There was no conflict between
groups of our citizens" said Mayor
LaGuardia. "What happened was
the thoughtless, criminal acts of
hoodlums, reckless, irresponsible
people"
The trouble began when a white
policeman Sunday night shot a
Negro man who tried to interfere
with the officer in his arrest of a
Negro woman in a hotel lobby.
Mayor LaGuardia admitted that
the situation was tense Monday
but said that the crowds were I'M
organized and easily broken up.
The mayor appealed to the resi-
dents of Harlem by radio to stay
at home. All traffic in the area
was stopped and stores closed.
Wounded By Rocks
Most of the injured persons were
wounded by rocks and missiles
thrown by hoodlums from roof
tops.
Several persons suffered from
stab wounds. Women and men rid
ing on buses early in the period
of violence were hit by flying bot
ties.
To quell the disorders, 5000 po-
icemen were stationed in Harlem.
In addition, 1900 Negro persons
were commissioned by Mayor La
Guardia to assist in maintaining
order. They were armed with
nightsticks and equipped with
Identification badges. They aided
police in patrolling the district in
an effort to keep order.
A 1890 p. m. curfew was i'm
posed in Harlem Monday night.
Harlem was not declared "off
limits" for soldiers but all army
men in the area would be chal-
lenged to give legitimate reasons
for being there.
The charges against the 500 per-
sons arrested were for the most
part burglary, unlawful entry, in
citing to riot, receiving stolen
property and grand larceny.
Soldiers Rescue Man
The West 123rd police station
was full of stolen meat, clothing,
furniture, liquor, canned goods and
groceries - picked up from the
street as looters fled.
A white man, attacked by a
group of hoodlums, was rescued by
Negro soldiers. An unoccupied car
was burned.
Mayor LaGuardia made three
radio addresses to the people Of
Harlem. In the third one, the
said:
81 expect from the people of Har-
lem the fullest cooperation today
and tonight and until complete Or
der is restored. Traffic will be
limited. We want to keep peo-
pie from other parts of the city
away from Harlem. Any who at
tempt to enter the damaged stores
in Harlem will be prosecuted to
the fullest"
Earlier Mayor LaGuardia had
said: "Shame has come to our
city and sorrow to a great num-
Der of decent, law-abiding citizens
residing in the Harlem district.
saw the recklessness of this mob
in action. Strange to say, there
was no concerted action. Groups
IF hoodlums acted on their own mi
;iative." Most of the injured per-
sons were victims of their own
