in New York. Oyama has some
1000 karate students in Tokyo.
Oyama's brand of karate is
known as Karate Do Kyoku-
shinkai, but you'd have to be
well up on the karate ladder
to understand how it differs
from other styles.
Oyama supervised the elimi-
nation matches at the Imperial
Dojo and addressed representa-
tives of many American karate
clubs, urging them to set up
uniform programs of training
and competition. Oyama said
'sportsmanship is the most i'm
portant thing in karate. There
is no room for anyone who
WOulQ use KaraJe as q weapon

With a blow of the hand
Oyama has cracked a 22-pound
rock in half, shattered a stack
of roof tiles, split thick wooden
planks and killed a bull.

TOURNAMENT COMING UP
LethoI Art of Korote
Joins Sports Scene

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (NANA)
Strange sounds and blood
curdling screams have been is
suing from the Imperial Dojo
on New York's 14th street the
last few days. The noise was
all part of the elimination
tournament for the first North
American karate champion
ships at Madison Square Gar
den Saturday. The Imperial
Dojo, although outwardly re-
sembling q modern Japanese
restaurant, is a club and school
devoted to karate, kodoka n
judo and jujitsu.
More than 80 clubs from Ha-
wall. California and other re-
mote States have sent contest
ants to compete in the. karate
championships here. In addi-
tion the United States Army,
Air Force and Marines have en-
tered men in the competition.
"Karate" is a Japanese word
which translated literally
means empty hands" and de-
scribes an ancient and lethal
defensive art. Some say karate
was conceived in India and fl
nally moved eastward to Oki-
nawa. Certainly it is agreed
that the Okinawans perfected
karate hundreds Of years ago
when their island was ruled by
the Japanese.
Effective Defensive Form
Okinawans were not allowed
to carry weapons then and so
they developed karate as a
frighteningly effective form of
defense.
Karate is now being taught
throughout the United States
as q sport but its original pur-
pose was to kill an opponent
as swiftly and efficiently as
possible.
In its purest form karate diff
fers from jujitSu and judo by
not including the arm bending
grips and dexterous flips or
throws which temporarily in
capacitate an opponent. Many
damaging "judo" chops have
been adapted from karate.
Judo, jujitSu and karate are
practiced in various forms
throughout the world. Quite
recently judo as a sport was
admitted to the Amateur Ath-
letic Union and has been ac-
cepted for play in the next
Olympic Games.

Riverview, and The
Conscience Of St. Paul

Welcome, if belated, recognition is given by the
st. Paul Pioneer Press of the appalling conditions
attendant upon the Rivervew redevelopment and
the wholesale displacement Of families there This
cruel, irresponsible and insensitve assault by the
community upon neighborhood of largely defense
less people has been the subject of numerous editor
ials in this newspaper which we hope may have had
some effect in awakening conscences among SEEM
ingly constituencies officials.
Now, at long last, The Pioneer Press Of June 10
has published an article by Gareth Hebert on the
displacement of the Rivervew families which makes
startling revelations.
For example:
The 300 people who have already been moved
out have gone in many cases to much worse living
conditions - doubling up with relatives, buying or
renting housing beyond their means.
Despite last springs assurance by Frank
Marziteli, executive vice president of the Port
Authority that nobody is being put out the street.
the Authority has gone right ahead shutting off
water of families not ready to move.
Awards for homes appropriated by the Auth
ority are in some cases less than the actual in
vestment. For example &c. 200 for a home which a
family had bought for $4,000 and fixed up. (Of
course, there is nothing veable now on the market
at this price,.
The rental property which an ant-pubic-
housing group last winter said is abundantly avail
able is either beyond the financial reach of the
Rivervew families practically unfit to live in.
Earlier this year, this newspaper proposed that
all further activity in the Rivervew be halted
until the number problem of re-housing is solved
This has been distorted, in the HILBERT article,
to mean suspending demolition operations on build
ings already vacated This is pretty ridiculous but
it helps to show how much confusion there is in the
whole picture. And don't blame the powers that
be for wanting to pin the idea Of suspending demo
tons a scapegoat, because the time lag between
the vacating of building and its demolition by the
Port Authority has resulted in filling up the
munity with looters squatters, and all sorts Of
doubtful characters. Thus the victims Of the rede-
velopment are treated to final farewell in
dignity
Hiebert treats this aspect of the matter with
delicate touches of irony 1--WE asked the police to
make some arrests in these cases." he quotes Mar
ziteli. And THE Neighborhood House staff dis
cussed the problem with Chief of Police Lester
McAuliffe, and now policeman walks the beat"
There are some indications that community
spirit is aroused to the point of doing somewhat
than this, perhaps to the point Of really tack
ling the housing problem for these people and others
in their economic circumstances. The decision to
clear Riverview without prior provision for rehous
ing was social scandal of appalling proportions
1t is badge of shame that all Of st. Paul will have
to wear for more If it serves to wa1en con-
sciences and stir action for the future, the expert
may have been a fruitful one.

A WCCO Public Service

WCCo has been demonstrating in a series of
well-planned and remarkably lucid programs what
we meant when commented editorially a few
weeks ago on the Importance Of full opportunity for
those whose opinions we hate, to expound their
views.
Recognizing the need for a better understanding
of the Communist complex of ideas prejudices prop
uganda lines, and conspiratorial activities, WCCo
has been dssectng them with the aid Of experts and
specialists and with special attention to the Benja-
min Davis appearance at the University recently.
Many good and well motivated people thought
it wrong to give Davis a chance to speak at the
University. There Is talk Of legislation to bar
appearances of this kind in the future but Of course
such legislation could not be passed
In any case these good people mistaken.
We hope that they have listened to the WCCO pro-
grams, because If they have they will recognize at
once the great value of full free, open discussion.
Minnesotans who have listened have an infinite
y better understanding of the full meaning, the
threat and the possible consequences Of the Com
munist conspiracy than they could have had If
Benjamin Davis, the national Communist leader had
not been allowed to speak here.

The Head Tax And The
Liberals

AS the state election campaign progresses, we
have kept tuned in on the leading speech-makers
In hopes Of hearing some comment the head tax
which the last legislature reinstated after few
years without it. So far all have heard is silence
on the subject.
The head" tax is $40 levy upon everybody who
files state income tax return 1t is collected
whether the person filing had any taxable income or
not 1t is therefore about unjust regressive and
vicious tax can be found.
By collecting it with the income tax, the state
DISCUSSES its nature and its impact; and when tax
experts survey the various state taxation structures
throughout the country Minnesota gets credit for
having progressive income tax, and no dement's
for having a tax which falls most heavily upon
those with the lowest incomes.
This tax originated here during the Youngdahl
administration, when the conservative house and
senate put it At that time William E. Carl
son. now Ramsey County commissioner, was a
member of the state house of representatives, and
led the fight against it. Later as a candidate for
governor he made an issue Of it throughout the
state, and laid the groundwork for its repeal by
pinning the head tax" label upon it.
And now it is back in worse form than before.
Moreover, it must have had Liberal support or at
the very least, acquiescence, because the Liberals
controlled the house when it was passed.
Could it be that this is why the silence on the
subject has been so crashing? Can it be that the
Liberals have swallowed the Conservative line on
taxation to the extent of accepting this backward
and unfair tax?
We are asking these questions because we do
not know. We will begin to suspect that something
Is ass if the Liberals continue to ignore this issue
during the campaign Such event would be a
symptom of something very, very wrong in the
Liberal ranks, and signal to the rank and flers to

Focus On
Africa
BY EDDIE L. MADISON, JR.

UNDER THE terms of the
state of public emergency de-
clared in Nigeria by the Fed
eral Government, the move
ments of at least 81 persons,
including leading personalities
involved in the recent Action
Group (opposition) party clash,
have been restricted.
Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Fed
eral president of Action Group and
leader of the Opposition in the
Federal Parliament, is restricted
to within three miles of the police
station at Ikenno. 1t was Awol-
owo's dismissal of Chief Samuel L.
Akintola as deputy leader of the
party and the subsequent firing
of Alintola as premier of the
Western Region that led to politi-
cal chaos in that area.
Akintola, too, has been limited to
a similar area within Ogbomosho.
Fani-Kayode, the leader Of the
opposition in the Western House
of Assembly, and Alhaji D. s.
Adegbenro, who succeeded Akin
tola as premier, are similarly re-
stricted.
WITHIN SIX HOURS Of taking
over his appointment as admins
traitor Of the Western Region, DR..
M. A. Majekodunmi, Minister of
Health in the Federal Government,
signed the restriction orders af-
fecting many Of the persons in
volved in the Action Group politi-
cal dispute, which repeatedly stem
med from heated rivalry between
Awolowo and Axintola.
Chief Majekodunmi has appoint
ed IL commissioners to man the
ministries of the region. The Ac-
ton Group, while it holds the
Opposition position in the Federal
Government, controlled the wes-
tern Region government. However,
all ministers and other officials,
including Sir Adesoji Aderemi, the
Governor Of the Region, were, in
effect, suspended under terms Of
the sweeping emergency order.
MEANWHILE, AKINTOhA, the
deposed Western Region premier,
has issued a statement declaring
that the Action Group is dead"
He said that out Of the Action
Group ashes will arise hope for the
peoples of Western Nigeria and
the country as a whole. Akintola
said his supporters are considering
whether to form another party.
Issuing a rival statement to that
of his former No. 1 lieutenant,
Awolowo claimed that the Action
Group would emerge from its pres
emit position stronger than ever.
