Toll of Big-City Riots:
Small Stores, Negro Jobs
By RAY CROMLEY
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)
It is now becoming tragically apparent just who are the
victims of big-city riots.
The most complete official studies to date perhaps have
been little-advertised research on the April, 1968, riots
following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.
These findings, revealed at congressional hearings over
the past few weeks, show that 80 per cent of those busi
nesses hit in the 1968 Washington, D.C., riots were small
neighborhood shops; 34 per cent had a total income of less
than 15,000 a year.
More than half the damaged establishments were mar
ginal. More than one-third produced earnings for their
owners below or around the poverty line, according to offi
cials who made the studies.
Some 57 per cent of the jobs destroyed in the Washington
riots were Negro jobs.
Indications are that most of these small neighborhood
businesses were family establishments, handed down from
grandfather to father to son. These were the sole family
assets. At least, this was true apparently in the worst-hit
sections of Newark, N.J.
A substantial percentage of the owner-proprietors of
these small family marginal stores in Washington were
older people in their 50s and 60s. As they died or moved,
the figures indicate, management of the businesses was
taken over by young Negroes.
Some estimators believe that without the riots the
change-over would have been largely complete in less
than 20 years.
In proportion to their numbers in Washington, Negro
managed establishments were hit as frequently as white.
This does not paint a very pretty picture. It has been
popular to say that the rioters were lashing out against
the conditions in which they live, against exploiters and
against their having no voice in things.
No doubt there was some of this. But the data In Wash
ington, at last, seems to show that, by and large, the busi
nesses hit were those where the looting was best. In num
bers of cases the looters apparently were well off and in
some cases better off than the proprietors of the stores
being looted.
In businesses where the distinction was clear, rioters
often did no destruction at all to stores owned by known
“gougers” who had nothing easily looted. They passed
these by, and instead hit shops owned and operated by
men and women known to be friendly and helpful to the
Negro community.
Eighty-five per cent of the business establishments hit
had merchandise stolen.
The condition of those who live in city slums sorely needs
improving.
Something must be done to give the man in the slums
(black or white) and his children the same opportunities to
make something of their lives as those open to other people.
This will take special effort.
But if this effort is to be effective, it must be based on
fact. We must not build fanciful pictures.

Know-How and Incentives
Are Hopes for the Future
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (NEA)
The world’s most advanced industrial nations tend also
to be the best agricultural producers. The link is close, for
farming today is a complex "science” industry.
With rare exceptions, the poor countries, where farming
is “their thing,” are the worst at it.
Yet the trail being blazed by the big gainers—the United
States, some European lands, Japan and such surprising
followers as Nationalist China (Taiwan) and Mexico—is
having its important effect worldwide.
World food output is up 50 per cent since World War 11,
and crop acreage is 18 per cent higher than before that
war. Meantime, global population has risen 35 per cent.
There has been an explosion of knowledge about soils,
plant physiology, fertilizers, water use and control, pest
and disease control, cropping techniques, machinery, re
forestation, storage.
The difficulty is that some fanners in the advanced
nations and nearly all in the underdeveloped lands are
either unaware of most of this knowledge or, for varying
reasons, cannot apply it.
Some world agronomists argue that if the new knowledge
could be widely applied in the decades just ahead, the
world land area under cultivation could be rocketed from
a present 10 per cent to 30. In large parts of the globe,
they say, food output could be doubled in 16 years.
As in industry, Japan in farming has became almost a
model. Its crop yields per acre are 6 to 1 over huge India,
struggling to feed 515 million people. Japan uses more
commercial fertilizer than all the rest of Asia combined.
At least 60 per cent of its arable land is heavily irrigated.
It uses the strongest, highest-yielding crop varieties, the
best cropping techniques.
The promise for the poor producers of Asia, Africa and
Latin America can be seen in many places:
• California, using water and new plant breeds well,
gets a rice yield 10 times that of ancient mainland China
• The United States, turning heavily to hybrid corn and
appropriate fertilizer, is dramatically outstripping the
world in yields. 6
• Mexico, venturing with new breeds, fertilizer and
water use, has doubled its wheat yields since the war.
• Pesticides have doubled U.S. potato production
• India and other Asian lands with wet-and-dry climates
could irrigate huge acreages in their long rainless spells
by storing the usable flow of swollen rivers in rainy months.
None of this promise can be fulfilled until the knowledge
is spread wide and the farmers are trained, equipped,
financed and given sorely needed new incentives personally
and economically. 3
_ Land reform, the darling of the liberals and radicals, is
a r, ea J -^ ed . ln America and some other places.
KI *7 ‘Lu l Uß l one element in a necessarily sophisticated
blend. The other, often-more-vital needs are the fullest

APPRECIATIVE SPOUSE
BARROW • IN-FURNESS, En
gland (UPD—There’s no doubt
about it. Sam Hartlebury is e
happily-married man.
He celebrated 25 years of
wedded life Tuesday, not by
giving his wife a mere present
or a bunch of flowers, but by:
Hauling up a huge British
flag atop a 25 foot pole in his
front yard.
Filling his garden with 5,00 G
seashells, spelling out “Pat and
Sam, silver wedding June 10.’*
Said Pat: “I’m simply
delighted."
Said Sam: “A good wife
deserves something special
after 25 years.”
