white person in
America will have to realize that
his destiny is tied up in the des
tiny of every black man and every
black man will have to realize
that his destiny is tied up within
the destiny of every white man.
Temptations
“This is why I say that those of
us who have been on the oppress
ed end of the old order must be
as much concerned about the di
mension of breadth as anybody
else. There are temptations that
come to us. Temptations to want
to rise from a position of dis
advantage, thus subverting jus
tice.
“Temptation to substitute one
tyranny for another.
“Something must remind us of
the dimension of breadth. Some
thing must remind us that black
supremacy is as dangerous as
white supremacy.
“And God is not interested
merely in the freedom of black
men and brown men and yellow
men, but God is interested in the
freedom of the whole human race
and the ci ?ation of a society
where all men can live together
as brothers and every man will
respect the dignity and worth of
human personality.
Non-Violence
“This is why I believe so firm
ly in non-violence. This is why I
believe so firmly that the ethic
of love must stand at the center
of any movement that is seeking
to break loose from some unjust
order and move to a just order.
“This is why our message and
our struggle in the South is a
message of non-violence.
“And so we have been able to
say, in very difficult moments, to
our most violent opponents, ‘We
will match your capacity to en
dure suffering. We will meet your
physical force with soul force. Do
to us what you will and we will
still love you.’
“ ‘We cannot in all good con
science obey your unjust laws be
cause non-cooperation with evil is
as much a moral obligation as is
cooperation with good.’
“ ‘And so throw us in jail and
we will still love you. Bomb our
homes and threaten our children
and we will still love you. Send
your propaganda agents across
the country and make it appear
that we are not fit morally, cul
turally or otherwise for integra
tion and we will still love you,’
“ ‘Send your hooded perpetra
tors of violence into our communi
ties at midnight hours and drag
us out on some wayside road and
beat us and leave us half dead
and, as difficult as it is, we wiU
still love you. Be ye assured that
we will win our freedom.’
“ ‘We will not only win freedom
for ourselves, but we will so ap
peal to your heart and conscience
that we will win you in the pro
cess and our victory will be a
double victory.’
“This is our message and I be
lieve this is the only way to estab
lish the beloved community. For
we must incorporate breadth in
our struggle in order to achieve
a moral balance within society
and the brotherhood we seek.”

Who's Your Barber?
Sir: I would like this as an
open letter to the barbers of the
city. With your help and support
I think that the barbers will get
together and stop their undercut
rates for the skillful profession
and raise the prices to a stand

As of now the service in the
barber shops of New York City
are lower than any other major
city in the United States. Hair
cuts and s(have rates to New
York City range as follows: Hair
Cut—$.50, .60, .75 to $1.00, shaves
—$ 40 to .75, these prices are
ridiculous. The cost of living has
tripled to what it was a few
years ago. Equipments and sup
plies are doubled and now a new
tax has gone into effect, includ
ing occupancy tax.

The SCHR has all the legal right to start such an
investigation if they can get a plaintiff and a plaintiff

their share of blame but it is apparent that the net

proving the Negro image. Even those who at first
thought they were putting on an act have realized now
that they actually mean business now. So where is the
bottleneck?
Invited Back
And Instead of Terri blowing
her big chance, she had made
it but big. When a member of
Carson's company entered her
dressing room, be didn’t come to
tell her she had wasted an op
portunity. He came, instead, to
tell her that she was Invited

.TlZlTtSi
Let’s face it. Although the picture has changed
and improved from what it was say three years ago,
there is still an evidence of certain elements dragging
their feet. The bottleneck without doubt has been re-
moved from the casting set-up, from the executives —on sla«e
of the networks, from the directors and writers, even
from many of the producers and the production houses.
Therefore it has to be in the advertising agencies.
Kept Mum
It is interesting that in all the investigation that
has gone on, the advertising companies have remained
significantly quiet. While other groups have come
up with honest desire to try and work for a common
good, the advertising chieftains have remained mum
in their little ivory towers on Madison avenue, hoping
against hope that the bad dream will disappear and
they can then return to the status quo Well we don’t
think the SCHR should let them remain in their soft
havens. If anything let’s make that bad dream a real
ity and clear up once and for all the bottleneck that
is keeping Negroes off the airwaves.
She Sings From “A ToZ”
And Her Name Is Azie
By JESSE H. WALKER
Azie Mortimer, a young Bronx-1
born singer whose biography des- j
cribes her style as being from'
"A to Z”, isn't crying a bit over
her current Epic label, although
the title is "Cry Me A River”.
She isn't crying because the
record, only out two weeks, seem
to be moving; the disc jockeys
are playing it and if it turns out j
to be a hit, Azie won't be sad at'
all.
The arranger and conductor for i
the record is Reggie Obrecht who'
heard Azie when she was first,
singing around town and began
coaching her. Her biography’says
she once used "to perch like a
kitten on the window sill” of
her Bronx home, tlx flights up,
and sing as loud as she could.
Usually a cop would rush up to
the apartment and pull the young
iter back Into safety.

Good Bye To A Friend
The death of Carl Tomlinson, famed host and pro
prietor of Carl’s Corner, came as a shock, despite the
fact that he had been ailing for sometime. Carl was
a good man, a good friend, stern in business but fair.
He was also, a humorous, charming person who had
such tact, such patience and was a very simple and
n^Ljji^l person at all times.
His splendid, spotless cafe was the scene of happy
patrons who seemed determined to make it a monu
ment to a great host. Who can replace Carl is a big
question. I shall personnally miss him, because he
had been a good friend of mine for years. Night life
has suffered a great loss and many of us have lost a
kind thoughtful friend. Goodbye to one of the nicest
guys you could possibly meet.
Flash Inn
The Flash Inn, 154th St. and Seventh Ave., fea
tures many specialities on their menu. This has been
the story of the Merenda Brothers, Joe and Tony,
since they opened several years ago, and their patrons
seem to agree. Many new food dishes have been added
since they opened, with old favorites still on the menu,
but if you haven’t visited there lately, some wonder
ful treats from around the world await you. They sell
more steaks than any other item on the menu. But, for
that added flare they offer some wines rarely seen
around town. And, if you are in the mood for the side
walks of Paris, their sidewalk cafe is the answer. The
brothers’ answer to all of this is: “We always try to
run a fine restaurant and bar that should please every
guest who enjoys gracious dining and wining.”
Total contributions to the Camp Fund to date is
$2,671.03.

was marked more times by those
12 through 24 as well as those
who did not denote their age. For
those over 25, including 25 to 29,
30 to 34, and over-34 categories,
the word gaining first place at
tention was "hopeful.”
Getting dates, getting along
with the family and keeping
friends ranked low among the
teenage group’s worries. Having
enough money, the survey shows,
begins to pinch at 18 to 24 years
of age, but is high enough to
show that it plagues all groups
Educational Opportunities
What encourages them most
about life today?
In the overall picture, the order
of encouraging factors was “ed
ucational opportunities,” check
ed by 5,341; “friends,” noted by
5,302, and “religious faith” by
5,208.
For married women with chil

questions:
1. “What does it feel like to
you to be a girl or woman in
today’s world?”
2. “What worries you most
about life today?”
3. "What encourages you most

Age Makes Difference
Reviewing the overall tabula
tions there are sharp differences
occur as one looks, for example,
at the 15 and 16-vear-old com
pared with the 25 to 35-year-old.
The survey, in providing an

and women most about life today,
shows that, whereas friends (not
family) provide the greatest
source of encouragement for the
women most?
Put of the total participation,
the -worries were: first, “uncer

marked by 5,428; “having enough
money,” second with 3,214 so in

war,” third with 3,153. The last

the first three “worries” of the
12 to 14-year-olds and then was
in second place to “getting an
education” and just ahead of
“uncertainty of the future.”
In other age groupings, the nu

Poll Contestants
The Ajiisterdafn News decided
to ask the "Miss Beaux Arts”
contestants these questions and
the answers are interesting. The
contest sponsored by the F.
M. Schaefer Brewing Company
in cooperation with the National
Urban League Guild got under
way this week.
Miss Leu Camacho, "Miss
Beaux Arts” contestant, stated
in discussing the questions:
Ma"I fed great! It’s a tremendous
experience to be living today be
cause of the changes of this at
omic age and the history being
made in Africa and among Am
erican Negroes.
Likes Baldwin
“The thing that encourages me
most is the stand that Negroes
are taking in America today and
writers like James Baldwin who
express our feelings so well.”
Miss Helen Credle, "Miss
Beaux Arts” contestant said: “It
gives me a feeling of honor, priv-
ledged and a certain amount of
courage
Proper Conformity
"The challenge and struggle of
achieving success and individual
expression while maintaining the
proper degree of conformity wor
ries me most.
Miss Donna Dale, “Miss Beaux
Arts” contestant gave her view
as: “It is a great responsibility
and a great challenge: but it is
one that should be easily and
readily accepted.
"World peace Is one of the
biggest problems and my greatest
worry.
"Confidence in my self, as well
as other people is of great en
couragement.”
Miss Marva Revis, “Miss
Beaux Arts” contestant gave her
comments as: *— -■ ———
“Wonderful, because I have the
opportunity to meet people In all
walks of life with whom I enjoy
conversing, as I am a human
itarian.
"Dissension among nations
worries me most.
Miss Ollie Willins, "Miss Beaux
Arts” contestant, said: “It is
great feeling to know that the
future of the race depends on
me.
“The great willingness of black
people to forfeit everything they
possess for future generations to
come.”
Miss Judy Young "Miss Beaux
Arts” contestant gave her suc
cinct views as: “Challenging and
I love it; I am almost ashamed
to say nothing worries me, but
if I think about it, the possibility
of a nuclear war does and people,
being in love and being young
encourage me most.”
Miss Yvonne Swann, "Miss
Beaux Arts” contestant gave her
views as: "The place and pos
sibilities of my people and my
own economic needs worry me
most and the opportunities for
women today for independence
and for a voice in the future of
my country encourage me most
Likes f'hahglng World
Miss LaVerne Mossman, “Miss
Beaux Arts” contestant, said: “I
am very glad that I live in todays
changing world. The threat of
war and nuclear annihilation per
haps worries me most and the
awakening of the Negro people;
the demand for their constitution
al rights and rights as human
brings are very encouraging in
deed

24 • N. Y. AMSTERDAM NEWS, Sat., April 27, 1963
Planning Chief
Answers Critics
Francis J. Blousteln, acting
chairman of the City Planning
Ccnunisslon has sent the follow
ing letter to the Amsterdam
News clarifying the position of
the City Planning Department
in the new housing program for
the Bedford-Stuyvesant section.
His clarification comes as a
result of the sharp critical views
expressed by Civic spokesmen
in a story carried in the April
6 Issue of the Amsterdam News.
Reactions
Excerpts of the letter follows:
“Giving coverage to all re
actions to the proposal, the
News published excerpts of a
letter WTltteo by Leroy McLean,
the president of the Brower
Park Civic Association.
‘In part, Mr. McLean stated:
It is time the City Planning
Commission. . .let it be known
that the National Housing Act
provides for urban renewal by
means other than the massive
bulldozing methods that were
supposed to be discontinued in
the city. . -The City Planning
Commission has never let it be
known that millions of dollars
are available to small property
owners at low Interest rates to
improve their homes.
“This is a somewhat puzzling
charge. As early as 1956. in
developing recommendations for
the revitalization of the J)0-block
West Side Urban Renewal Area
in Manhattan, the Commission
stressed the importance of re
taining sound residential struc
tures. The Commission’s early
recommendations have been In
corporated in the final plan for
the area, approved last year,
In which nearly 45 per cent of
the 14,650 apartments Involved
are scheduled for conservation
or rehabilitation treatment.
Dominant
“Rehabilitation assumed a
dominant role in the 1962-63 re
newal program. Of the 10 new
areas selected, six were ex
plicitly chosen because they of
fered a significant poten
tial for neighborhood improve
ment through a coordinated pro
gram based on low-cost home
improvement loans.
Mr. McLean's Brower Park
Civic Association was well rep
resented in these interchanges.
Last November Mr. McLean,
himself, helped to assemble a
gathering of local citizenry to
receive information on various
aspects of the rehabilitation
study effort. In point of fact,
Mr. McLean has been cooper
ating in the development of a
program he implies doesn’t ex
ist, and about which he states
the public has not been in
formed.”
Low Rent Project
Will Go Up In Queens
io Cariello hastened, Friday, to
the aide of the poor and estab
lished their right to enjoy the
bounties of nature.
Queens Borough President Mar- ority suggested that a large pro-
ject be erected at 41st St., and
the community groups agreed.
Thus the suggestion that the
low income project be moved
away from the balmy view of
the Bay was both a source of
fear and doubt. But on Friday,
Mr. Cariello assured all parties
at the 299 Broadway meeting,
that the project would be built
on the proposed site.
Mr. Cariello told a hastily called
meeting at the office of New
York City Housing Authority chair
man, William Reid, that he fav
ored construction of an 800-apart-
ment low income project at the
edge of Jamaica Bay, on Rock
away Peninsula.
The day before, two members
of the Borough President’s of
fice had stated at an open air
meeting on 39th St. and Beach
Channel Drive, that the low in
come projects should be moved
back from the Bay to make place
far a privately sponsored middle-
income housing project.
Near the Bay
The site near the Bay, at 41st
St. and Beach Channel Drive,
had been agreed upon by the
Far Rockaway NAACP, the Rock
away Council on Relocation and
Conservation as well as all-white
groups that previously opposed
Rockaway low-income projects
And in a message to the Am
sterdam News he asserted: “I
am whole-heartedly in favor of
it and I am sure it will be built,’’
as planned. He added that steps
were being taken to provide a
balance through the construction
of middle income housing
However, “this will in no way
delay the low income housing
project which I am anxious to
see progressed,” the Queens Bar
ough President stated.

BERKELEY, Calif. — The days
of discrimination in the fratern
ities and sororities of the Uaiver
sity of California have been num
bered by Clark Kerr, university
president.
Kerr last week issued an order
calling for the end of segrega
tion by Sept. 1, 1964. The order
has been left up the the chance
llors and deans for enforcement.
Many fraternity and sorority
chapters are affiliated with nat
ional organizations that have
charter clauses prohibiting min
ority groups. Kerr said these
chapters will not be permitted
to refuse students because of
national origin, race or religion
.after the deadline date. The
'seven-campus university has 56.-
'000 students.

Cariello Opposes
Plan For Atomic Plant
Coney Is. Project
Needs Builders
At a meeting of representatives
of the Astoria-Long Island City
Community Council in his office.
Queens President Mario J. Car
iello voiced his “strong op
position” to the application of
Consolidated Edison, pending be
fore the U. S. Atomic Energy
Commission, to construct a mil
lion kilowatt nuclear power plant
adjacent to its Ravenswood sta
tion in Long Island City.
At the Mme time Cariello dis
patched a copy of his statement
to the U. S. Atomic Energy Com
mission in Washington, D. C. and
Con Edison in Manhattan.
Remote Areas
“My strong opposition in the
first instance to this application
by Con Edison,” the Queens
President said, "is based on a
conviction that this type of nu
clear facility should not be con
structed in a densely populated
Metropolitan area. This I believe
is consonant with AEC policy
that such projects should be con
structed in more remote areas
away from Metropolitan centers.”
Cariello’s objections were also
based on passible air and water
fallout contamination from the
proposed plant in Long Island
City, which he said in the daytime
has five and a half million people
within a radius of five miles. He
expressed fear of possible sabo
tage inside the plant.
Protective
“Even with the contemplated
protective measures proposed for
the outside of the plant,” Cariello
said, “it is not yet established
that sabotage from the inside is
impossible.”
Teeners Dance
The Stuyvesant Community
Center will hold a teeners dance
from 3 to 8 pm., Saturday, May
11 in the Center’s recreation
room, 164 Troy Ave.
The event is being sponsored
by the Day Camp group to raise
funds to provide a summer day
care camp for children between
ages 6 and 12.
An entertaining movie will be
shown before the dance, and re
freshments will be served.
Students For Spring
Brooklyn Central YMCA is reg
istering students for the spring
adult classes in popular dancing,
painting, and sketching, contract
bridge in addition to conversa
tional French and Spanish.
Classes begin May 6, at 55 Han
son Place, Brooklyn.
The Astoria-Long Island City
Community Council, which com
prises some 60 church and school
groups, veteran and fraternal or
ganizations, civic, social and wel
fare agencies, was represented by
Simon Tropp, Martin R. Fried
man, Irving Katz, Robert Kelly,
James Bitees and Arthur Hen-
driksen, the latter also the Dem
ocratic leader of the 1st Assembi
District.
Hope For
Addicts
Drug addicts who really want
to overcame the habit without
Incurring the etlgma of a prison
sentence will soon get the kind
of help they need under a spe-
ialized program based on new
techniques and methods.
A grant in the amount of $390,-
000 to carry out the addiction
treatment project has been awar
ded to the Probation Depart
ment of the Kings County Su
preme Court by the National In
stitute of Mental Health.
Drug
Justice George J. Beldock of
the Appellate Division, Second
Judicial Department, eaid the
funds will be used for the es
tablishment and operation of a
“halfway house’’ for the treat
ment of drug addicts on proba
tion.
Just where the halfway house
will be located is not yet deter
mined, but according to plans
it will have a capacity for some
25 cases at one time.
Probation
Joseph A. Shelly, chief pro
bation officer of the Brooklyn
Supreme Court, stated that this
will be the first lialfway house
for probationers in the U.S.
“It is hoped the project will
demonstrate the feasibility of
successfully treating drug addicts
without recourse to imprison
ment,” Shelly added.
Most of the new techniques
and methods to be applied under
the program have been develop
ed from mistakes of the past,
Shelly indicated.
Last year, he conducted a na
tionwide survey of various nar
cotics facilities and programs un
der a grant provided by the Na
tional Institute of Mental Health.
A team of expert consultants
worked with him on that survey.
Project
The project, which is expect
ed to save the community be
tween $2,000 and $3,000 a year
for each addict treated, will have
several elements of Alchriic6 An-
noymous, except that treatment
will be continuous, and greater
discipline will be applied.
Probationers will not be per
mitted to leave the house until
it is believed they have shored
up enough will power to resist
taking drugs, the announcement
revealed. This will take up to aj
year.
Builders applications were be
ing solicited this week by the
Housing and Redevelopment
Board for the construction of a
1,150-family middle income pro
ject in the Coney Island West
area of Brooklyn.
Milton Mollen, HBR chairman,
said Inquiries would be received
from builders until April 30 for
the Title I urban renewal develop
ment.
Housing
In other housing activities, the
proposed Cadman Plaza develop-
Laundry Toes
A Brooklyn laundry this week
agreed to make some adjust
ments in its plant to avoid any
further complaints that It had
been acting to the detriment and
health o£ residents of the area.
The action was taken by the
New York City License Depart
ment against the Sparco Steam
Laundry, 1801-11 Ave. Z, follow
ing a complaint received from
Mrs. Dora A. Wollman, a house
wife, who lives at 2547 E. 18th
St., Brooklyn.
Facilities
An investigation conducted by
Commissioner Bernard J. O’Con
nell on the basis of Mrs. Woll-
man’s complaint disclosed that
Sparco maintained and operated
five separate unlicensed laundry
facilities.
The company has agreed to take
care of these irregularities. They
included improper lint filters,
broken window panes, unscreen
ed windows, hand-carts and other
equipment on the sidewalk, and
a barrier or dike for slops flow
ing from the premises.
Mrs. Wollman had complained
about the annoyance created by
noises, soot and pdors among
other things.
ment approved by the City Plan
ning Commission last month for
an additional 173-apartment pro
ject on the northeast corner of
Poplar St., met with opposition
this week from the Brooklyn
Heights Association.
The Association denounced the
plan, contending that the aite la
needed for community recrea
tional facilities. The group alto
pointed out that additional hous
ing units would cram too many
people Into an area already over
crowded by at least 200 families.
Support
Support of the city plan, how-
♦ver, has been voiced by Rev.
Donald W. McKinney. He made
a significant observation regard
ing the tendency of using urban
renewal projects to isolate dif
ferent income groups and
"create virtual ghettos of lower-
income areas.”
He expressed the view that
Cadman Plaza would mark an
“important step toward responsi
ble community planning."

chairman Francis J. Bloustein,
decisions on the matter will be
made by the New York City Hou
sing Authority.
Scheduled
The 562 - unit low income hous
ing was scheduled to rise in the
area bounded by Sumner Ave.,
Quincy St., Lewis Ave. and Mon
roe St. The middle income, with
600 apartments, was to be built
on the site enclosed by Reid Ave.
Monroe St., Stuyvesant and Quin
cy St.
St. Clair T. Bourne spoke for
the Local School Board, 32-34,
stating that it was “pointless to
build more and more housing, if
the additional children that inev
itably come with such housing
are not assured of necessary
and adequate school facilities.”
He reiterated a point which he
said the board had made on an
other occasion. This was that
housing development plans
should include new schools.
Views
The views of the opponents
were typified in the submission
made by Mrs. Ruth Shannon, of*
223 A Monroe St., in behalf of the
Monroe Nostrand Vicinity Prop
erty Owners Association. She ob

"Bedford - Stuyvesant is re
sided in predominantly by Neg
roes. It has been a struggle for
the people who were able to ac-l
cumulate small savings over a
period of years. They invested)
their life - time savings in the
homes they now own.”
“The same people,” Mrs. Shan
non said, “have deprived them
selves of so many of the neces
sary things vital to healthful liv
ing, because of their inability to
obtain loans to make necessary
repairs oh their homes."
Leroy McLean, president of the
Brower Park Civic Association,
argued tfiht the people living in
the area under consideration had
not been sufficiently apprised
of the City's plans, and should
have been.
Involve
Present plans, he said, involve
the destruction of hundreds of
perfectly sound homes and the
Association opposed this ap- J
proach. Also present policy was
a threat to the small homeown
er.
"After an area is declared a
slum, the City of New York, with
Federal funds, offers plenty of
assistance to big real estate op
erators, speculators and spons
ors. We urge the City to try a
grass roots approach to the solu
tion of slums Assist the small
homeowner to improve his prop
erty," McLean pleaded.
Residents
A good proportion of residents
in the area were Welfare clients
not accepted in City Housing
projects. Thus when bouses come
down they will move to Increase
congestion elsewhere.
Mrs. Elsie Richardson, the As
sociation secretary, called for
“a new concept of vest pocket
housing" in Bedford - Stuyvesant
to do away with bad homes. But
there were very many good
homes, which should, she said,
not be demolished. Instead the
City should Induce developers to
build new two - family homes to
replace the bad ones.
Award Night
Brooklyn State Hospital will
honor various volunteer organiza
tions and individual volunteers
at an "Award Night" on April
30 in the hospital's auditorium,
681 Clarkson Ave.
Mbu Edwiene Schmitt, Visitors
Board president, is listed as spec
Hal speaker.

pen in the distant future, but I
aun.confident that the Negroes
have no goal of intermarriage.
If they bad, they would have
been rushing to marry whites in
New York, in Illinois, in Michi
gan and in all the other states—
about >85 in all where intermar
riage is not forbidden by law.
But, instead, you have a very
few, an infinitesimal number of
intermarriages. I think that is
the best answer to this question.
Furthermore — women being
faf*fndre canny at this marriage
business than men — white wom
en are not going to marry men
who, they’ve been told since
childhood, are inferior, can’t
earn a good living. The woman
naturally wants somebody who’s
goiftTlo have social standing,
wjfcdr she can introduce to ber
friends with pride, and whom her
family,will accept.
F. W. Woolworth, In a state
ment issued this week, has
branded as unfair, the boycott
of its stores by civil rights
groups, a Woolworth Company
official said.
“The statement has been made
that the chain stores operating
in Birmingham, Alabama made
an agreement last September to
desegregate their lunch counters.
The fact is that no such agree
ment was ever made.
“An ordinance in Birmingham
prohibits desegregation of lunch
counters, theaters, rest rooms
and other public facilities. This
law is being enforced vigorously
by local authorities.
“Woolworth’s always has hon
ored any and all lawful agree
ments to desegregate its lunch
counters in the South and cer
tainly would do so should such
a lawful agreement be reached
by community leaders in Bir
mingham.
-QrWbat is the attitude of Ne-
rfrfs fipward intermarriage?
'TQ.it disturbs some Negrops,
too. I know of a Negro mother
who vfas greatly disturbed be-
caatto'her boy was going with a
white,girl. Finally, the two moth
ers got together and talked about

on? feeling that her family was
better than the other one. They
Just felt that, in the first place,
tbgjsgto were too young to under
stand what they were up
against. The colored mother was
more disturbed than the white
mother. The youngsters finally
broke off.
Q. Was this colored mother ty-
■pical, would you say?
Ji I. would say “Yes.” You’ll
find some Negroes who consider
Jt to be a great thing to be allied
'with a white family. But they are
•Jn the-jninority.
'< Q. la a whMe person who mar-
Bes a-Negro accepted in Negro
'circles?
t A, I'm afraid that I have to ad-
‘ nit that such a white person has
• a tough time. However, the ac-
Iceptance depends on the sophis-
•tlcatton of the groups concerned,
igf inctimes there is no resent

Z A. Well, the only thing I can
>ay 14 that Negroes are Just as
conservative as American white
people.
.* And then there is this: Among

Bars Violence
In connection with the deseg
regation of our lunch counters,
our primary concern is that it
be accomplished without violence.
That is why we feel it is so
important to work with com
munity leaders.
‘‘Because of Woolworth’s out
standing record in race relations,
and in view of our consistent
and continuing record of active
co-operation in peaceful desegre
gation of lunch counters in the
South during the past three
years, a boycott of our stores is
completely unwarranted and un
fair.
"Contrary to some reports,
“Woolworth’s has not caused the
arrest of any person in conncc
tion with alt-ins at any of its
lunch counters.”

leaving the agency which could
be an effective instrument in
helping to make New York City
a model for intergroup harmony.
These are some of the conclu
sions reached by this reporter
in a series of discussions and
interviews with civic and com
munity leaders and with present
and former staff members of the
agency which officials say is
being treated as a "stepchild”
of the city’s major departments,
despite the Mayor’s constant
glowing phrases in praise of
COHR.
Most civic leaders agree that
the low budget of the agency is
partially responsible for some
of its troubles.
Since 1955 when the salaries
of the Commission staff workers
were established, there has been
no change in the salaries, despite
the increase in the cost of living,

promised by City Hall once caus
ed the Commission to threaten
to resign en masse and has
resulted in the loss of many
former top staff workers Includ
ing Warren Gardner, Cyril Ty
son, Harold Hunton, Eugene Cal
deron, Antonia Pantaja, John
Dobliss, and Martha Valle, near
ly all going to better paying
jobs with other city or social
work agencies.
Most of their jobs have not
been filled because replacements
will not come In at the salaries
offered.
Added to the staff p
at COHR is the tension-torn
valry of the 15 members of the
Commission who represent vari
ous ethnic, religious, civic and
community groupings in the city.
The mere composition makes it
almost impossible for effective
action by the staff, many civic
leaders point out.
Chairman
Stanley H. Lowell, as the non-
salaried chairman of COHR, is
often out of town on business
and frequently handling private
cases with other city agencies,
and frequently staffers have
claimed they cannot take action
until it has been cleared with
the chairman.
Recently a Commission anti-
bias housing hearing was post
poned for six weeks because one
of the Commissioners was busy
in his private office, and the
ethnic survey which Mayor Wag
ner announced would be com
pleted in January, has been de
layed and hasn’t gotten started
because other city agencies pay
little attention to COHR In the
scheme of things.
Often official requests from
the Commission are ignored at
City Hall.
Since last summer the Mayor’s
office has delayed action on a
report of bias charges in the
Department of Corrections. A
request for a Brooklyn field of
fice has been ignored, and In
creases are forgotten.
Where Is the Commission go
ing? Is it playing an eff^Ave
role in combatting racial t2h-
sions? What do city oficlals say
about It? What can de done to
help change conditions In this
vital agency? These will be dis
cussed in future articles.

see to it that the people who are getting
paid to do something about this, really
DO SOMETHING!
I could also ask: How about the prin
cipal of JHS 126? Hasn’t he seen the
sign? Does he care? What about the
policemen from the 114th Precinct? Are
the cops supposed to ignore such signs?
What about the Youth Board working
in the area? All these people are getting
paid.
But who’s really minding the store?
Many white people today are walking
around New York asking “why arfe
Negroes so hostile”?
Don't ask me!
Don’t make me laugh!

New York State veterans were
reminded this week by Frank
V. Votto, Director of the New
York State Division of Veterans’
Affairs that in order to take
advantage of the State law grant
ing tax exemption for real pro
perty purchased w*ith eligible
funds, they would do well to
establish the amount of their
exemption as soon as possible.
Veterans who desire to take
advantage of this benefit afford
ed them by New York State must
file a "verified” application with
the local assessor on or before
Grievance Day in the particular
locality where the property is
located.
Unless the veteran has already
established the amount of exemp
tion to which he is entitled, he
should contact the New York
State Division of Veterans’ Af
fairs office as soon as possible
in order to check eligibility, pro
cedure and limitations under the
law. The address is 270 Broad

N. J. Landlord
Must Stop
Discrimination
TRENTON, N.J. — The Vesta
Co. and its owners were ordered
Saturday to cease and desist dis
criminating in renting their apart
ments at 2 Dempsey Ave., Edge-
water. by George S. Pfaus, Assis
tant Commissioner of Education.
The owners are Henry C. Senger,
Jr., John Lowe and Joseph T..
Panucci.
The order culminates the pro-J
cessing of a complaint filed on
December 18. 1962 with the New
Jersey Division on Civil Rights
by Mrs. Della David, a Negro.
Mrs. David charged that she had
been refused rental of a vacant
apartment in the building at 2
Dempsey Ave. because of her
race.
Following investigation by staff
of the division and the failure of
mediation efforts, a public hear-*
ing was scheduled before Hear
ing Examiner Julius Wildstein.
The hearing was held on January I
11 and 15, 1963 and Saturday's
order by Pfaus follows the re
commendations of the hearing
examiner.
The Veata Co. was not directed
to the order to rent an apart
ment to Mrs. David because she
and her family "subsequent to
the filing of the complaint and
without awaiting the hearing atTfl
decision in this matter, resorted
to self-help by moving into dis
puted apartment without the per
mission of any of the respond
ents,” ‘Pfaus said quoting Wild-
steln’s report of hit findings.
