The American people have
not yet been given the full
story Of a racial conflict
which occurred right here in
tne National Capital, worse
In some respects than the
Mississippi tragedy.
A record crowd Of more
than $4,000 persons gathered
on Thanksgiving Day at the
D. c. Stadium to witness a
football game for the city
schoolboy championship be-
tween teams representing, re-
spectively, st. Johns College
High School, Catholic and
preponderantly white institu-
ton and Eastern High
School, a public high school
which is preponderantly col
ored.
When st. Johns won 20 to
2. a mob of approximately
1000 spectators, predomi-
nantly colored, swarmed down
on the field from the East
ern High School stands, and
the fighting began.
Extra details Of police were
on duty at the stadium, but
they were greatly outnum-
bered. Several were them
selves mauled. OF the 40 per-
sons requiring treatment for
injuries. only eight were
Negroes. Three white teen
ayers we're hospitalized for
serious injuries. OF the IA
men and one juvenile ar
rested. only one was white.
The full police report has not
been made public.
Walter N. Tobriner, presi-
dent Of the city's Board Of
Commissioners - which Is
under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Government - was
quoted after the game as
having said:
II don't think we should
have the game. There should
at least be a lapse Of q year
until people learn to be-
have.
Il don't think we can stand
this kind Of thing again. It's
not good for the city, not
good for sports and not good
for the schools"
The next day the Rt. Rev.
John s. Spence, director of
education Of the Archdiocese
of Washington, announced a
moratorium on championship
jplayoffs in football and bas-
ketbal between the two
school systems in the Dis
trict.

tendent of the Districts pub

status here. 1t is believed
that he hopes Mr.. Kennedy
will return the favor when
Mr.. Unruh decides to run for
Governor.
Yet Yale win be wrong in
supposing that Mr.. Unruh is
the California story = no
one politician, however skill
full, could be that. Actually
his manipulative skills are
new to State politics, and a
Illumination on his future is
how far the Californians will
accept them. They did not ac-
cept Mr.. Nixon's.
For example. both he and
the President are seeking
ways to put the lid on the
yeasty California Democratic
Clubs which love to fight
equally about issues and per-
sonalities. They are alien to
the Kennedy temperament,
and Mr.. Unruh is going
along. Actually, he is not
less liberal than the CyDC and
formerly headed one Of its
branches: he just doesn't
want them in his way now.
The CDC is unlikely to
leave quietly. Its former head,
Controller Alan Cranton, al
most unknown four years
ago, led the ticket this year
with nearly q million plura-
lity. That's California.

I cannot get Mai. Rudolph
Anderson jr. out Of my mind.
The thought viii not go
away that a time may come
when 1t will be q tradition
for Americans-and foreign
ers as well-to place wreaths
at the grave Of the U-2 pilot
shot down over Cuba, our one
casualty In the showdown,
our known soldier" repre-
Senting hosts Of others who
did not die, in one Of his
tory's most decisive victories.
It is too soon to be sure.
The balance Of power has
been preserved, but the Gu
ban threat Is not entirely L.
quidated. Russia's long-over-
due setback and her alarm
over the Chinese attack on
India have not yet yielded
evidence of q reorientation
Of Soviet policy and the
herald Of q new world
equilibrium with Russia es-
sentially on the side Of the
West, fulfilling the prophecy
Of Gen. de Gaulle. Should
this miracle come, we would
then think of Cuba as its
point Of origin; John F. Ken
nedy would surely be immor-
talized as one Of our great
est Presidents and Mai. An
derson as the martyr who
died for US all. Let his pres
ent grave be well marked.
That is for the future. For
now, We know that q clear
ing Of the fetid, confused
intellectual air has started in
Europe, in Asia, in Latin
America. What has begun to
begin Is q new sense Of real
ity, an end to innocence, an
understanding at long last
that neutralism, If not ''im-
moral" as John Foster Dulles
claimed, is a worthless stance
for many countries, devoid Of
safety as well as of the
moral power" so long and
so spuriouSly claimed for it.
I omit the new African re-
gimes. They will not soon
abandon their notion that
singly or collectively they
can somehow affect the
course Of world power, be-
cause without this notion
they would commit political
suicide on the international
scene.
I am thinking chiefly Of
India, Brazil and Britain. our
most important friends in

quarters that they plan to
amuse themselves with a Last
Hurrah type, California style.
II this be true, they will not
go far beyond the first laugh.
Mr.. Unruh's native wits
have brought him a long way
from the Arkansas tenant
farm which did not yield his
father the advantage Of
learning to read and write.
His political training took
place on the University Of
California campus at Los An
geles and was possibly more
rugged even than the real
thing in the soon to be the
biggest State.
After his graduation, he
took a major part in the
struggle to sharpen party
lin S so that Democrats
might get the advantage Of
their large registration plu-
ralities. In the Assembly he
helped shape the operations
which gave Gov. Brown the
legislative majorities to put
across his program, a big fac
tor in the recent triumph
over Mr.. Nixon.

A Yale-Harvard game Of an
extraordinary kind is about
to take place in New Haven.
The institution not promi-

chosen Jesse M. Unruh,
Speaker Of the California

Of the Chubb fellows who

Mr.. Unruh Is not from

Maybe next time, II the

Maybe an executive order"

between teams Of opposite
races. Maybe the suspension
of the games viii be con-
strued as a denial of "civil
rights" and of the "consti-
tutional principle" that now
is cited as condemning seq
regation in the use of public
facilities. Maybe the At
torney General and his dep
uties, who lately have been
making speeches blaming
Mississippi lawyers for not
teaching the people that the
law must be respected and
obeyed. will make speeches
now to enlist the services Of
the lawyers of the District
Of Columbia Bar Association,
who supposedly could help to
indoctrinate in the cause Of
law and order all future spec
tators at football games be-
tween schools which are pre-
dominantly white and schools
which are predominantly Ne
gro.
The heads of the respective
organizations of students at
st. Johns College High
School and Eastern High
School have come forth with
q Joint statement for the two
schools condemning the "un-
happy display of temper and
boorish behavior" They also
said they intend to appoint
a fact-finding committee Of
students from both schools
to determine the attitudes
and reactions of the stu
dents.
The District of Columbia
schools are attended predom-.
inantly by Negroes. Most Of
the whites have moved to the
suburbs or go to private
schools. The enrolment in
the public schools Is 80 per
cent Negro today. The whites
were also in the minority in
the stadium on Thanksgiving
Day. So the problem seems to
be how to protect in the fu-
ture the rights of the mi
nority against such out
breaks of violence as the city
witnessed on a day supposed
to be devoted to the giving
of thanks "for all blessings
received" including theoretic-
ally indignation" of schools
in the Nations Capital.

To begin his campaign he
founded q newspaper in 1845

in the use of invective that
soon he stirred slave-owners

Cassius never sought q
fight, but took on all COM
ers. at all weights. He was,
historians agree, perhaps the
most remarkable "lesser fig
ure" in American history.
His story is worth re-telling.
The original Cassius M. Clay
was born In Madison, Ken
lucky, Of Scotch, English and
Welsh ancestry. He was grad
uated from Yale University
in 1882, came home to study
law, and got into State poll
tics via the legislature.
In all his colorful politi-
cal campaigns and at times
of heated controversy, the
earlier CaSsius M. Clay ha-
bitually carried a Bowie knife
and two pistols. In the Mex
ican War, which he had op-
posed, he fought bravely and
won a presentation sword
from admiring townSmen.
As a newspaper editor and
publisher, he sided with the
unpopular abolitionists and
responded to threats by forti-
flying his editorial office with
two four-pounder cannon, a
half-dozen rifles and a keg
of powder with a short fuse!
Cassius was a distant kins-
man of the more famous
Henry Clay, and son of a
wealthy, slave-owning g
planter. Rejecting, however,
his fathers values, he early
became an articulate foe Of
slavery, inspired by the fiery
and eloquent william Lloyd
Garrison, who then was the
hero of students at Yale and
other Eastern colleges. Gar

monies.
The reduction in the General
Obligation Fund was accomplish
ed in spite Of the fact that this
fund includes such items as the
bonds for the Fire Hall, the Sew
age Lagoon, the Swimming Pool,
and the proposed new City Hall.
Mayor Harold Mercer said that
the reduction was due largely to
greater sums returned by every
department, at ldhe close of the
fiscal year.
SURPRISES were noted in the
fire department, police depart
ment, library, and streets and
general funds. Mayor Mercer said
a slignt increase IN assessed vail
uations, helped a little, but this
raise amounted to only 1000 IN
the taxable valuations. Total tax
able valuation is just over ST.
100000.
The SURPRISES, plus the regular
levy, will also take care OF the
current first years costs on the
new city hall, which is expected
to get started this fall.
Mayor Mercer said he was sat
isfied with the prospect OF holding
the line and is proud of this ad-
ministratiOn for the time and
effort put forth so that this could
be accomplished.
Included in the budget this year
are pay raises for certain person
mel ranging from $40 to $50 per
month.
Several departments showed
SLIGHT increases over the past year
with all departments showing a
larger cash carry over than pre-
