The SPECTATOR
RY ELLIOTT J. PIEZE
MIAMPS SAFETY DIRECTOR
SLUR COMPLETELY
UNFOUNDED

The age old trick of many
member of the Caucasian Race
of always resorting to "slur" or
an insult to the Negro, whenever
they have nothing else to tell
their audience, or whenever they
are under pressure from higher
authorities was brought to
light again this week, by Miaml'S
Director of Public Safety, O. D.
Jack" Henderson. Under pres
sure from Miami's Mayor Will
liam F. Wolfarth, who presented
him with concrete evidence that
gambling by playing bolita, is
still prevalent in Miami, Safety
Director Henderson is reported to
have said that in order to close
down bolita completely in Miami,
it would be necessary to arrest
everybody in the Miami central
Negro section. In other words,
the Safety Director would like
the Mayor to believe that every
one of the more than $4,000 Ne
groes who live in this area in
dulge regularly in gambling by
playing bolita.
OF course, I'm convinced that
Mr.. Henderson did not really
mean what he is reported to have
told the mayor about bolita in
Miami, but such irresponsible and
unfounded statements coming
from a public official cannot be
condoned by any community.
It is true and has been for a
long time and, it is well known
by many people, that a large num-
Der of people ein1 this area engage
in the playing bolita regularly.
But it is also true that an even
larger number of the people Of
this. section do not play and do
not engage in any form of gamb-
ling at all. There are in this area
a large number of decent, re-
spectful, christian people, who do
not gamble, inspite of the many
temptations and opportunities
within easy reach of their homes.
The statement reported to have
been made by Mr.. Henderson is
nothing less than a gross and un-
necessary insult to the majority
of the Negroes in Miami. It be-
comes even more alarming when
it is realized that such a state
ment is attributed to one of Mi
arni's top public officials.
Safety Director Henderson
owes the decent, law abiding Ne
groes of Miami an open and pub
lie apology for that unnecessary
"Slur" which he is reported to
have made on their good name.
Anything less than a public
apology would leave a grave
doubt in the minds of many of
the people of this fair city, as to
the fairness and integrity of the
man who holds the top position in
the city's law enforcement de-
partment.
