Eighth Precinct
GRANT LEE

The denial Of equal economic
opportunity to the Negro is one
Of the deep-seated causes Of
crime in Washington, a Com
missioners' Crime Council
meeting in the Eighth Police
Precinct was told last night.
The speaker, Aaron Gold.
man, chairman Of the Commits
Sioners' Council on Human Re-
lations, told the meeting
Crime may be considered a
neighborhood problem, but II
touches all Of U.S."
He said many turn to crime
in Illustration after they are
denied opportunity to make a
decent living because of color.
He told the audience of about
rs that although they live in
a community with a low crime
rate, it Is their duty to help
less fortunate districts of the
city.
The precinct borders on
Montgomery County in the
northwest section of Washing
ton and extends along Rock
Greek south to Massachusetts
avenue, Foxhall road, Lough-
boro road and Macarthur boule-
ward NV. 1t is q high-income
section with a large proportion
Of expensive homes. Business
activity is limited to a few
main arteries. The Eighth is
primarily inhabited by white
families. s. ,t
Relatively Quiet
Police Inspector Otto P. Fuss
said the precinct Is a rela-
lively quiet one, with those
committing crimes coming in
from other areas Of the city.
The main crime there, he
said, is HOUSEKEEPING, and he
urged citizens to keep your
doors locked when out"
The second category of
crime is petty larceny, which
includes stealing items from
unlocked cars, and shoplifting.
DR.. James Suber, principal
of Wilson High School, where
the meeting was held, said the
main problem at the school is
the increased use Of automo-
biles by the student body. They
create traffic hazards, he said.
There have been some fights
after sports events between
Wilson High and other schools,
he noted.
DR.. Suber said he would
like to see Police Boys Clubs in
each precinct Of the city so that
the "boys can get to know the
policemen"
Playground Facilities
Everett Cross, regional di-
rector Of Area A Of the Recre-
alton Department, cited the
Fairgrounds and trained per-
sonnet now in the eighth pre-
cinct and said there are facili-
ties for those desiring them.
John A. Patterson, vice pres
ident of the Chevy Chase Citi-
zens Association, said people
here lack respect for law and
order"
He said parents are too prone
to tell their children that the
police cannot touch them be-
cause they are juveniles.
He urged establishment of a
council within the precinct
made up of representatives
from various groups to con-
centrate on crime prevention.
Commissioner John B. Dun
can was chairman of the meet
ing.

Crime Factors Listed

Benjamin j. Henley, speaking
for the Area L Board Of the
Commissioners Youth Council,
said crime is caused by the lack
of job opportunities, lack Of
suitable housing for large fami-
lies, inadequate recreation ia
cilities, and the lack Of instant
help for people who need emer-
gency food and housing.
Mr.. Henley suggested that the
Government substitute a job
training program, that land
lords open housing to families
with children, and that United
GiverS Fund agencies and
schools open their buildings at
night and on Saturdays for rec
reation and emergency aid. He
also suggested block leaders to
whom people in trouble can
turn to get answers they I'M
derStand."
E. Lewis Farrell, an attorney,
said some way must be found
to change the attitudes Of peo-
pie who commit the crimes. /"
He said "a sense of irreSponsi-
bility must be eradicated from
the minds of these people" He
suggested getting rid Of slum
areas and changing the Dis
trict Welfare Departments con-
troversial man in the house"
ban on relief eligibility so that
families can be kept together.
William Butler, a Police Boys
Club athletic director, cited dis
elimination in employment and
lack of motivation for educa-
ton as two Of the chief causes
of juvenile crime.
Juvenile crime is the bitter
fruit of children growing up in
depressed areas" Mr.. Butler
said. And the end Of the con-
dition is not in sight"

THAT noise is what it takes
to break that concrete. It's
pretty hard stuff. That's 2
inches of macadam and 8

that concrete out, excavate,

First Precinct

Crime prevention should be-
gin in the home, several First
Police Precinct residents told
the Commissioners Crime
Council last night. .
Enes majority Of persons who
spoke at the hearing at Seaton
Elementary School felt that
juvenile delinquency is the ma
jor crime problem in their area.
Capt. John s. Hughes, the
precinct commander however,
emphasized that juveniles ac-
count for less than 10 per
cent" Of the crimes in the
precinct.
1--WE do not feel we have a
problem with juveniles as
SUCH" Capt. Hughes said. He
explained that the majority Of
his precinct jurisdiction in
cludeS the Districts downtown
business, financial and Govern
ment properties. The first pre-
cinct's population declined from
$4,000 in 1850 to 10000 in 1860
and the decline is continuing,
he said.
Grimes against property ac-
count for two-thirds Of all our
activity" he said. Grimes of
violence are in q distinct mi-
nority."
Joe Abu-Taha, manager Of
the Safeway store at 21S K
street NV. for the last seven
years, said businessmen have q
responsibility to help the COM
munity fight crime. This can be
done, he said, by cooperating
with parents and becoming in
terested in the activities Of the
neighborhood children.

Newsom relished, even exploited, such
matters and controversies. He was like
Archie Moore, the fist fighter in this re-
spect. Bobo was self-created character.
He invented himself just as Ring Lardner

Back in 1895, when $4,000 was

from the Browns. He'd Just won 80 games
in the Pacific Coast League in '33 and 16
for the dolorous Browns in "a. He was,
naturally, one Of, If not the greatest, sources
of copy for the diamond recorders of

AMONG BoBoS EARLIER poses was
to establish himself as holdout. A base
ball writer named Bob Considine, who since
has fallen from grace, once paused at
Hartsville en- route to the Senator's train
ing camp at Orlando, where Newsom died
the other day
"You can tell Griff for me that amt
signing and, furthermore, I'm going into
radio. He paused, thoughtfully In Gin
cinnati," he added. If Moscow had been
newsworthy at that time he probably would
have used that Any faraway place.
Considine concluded his interview with
the Great Man on this note and haStened
to Orlando. AS he checked into the hotel
Griffith met the intrepid bearer of sad
tidings at the desk.
"C0t rouyc ralaosa for voY1 Griff
told Considine, nettled a little by the re-
porters dusk-time arrival "Newsom just
phoned and he's signed!"
BOBO-AND, 1T is SUSPECTED,

The following winter another baseball
writer, freely borrowing from ConSidine,
stopped off at Hartsville en- route to Florida
in hopes of picking up an exclusive inter-
view from the Senators No. guy. (Bobo
was holding out, as usual)
Newsom was gracious expansive host.
He lived in big wooden house in need of
paint and offered beer. I'm not signing"
he said flatly. II may give up baseball
I'm college guy and I've got my huntin
dogs :"
There was on the front lawn solitary
but highly nervous hound, more concerned
with fleas than birds. Bobo pointed up the
street and said, See them buildings? That's
MY college"
The gullible newshawk drove away
Later he discovered that the only college
in town-the one that Bobo suggested was
his alma mater-was Coker College For
women, only
These were only a few of the charms
OF Bobo Newsom. He won II games that
year for Washington, possibly wearing a
neckpiece with Cokers colors. He was to
win a good many games with other and
better clubs, and under pressure. The pity
of it is that we don't have Bobo NewSom
in our town today.

I'VE may have many argu-

WIN LOSE OR DRAW

ONE OF THE PRESS BOX historians
who had observed the arrival and departure
of Louis Norman Newsom in the big leagues
once graphically remarked Nobody in
baseball has spent less time with more
clubs" Which was the truth, or close to
it, OF Bobo-his own name for himself
believed in spreading himself around.
Bobo was only shadow of his old self
In his last years, which came to an end
the other day in Florida at age SIS, but in
his prime he had to rank among the most
durable pitchers who ever lived, including
Iron Man Joe McGinnity He talked a
wonderful game but he could pitch 'em,
too, on occasion. Bobo won 211, or 81 more
than Dizzy Dean, who made the Hall of
Fame.
1t was important to Newsom that he
win more than Diz, whom he professed to
regard as an opposite II paler number when
Newsom came up to the old st. Louis
Browns in 1884. Dean already was the
fabulous ace of the Cardinals in the same
enriched community, and they had much
in common.
Both threw blazing fast balls and in
timidated hitters with words as well as
deeds. He's all right" Bobo once con-
descendingly spoke of Diz, "but OF Bobo
will be throwing long after Deans gone"
IN A BASEBALL SENSE, he was, too
Deans arm went bad. Diz was all done
after the 1887 season, really, but Newsom
with his rubber arm and ready quip was
just warming up. In BoboS day there were
only 16 major league teams and he man
aged to pitch for nine Of them, as well as
for at least nine minor league teams
This was as much by personal design
as by desire on the part of various man
ayers to share the wealth and make
Newsom a road show. Bobo was a man Of
ambition, and his greatest aim was to
collect as many different uniforms as
possible.
Sometimes he had-or preferred-to
repeat He wore the Dodgers playsuit three
times, likewise those of the old Browns.
He joined the Washington Senators on five
different occasions. The last time Q952)
1t was almost with hat in hand.
When he was signed in 1852, perhaps
at the age of As or so, he sighed with

tions division of the Methodist
Board of Christian Social Con-

overprotect their children from
honest cultural exchanges. He
said it would create an unreal
situation If they were constantly
screened from young people of
other backgrounds.
