Wed. - Family Prayer 1 and B M e Study Fri. - Brotherhood Prayer aad Pastor Ph The first full-scale report on a nearly forgotten racial explosion that shattered New York City's Harlem in August 1943. has been documented in a new book. The Hariem Biot af 1948. just published by the Temple University Proas. , . W ritten by Dominic J. Capeci, Jr., associate professor of history at South west Missouri State University, the book presents disquieting insights into the continuing urban problem of racial antagonism and of the polities surround ing ft. President Franklin D . Roosevelt is specially indicted for his attitudes aad actions toward the disorder as Capeci reveals the shortcomings of federal and urban policies directed toward Blacks. The leadership of New York Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia is shown in a new light and the author also provides a fresh insight into the late Rev. Adam Clayton Powell. Jr., then a New York councilman. Tensions had mounted in several sections of the United States during the spring of 1943 as racial i exacerbated by various discriminatory practices in employment and social services in a wartim e society which was ostensibly united in the fight for dem ocracy. Finally, disorders erupted in Beau mont. Texas; Mobile. Alabama; Loa Angeles, and most devastatingly. in Detroit. Despite Mayor LaGuardia's attempts to avert racial strife, his efforts were ineffective and violence was therefore inevitable. On August 1. Harlem explod ed and within 12 hours, six persons were daad. several hundred injured and some $2 million worth of property destroyed. Capoci also examines in historical per spective a key event in white/Black relations in the United States. He in depth the background of the as well as wartime develop ments. attitudes and actions of political figures and the issues surrounding the riot and its aftermath. His conclusions bear relevance on the continuing urban crisis in America's cities today. 7:89 p m .

N E W YORK -GO FOR YOURSELF I flew back into Portland two days prior to the Blackout and that literally paralixed New York and its surroundings cities over night. What has always mystified me about New York is not necessarily its bigness, but rather, where are all those millions of people going? There are more people on the streets of Manhattan between 12 4 a.m. than I ’ve ever seen in Loa Angeles and San Francisco combined. Oh Well! I suppose if New Yorkers did like and what everybody else does, they wouldn't be New Yorkers. But aa progressive aa it's supposed to bo. then why doesn't it ever change? It's drug problems are the same; its unemployment lines are just as long; its slum conditions are viaably unchanged and its crime rate is still in the top three in the nation. It's a nice place to visit but I certainly wouldn't make ft home. I f you want to know where to go for fun in New York - Go for yourself! I f you're into shows, plays, etc., Broadway and off Broadway are the places to go. “The Whiz" is there, along with "Bubbling Brown Sugar”.
