raped Mrs. Charles johnson in
her apartment at 1929 w. 22nd pl.,
and threatened her with death if
she did not move. The building
she lives in is owned by Chi
nese.
THE MEN described by Mrs.
Johnson as a Mexican and an
italian, forced their way into her
apartment at gun point early
Friday morning when no police
men were on duty in the area.
They searched her belongings,
claiming they were looking for
weapons. After ransacking the
apartment, the men raped Mrs.
Johnson, and attempted to rape
her 16 year old daughter Laura,
who was with her.
Before they left, the attackers
warned Mrs. Johnson to move or
be burned out They told her they
intended to clear the neighbor-
hood of Negroes. Those they do
not burn out, they threatened to
kill. Mrs. Johnson's husband
came home before the rapists
left, and they forced him to &C.
company them to the street,
threatening to shoot him. They
then fled the scene in opposite
directions.
Following Mrs. Johnson's COM
plant. Captain Doyle of the third
police district doubled the guard
over the area.
SINCE Pearl Harbor, there has
been an influx of Negroes into
the troubled area. Although many
families have lived there for 20
years, major disturbances only
began since VI day. Residents
feel that great change in the
voting population would upset
the delicate political balance in
the ward which is so arranged
that Republicans hold many
state offices, while the alderman
is Democrat.
Many residents feel that hood
lums are being used locally to
maintain this balance through
terroristic acts. Daily, families
are moving from the neighbor-
hood, DESPITE the doubled police
guards. Most of them feel that
the terror wave will begin again,
as soon as the police details are
| removed.
