INVESTIGATION REVEALS
HOODLUMS, NOT BIAS
CATSED SCHOOL. RIOT


NEW YORK (NNPA)-An in
vestigation by the faculty of Ben
jamin Franklin High school into
the fighting outside the school, at
10th Street and Pleasant Avenue
here, in which a relatively small
number of students participated, at
tributed the outbreak more to hood
lumism than to any race tension
within the school itself.
DR.. Leonard Covello, principal of
the school, commended that there was
no animosity among Negro and
white students, and no resentment
or i'll will toward teachers.
A statement by teachers revealed
that on the day of the incident,
September .27, an argument de-
veloped in the gymnasium between
two boys who dared each other to
fight. After school was out, the re-
port SAID, white boys, some of
them not connected with the school,
armed with sticks, attacked indis-
criminately Negro boys from
Franklin lined up to board the
bus"
The following day, according to
the report, a group of Negro
youths, some armed, got off a Lex
ington Avenue bus and marched en-
masse toward the school. They
were headed off by DR.. Covello who
interviewed in time to prevent any
thing happening to white boy they
were pursuing.

LIVE WITH WORLD OR DIE
WITH DIE-HARDS

If the day ever arrives when we
can no longer get along with the
other nations, we shall find that
We can't get along with ourselves,
either, For it is a peculiar fact
that those who favor our using our
power to squeeze our former allies
to the limit are also the intransi-
geants in home politics-and, in the
fullest sense, We are offered the
choice of whether to live with the
world or to die with the die-hards.

problem; we should speak of "the
Negro possibility" The problem is
not in the Negro, but rather in US
who, by our prejudices and fears
have made him a problem instead
of possibility. White Christianity
needs a baptism of the spirit of
Simeon to make our religion into a
revelation of possibilities of people
instead of into something that boil
sters up our prejudices. Christian
ity is a double revelation-of God
and of mainland when it does not
do that it is not Christianity, but
a religious bolstering of racialism.
We need a religious faith that
brings faith in people as well as in
God.
