FULL INSURANCE
COVERS FIRE LOSS

Undetermined losses suffered in
last Wednesdays fire, which wiped
out nearly half of the City's Of
flee and warehouse building at
9th and Jefferson Streets, are
fully covered by insurance. This
is because the City's insurable
property was revalued last fall
and a new policy covering $5,-
100000 of value Cup from So, $780,
000) was put into effect in JAN
uary. The revaluation was made
on recommendation of the City
Insurance Committee, appointed
about a year ago to handle all
insurance fer the city.
: All stock in the warehouse
which was purchased in quantity
to keep ahead of price increases
and to beat shortages was de-
stroyed. It will require some weeks
at least to determine its value
because all records in the office
Of the division of purchase and
stores also were destroyed.
Other administrative offices de-
stroyed or damaged were streets,
water and sewers, engineering and
planning, together with most of
the office equipment. Records and
valuable maps were saved in all
offices except purchase and stores.
Within an hour after the fire had
been brought under control by
the efficient work of the Fire De-
partment, the City Manager met
with all departments and division
heads affected to lay plans for
quick resumption of services and

charged that in many cases thru

ficiency, and even the honesty of
some of those who collect oud
federal taxes are distressingly
bad"
The system of tax collection,
he charged, "is shot full of cheap,
ineXcusable, political manipula-
tionS."
Senator Williams told the Sen
ate that the administration and
operation of Mr.. Johnson's office
is "disgraceful."
Records show, Senator Williams
said, that eight deputy collectors
in Mr. Johnson's office have been
convicted since 1916 on charges
Of bribery and irregularities in
volving special favors and SEN
fenced to serve a total of thirteen
and half years in Jail and pay
$32, 200 in fines.
THAT record alone is pretty
sad commentary on those in re-
responsibility" Senator Williams
said. "Such widespread corrup-
ton is usually the result of wide
spread mismanagement, and this
case is no exception"
Senator Williams told the Senate
that the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue reported to the Sec
retary of the Treasury last Feb
ruary 27 that conditions in 1947,
194S and 1949 chad become stead
lily worse" and that Mr.. Johnson

BY JOSEPH ISLAND

BY JOSEPH ISLAND
Editors Note = This is the
fourth and final installment in
series of an eyewitness story
as reported by the writer from
first-hand information during
World War III.
BY the combined efforts of all
the police authorities the situation
was finally brought under control,
and, the mopping up procedure
began. Soldiers and dissenters had
scattered everywhere in the Vicin-
ity. Wherever they could find a
hiding place to avoid arrest they
went into it. They hid in civilian
homes, deserted buildings, parks
and anywhere they could find.
But police and military police were
routing them out and placing them
under arrest for investigation.
Many Negro soldiers were rounded
ut that night, and many released
later as police were taking no
chances as to who might have
been involved in the riot.
Next day newspapers carried the
account that three persons had
been killed and eleven wounded.
However, it was never fully known

, just how many were actually
killed. 1 believe the fatality list
was much higher because military
custom did not release this kind
OF information to the public. But
1 do know some Of the top army
officials were sent here to make
investigations into the matter. In
Guided in this group were: Briga-
dier General T. K. Brown, COM
mander of the Southern Land
Frontier, from Camp Lockett
California; Brigadier General, Ben
jarinin o. Davis, sent from Wash
ington and Colonel John F. Good
man, who became commanding Of
ficer of the 364th Infantry, re-
lieving Colonel Fred o. Wickham
after the riot.
For several days after the riot,
the hunt for disSenters continued
A detachment of armored cars
was sent into Phoenix from Cali
fornia. These cars were mounted
with thirty and fifty calibre ma
chine guns and patrolled the streets
night and day.
On one occasion deserted build
ing, south of Buckeye Road, was
suspected of being a hiding place
for dissenters. Upon receiving this
information, one of the armored
cars was sent to the scene. After
commanding all occupants Of the
house to come out, the building
was riddled with fifty calibre ma
chine gun fire. They took no
chances on anything for a num-
Der of men and gums were reported
still missing from camp.
It was serious business and for
week the Negro population of
the town had the jitters. Because
Whosever home was suspected of
hiding soldiers from authorities
was gone into and searched and
questions asked later.
These were only a few Of the
many accounts in connection with
the riot, which only went to prove
that it was serious business. But
in the end fifteen soldiers were
held and accused as instigators.
and participants of the Thanks
giving night riot. And out Of this
fifteen, nine were later given
prison terms ranging from five to
twenty years.
Just who was actually to blame
for this riot, I cannot say. But [
Go know it actually happened and
we were all lucky.
