japanese Writer
Sees Improvement
For US. Negro

Tokyo (ANP)-Ashihei Hino, a
japanese novelist and critic, re-
Gently returned from a two-month
trip to the u. S. said he saw i'm
provement in the status Of Ne
groes in many places, including
Little Rock.
Must Improve Self
In an article in the newspaper
Shimbun, Aino said the Negro, IF
he demands outright equality,
without improving his own record
for crime, ignorance and unclean-
illness, is bound to fail"
He charged in previous writings,
that the us. mistreated our
brothers and sisters in Olxinawa.
He also ridicules punishment of
low ranking japanese soldiers for
war crimes.
Problem Deep Rooted
He admitted he visited Little
Rock with a preconception mixed
with dread.'' He said, II had
thought II was a fearsome place Of
bigotry where poor Negroes were
ruthlessly prosecuted by whites. I
found out my preconception was
completely wrong. II was a quiet,
beautiful city whites and col
ored people were living together
in harmony"
Facilities for the Negroes were
as good as those in New York,
Boston, and Chicago I had seen
earlier. I know II is wrong TO con-
slider the Little Rock school Incl
dent as a peak Of the Negro prob
lem. II Is far more complex and
deep rooted" the writer said.
Editors Note: This newspaper
questioned a present st. Paul,
MINI. resident who moved here
from Little Rock, Arkansas about
the japanese writer's statement:
Facilities for the little Rock)
Negroes were as good as those in
New York, Boston and Chicago.
The former ArSansan said: I
don't know where Mr.. Hino was
taken when he went to my home
town but his statement certainly
doesn't describe conditions as they
are. To say that facilities in Little
Rock for Negroes are as good as
they are in the north Is a real
mistatement Of the facts. as they
are"

A slight man with grazing
hair and a calm disposition is
heading the frantic efforts of

The man. who is sympathetic

manager Of the Electric system
Iof PEPCO.
He became vice president
only last October, but as boss
Iof the electric system since
1854. he learned Through ex-
perience''-dealing with Hur-
ricane Hazel nearly three years
ago-how to get power lines
back in shape and how to
maintain a good disposition.
A modest man, Mr.. McCabe
gives the credit of a smooth
operation" and speedier re-
storing Of service than when
Hazel struck, to the nearly
100 men-both outside and
inside workerS-who are stay
ing overtime to bring things
back to normal.
100 Per Cent Cooperation
He named a number Of out
standing ''heutenants," two of
whom are Albert C. Tayman.
superintendent of the overhead
lines division and acting man
|ager Of the distribution de-
.partment, and Stephen r.
Woodzell, assistant manager of
the electric system. The two
are directly supervising the
restoration of service under Mr..
McCabe.
"All the men have done an
excellent and remarkable job"
the genial executive said, land
all have co-operated 100 per
cent" j
But it was Mr.. McCabe who
put the company's disaster
plans" into effect early Thurs
day morning. He was on the
job calling in all available men,
along with Mr.. Tayman and
Mr.. Woodzell. to answer trouble
calls-and give priority to those
places needing service first.
Under the priority system.
the big supply lines to substa-
tons had to be restored first.
But while this was going on.
hospitals. police and fire de-
partments, food commissaries,
the telephone company, televi-
sion and radio stations, and
water and sewage pumping sta
tons were given special consid-
Grafton.
Also. it was Mr.. McCabe's
job to see that help was
brought in through other cleo
trio contractors.
II contacted neighboring util-
ities." he said. "but found that
they were in the same shape"
There had been no warning of
the intensity of the storm

medical devices whose health
was threatened by the blackout
dairy farmers whose milking

The latter category of calls

with name, address, and nature
of complaint, were quickly
pulled from the rest and as
signed a high priority for re.
pair.
More than 100 complaint
clerks on duty Ordinarily there
are two to FOUR received the
calls with sympathy and tact
but the lesser complaints were
sometimes inwardly regarded
with reserve-particularly if thu
employee himself-like William
L. Mortified, 40-knew his fam
lily was in the same boat.
"All you could do was make
the best of it," he said. For.
tunately, my wife and four kid!
could go next door to a house
we own where there was a gas
stove. In fact. we're still heat
ing the place with the oven
and melting snow for water"
Customers Helpful
The Mortfelds live at 548s
Sunnyside avenue, College
Park.
Despite their troubles, the
PEPCO people regarded theil
customers as allies in the battle
to restore service.
"We couldn't hope to locate
all the breaks without Their
calls" a company spokesman
said, land, really, only a few
of them were bad eggs"
There have been a few call:
from customers generally
known in Washington as Very
Important Persons, who de-
manded special attention. Un-
less their cases involved actual
emergency, the company said
they were treated like all the
others.
Field crews we're dispatched
by radio first to areas where
