Retribution Kenyatta Is Elected NAIROBI, Kenya — There was some sort of retribution in Ken­ ya this week as Mau Mau Lead­ er Jomo Kenyatta won a smash­ ing victory in the national elec- tions Which will bring him the title of Prime Minster of his country.

Cleaning Up Worst Block “Right now we are trying to clean - up the worst block in ' South Brooklyn.” said Rev. Wil­ liam J. Hall, pastor of Bethel Baptist Church, 263 Bergen St., Brooklyn. The “worst block” is Warren St., between 3rd and 4th Aves., where live over 850 people, some 500 of whom are youths, accord­ ing to the pastor. It is a totally Negro block, he said, and because of that the City has shown little concern for its problems. Dope pushers come in freely to peddle their wasting wares. Police Cars But police cars or patrolmen were seldom seen. Rev. Hall said, and apartments were brok­ en into daily by dope addicts hard-up for money. Police don’t enforce alternate parking regula­ tions so the sanitation depart­ ment can only clean the center of the street. Block Committee Mrs. Grace Grey, secretary of the block committee, said that getting the politicians and city of­ ficials to do something about it was "like pulling teeth." And her explanation for the indifference was that "Negroes live there.” The street was crowded with playing children, and some adults as we walked through. The sight that met the eye was repulsive. There w’ere two vacant lots filled with debris and they had been that way. Mrs. Grey said, for sev­ eral years. lyn, together with numbers 565 and 567. Six Dollars Mrs. Virginia Oates who lives on the fourth floor it 561 Warren St., said in October it will be two years since she got a rent raise of six dollars for a combina­ tion sink. But the sink was never put in. Her building as well as num­ bers 573, 575 and 581 were owned by Jack Smallem of 163-07 Depot Rd , Flushing. Across the street, the basements of buildings num­ bered 600 to 608 were flooded with sewage reportedly 15 inches deep. It came from the street pipe, one building superintendent said. City officials knew about it, but the leak had not been fepatred, “’cause, colored folks live here,” said the secretary. William Small, 33. of 240 W. 137th St., and his brother, Don­ ald 29. of 15 W. 137th St., are accused of assaulting Ptf. Anth­ ony Landeta of the West 123rd St. precinct. The officer was treated at Sydenham Hospital for hand injuries. Police said Ptl. Landeta ques­ tioned William about his car which was double parked and asked for his identification. WTien William walked away from the officer and entered the tavern, Ptl. Landeta followed. Poll Says Malcolm X No Leader The 6th A. D.

And inside in many houses were stairways creaking or falling apart and in general disrepair. Hallways were unpainted and dirty.
