Borboric Atrocities
Against AIgerians
Almost IGNORED

Chicago (ANP) - When intern
al conflict in the Belgian Congo
was at its peak, newspapers were
quick to stress that "savagery,
brutality" and lack Of apprecia-
ton for human life" as indications
of the Africans readiness to as
sumo control over his own affairs.
But little has been said of the
brutality" "savagery" and lack
of appreciation for human life"
exhibited by the French members
of the secret army that opposes
political independence for Africans
in Algeria.
Commenting on one of the most
inhumane acts of the long bloody
effort to change the course of his
tory in Algeria, the Chicago Sum-
Times had the following to say
editorially:
IF a wild gang of Congolese
rebels were to invade a hospital,
machine-gun bedridden patients
and then bomb the building, there
would be an cutlery in all the civ
ilized world against the savagery
and the inability of the govern
ment to maintain order. It was be-
cause of such inability that United
Nations troops first were sent into
the Congo.

Washington (ANP)-Announce-
ment by the space agency that ii
plans to expand the number of
astronauts in Project Mercury
paves the way for qualified Negro
pilots to enter the nations space
program.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration said last
week that 5 to 10 additional as
tronauts would be selected next
fall to join the seven Mercury
pilots in training for future flight
programs.
The NASA said a third group of
astronauts would be recruited

Chicago Endefs
Low Bonning Bios
On Hospital Sfoffs

Chicago (ANP) = An ordinance
which prohibits Chicago hospitals
from practicing racial discrimina-
ton in appointments to medical
staffs was enacted last week by
the city council.
The ordinance was approved
three weeks ago by the councils
health committee of which Aid.
William Harvey is chairman, and
Aldermen Robert Miller, Ralph
Metcalfe and Benjamin Lewis are
members. The four are Negroes.
Introduced to the council in Sep
TENDER, 1860, by Aid. Leon M.
Despres of the fifth ward, the mat
ter was held up pending action by
the Chicago Commission on HUI
man Relations.
A legal ban on hospital discrim-
nation was brought up after a
group of Negro doctors filed suit
charging a large number of hos
pitfalls with practicing discrimina-
ton by keeping Negro doctors off
their stats.
Under the new law a hospital
can be fined up to 5000 a day for
each day that it discriminates
against any person in appointment
to or employment on its medical
staff because of race, creed, color
or national origin.
The new ordinance is a compan-
ion piece to an earlier bill, which
went into effect in 1856, outlawing
discrimination in accepting patti
ents at hospitals.
Prior to the unanimous approval
of the proposal by the Council
Committee on Health last March,
Edward Marciniak, executive dir
ector of the Chicago Commission
on Human Relations, presented a
report showing that % of the So
private hospitals in the city hire
Negro staff members.
Thirty-five Negro doctors were
staff members at those hospitals,
Marciniak said.
The ordinance received wide
support among most civic and
human-rights groups.
During testimony before the
health committee, it was charged
that Negroes do not go to many
Chicago hospitals because Negro
physicians will not refer patients
to institutions where they cannot
practice.
No one testified against the
ordinance. Several physicians and
lawyers were among those speak
/ ing in favor of it.
DR.. N. o. Galloway, former pres
ident of the Chicago Urban league,
told the committee there also is
discrimination in Chicago area
medical schools in accepting stu
dents.

he hoped to aid in the investigation
of the riot.
-Four In Critical Condition
Wounded by gunfire were one
official and six members of the
Muslims - four of the latter were
reported in critical condition. A
crowd of about 200 watched the
battle which involved upward to
100 Muslin and policemen.
Dead was Robert Stokes, %, Los
Angeles, identified by 1t. Ronald
Williamson as one of the black
suited Muslims.
The battle was touched off early
Saturday during an apparently
minor incident when two officers,
Frank C. Tomlinson and Stanley
Kensic, attempted to question two
men peddling clothes from a car.
Two Run From Police
Police said one peddler shouted:
1--WE didn't do anything. You're
only doing this to us because we're
Muslims."
Denying that they were guilty,
the two broke away and ran to-
wards the Muslin Temple, pursued
by the officers. According to the
officers story, Kensic grabbed one
of the men, and during a brief
struggle, had his gun snatched
from it's holster.
A special officer appeared on the
scene and demanded that the two
leave the officer alone. He fired
one shot in the air to emphasize
his command. The men knocked
Tomlinson to the ground and kick
ed and pummeled him. Tomlinson
was shot as he tried to get up.
Two More Officers Arrive
Two other officers, Richard T.
Anderson, and Donald L. Weese,
arrived in time to see four men
running toward the temple. Ander-
son caught one man as he ran up
the temple steps and pulled him
back.
The excitement brought crowd
pouring out of the temple, and
Anderson was hit on the head with
a five-gallon water bottle. He
claimed he was then attacked by
a dozen Muslims. Weese drew his
service revolver and fired at the
men, wounding several.
A general riot call was sent over
the police radio and rs officers
converged on the scene. When the
battle was over, seven Muslims and
five officers were removed by am
bulance to Central Receiving hos
pital.
Wounded Muslims
The wounded Muslims, all of
whom were booked later on sus-
picion of attempted murder, were:
Robert Louis Rodgers, 81, shot in
the stomach; William Rodgers, rs,
Roberts brother, shot in the left
shoulder; Arthur Coleman, Jr., 26,
shot in the head; Clarence Jingles,
81, shot in the left hip; Roosevelt
Walker, 27, shot in the groin, and
Monroe Jones, 81, shot in the left
shoulder.
Police said at least 20 adult Ne
groes, most described as black
suited Muslims with brush-cropped
haircuts, were arrested on charges
of suspicion of assault to commit

with the family and decorate the
graves of their loved ones. AS you
walk around in the cemetery, you
recall this one and that one who
has left this world before.
After you have seen a few re-
minders of former years, you begin
to talk of them. A brother will
call, Just come here and look!
Good old John. 1t can't be possible
he has been dead all Of these years,
but here is the date" Then you
recall many happy times you have
spent with John, and the thought
of him brings memories Of several
other friends. You do not feel sad
at all but happy remembering your
friends and relatives as you walk
back to your car.
Most of your friends graves have
been decorated but once in awhile
you will notice an empty urn. BY
the time you reach your car you
feel as though you have been home
a long time, because you have re-
called so many of the old familiar
names of close relatives and friends.
Now your one idea is to go call
on many of the ones who otherwise
would not know you were home!
New found friends are wonder
full, but there is nothing like step
ping into the home of an old tried
and true friend. While you have
been out looking up the old timers
who were not able to get out, you
learn that many of your friends
have been calling the house trying
to get to see you and the family.
Finally you get home and find
friends all over the yard waiting
to see you. You talk and talk and
there is so much happiness found
in being with the friends of your
youth, that time passes.
Finally there are a few left who
join you for dinner. Before you gel
UP from the table others have
started coming in and the hum OF
voices, talking and laughing starts
again.
Family get togethers at this
time are happy time. Being there
with those who are still living
gives you a common bond.
All day you have talked about
times when you were younger
This talk goes on far, far into the
night. There are % of you under
one roof and naturally, some OF
you find you are not sleepy, and
you go out on the porch and talk
until the early hours Of the morn
ing.
BY six o'clock the family begins
getting up and so the new day
begins. After breakfast the family
makes a trip to the cemetery, and
the friends you see there are many
In a small town whole families &c
to the cemetery and they walk
around visiting with friends who
are there. You see relatives who
have come from the west and the
east coasts and from the deer
south and from as far away as
Canada.
Your holiday weekend is COM
plete with the trip to the church
where your parents took you when
you were a child. Quite a few OF
the friends have left for theil
homes, but you enjoy staying ovel
for a few extra hours.

"Of course, have to have two different
suits. And the thing that fascinates me is
that Bob Fletcher, the costume designer, told
me that the distress suit cost a hundred
dollars more than the good suit, because,
after they made it, they had to spend SO much
time ripping it apart and scanning up the tat
tiers; they had to have experts burn it Just

and RCA-Victor never in
tended to bring 1t out as a
single.
Victor released an album
of songs from Elvis' movie,
Blue Hawaii" and Cant
Help Falling in Love" was
among them. The public took
a fancy to the song, and
Keely Smith and a couple Of
other singers brought out
their own records of it.
Only then did Victor issue
the Presley version as a single.
When Elvis records for a
movie, he uses his regular
instrumental setup. This time,
the recording was done on a
Paramount sound stage in
Hollywood last spring and
Elvis' regular group-bass,
drums, piano, two electric
guitars was brought out
from Nashville, along with
the Jordanaires vocal quartet.
The movie people used to
dub a lot of string sound or

Mr.. Sholes feels that he
gets very nearly the same
sound through this process as
he does when he superviSes
Elvis' recordings in Victor'S
own studios.
Except for the recording of
the songs, Blue Hawaii" was
produced largely in Hawaii.
And the Presley album has
sold more copies there than
any other Victor record be-
fore.
Mr.. Sholes doesn't think
there is anything odd about
a rock-and-roll singer doing
Hawaiian songs. THE two
kinds of music use similar in
Struments and similar vocal
techniques like yodeling. and
they have a kind of similarity
of feeling" he says.
Victor had a couple of

last November when they
were forced to bring out

A Plea for Prayer

One of the best songs to
come out in a long time is
Jimmy Deans recording of
Dear Ivan" After hearing
it, I got to thinking that it
would really be a wonderful
idea If we would all do just
what the record says.
Pease, kids, let's all say a
prayer for the Russian peo-
pie tonight. The world is in
desperate straits and the only
way to lasting peace is for
Americans to return to God.
I'm sure a lot of kids are
going to either think this plea
is grubby and square or that
I'm a nut, but can't you see
what a strong force this
would be if everybody would
pray? In these troubled times,
God and prayer are our only
answers.
