Durno Tells Sordid Side of Capital; Book on Subject
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington - (Special)-In
his farewell newsletter, for
mer Congressman Edwin R,
Durno of Med-
ford told of
one of the sor
did sides of
life in the na
tion's capital
t h e criminal
v i o 1 e n c e
which breaks
out daily in
the form of
robbery, rape
and other forms of assault
upon innocent victims.
. While this is not unusual
in the big cities of any coun
try, Americans like to think
their capital city should be
an example of the best- in a
free society' rather than be
stained with the worst. But
secretaries of congressmen,
leaving their offices on Cap
itol Hill, even one kneeling
alone in a nearby church,
have been assaulted within
a few blocks of the Capitol.
"The overwhelming major
ity committing the crimes are
Negro youths in their teens
or early twenties," Dr. Durno
reported.
He didn't attempt tq an
alyze the root causes of this
violence, but he suggested
that some foreign aid money
should be ' diverted to deal
with urban problems such as
education and recreational fa
cilities. .
A new book, "Dusk at the
Mountain," by Haynes John
son, is a vastly illuminating
study of the ugly internal dis
ease of our society which few
white people clearly compre-
h e n d. Criminal violence,
which many fear and con
demn, is only its most evi
dent symptom.
From out of the Southern
deltas and hills, nearly 1,500,
000 Negros migrated to the
North and the Western states
during the 1950s in search of
greater opportunity. Few of
them have found ii, even in
modest degree. What have
they found?
Johnson, an able editor on
the Washington Star, talked
with countless Negroes for
many months to get the an
swer to this question. H i s
brilliant and penetrating syn
thesis of many comments pro
vides a vividly unforgettable
portrait.
Because Washington is "the
first stop across the bridge"
from Dixie, it has long had
a large Negro population. But
the 1960 census revealed that
it had become the first major
city in the nation with more
Negroes (411,737) than whites
(345.263), not counting t h e
Maryland and Virginia sub
urbs to which thousands of
whites moved and where
Negroes are virtually exclud
ed by segregated housing.
Pays Higher Price
Besides exclusion from new
er neighborhoods, Negroes are
victims of the "two-price sys-
THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA
Governor Brown Takes Office,
Outlines Progress Blueprint
By United Prtss Internatoinal
' Gov. Edmund G. Brown
took office last week as Cal
ifornia's first iwo-term Demo
cratic governor of the century
and outlined a far-reaching
"blueprint for progress" to
help the nation's most popu
lous state meet its many chal
lenges. Sounding the keynote of his
second four-year term, the 57-year-old
Democrat proposed a
sweeping legislative program
covering education, crime,
taxes, highway safety, civil
rights and government reor
ganization. Brown, speaking at his in
augural ceremony just after
the heavily Democratic legis
lature had convened, pledged
to make education his top pri
ority. Brown also said he.woud
later propose a budget - es
timated by most observers to
be close to the $3 million
mark - which will be bal
anced and call for no new or
higher taxes.
1 In the field of crime, Brown,
an avowed opponent of cap
ital punishment, asl:ed the
Legislature to consider a mor
atorium on the death penalty.
In place of the gas chamber,
Brown asked for life sentence
without the possibility of pa
role. And this issue shaped
up as one of the most contro
versial before the lawmakers.
Also during the week,
Brown opened an attack on
automobile traffic fatalities
with a bill to require instal
lation of seat belts in all new
cars. Other bills affecting chil
dren, the unemployed, the
state supreme court and law
breakers were introduced as
the legislature got town to
business.
Brown delivered his inau
gural address on the west por
tico of the capitol before a
crowd estimated at ",000 per
sons. Later, Frank Sinatra
and the "clan" from Holly
wood inaugurated Brown in
their own way with songs,
jokes and quips at a special
formal dress party.
The new legislature was
controlled by the Democrats
with margins of 52-28 In the
Assembly and 27-13 In the
Senate. There were 34 new
members in the lower house
and nine freshman senators.
Elsewhere, there were these
developments:
Keys: Two ex-convicts were
arrested and charged with
manufacturing keys to San
Francisco parking meters and
clling the keys to teen-aged
boys. Taken into custody were
Clarence A. Hanson, 34. and
David Wiggins, 39, both of
Sacramento. San Francisco
police said the keys, each of
which would open a thousand
meters, were sold for between
$15 and $50 apiece.
Da Kaplanyi The acid mur
der trial of Dr. Geza de Kap
lany, a Hungarian-born phy
sician, got underway In San
Jose with selection of a Jury.
The defendant Is charged with
torturing his bride of five
weeks. Hajna, 25, wit;, a knife
and acid In their San Jose
apartment Aug. 28. She died
a little more than a month
later In a San Francisco hos
pital The former Hungarian
freedom fighter pleaded inno
cent by reason of insanity.
But his defense attorney was
considering a plea of guilty
for his client, in hope he
could be declared innocent by
reason of insanity.
Druet: The U.S. Food and
i
Drug Administration (FDA)
was accused of ignoring the
intent of Congress by issuing
new rules which would allow
Americans to be u.oed as med
ical "guinea pigs" without
thejr knowledge or consent.
The charge was made by the
National Health Federation,
a private non-profit group
with headquarters in Monro
via, at the conclusion of its
eighth annual convention in
Long Beach. The federation
criticized new FDA rules and
said they would not protect
patients.
Skybolii Sir Arth r Har
vey, chairman of the British
parliament's defense commit
tee, flew to Washington from
Santa Monica to confer with
Pentagon officials in hopes
"someihing , could be sal
vaged" from the scrapped
Skybolt, missile project. Har
vey met with Donald Douglas
Jr.; president of Douglas Air
craft Company, prime con
tractors for Skybolt, and ap
peared confident something
from the project' could be
saved. The U.S. has decided
to cancel the Skybolt program
and furnish Britain with Pol
aris missiles instead, the
switch has threatened thous
ands of jobs in California.
NCAA: Delegates to the
57th annual National Collegi
ate Athletic association
(NCAA) convention looked to
Gen. Douglas MacArthur for
a solution to the bitter fight
for control of amateur ath
letics in the United States.
The three-day convention of
the NCAA was held in Los
Angeles with the dispute be
tween the Amateur Athletic
Union and the NCAA-sponsored
sports federations having
virtually excluded all other
major business. MacArthur,
at President Kennedy's re
quest, has agreed to head an
arbitration panel which will
try to iron out the dispute
between the two factions over
control of athletic events.
Powell: Actor - producer
Dick Powell left most of his
million-dollar estate to his
wife, actress June Allyson,
and their two children. Terms
of his will, filed for probate
in Los Angeles, disclosed
Powell's estate was "in ex
cess of $1 million." Powell
died of cancer Jan. 2.
tern." reports the author.
Whether an ex-sharecropper
or a Ph. D., the Negro has to
pay a higher price than the
white for comparable housing
it he can get comparable
housing. Because the demand
exceeds the supply, landlords
and real estate operators get
their inflated price.
"The two-price system ex
ists because of one principal
reason: white men do not
want to live with Negroes,"
asserts Johnson, chiefly be
cause they mistakenly believe
that all Negroes make unde
sirable neighbors. .
Many desirable neighbor
hoods have opened to Negroes
by the migration of . whites
to new suburban develop
ments, but the Negro has to
have money to buy his way
out of the slums. For those
who have succeeded in busi
ness and professions, this is
no problem. Hence, Washing
ton has a number of attractive
neighborhoods populated by
more privileged middle class
Negro families, as well as
some rich ones, many college
graduates.
But the violence is spawn
ed in the slums, which are
occupied by illiterate or poor
ly educated colored folk who
have left the South more re
cently. Slum area schools are
over-crowded, and the young
sters have a poor home en
vironment in which to ad
vance scholastically. Buying
their way out of over-priced acquires that knowledge sim
tenements is virtually impos-1 P'y by being born a Negro
sible. Labor unions prevent
their admission to apprentice
ship programs, the main gate
way to skilled, belter paying
jobs. So many Negroes are
marked for a lifetime of un
skilled labor, of which there
is an increasing oversupply,
causing recurring unemploy
ment. Most Negroes recognize that
they are victims of systematic
discrimination, reports John
son, and most of all the Ne
groes resent the Man, (heir
pet term for white authority.
The Man is the landlord who
evicts them when they can't
make their inflated rent. The
Man is the merchant who mis
leads them with cheap, over
priced merchandise on "easy"
credit terms. The Man is the
employer or union official
who gives them the run
around when they try to ad
vance beyond the pick and
shovel gang. The Man is the
fellow who takes the few
bucks left for a bottle of
cheap booze, which offers a
magic carpet ride for a few
hours of escape from the
Man's restrictive world,
Symbol of- Authority
The agent or symbol of the
Man's force and authority is
the policeman. Johnson says:
"Hostility toward policemen
is almost an ingrained habit
among these Negroes. It does
not have to be taught. One
in a slum environment.'
When the House District
committee periodically "inves
tigatcs" crime here, its solu
tion, dictated by Southern
congressmen, is predictably ir
relevant hire more cops
and police dogs. Because'
Washington lacks self-government,
and is dependent on
Congress, a handful of Dixie
lawmakers appear determined
to aggravate the city's racial
strains as "proof" that inte
gration is unworkable.
While this is the uniquely
Washington twist of "Dusk at
the Mountain," its penetrat
ing message in substance is
this: the South is exporting
its "Negro problem" to the
North and West where many
whites are reacting unhelp
fully with fear and apprehen
sion, some harmfully with
cruel results, so that the plac
id colored minority of yester
year is developing within it
a new element which is dem
onstrating bitter hostility
against authority by means of
criminal violence.
The message of Johnson's
remarkable book should be j
carried to every growing city
where whites must recognize
that the same conditions he
describes in Washington may
happen there unless they cre
atively prepare to help eradi
cate this social cancer in what
we like to call a free society.
