JOHN HANCOCK writes
BY JOHN HANCOCK

The Harvey Merchants N1o4Iu
street, have opened a drive OF
competition with the shopping
centers that have drained off
over 30 per cent CT the business
in the city. They seek to find
reasons for people going to the
shopping cen ters instead of
spending their money in Harvey.
MANY factors are to blame for
the situation, which should have
been apparent several years ago
If the modern trends had been
noted and progressive merchan-
dising had been installed. To
reverse themselves now may be
toe late because the City Coun-
Gil in Harvey and the 154th
Street business men have:
/. Failed to keep up with the
modern trends by neglecting to
provide modern shopping facil-
tiles that people expect, and
they have attempted to main
tain "horse and buggy city in
an atmosphere Of high powered
promotion.
2. There stiL is discrimination
of Negro people in Harvey. its
stores won't hire them unless
to sweep the floor; some doctors
won't have Negro patients and
one hardware merchant and a
former councilman said: II do
not need Negro business" and
the hospital does not have
Negro staff doctor OR nurse.
3. Most people nowadays have
money to spend, and usually
transportation to go where they
please, to get service they want.
The banks pick people to make
loans to, ask any Negro who
tried to borrow money for
house, garage, or car, except a
few who are favored.
Yes, "they say" that Harvey
has made progress, but then so
has Little Rock, Arkansas. The
cost of Discrimination is greater
for those who practice it, than
for those whom it is practiced
against. I can think of a few
merchants on 154th Street who
tried to be fear, but the good
suffers with the bad. The stu
alton that faces the Harvey
merchants should have been
foreseen. or someone 8 h oul d
have thought of it. Let US hope
they do not wait too long be-
cause the Handwriting is on
the WALL" and the competition
is stiff-and getting sitter each
passing month.

things. Such as:
Turning from the wrong
lane-a maneuver that can put
all concerned in the morgue.
Slowing to a crawl while they
figure out signs-another mis-
take which can mean a caved

Changing lanes without sig
naling-or looking. That's one
of the sureSt routes to the cem-
etery.

The conventioners soon learn
they can't simply cruise along
in the righthand slow lane
and be safe; too often they're
trapped without advance tip
off in a right-turn-only deal.
Then, off the freeway where
they didn't intend to be, they
spend many minutes looking
for a way back.
Nor can they count on learn
ing ahead of time where they'll
have to turn. Thee freeways,
rightly or wrongly, are marked
for people familiar with them.
Others don't have a chance.

Actually, the Biltmore ball

The first real emotion of the

hours later when Senator Ken

confronted by another, more
unnerving rival-Adlai Steven
son of Illinois. The entrance OF
the two-time Standard-bearer

Both encounters, it was felt,

thousands of women and chill
dren. The Africans, seeing the
exodus, became confused and
excited. They attempted to
block the escape routes and
scuffles resulted.
Refugees pouring into this
border post en- route to Nairobe
report looting, murder and
rape, but none Of these stories
is conf1rmable. There are 1,400
refugees in Uganda including
some Americans.
There are no details here of
an alleged attempt on Mr..
Lumumbas' life. It is possible
that Mr.. Lumumba, who comes
from the same Batatela tribe
to which belong most of the
force which initially staged the
mutiny, distrusted the con-
servative Belgian officers who
were angered by his rude in
dependence day speech before
King Baudouin. If so it was a
bad mistake on his part; other
African leaders have retained
white officers because, unlike
the Africans, they remain aloof
from politics. Promoting every
one one rank is unlikely to keep
the forces happy long.
This observer feels that the
lack of imperial mystique was
a considerable factor in the
Belgians' precipitate flight. 1t
is significant that Belgium &C
quired the Congo almost by
chance through the explora-
tions of Stanley and produced
no Rhodes to hold it together.
