Grand jury
Questions Cicero
Policeman

Chicao (NNPA) = A Cicero
policeman, Frank Jendrazewski,
repeatedly had difficulty explain
ing to the Cook County grand jury
last Thursday why he remained
just two blocks away from the
scene of rioting in Cicero last
July II while mob was seriously
damaging a 20-apartment build
ing.
The jury is investigating the
rioting which resulted after a
colored family attempted to move
into the building. The rioting
reached it's peak on the nights of
July II and II.
1t was suggested to Jendrazew-
ski, during the grand jury ques-
tioning, that he would have done
more good at the building. He
replied that it was his duty to re-
main at 10Th street and 60th ave-
nue. where he had been stationed
to keep the crowds away.
Jendrazewski was asked what he
would do if he were directing traf-
fic and he heard a woman a half
a block away shouting that she
had been raped.
"That would be different" Jen-
drazewski repeatedly replied "That
would be something happening"
The jury also heard three other
Cicero policemen, Joseph Wolak,
Rudolph Bilek and Anton Hruby.
Wolak, who was injured fighting
some twenty young hoodlums in
side the building July II, was re-
ported commended by a juror for
good work. Bilek repeatedly told
how the mob slashed three tires
on his police squadroll.
Harvey E. Clark, Jr., %, Chi
cago Transit Authority bus driver
who attempted to move into the
building, said last Thursday that
he was determined to occupy an
apartment there once the damage
is repaired. He made his comments
at a press conference in offices of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Unless he moves into the Cicero
apartment with his wife and two
children, Clark said, "the mob will
have gotten away with an afro
cious thing which might be re-
peated in other communities"
An official of the association
said it had not encouraged Clark
to move into the apartment, but
because he is determined to do so
it twill back him to the hilt in
his constitutional right to live
where he wishes"
Clark said that, contrary to re-
ports, he had not been offered a
job or apartment in Norwalk, Con-
necticut, where he visited recently.
Sgt. Charles Verbiski of Cicero
police was reported to have told
the jury last Wednesday that he
saw Norman Silverman, 26, of
Riverside, melting the mob to riot
July 1 around the apartment build
ing.
Another Cicero policeman, Rob-
ert Holecek, was said to have told
the jury last Tuesday that he saw
Silverman melting the mob to riot
July IL. Silverman was arrested in
Cicero August z, after several wit
nesses accused him of distributing
Communist literature urging an
end to mob rule"
The jury last Wednesday heard
Arizona sun., 1951-08-24

six other witnesses, including three
Cicero policemen, Cicero's. assis-
tant fire chief, and two former oc-
cupants of the building, which was
badly damaged in the rioting.
Holecek repeatedly identified
Silverman as the man he saw
wearing a lapel button reading:
GO. Go. Keep Cicero White"
The jurors also questioned
George C. Adams, a colored at
torney, for two and one half hours.
Adams had been identified pre-
viously as an attorney for Mrs.
Camille De Rose, former owner
of the building involved in the
rioting.
Adams reportedly told the jury
he has been owner of the build
ing in fact since March 20. He re-
portedly said it was purchased
from Mrs. De Rose in the name of
his wife's grandniece, held under a
trust agreement for time, and
finally transferred to him. The
purchase price, he said, was slightly
more than 100000. He repeatedly
denied reports that he tried to
sell the building to a Cicero group
for $4,000.
Adams, it was reported, told the
jury that Cicero police prevented
the Clark family, which had
rented an apartment, from moving
into the building June 8. The po-
lice, he repeatedly said, "roughed
up" the Clark family that day.

CITIZENS URGED TO
REMAIN ALERT

Phoenix citizens are to. be com-a

their city charter and then in
November, 1949, electing a strong
city council to back up the strong
city manager form of government,
Allen H. Seed, Jr., told a group

last week. But, said Seed, who is
field representative for the Ma
tional Municipal League, the citi-

want to keep good government.
The occasion was the presentation
Of a scroll to the Mayor which
designated Phoenix as one of the

depend on this exercise of private responsibility
Once we accept that concept of private response
bity, believe that what seemed confused before
suddenly becomes clear: We need responsibility
because responsibility develops human character
= and selfreliant character, based on the great
Judean-C Christian principles, is the objective of
Western civilization.
HE only sure way to solve our problems. indi-
vidually and as nation. is to widen our sense of
private responsibility. We must go beyond our
selves and our immediate family. We must feel
an ever-growing sense of responsibility for each
other, for our neighbors and for our community
We must realize that we are not in the world just
to gain benefits for ourselves We are here to do
our small bit to build better world
In short each one of us is a member of the
Private Responsibility System. Each one of US
has job to do. Opportunities for assuming re-
sponsibility exist on every street. in every neigh
borhood. In the face of challenge like that, how
is it possible to be confused?

DUHD1NG a swimming pool

When Mr.. Purse bought a
home at 1722 South Arlington
Ridge road. Arlington. Va. two
years ago. he found that the
land to the rear Of the house
rapidly was washing down a
steep hill toward Shirley high

his bare hands as the best way

put into these terraces 26. 900
old bricks bought from wreck
ing companies.
Rather than terrace his
whole hillside. he figured it
would be as simple-and more
fun-to make use of the de-
clivity back Of his second ter
race for a swimming pool. He
had to dig out some dirt. but
most of the preliminary work
for the pool was filling in dirt
and building a wall for the far
side Of it.
When he had the hole ready
with steel mesh reinforcing and
the concrete sides already in
place. he had a commercial
firm pour the concrete for the
bottom OF the pool. This was
his biggest expense-$953. He
estimates he spent about 81. 200
on the whole pool.
From a postcard picture. Mr..
Purse designed his pool along
the lines Of that at the Nacional
Hotel in Havana. Cuba. He
made 1t with gradually sloping
sides. SO 1t is easy for his two
boys-Victor. jr., 10. and Geof-
frey, S. to walk out of the
pool at any point. The great
est depth Is about 6 feet. The
pool is 54 feet long and ranges
from "a feet to "a feet wide.
Mr.. Purse Is now busy build
ing serpentine ramps from his
house down to his pool to avoid
steps for unwary guests and to
facilitate rolling garden equip
ment. He completed the pool
late this summer and plans to
finish the ramps and an ada
cent patio by next summer.
Born IN Portland, Oreg., Mr..

listers has been exaggerated by her
biographers. Her influence with the
voters once was put to test. She let
her preference for Melbourne be
known and this public knowledge
was primary cause Of that min
ister's downfall.
Since then the royal household has
tended to stay in political vacuum.
1t is quite likely that. unlike most
girls, Elizabeth has never heard her
father express a political opinion at
the dinner table. Not even when
the incredible happened, and Win
ston Churchill's government fell to
be succeeded by socialist cabinet
was there a word said by Britain S
non-political royal family.
AS to the Importance Of being a
dutiful monarch, an occurrence with
in Elizabeth's memory probably has
been an object lesson. Her grand
father was the most dutiful King in
modern British history. When he
died. observers all said that he left
the monarchy stronger than 1t had
been for centuries. Her uncle David
had his own ideas about royal duty.
Within a few months the throne
rocked by a constitutional crisis so
violent that there are still cracks in
the pedestal.
Courage Under Fire
She has the courage of one who
has been under fire. When the bomb
ings started, Britain evacuated all the
children possible to Canada. But roy
atty has higher duty and the prin-
cess remained in Windsor Castle, an
occasional target. Time and again she
was awakened in the middle of the
night by the alarm of bombers ap-
preaching, went down to the dun
geons with Margaret Rose and tried
to sleep again until the all-clear
sounded.
When she ascends the throne, she
may give Britain an emotional lift.
The monarch is but symbol, pro-
fessors on the science" of govern
ment have said. But symbols are i'm
portant. When it comes down to it,
they are what men fight for whether
it be cross, crown or flag. And
Britons never fought better than they
did on the Spanish Main in the days
of Elizabeth or along the Nile or the
Indus in the days of Victoria, when
the battle cry was God Save the
Queen!"
There is something special about
queen. AS A. E. Housman wrote in
1887 on Victoria's golden jubilee:
"Oh, God tpiu Saue her fear you not,
Be you the men you'ue been,
Get you the sons your fathers got
A And God WiH sape the Queen."., q
