the path of ethnic ignorance

meaning a word of it.
Further Complicated
"The picture has been fur
ther complicated by a very
small group of the black bour-
geois elite who in this day and
hour, in order to obtain token
employment and token social
life, ape Uncle Tom with a
Harvard accent, and tell the
1868 white liberal that he is
correct in thinking that he,
too, knows the Negro"
He said the so-called Negro
leaders have been educated not
for freedom but for con-
formity.
But thank God that in this
moment of crisis, as we stand
on the Threshold of the Sec
ond century," Mr.. Powell de-
clared, "a new Negro voice is
being heard throughout the
land, and 1t represents the vast
majority Of the black mass.
Jews are proud they are Jew
iSh; Irish, that they are Irish;
Italians, that they are Italian.
There is no future for the
Negro until he is proud that
he is black and black in his
thinking"
Turning to Washington and
its problems, Mr.. Powell as
serted that the average Negro
family income nationally is
$2,672 but here it is $4,000.
Only "a per cent of the Negroes
! in the Nation are in the $40, 900
bracket, but here, he said, IA
} per cent earn $4,000 or more.
Fears Race Riot
"Yet with all this. I objec-
lively and calmly state that
this town is going to be the
scene Of one of the worst race
riots in the history Of America
unless two things happen" Mr.,
Powell declared.
First, that the social factors
! which produce racial tensions
are removed; and second, un-
less the Negro community, par
ticularly the upper and middle
class group, arouses itself to a
new involvement with its less
fortunate, economically eX-
. plotted and emotionally in
! volved black brethren"
He said 81 per cent Of the
; people on welfare in Washing
ton are Negroes; 10 per cent OF
the illiterates are Negroes and
80 per cent Of the crimes are
committed by Negroes. Unem-
, ployment, he said, is three times
! that Of whites.
II ask this question and de-
mand an answer" Mr.. Powell
said. "or the white community

greatest crime: What is the

ployment, racial discrimination

crime and the rehabilitation OF
welfare recipients?"
Hits Crime Statements
He said Washington's crime
rate is not the highest in the
Nation, a recurring claim he
labeled as a lie. Mr.. Powell
cited FBI uniform crime re-
porting statistics indicating
Washington stands 18th among
Americas Is largest cities in
the number of crimes per
thousand of population.
THE most alarming thing
about Washington" Mr.. Powell
added, "is that you are first
in this Nation in the produc-
ton Of ivory tower 'sassiety,
Bandanna Negroes. The trouble
with Washington is that it has
hated the word black from
the day that Negro 'sassiety'
was born, and while the Negroes
of this Nation are beginning
to think black and to talk
black, Washington 'sassiety' is
still wrapped up in the ante
bellum dreams Of a mulatto
society.
II warn white Americans now
that the 'hate-white,' black
nationalists' Muslin move
ment' will rapidly increase
unless the white community
rapidly makes way for full
equality"

Scientists Get

Flight 10 Moon

Scientists have been promised
a place aboard Apollo space
ships early In the program Of
flights to the moon.
In a surprise, last-minute
change to a prepared speech
text, Space Administrator
James E. Webb made the prom
Use in a talk at the Third Ma
tional Conference on Peaceful
Uses Of Space, which opened
today at Chicago.
1T is apparent" Mr.. Webb's
added remark said, that the
view Of scientists that trained
scientific personnel should par
ticipate is valid and at the ear
Hest appropriate stage In the
program scientists will be in
cluded on Apollo missions"
Training Continues
Meanwhile, Mr.. Webb said,
training Of present astronautS
in scientific procedures, use Of
manned flights to make scien-
tific measurements, and the
creation of a manned space
science working group at space
agency headquarters are steps
in this direction.
The last-minute addition Of
this promise to an otherwise
routine speech appeared to be
NASA's first tentative answer
to rising scientific criticism Of
the moon program.
Last month, DR.. Philip Abel
son wrote of the program edi-
torially in the magazine Sci
ence as a latter day WPA
project.
Last week end Nobel Prize
winners meeting at Gustavus
Adolphus College in Minnesota
expressed belief that waste
would be involved in a 10-year
all-out moon program.
At the National Academy of
Sciences annual meeting here
late last month, a panel of
scientists gave full to qualified
Endorsement of the Apollo prof.
ect, but offered some criticisms
of the way 1t was being run.
NASA has stated that it will
cost $40 billion to land men
on the moon by the end Of
1869. Many space experts be-
lieve this figure is too low to
be realistic, perhaps by as much
as $40 billion.

Ninth street at P street and
folding chairs were set up in
the street for those listening
to the speeches outside the
church on loud speakers.
Closed circuit television also
was used in some rooms of the
building in which part Of the
crowd sat apart from the au-
ditorium.
Representative Charles C..
Diggs, jr.. Negro Democrat
member of the House from
Michigan and a member Of the
House District Committee,
claimed in another speech that
the Districts nondiscrimina-
ton in employment pronounce
ment is mot worth the paper

He said discrimination in
employment is a key problem
in the District and said
although nearly so per cent Of
District government employees
are Negro, most of them hold
the lowest-paying jobs. He
criticized discrimination by pri-
vate business and industry in
the Washington area, labelling
the labor unions among the
worst offenders.
Mr.. Diggs mentioned "the
biggest department store il
Washington where ever today
they hold separate testimonial
dinners, for old employees, based
on color"
Before the meeting broke UP
and about 500 Of the audience
marched down to picket the
White House in a "spontane-
Gus" move, Mr.. Powell warned
that the "hate-white, black
nationalist, Muslin movement
will rapidly increase unless the
white community gives the
black man full equality and
now"

strators marched to the White

that they will not support Mr..
Leoni's candidacy.
An independent candidate
from neither party could hold
the coalition together. But Mr..
Leoni and his executive council
have firmly rejected this sop
to the junior partner.
"Our Democratic Action
Party is the majority party"
he said during an interview.
Last time we got 49.5 per cent
of the vote. This time we shall
get more. We are a national
party with a national program
and we have no reason to sur
render our right to name a
party candidate"
That candidate is scheduled
to be nominated at the party
convention later this month.
Unity is Sought
In the meantime, jockeying
for unity continues among the
Democratic opposition parties.
The name most mentioned is
Wolfgang Larrazabal, form e r
head of the military junta
which deposed the Perez Jime-
nez dictatorship. He is just back
from four years as successful
Ambassador to Chile.
But Admiral Larrazabal has
no strong political organiza-
ton. He is also deeply suspect
in conservative circles. When
he ran for president In 1858
against Mr.. Betancourt, he ac-
cepted Communist support. He
is the one prospective candidate
whom the Venezuelan military
might not allow to take office.
Political attention also is
focused on a far more en-
couraging development on the
right. For the first time in
Venezuelan history the business
and professional communities
have openly organized a pres
sure group to elect responsible
presidential and congressional
candidates.
Wealthy Class Interested
1T is a real revolution" said
a high official in President
Betancourt's government. THE
moneyed classes here are join
ing the Democratic system.
Usually they stay behind the
scenes out Of politics ana then
try to exercise power through
whoever is elected"
Three hundred wealthy busi-
nesSmen form the nucleus of

Independents (AVD.

cations Of membership In poll
tical parties" he continued.

The test of those words is
still to come in. But today
they sum UP the gathering con-
fidence with which Venezuela
is approaching that test.

suburbs to New York. Another hydrofol outfit is
planning to make pleasure cruises at the 1864
Worlds Fair. Next year, too, hydrofoils will run

waiting at the railroad station for your usual train
you're at spanking new landing place the river
near your home.
You and knot of other commuters have your
eyes turned upriver toward moving dot surrounded
by shimmering spray. The dot rushes closer, gets
bigger and resolves itself into the speediest shini
est, super-mOdern boat you saw. But this boat
isn't riding in the water, it's skating along on legs,
high above the surface. In spite of the cloud of
glistenng spray, you look right under its keel.
Suddenly, the highPitched whine of its engines
drops octave, its hull settles into the water and it
quietly moves alongside the dock. A gangway comes
out and you walk up it. You have just boarded the

The desperate city planners are tearing their
hair over the problems of supplying more ways of
getting to town for even greater numbers of subur
banites, as the railroads die before their eyes and
road building costs skyrOcket.
No wonder people are hopefully turning toward
the idea of using rivers and bays as arteries of
commuter transport, to supplement and lake some
of the pressure off railroads and highways.
At recent symposium on the future of Ameri-
can cities, organized by THIS WEEK, canny real
estate operator, William Zeckendorf of New York
predicted:
II think that most of the cities that border on
navgable water with the advent of highspeed large
capacity cOmmuter-type hydrOfoil vessels, have
wonderful opportunities to go to their Peripheral

ar ALL the horses in the world,
" the wild ponies of ChincOteague
must be among the most spirited and
durable. AS far back as their known
history goes they have lived isolated
on either or both Of the sister islands
of ChincOteague and ASsateague, with
in earshOt of the Atlantic Ocean and
subSiSting on a rugged diet of marsh
grass. Storms such as only the Allan
tic can cOncOct have buffeted them in
habitat where shelter is scarce AS re-
Gently as last years March nOrtheaSter
their number was nearly halved Still,
the ponies have always managed to re-
cover and to flourish.
Actually, they are not ponies, but
in size are somewhere between an
average pony and an average horse
from IL to Is hands high. They were not
originally wild, and they now live on
Assateague rather than Chincoteague
Island
There are two reasons for calling
them ChincOteague ponies, and the
most solid of these is the fact that the
ponies were first rounded up on Chin
colleague Island near the settlement of
the same name. Today the roundup is
staged on ASSatague, the horses being
led to swim across the narrow inlet
between the two islands to Chinco-
league, where they are displayed and
sold amid high-carnival atmosphere.
The second basis for the name goes
back to DINNER chapter of history.
Legend has it that the original ponies
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-09-08

were part of cargo aboard Spanish
ship which smashed during storm off
ASSateague in the 10th century Al
though the surviving ponies swan
ashore there, they went on to ChincO-
league for better forage.
Not everyone goes along with that
romantic theory. Another is advanced
that the progenitOrS of the present
herd belonged to pirates who put them
ashore to Craze on the islands after
plundering them from other ships.
Perhaps the most plausible belief
of all is that these were the descend
ants of horses introduced on the cont.
nent by the Spanish cOnquiStadors and
adopted by the Indians. Unselective
breeding over the generations tended
to make the ChincOteagueS smaller and
more pony-like.
Outside blood mixed with the orig
inal as years passed. Word of mouth
from lOng-dead residents relates that
English hOrSefleSh must have been in
trOduced, because in later years some
of the Chinc0teagueS showed natural
tendency to pace. And within the men,
DRY of some, pinto horses from the
American West were introduced to
freShen the bloodline further, and
Welsh ponies too.
The combination of all these ele-
ments, in any case, has produced a
most 1.-the and beautiful breed whose
appearance in the wild helps validate
the expression noble horse"
