Chicago Rally
Turned Into
Riot Sunday
By DAVID A. RICHINS
United Press International
CHICAGO (UPI) —A memor
ial rally for slain Black
Nationalist leader Malcolm X
turned into a riot Sunday when
Negroes became angered by
two white girl hecklers.
At least seven persons were
injured, none believed seriously,
in the on-again, off-again
struggle between hundreds of
Negroes and more than 200 riot
helmeted police. At least 25
persons were arrested.
The Wabash Avenue police
station was placed under siege
by the unruly crowd. Police
guarding the station were pelted
with stones and four Molotov
cocktails. A squad car was
overturned and windows in the
station house were broken.
Memorial Rally
The disorders took place in
and around Washington Park,
where the Afro - American
Students Association held a mid
afternoon rally marking the
birthday of Malcolm X, the
Black Nationalist who split with
the Black Muslims to lead his
own group. He was shot to
death while addressing a rally
in New York’s Harlem Feb. 21,
1965.
About 50 persons, many of
them clad in gaily-colored
African tribal robes, held a
peaceful and orderly rally for
more than two hours in a forum
section of the park, police said.
Suddenly, two white girls of
college age appeared and began
shouting, "We should all live
together.”
(Black Nationalists opposed
intermingling of Negroes and
whites.)
Members of the crowd began
beating the girls. Negro under
cover policemen rescued the
girls and whisked them off in
an unmarked patrol car. The
girls were not identified by
police.
Police Officers Rescued
The crowd then turned on the
Negro officers, who had to be
rescued by uniformed patrol
men firing shotguns into the air.
A general riot alarm was
sounded, Asst. Police Supt. John
Hackett said.
The most serious trouble
broke out when the rally ended
and a crowd marched toward a
statue of George Washington,
saying they intended to deface
it. Police stopped them.
Shots were fired by members
of the crowd, stones were
thrown and windows of police
cruisers were smashed. More
arrests were made and the
apprehended persons were ta
ken to the Wabash Avenue
station with the crowd follow
ing.
A line of riot-helmeted police
formed a guard around the
station, which came under
siege. A gasoline-filled soda
bottle exploded over a hambur
ger stand.

Little News in 'Protesters'
Who Give Lives for Beliefs
By RAY CROMLEY
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON (NEA)
A few days ago, as this was being written, 18 “protesters”
(sometimes 22) were picketing outside the Pentagon River
entrance.
Television cameras were running. These youngsters were
being written up on the front pages of newspapers. Their
views were receiving wide expression.
At least one commentator talked of their “courage.”
In South Vietnam, there are a good many protesters—men
protesting against the take-over of one people by another
through armed invasion, terrorism and underground subver
sion.
In the past five months, more than 15,000 officers and men
who completed their year’s tour in Vietnam volunteered for
an additional tour of duty.
Os the 441,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam, 335,000 are there
because they volunteered for service or extra service in the
U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines, most knowing they’d
likely be sent to Vietnam. Almost every American civilian in
South Vietnam volunteered for the Southeast Asian duty.
More than 85 per cent of the Americans killed in Vietnam
volunteered for service or extra service in the armed forces
at a time when it was certain they’d likely serve in Vietnam.
These American protesters in Vietnam are laying their
lives on the line. We read many battle stories about their
bravery. We hear much less about their beliefs or the things
they’re doing for Vietnam when they’re not fighting.
Five Ku Klux Klansmen held a rally in the Southeast some
time back. It was covered by 41 newspaper, radio and tele
vision men. There were said to be 200 reporters at one Cali
fornia KKK rally, attended by only a handful of klansmen.
The other night this reporter attended a meeting of a
major political party which nominated a man for the County
Board of Supervisors. The work of the man to be electea,
and that of the supervisors for the six other districts, will
strongly affect the lives of 300,000 people in the next four
years. There were 297 people at the meeting. This reporter
could find no mention of the event in two of the area’s lead
ing newspapers.
A tiny CORE (Committee on Racial Equality) meeting, dis
cussing violent action, drew twice as many reporters as dele
gates.
A 1,500-delegate national Urban League convention, at
tended by the employers of 10 million men and women and
discussing better ways to train and employ Negroes, drew
only a handful of reporters.
Thirty-seven placard-waving demonstrators at the Penta
gon last year gained national television and press coverage.
Almost unnoticed the same day was the movement of 35
truckloads of clothes and other gifts gathered by Virginia
Junior Chamber of Commerce members for distribution in
Vietnam.
Civic groups composed of hundreds of people make impor
tant changes in their community. They struggle to be heard.
But if one man burns his draft card and wedges himself in
the door of a public building in protest, reporters and pho
tographers cover his actions in minute detail.
Aren’t we losing sight of something?
Aging Invited

around the state are beginning
to wonder what will happen at
next Saturday’s open house for
