they felt the might Of the
United States Government
was being used to evict them
to make way for the carriage
trade.
Mr.. Finley and Mr.. Searles
were afraid of the result If q
hodge-podge of commercial
enterprises were allowed to
mushroom in the heart Of a
setting that includes the new
State Department, the Peo-
pies Life Insurance Building,
the vast Potomac Plaza
Apartments and the old
i. Naval Hospital grounds which
will be reserved for a public
park.
= Esthetie Structures
: Added to this, they argued,
are proposals for such es-
thetic structures as the Cul-
tural Center, the Pan Amer
lean Sanitary Bureau and
expansion Of George WASH
ington University. All Of
these surround the plaza.
Messrs. Finley and Searles
decided to walk Q legal
tightrope.
Under the Housing Act Of
1949. o minimum Of 20 per
cent Of existing structures
in the area had to be sub
standard. plus certain other
''blighting influences" to
make Columbia Plaza eligible
for Federal intervention.
A survey turned up 80 per
cent Of the buildings in the
substandard category. A list
Of five blighting influences
was catalogued.
Armed with this informa-
ton. and a dramatic an
nouncement by Mr.. Salkeld
at the psychological moment
that he had acquired 80 per
cent Of Columbia Plaza's
site. the Federal officials
asked the Board of Commits
sioners to OK the project
for urban renewal. The re-
quest was granted following
a hearing.
Without this maneuver
Columbia Plaza would still be
just a dream. The move also
made it much simpler to get
streets and alleyways-which
comprised the largest acreage
Of the tract-condemned.
A FinoncioI Success
From the urban planners
viewpoint Columbia Plaza Is
a model development. Mr..
Finley readily admits his
staff and that Of Mr.. Searles
and the District agencies in
volved have learned many
valuable lessons. Most i'm
portant 1t will be successful
financially.
Approximately $700, 900 was
advanced by the Federal Gov
ernment. OF this amount thu
District contributed about
one third. However. by the
time the syndicate hands over
its property to the District
Redevelopment Land Agency
and re-purchases the entire
site most of that sum will be
recovered.
= District Fares Well
The District will fare well.
Sale Of the old Toner School,
built in 1892 and used since
1948 by the Washington So
ciety for the Blind, will prob
ably take care of the amount
it has expended so far.
In addition, the District
will realize q tax return for
many years to come on prop
erty that returns very little in
comparison to the new rates
when set. 1t will also re-
ceive tax funds on approx
mately six acres of space that
once were alleys and streets,
a former liability.
Among the members of the
syndicate committed to spend
$25 million to build Columbia
Plaza are Mr.. Salkeld, Mr..
McShain, William Shannon,
Frank j. Luchs, Cecil Kauf-
mann, president Of Kay jew
,elry Co., and Attorneys James
Kunen and Guy Martin.

Brdin Is Damaged.
PSychiufYiSfS Soy

Camden, N. J. (ANP) - The
brain Of Johnny Saxton, former
welterweight boxing champion, Is
about one-quarter damaged and his
mentality is that Of a 10-12-year-
old child, according to psychiat-
rists who examined him recently
for the State of New Jersey.
The disclosure was made at a
hearing last week at which Saxton
waived extradition to New York
City where he is charged with a
variety store burglary. The burg
larry, police said, Melted him Just
$500, a fur cape and a package of
cigarettes. ...
During his boxing career, Sax
ton repeatedly earned more than
$3.50, 900.
Saxton was committed to the
New Jersey State Hospital at An
cora last year after attempting
suicide in a jail cell at Atlantic
City. At the time he was being
held on a charge Of burglary at
the resort town.
Two weeks ago the psychiatrists
adjudged him sane and able to
stand trial.
With his ring fortune gone, Sax
ton Is in the same position as
Henry Armstrong, the former
triple crowned featherweight,
lightweight and welterweight
champion, and Beau Jack, former
lightweight titlist.
Armstrong has turned to the
ministry. He is attached to a
church in Los Angeles. Jack has
gone back to shining shoes at the
Augusta Golf Club, where he work
ed before he entered the ring.

For more than a century the
State of Minnesota has remained
unique among constitutional gov
eminent in that it doesn't have
one constitutional has two.
Both constitutions are substan-
tally alike, are legal, and are
still preserved
But in a nation where racial
disturbance Is at an all-time high
and almost automatically assoc-
ated with the South, Minnesota
doesn't seem too unique. For In
stance, residents Of Minnesota's
largest city, Minneapolis are guilty
Of discrimination against the Ne
gro race as were our state legis-
lators in 1857.
Since the adoption Of the state
constitutions in 1857, the word
TWO has taken on additional
meanings for most Minnesotana
Both parties at the historical
convention - Democrats and Re-
publicans - failed to agree on var.
ious committee proposals for the
states future charter. However,
the parties after heated, bitter de-
bates adopted separate constitu-
tons on Oct. Is, 1887. The Pioneer
and Democrat Newspaper - a
forerunner of the st. Paul Pioneer
Newspaper, reported on Aug. "a,
1857 that the "Nigger Suffrage
was the rock the committees split
upon"
Unfortunately, the inequality for
the Negro race that many Of the
Founding Fathers Of Minnesota's
constitutions so openly displayed
has found a stage Of bigotry' a
century later. Two incidents re-
ported in the May 18th issue Of the
Minneapolis Spokesman substanti-
ate the above.
When Negro persons are charg-
ed 81 for drinks in a night club
that can be bought for As cents by
white persons = double-standard
society is being perpetuated- Such
practices cannot be separated NOR
ally from the restrictions imposed
on the Negroes ''right-to-vote" in
1857, although one hundred and
three vars separate the two situ-
atoms.
Another incident Of racial In
equality was Illustrated on "sen-
iors Day" at Richfield high school.
Several white seniors disguised
themselves a. black men on q
"chain gang" A picture of this
moral atrocity was published in
the Minneapolis Star
Both of these situations exemph-

due to the fact that people in the lower
socio economic classes "have less
time, are subject to greater fatigue
from harder physical exertion at work,
have fewer available means for enter
tanning, and may lack facilities for
receiving guests in the home"
Q. False. The popular impression fos-
tered by mystery stories and movies that
most murderers are scheming, crafty
Flu Manchu types has no basis in fact.
Studies made by professional GRIM
inologists show that the 10. of most
murderers ranks far below the average;
and that they are, on the whole, less
intelligent than any other type of Grim
inal. One researcher, for example,
discovered that only one murderer out
of four possessed as much brain power
as the average citizen does.
After a careful study of 200 typical
murderers, Pomona College psycholo-
gists concluded from their findings that
the reason most homicides are COM
mitted is that the individual lacks the
intelligence to deal with an intimidat-
ing problem or situation - except by
direct and primitively violent means.
