IN JUNIOR GANGLAND, 'NOBODY
QUITS' IN TENN-AGE WARFARE
By RICHARD KLEINER
NEA Staff Correspondent
Tt was eight o’clock in the morn
fng and 17-year-old Freddie Hor
ton was walking to work in Brook
lyn. He never got there. When he
came 1o a street corner, two other
boys approached him.
“Are you still a Nit?” one of the
boys asked, mentioning the name
of a notorious teen-age gang Hor
ton had belonged to.
“No, I'm not any more,” Horton
gaid, and started to walk away. He
recognized the others as members
of a rival gang, the Robins.
The other boys jumped in front
of him and laughed. “Once a Nit,
always a Nit,” they said. “Nobody
smoothes.” :
“If you bother me,” Horton said,
*l'm (ioing 10 yat.”
“Not if we kill you first” the
Robins shouted. One of them
swung a heavy club at Horton, but
he ducked and the blow only
knocked his hat off.
* % »
Horten ran. He ran straight to
the authorities and poured out an
incredible tale of organized kid
gang warfare among Brooklyn’s
youngsters. The police, under the
direction of Assistant District At
torney John E. Cone, had long‘
been investigating the critical sit- ‘
uation. |
Herton gave them the story of
the gangs’ workings, the names of
the leaders, the places and dates
where gang fights were already |
scheduled, the truth about girl.
auxiliaries. ‘
(The name “Freddie Horton” is,
of course, fictitious. He is in
danger of his life from revengeful
ganfi members.) |
the two Robins had warn
ed Horton that “nobody smoothes,”
they were using gang terminology
for “nobody quits.” And, as Hor
ton’s story made shocKingly clear,
they were right.
"& @ ,
Outgrowing the gang is a virtual
impossibility —the members sim
ply graduate into a kind of “active
elumni,” coaching the younger
boys and confin:nifigedgang warfare
and, efien, org crime on a
grown-up scale. These alumni
troug call themselves “Big Nits”
or “Big Robins.”
Children of about eight are ac
cepted into the gangs’ younger
branches, called “Baby Robins,”
for example, or sometimes “Jun
iors” or “%übs." The gang, there
fore, serves as a focal point for the
growing boy. He starts as a Baby,
moves on (in some gangs) to an
intermediate classification, then to
the gang itself and, finally, to the
alumni.
Even a term in prison or reform
school doesn’t break up the gang
tradition. Cone has learned that
New York state penal institutions
have wirtual alumni groups behind
lfi)a.risA Nits still fight Robins in
Jall,
Sex is apparently’ no bar to
membership. All the gangs boast
girl auxiliaries, who usually call
themselves “Robin Debs,” or
“Robinettes.” The girls serve a
useful purpose in the gang organi
zation. During street fighting, the
girle earry the weapons. Policemen
are reluctant to search them; the
girls seream that they are being
molegted.
€t o ®
So the boys head for the fight—
planned in advance—and the girls
bring the guns and knives and
rocks. They hand them to the boys,
and pick them up again after the
brawl is over, or when the police
arrfve. The girls also furnish ali
bis a# needed, saying the boy in-

volved was with them at the
movies or a dance, ¢
Names of the gangs, in some
cases, have been handed down for
three generations. Among the more
powerful Brooklyn street gangs are
the Nits, Robins, Beavers, Brewery
Rats, Commanches, Gestapos, Jol
ly Stompers, Socialistic Gents and
Mac Nasties,
% * *
Many of the gangs wear svecial
clothes to distinguish themselves.
Usually it is a unique type or
fancy colored hat. But one gang
wears heavy, studded belts, which
have been found to be handy in
a fight.
Most of the gang members spend
most of their time in relatively
harmless pursuits. They go to the
movies or dances or “bop ses
sions” or just shoot the breeze” in
their hangouts — usually a pool
room, candy store or abandoned
building.
But gang warfare breaks out
sporadically—not in just a healthy
scrap, but a fight for keeps. One
favorite fight tactic is “stomping”
—getting a rival on the ground—{
and jumping up and down on him.
The Brooklyn East Detective
Youth Squad lists these weapons
confiscated from youths partici
pating in gang activities: “Pistols,
14; rifles, 1; home-made guns, 7;
boyonets, knives, 85; hatchets, 2;
black-jacks, 2; metal knuckles, 2;
metal belt . buckles, 18; metal
tipped canes, 9:”
In the last year, 11 boys have
been killed during gang wars in
New York City. And countless
more have been injured, some per
maneritly, -
Horton told police that a few
new gangs were making their pre
sence felt ig Nit and Rebin terri
tory, and that the old-established
gangs were getting ready for a
renewal of lar‘ge-:caie warfare.
He also told a fantastic—but be
lievable—story of two days being
set aside each year as big gang
fight days. Easter Sunday, he
said, all the gangs go to Coney
Island, search for a street where
the police are absent, and go at
it. The police, thus tipped off,
were able to prevent an Easter
Sunday brawl this year.
On Decoration Day, Horton said,
there is usually a big gang-fight at
Prospect Park on a pretty green
hill, topped by a statue.
The boys call the place “Mas
sacre Hill.”
CHILD BRIDE
WINS DIVORCE
NATHANYA, Israel —(AP)— A
rabbinical court awarded a divorce
to an 11-year-old Yeminite girl
from her 40-year-old husband. The
girl told the tribunal she had been
sold in the Yemen for 56 cents to
become the bride of a Yemenite
named Salem Tzuref. Then she
was only ten years old.
She said her love couldn’t be
bought. She tried to kill herself.
She ran away from her husband.
He traced her to an immigrant
camp near here. The girl ap
pealed to camp authorities, saying
she was a child and wanted to go
to school.
Many of the Yemenite immi
grants coming to Israel have girl
brides, -
