Some Causes For
Fridays Disgraceful
Riots I'm St. Paul

The riot proportoned disorders by teen-agers
and young adults Friday night November 8, in our
city of st. Paul danger signals of what the Twin
City communities could face in the coming months
and years From reports available the St Paul police
department used good judgement and tremendous
restraint in coping with the abuse heaped upon
their collective heads by some young people who
had obviously inbibed too much alcohol. This was
the fifth occurrence in recent weeks when gangs
of youths defied the law in st. Paul.
1t is almost inconceivabGe that any group Of
people young or old in Minnesota, where law en-
forcement is not repressive but tolerant would
fuse to disperse, when ordered to do so by police
attempting to restore order and prevent mob viol-
ence in the streets. We understand peaceful
non-voent resistance to police orders in the areas
of the nation where police power is used to suppress
the right of free assembly and petition against
Constitutional state laws, such the Jmcro segre-
cation ordinances and state statutes.
However this was not the I'm st. Paul
Friday night when cursing fighting youngsters
who were ordered to leave party because Of
crowding, fighting and other disorder, defied the
police who called by the citizen at whose
home the party was being held.
Causes for the near riot be attributed to
several reasons-the most familiar of which are the
discrimination against the Negro family which has
deprivation and countless other environmental ills
This has long been our plausible, realistic but
often too handy excuse to explain away behaviour
among our Negro population, but there other
reasons for which the community and its respOn-
sible citizens must bear some responsibility.
One Of the reasons for the st. Paul riots
the wide failure Of parents to combat the crashing
of parties by unlimited young Such young hooligans
have often made sf1ambles Of parties to which
they were not expected There was no organized
campaign against this kind of conduct In either ST.
Paul or Minneapolis.
Another reason is that the residential segre-
cation I'm St. Paul piles most Negro families,
irrespective Of socio-economic background cul-
tural patterns into jam-pacIed area, often re-
ducing the community standards established by
years Of hard work, to the level Of an inciplent
Jungle which plaques so many racial ghettoes
or neighborhoods from coast to coast
Another cause N that adult standards Of con-
duct a. dernonStrated by continued operation almost
without community challenge Of iaeghl joints with
scanning appreciation or ut least tolerance Of law en-

Need National Results
To be sure there have been scat

that have benefited thousands, but
what leaders of such organizations
as the NAACP, CORE, SCLC,
SNICK and the Urban League are

the national significance.
President Kennedy probably has

Begged Down
Instead the campaign appears to
have been begged down by wide

expedience in Congress.

Some quotes from the critics
included:
The show has been blessedly
cast. Rosetta LIE Noire and Hilda
Simms are splendid performers
both. Louis Gosset plays the no
good, and once again we are In
luck"
"As gospel singing, it's soul
stirring. When they sing, the
drama finds its strength and its
mood - joy. When Tambourines'
turns to music it's hard to keep
from jumping up and down like
the exuberant people on stage.
Micld Grant sings with an inspir-
ing youthful ardor. There's an
abiding reverence in the singing
of Rosetta LIE Noire."
"A thorough delight when music
holds the stage - at its jubilant
best when the rafters ring with
song"
Worth a trip to 'Tambourines'
just to hear them sing. Romping
around the stage is a fabulous col
lection of talented people"
"a wonderfully touching, highly
entertaining evening in the theatre
tits gospel singing has the beat
and fervor Of hallelujah time.
When the Little Theatre becomes
the Tambourine Temple and the
company beautifically pounds out
I'm Going to Testify a theatre
goer feels like joining in the re-
joicing ;. music that is haunting
ly blue and bouncingly joyous"
"A show to cheer. A swinging
treat, brimming with song. A rous-
ing spirited addition to the sea-
SON."
"Abounds and frohcs in rich
wonderful music, plus singing that
is fun and exciting. A musical
feast"
Robert Ghllaume Is a tremend-
GUS singer. MicId Grant Is an act
ing and singing doll. Clara Ward
sets the show to rocking. The songs
