Shreveport Is Nation's Newest Trouble Spot In Racial Struggle
(A continuing story of devel
opments on the racial front)
By AL KUETTNER
' United Press International
SHRKVEPORT, La., has quick
ly developed into another of th(
nation's critical racial trouble
zones. ;
Police used tear gas Monda
to disperse a group of 150 Mgr.
school students. The day before,
mounted patrolmen broke up a
rally called to memorialize the
four Negro girls killed in a Sun
day school bomb blast.
Local police authorities have
made it clear they will not tol-
rate demonstrations, large or
mall. The policy was not much
hallengcd until the past summer
vhen several sit in projects were
irganized. They got nowhere but
csulted in a pickup order for
Jiarles Evers, brother of the
lain Jackson, Miss., Negro civil
rights leader.
Hostility And Resentment
Most Shreveport Negroes have
treated past demonstrations
calmly and with considerable hu
mor. But much of that attitude
disappeared with Monday's tear
gas. Observers noted hostility
and resentment for the first time.
8 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Thur., Sept. 26, 1963
Shreveport, a major distribu
tion center at the gateway to
Texas, has a 40 per cent Negro
population. Many have lived in
the Red River town for ycars'and
their homes are clumped
throughout the city.
The growing racial situation
was being watched closely by
business Shreveport is a big oil
pipeline center and by the mili
tary. Barksdale Air Force Base,
a huge Strategic Air Command
base which is headquarters for
the 2nd Air Force, is in a near
by parish.
Police Highly Trained
. Holding the Negro demon
strators in firm control is a high
ly-trained police force that is
linked with the Caddo Parish
sheriff's ofice. The combined op
eration puts up a military type
maneuver when it is tailed out
to control crowds.
Boss of the outfit is Public
Safety Commissioner George
E'Artois. He is thought of locally
as a quiet Eugene (Bull) Connor.
He is a former deputy sheriff.
D'Artois, accompanied by po
lice Chief Harvey Teasley, trav
eled to many of the recent major
racial demonstration scenes, in
cluding Birmingham, Green
wood, Miss., and , Washington.
Study Films
The two men brought home
some fine amateur movie film
of the Aug. 28 march on Wash
ington. The film has been used
to train local officers in crowd
control.
Caddo Parish also is the home
of state Sen. Willie Rainach, long

Until the latest flareup, the ra
cial troubles here were hardly
visible on the surface. Even now,
ir.ost of the actual demonstrators
are high school pupils.
Among those arrested Monday,
however, were 19 persons who
said they were members of the
Congress ' of Racial Equality
(CORE). That group has been
active in some of the most vio
lent of the country's racial dis
turbances. If organized Negro
groups . have picked Shreveport
for a major integration push, the
situation mere coma develop rap
idly into a tense trouble spot.

Wilson, who warned that a few
days of sunshine could easily
raise fire danger to hazardous
levels, said all but two seasonal
fire closures have been lifted on
Oregon national forests.
Closures still in effect are the
Summer Lake rim area of the

Ashland watershed in the Rogue

Over the past year, food prices

were registered for most other
important classes of foods.

Hanford was appropriated by the
fedoral government shortly after
the start of World War II.
At that time the population of
the village of Hanford was 250.
It zoomed to 15,000 when the plant
was under construction but it re
verted to a ghost town when build
ing was completed.
Today, the persons who work at
Hanford live in Richland, 25 miles
to the south. Richland, itself, was
about the size of Hanford before
the Atomic Bomb, but today it is
a town of about 15,000. Combined
with nearby Pasco and Kennewick
to make the Tri-City area, it il
one of the most populated places
in the state outside of Seattle.
