Time To Stop This Carnage
A variety of acts and over-
eights were cited as contributing
to Brooklyn's mounting toll of
traffic accidents involving pedes-
trains but the starkest causes re
mained pedestrian failure to cross
At .the intersections and crossing
from between parked cars.
A Police Department statistical
report for 1962 showed 5,320 ped
estrian accidents for the hornngh
and 145 fatalities. Although the
department did not break down
by borough the pedestrian acts
that led to accidents, it did reveal
that on a city-wide basis the
most prevalent causes of pedes
trian accidents were crossing not
at a crossing (2,227 and coming
from behind a parked vehicle
(3 380) totaling 5.607 out of a
citywide pedestrian count of
14,435.
Police Records
The Amsterdam News learned
from the Police Accident Rec
ords Bureau that Brooklyn’s traf
fic accidents for the first four
months of 1963 add up to 3,823,
including pedestrian and non-ped
estrian accidents, with a fatality
of 57 in both types of accident.
The Amsterdam News four-
month breakdown for 1963 showed
a total of 337 pedestrian acci
dents and 330 non-pedestrian ac
cidents in the Bedford-Stuyvesant
area with 35 fatalaties in both
categories.
Among the most dangerous in
tersections on the basis of acci
dent figures for 1962 and incom
plete unofficial tallies for the
first quarter of 1963, are Atlantic
and Schenectady, Atlantic and
Troy, Atlantic and Buffalo; Bed
ford and Fulton, DeKalb and Sum
ner; Atlantic and Bedford; At
lantic and Nostrand, Atlantic
and Classon. Also Putnam and
Ralph, Atlantic and Utica, Atlan
tic and Brooklyn, Gates and Lew
is, Fulton and Nostrand.
Police said the most frequent
causes of accidents involving prop
erty damage only were follow
ing and loss of control of the
vehicle.
Ask Mayor To Make
PS 275 Test Case
Brownsville’s Emergency Committee for the In
tegration of JHS 275 urged at a City Hall conference
Friday, that Mayor Robert Wagner ask the Board of
Education to make the issue of JHS 275 a test case
for integration.
The often announced purpose
of better education for ail New
York City school children would
be defeated if JHS 275, built
to further school integration, opens
In September on the basis of
a 70-30 ratio proposed by
the Board of Education.
Besides calling for Mayor Wag
ner’s support of the 50-50 com
munity plan for the new school,
the Committee’s representatives
urged the relief of JHS 263 now
on triple sessions. This would
be achieved by mandatory zoning
of some 300 children into JHS
68 in Canarsie and by sending
at least 100 to JHS 285.
Unavoidable
The representations were made
to James J. Wilson, educational
assistant to the Mayor, in the
unavoidable absence of Mr. Wag
ner, whose wife was in the hos
pital. Supporting the Committee
at City Hall were representatives
of the Metropolitan Education
Council of the State NAACP.
ping of the 70-30 plan for one
that would bring maximum in
tegration at JHS 275.
In a letter to Mr. Rubin, UFT
president Charles Cogen asked
that the school open with three
grades instead of one as suggested
by the Board. And he asked that
JHS 275 be one of the schools
to operate under the UFT dif
ficult schools proposals with class
size limited to 18.
Ease Tension
Cogen assured Rubin that the
Federation would help to ease
tension in the community and
fight for true school integration.
This assurance was also con
veyed to the Emergency Com
mittee, two of whose represent
atives, Mrs. Willar Webster and
Mrs. Helen Efthiam, met Mon
day morning with Mr. Cogen
and his assistant A1 Shanker.
The two groups discussed the
role of teachers in the struggle

In a letter to Superintendent of
Schools Dr. Calvin Gross, CORE
charged that the Board had
gerrymandered a circular high
income area around the Grand
Army Plaza. Brooklyn, into the
Erasmus, High School district.
Here’s how it goes in eas..-to-

(1) a man and woman prom

(you can pick you own location)
and make like they wanna regis

2) The nightclerk, James Good-
feliow (include him out next
time) steps up to desk to regis
ter the bliss-bound pair.
J) Man produces fist sized rock
(stone or other similar instru
ment will do) and flattens clerk
with blow on the head.
Zoned
The entire area surrounding
this circle is zoned into John Jay
High School, which, CORE as
serted, is “an academically in
ferior school.’’ Students within
the circle are whites whose par
ents are at the top of the econo
mic ladder, while those excluded
are Negro. Puerto Rican and low
income whites.
CORE said its investigation

Like Weeks, Morris lives much
nearer to Erasmus HS than the
rich white students within the
privileged circle. Morris, a stu
dent at P.S. 9, wants to take
courses like Analytic Calculus
and Zoology given at Erasmus,
but was refused permission to go
out of the John Jay HS district.
Weeks is a student at St. Jo
seph's parochial school who wants
to go to Lincoln or Midwood high
school so. she can take Russian.
Although it is Board's policy to
permit transfer for such a reason
she was restricted to John Jay
where Russian is not given.
*
De-Zoning
Brooklyn CORE demanded: 1.
de-zoning of all academic high
schools .and representation of Ne
gro students in proportion to pop
ulation ratio; 2. standardization
of curricula in all academic high
schools and a plan for desegre
gating them to be made public
before September, 1963.
Failure to satisfy the demands,
CORE said in its letter, would
compel the group to “take action
on its own io implement the
Supreme Court decision of 1954
in the manner of the Bibulds in
November 1962 and Englewood,
New Jersey in May 1963.”

A warning about a pos
sible racial “blood-bath” in
northern cities rang out
from the pulpit of Brook
lyn’s Concord Baptist
Church as the Rev. Gardner
Taylor preached his Sun
day sermon May 26.
Dr. Taylor, lamented that "so
many so-called liberals do not
begin to understand the explosive
impatient anger in the Negro
community today.” And he il
lustrated his point with a local
situation.
“To my shock the past week,”
he said, “the New York City
Commission on Human Relations
announced that it is reducing its
staff by 13 persons, and this at
the most critical juncture of
race-relations in the history of
the land.
This, and the dreary derelic
tion of this agency in general,"
he said, indicated that the white
power structure was not in tune
with the pulse o< the Negro’s re
volt against injustice. v
Speaking to an audience wider
than his 2,000 listeners. Rev.
Taylor asserted that, “We are
ccmmunities, as well as South
ern, in the matter of race and
democracy.
"It is still time for people of
deep moral and civic commit
ment to steer Northern cities to
ward true democracy. Sadly
enough we are missing the
chance while beating our breast
about Birmingham. God help us
to seize and redeem what little
time is left.”
