From Rags to Riches and

NEW YORK - Although he
earned 81, 100000 by fighting
from 1910 to 1859, he is now
broke. This is the admission
of former heavyweight cham
pion Ezzard Charles in a
story in the June issue Of Gil
max, a monthly magazine.
Charles tells an interesting
and fortnight story of his
rise from poverty and anony-
nifty up the ladder 20 wealth
and fame, and his descent
from the top rung back to the
bottom.
All he has left now is his
hou in Cincinnati, which is
debt-ridden by taxes, and a
couple of part-time jobs which
bring him in a mere subsist-
ence income. Not only that.
he cannot afford telephone
or a car.

A few weeks ago Mrs. Hall

Mrs. Byrd was indeed "an
angel of mercy" sowing seeds
of kindness, not only among
friends and the neighborhood
but all over the city, in homes,
hospitals, churches, funeral
parlors, alleys and wherever
she could lend helping hand.
Mrs. Hall, climaxed her meet
ing by saying, Lets give her
some flowers while she can
smell them" The results was
the special Appreciation Pro-

Both the Program at the

the city. to try to make them
feel that someone is working
for them"
Many in the audience nodded
quietly in agreement.
Apathy Is q Problem
1t is clear that one Of the
biggest problems facing the or
ganizationS is apathy among
Negroes themselves.
1t is common to hear the
president of a civic association
complain about how poor the
turnout is at meetings, or how
hard it is to get new members.
At the lowest economic level,
many Negroes in Washington
never have heard of a civic
association.
What's that?" they'll ask.
They also will ask the same
thing about other organizations
working for them. Sometimes
this is true even Of the NAACP.
They may have heard Of it.
but they have no idea what
it's doing. These people simply
are out of contact.
That economic group is not
in the habit of going to meet
ings," an Urban League Off
cial said. The trouble is you
can't impose middle-claSs pro-
grams on people who have not
experienced middle class living
and expect them to respond to
middle-claSs incentives.
First of all. you can't i'm
pose a central program on a
neighborhood. You can't do it
over a year or two when the
problem has been there for IS.
You've got to take people by
the hand and lead them. You've
first got to show them how to
walk"
He said: Those people don't
even know we're working for
them.
You see, for those people
equal opportunity is an empty
philosophy unless you can i'm
prove their competence"
The problem then is: How
do you make contact with a
large group which is with
drawn from-and often antag-
onistic to-society?
An educator answers this
way:
When the NAACP or the
Urban League want to get a
message across to the people,
how do they do it?
They go to the churches. {"

He said the FTC is in the

Among the steps planned are:

2. Trials, formerly scheduled

3. Increased use will be made

ArranqedHere

Preparations for 1000 foreign
students due here on a four-day
sightseeing tour next month
boiled down to a problem of
logistics yesterday.
The problem is how to route
and where to park the 81 buses
that will transport the students
to various points in the city
smoothly and efficiently, with
out imposing on the general
public.
1t was hopefully settled by
local police - from the White
House, Capitol, Park and
Metropolitan forces - who met
with D. C. Transit System Of
ficials and representatives of
the sponsoring group, the
American Field Service.
The high school seniors from
so nations will arrive July IL
after completing a years visit
in American homes throughout
the continental United States.
Their four days here will in
clude a meeting with President
Kennedy on the White House
south grounds, luncheon in
their countries embassies, a
special Watergate concert spon-
sored by Secretary of Interior
Udall and a choice of six sight
seeing tours.

are a lot who don't understand
what the situation is" was the
reply.
A few minutes later another
woman, seated beneath the
American flag in the front Of
the room. asked:
why do they hate us SOP"
She was told whites don t
really hate Negroes. The prob
lem is that unscrupulous men
play on prejudice, ignorance
and bigotry. This hurts tn e
white man as we'll.
The speaker then returned
to his theme of civil rights.
He urged the association to
write President Kennedy and
the Washington newspapers in
protest against "the lack of
action on civil rights legisla-
ton.
A resolution to that effect
was introduced. 1t passed unan-
imouSly.
In another meeting in a diff
ferent section of the city, a
Government official. himself a
Negro. referred to the problem
of 10000 to 100000 Negroes in
Washington whose living
standards are far below normal.

respect and self-reliance and

Former FTC Chairman Earl
w. Kintner, now an attorney

Kahn and Plotkin here, also
turned to regulation in an ad-
dress prepared for today. He
urged the advertisers work to-
ward more self-regulation if
they do not want greater Gov
ernment regulation.
He particularly pointed out
a Cleveland program set up by
advertisers and media in which
report forms have been dis
tributed by which viewers, lis
teners and readers can con-
veniently complain about spe-
cific ads to the Cleveland Bet
ter Business Bureau.

"All we're doing today is first
aid work" he went on. You've
got to get at the source of
the problem and we're the only
agency in town really working
with the problem"
Hear NAACP Speakers
When the civic associations
meet at night in schools, homes
and recreation centers
throughout the city, they often
hear speakers from the NAACP
and the Urban League.
This is one way in which
the opinions of key Negro or
ganizations and leaders filter
back to the Negro communities.
In those meetings Negro lead
ers report on progress-or lack
of it-aAd attempt to mobilize
community opinion benin d
their efforts.
One meeting some weeks ago
was typical. About 25 Negroes
met in a small classroom in
Northwest Washington. The
blackboard was still marked
with class drills in arithmetic
when an NAACP official began
speaking about civil rights.
After he called for questions,
a woman stood and said:
Someone told me recently
that Negroes aren't ready yet. ;"
That's just the kind of talk
that makes me mad" the
speaker said. 1T isn't true.
We're ready-ready now"
But the man who said that
was a Negro the woman said.

principal factors holding their
race back.
Working to improve the
Negro'S position in Washington
are many organizations. Per-
haps the most important are
the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People, the Urban League and
the small neighborhood civic
associations composed entirely
of Negroes.
The NAACP. with about
10000 members in the District,
is the most militant. 1t takes
the spotlight seeking to
"breech the walls of discrim-
nation"
District and Federal Gov
ernment and private business
hiring policies are examined for
any evidence of racial bias. If
the NAACP suspects a viola
ton of civil rights, it investi-
gates and issues a public re-
port. usually in strong Ian
guage.
The NAACP's drive for equal
ity centerS on Congress and
the White House. 1t demands
action on behalf of Negroes
today.
Differ on NAACP
Most Negroes are solidly be-
hind the NAACP. Occasionally.
though, even that organization
comes in for criticism by Ne
groeS.
A typically favorable view
was expressed by a housewife.
The NAACP is wonderful
for u.s." she said. They are
very nice to the poor groups.
They really fight for us. I'm
going tonight to hear a man
from the NAACP speak at the
school"
More critical was a student. |
II don't agree with all this
rah rah out in public" he said.
"Oh, sure, it does some good,
but I think we'll accomplish |
more by working quietly with
out all the publicity. I know
the NAACP says we're not NOV
ing fast enough. Well, agree.
But I say we can move ahead
more effectively if We cut out
a lot of the fanfare"
Urban Leagues Role
The role of the Urban League
Is embodied in a recent state
ment of principles.
Where jobs for whites are
scarce. jobs for Negroes are
virtually unavailable. Where
public welfare assistance to
whites is miserly, to Negroes
it is miserable. Where homes
for whites are Substandard,
homes for Negroes are intol-
cradle"
An Urban League official /
says probably the most i'm
portant thing they are working
on today is the relocation and
housins of families affected by
the Governments urban re-
newal program.
ITS a tremendous traumatic
experience" he said. Brick
and mortar are not the most
important thing, it's people
that count. In effect. you're
