FOCUS CHALLENGES
CIVIL RIGHTS

Some of the readers of the ARI-
IONA SUN may remember a few
years ago before the present hys-
terra of Dear Harry Everingham,
and his and Billy 'Hargis' organiza-
tion. WE THE PEOPLE, and be-
fore the j. Birchers became so
vocal and the Valley had become
the VALLEY OF FEAR. A man
named Aldrich Blake, who must
have sensed the beginning of the
acceptance of these other HATE
and FEAR propaganda groups,
decided to move in and make Phoe-
nix the new headquarters of his or
ganization called FOCUS (Freedom
Of Choice, United States).
Fortunately two alert liberals,
Atty'S William P. Mahoney and
Dix Price, discovered somehow
what Blake's intentions were and
began a campaign of opposition
which, at that stage of the valleys
deterioration, was able to so dis
courage organizer Blake that, ne
filed" back to Lagunaa, Beach,
California, with his propaganda.
The years and California'S eli
mate of acceptance of his hate
ideas, have evidently dealt well
enough with him that his racket
is still going. His idea of FREE
DOM OF CHOICE now is to en-
battle the haterS, and potential
haters, against such happenings
as the U. S. Supreme Courts 1854
decision that removed any freedom
of choice about school desegrega-
tion. Blake's efforts are devoted
to such things as States Rights
by which the states Of the south,
which refuse the Negro the vote,
can vote against school integra-
ton, discrimination in transporta-
ton, discrimination in public parks
and in public buildings, and against
compliance with the Presidents
executive order against discrimina-
tion in employment by industries
holding federal contracts.
This is the same idea behind
FOR AMERICAS objection to laws
or ordinances out-lawing discrimi-
nation against Negroes in public
accommodations and their prefer
ence for the weakness and uncer-
tainty of the voluntary approach.
Most of the people to whom
Blake appeals are either hard-core
southerners, migrants from the
south who have brought their deep
set prejudices with them, or just
conservatives who are converts to
the bogey of BIG GOVERNMENT
COMMUNIST INSPIRED.
This latest effort of FOCUS is
to CHALLENGE the Civil Fighters
to bring this whole matter of civil
rights to vote by all the states
and accept the verdict of the. peo-
pie. Aldrich Blake, Executive Sec
retary of FOCUS, is doing this

Probe Of Air Base School Bias Urged

The full text of Mr.. Mitchell
wire to Congressman Powell fol
ows:
Urged that your committee
investigate extensive discrimi-
nation against children of MEM
berS of the Armed Services at
the Air Force Base in Bly,
theville, Arkansas. White chill
dren attend modern school con-
structed with government aid.
Colored children forced to at
end segregated and inferior
school. Have presented this
problem to department of de-
fenSe but it insists that no cor
rective action can be taken.
Justice Department has also
ignored this exclusion of color
ed children of military per-
sonnel in many areas of the
south. Bringing these facts to
light may help to secure just
ice in this unconsci0nable in
stance of discrimination based
on race.

clusion of Negro children from a
gederaIly4aided school near the
Blytheville Air Force Base in Ark

elimination against children Of
members of the armed services

Mr.. Mitchell acted in response
to request from L. C. Bates,
NAACP field secretary in Arkan-
sas, who reported that school au-
thoritieS continued to assign Ne
gro children to a remote all-Negro
school despite NAACP protests to
the Departments of Justice and

TEAMS STUDY
HARLEM HOUSING

New York = The deplorable con-
dition of some Harlem housing
was documented here this week by
NAACP youth survey teams.
The student investigators talked
at length with 148 Negro families
residing in 17-building blockfront
in the central Harlem area. They
spent a full day, Jan. 27. at this
task.
The survey was jointly sponsor
ed by the Associations youth di-
vision and housing and program
departments.
Defective plumbing, exposed
electrical wires, laths showing
through plaster, inadequate heat,
poor water pressure and unsuitable
fire excapes were commonplace.
Garbage disposal, as such, was
non existent. Many carried their
own garbage down, still others keep
huge outdoor garbage cans in
their apartments. Seldom was
an orderly system of disposal in
operation. AS a result, rats, reaches
and other vermin thrive.
Community living was found in
most of the larger apartment
houses.
Under this exploitative system,
apartments are rented from the
landlord by individual leases.
In most cases. this individual
pays anywhere from $50 to 5000
per month. He then rents each
room on a weekly basis, averag
ing $140O.
A typical eight-room community
apartment brings SLIP weekly or
SAB. 90 monthly. Thus yielding a
profit of $248 to $298 month, to-
the individual leasee.
Dennis Gardner, chairman of
the project, said the students plan,
if necessary, to assign members
of their group to attend housing
court sessions as observers.
1--WE are tired of the prerogative
enjoyed by most SlumlordS of pay
ing fines in lieu of rectifying VIOLA
tiOnS.
."'UnIess there is a noticeable
step-up in housing code enforce
ment, we plan to picket housing
court in jail not bail demonstra-
tions," young Gardner said.
The students wired New York
Governor Rockefeller pointing out
that many Negro families "are
living in uninhabitable buildings
at jeopardy to health and safety
They also asked that the Govern
or "join us in an active campaign
for effective receivership legisla-
tion.' Such a bill would give cities
the authority to take over rundown
buildings and repair them, if their
owners refused to do so.
A similar wire was sent to New
York City Mayor Robert F. Wag-
ner.
The NAACP students said in a
statement issued during the survey
that their findings will be turned

age of eight, Maxine was already
singing on church programs and
community teas and other affairs.
Part of a small family, one sister,
and one brother deceased, Maxine
left their hometown Kingstree,
S. C. and came to New York with
relatives. Her father, Ben Brown

But the old desire to sing came
through and she joined the well
known Prof Charles Taylor Gospel
singers Of Brooklyn, N. Y. the
group consisted of five mixed
voices. She left this group and
joined the Manhattans. a we'll
known Rock & Roll group and
stayed at this for two years and
then stopped singing to accept a
civil service job at Kings County
hospital, New York, as a medical
Stenographer. But, still continued
working on her singing, studying
with Mabel Hoarsey, a noted New
York Voice teacher Then one night
in August of 1860 she was called
on by a friend to do a guest nurn-
ber at the Bon vi Want Night Club.
I'm the audience was Nal Williams
"a Well+known personal manager
of entertainers. When she stepped
down Mr.. Williams stepped up
with an offer to become a solo
singer. She didn't think she was
ready, but "he really had to con-
vince me that / had it, she said.
She whipped together an original
number, Williams recorded her
voice on the tune and it went out

starlings Blamed For Crash Of Eastern Air Lines Plane Which Claimed @ Lives

 It was no surprise that birds starlings-caused the crash of the Eastern Air Lines prophet Electra that blurred into Boston harbor on Oct 4, 1860. Officials had said as much months earlier.
 The freak crash occurred as the plane was taking off from Logan International Airport, on flight 10 Atlanta. Aboard were 67 pas seneers and crew of five. Eight passengers and two crew mem bers survived.
 As the Electra taxied to begin it's takeoff, it's high-pitched en- zines frightened a flock of star lings baskin2 in the twilight be- side the runway. The birds took to the air directly in front of the plane. A few were pulled into three of the planes four engines.
