Story Behind
The Cicero
Anfi-Neqro Riot

Cicero, H. (ANP)-The saga
OF the anti-Negro riot in Cicero is
the story of an all-white town Of
first and second generation
whites, a disliked landlady. and a
Negro family of four crowded into
a one-room apartment in Chi
Cages ghetto.
As is the case for several sub
urbs OF Chicago, Cicero is town
that has never had a Negro resi-
dent. Its white folk are people
who either recently came to
America from Europe or are
sons and daughters Of immigrants
from Europe.
The story Is that Mrs. Camille
De Rose, former owner Of the
building, was a landlady very
much disliked In this town and
one who had threatened several
times to rent an apartment to Me-
groes II they did not like her deal
ings. Recently, she had been or
dered TO pay $3.50 back to her ten
ants for overcharges.
It appears that whites in Cicero
had told her that she would no,
live II she rented to Negroes
Through some legal gymnastics
however, she had the building
turned over to Jewel Young OF
4757 South Parkway in Chicago's
black belt. Through the new
owner, the Clarks got their apart
ment.
Who Are the ClarISs?
The father is Harvey e. Clark
Jr., 20, a World War III veteran
who works for the Chicago Tran
sit Authority as a bus driver. The
mother is Johnetta Clark, 20. Both
were fellow students at Fisk uni
versity when they met.
They were married nine years
ago and have two children, Mich
ellie, 8. and Harvey III, 8, both
born in Nashville.
Clark's college studies were in
terrupted when he went to the
army air forces in 1912 as an
aviation instructor at Tuskegee
institute. He was discharged in
1915.
In 1919 he was graduated from
Fisk and brought his family "a
Chicago. He went TO work as an
insurance agent before starting
to work for the eta. According
to his attorney, George c. Adams
he still is willing to live in Cicero
Adams said:
He doesn't believe Cicero resi-
dents can afford TO deny him his
civil rights after he made such a
sacrifice and helped to win the
war and to establish the safety Of
those who live in Cicero"

Anaconda.

Anacondas are large snakes, Sec
Iond only to the reticulated python
of the Malay region. An adult may
reach a length of 80 feet.
This is the largest member of the
true boas." There are arboreal
and aquatic species, well equipped
for life along the rivers of South
America. The largest anaconda
lever exhibited in the United States
resided in the New York Geological
Park. This guest reached length
|of IS feet 6 inches and lived con-
ltentedly in this park for several
years..
Though a rather fiercesome sight
the anaconda is not poisonous. II
Iyou should be bitten by one, the
wound will heal quickly as there
are no decaying particles on the
teeth to produce blood poisoning.
The anaconda's eyes are almost
on the top of his head. For the river
resident this is fine as he can look
Iup as well as around when hunting
for food. His teeth catch and hold
Iprey, not maSticate it, therefore
they are simple and smooth in
structure, pointing throatward.
When the snake closes its Jaws

Alabama Negroes Criticize
Taft Stand on Civil Riqhfs
BY the Assoeioted Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. TO-
Negro leaders served warning at
an Alabama meeting in progress
today that presidential candidates
must take a strong stand for civil
rights to get their votes.
Senator Taft, Republican, Of
Ohio. candidate for the Republican
nomination. was criticized last
night on the grounds that he is
soft-pedaling civil rights to woo
"Dixiecrat" support.
He was attacked by Clarence
Mitchell, head Of the Washington
Bureau of the National Association
for Advancement of Colored
People.
Mr.. Mitchell said: "This kind of
campaign may make him (Taft)
the darling of Confederates in
Alabama. but it will never help
him carry New York. California
and Pennsylvania"
Senator Taft told Southern
audiences and newsmen recently
that he opposes a compulsory fair
employment practices law against
racial discrimination in jobs as
favored by the NAACP. Senator
Taft supported a cooperative pro-
gram to make better jobs and
more of them available"

lease his prize, but clamps down all
the tighter. But, If he decides to
release his victim he will disgorge
at any stage of the feeding. He is,
inclined to be stubborn when you
interfere with his private affairs.
An anaconda can and does swal-
low prey at least four times the
normal diameter Of its throat. The
articulations of the jaws are very
loose and the connecting tissue of
the two halves of the lower laws
amazingly elastic. The jaws are
capable of accommodating any size
creature that has been crushed.
The constructing powers of the ana
conda are terrific. These monsters
rarely attack man or the much
larger animals, and then only under
|provocation. They much prefer to
smash a frog, small bird or animal
and enjoy it on the spot.
When hungry the reptile is lively,
its eyes searching for likely VIC
tim, while it's long tongue measures
the inches as it moves toward food.
After living in captivity for sew
eral months, these reptiles become
gentle and do not resent being
handled. They are prompt at feed
ing time. All food served them is
killed before serving to save the
public from the painful sight of
the death struggle.
Enjoying almost perfect digestion,
though the process consumes from
five to seven days, the reptile is in
lclined to be drowsy and sluggish.

perhaps, in the parlance of base

to spend those years in a more

Say: JY-unt.

Mrs. Keen'S double was exactly
right. She had no assurance at all
that her side could make game and
she felt that a double of two dia-

than a part-score.
Had Other Ideas.
Mr.. Dale, however, had other
ideas. He decided that his chances
for a vulnerable game were too
good to settle for what his side
could probably get out of the double.
When he suggested this by way of a
two-no-trump bid, Mrs. Keen was
glad to cooperate by going on to
the no-trump game.
Mr.. New. the avid kibitzer, be-
heves that his partners penalty
double must always be left in. But
pI4usc lS d game OF JuQgmenC, not
Of hard and fast rules.
Partner Has Duty.
II you only double an opponents
overcall when you know the bid will
be defeated substantially, you are
not doubling enough. Many penalty
doubles of this kind must be tenta-
tive in nature.
They tell partner that, as far as
your own hand is concerned, it
looks like the best thing for your
side is to let the enemy play their
contract doubled. However, you have
right to expect partners co-opera-
tion.
If he has a hand which is very
weak or for some reason is entirely
suited to defending against the
doubled contract, it is his duty to
take the double out.
Sometimes you will be right and
sometimes wrong in taking out the
double. But if you don't try to use
your judgment, considering the ma
ture of your hand, the vulnerability
situation, etc., you are throwing
away lot of points.
