AMANT Los Anseles -fl:?.i in a Negro in Los Angeles is the equal ot a white man. In , he is not, according to civil richts authnritioc . This sprawling metropolis has a Negro population of aooui 330,000 - or 14 per cent of its over-all 2.5 million. Ninety per cent of the Ne groes are concentrated in a south-central section of the city where a white face is a rarity. This is what civil rights leaders call de facto segrega tion or geographical segrega tion established by "gentle men's agreements" to keep the Negro in a ghetto even though the laws are on his side. Today the county Negro population is estimated at 515,000. Most of these people live within the city of Los Angeles but there are a few Negro islands in suburban Pasadena and Monrovia. Victims of Povtriy Most Negroes are compress ed into their ghettos by pov erty and consequent inability to purchase homes of their own and by the connivance of white tract builders, ac cording to leaders of such groups at the Congress of Ra cial Equality and the Nation al Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People. While it is conceded that the Los Angeles Negro may be better off from the stand point of schooling, housing and job opDortunities than his counterpart in Alabama, there still is a smouldering discon tent. This was obvious at a civil rights meeting recently which was attended by some 30,000 persons, mostlv Neeroes. at Wrigley Field. Numerous speakers urged moral and fi nancial support for Birming ham. Ala.. Neeroes in their desegregation struggle but a common comment from the audience was: "What about Los Angeles?" Draws Applause Dr. Christopher Taylor. chairman of the lecal chapter of the NAACP, drew one of the biggest bursts of applause at the three -hour meeting when he said: "We are here to heln the people of Birmingham but I would be remiss in my duty if I did not mention certain problems we have in Los An-1 geles - police brutality, lack of housing, discrimination in employment ... we must not let down in our fight in all walks of life for equal op portunity in Los Angeles." Allied Invasion Victims Honored Omaha Beach, France -IBPP- American, Canadian, British and French officials Thursday honored-the soldiers who died in the Allied invasion of Europe which started 19 years ago. More than 9.000 Americans lie buried on the cliffs above Omaha Beach, only part of the thousands of Allied troops who gave their lives in the campaign to liberate Europe from domination by Nazi Ger many, i There was little left but the historic names of the Nor mandy beaches and towns to remind participants in today's ceremonies of the bitter fight ing on D-Day-June 6, 1944. The battered hull of a sunk en American landing craft which can be seen offshore at low tide as the old relic left behind at Omaha Beach. The other traces of war were swept away long ago, and beach huts and cafes now dot the shore. Police Chief William H. Parker denies any policy of brutality toward Negroes or any other persons but the charges are levied repeatedly not only by extremist groups such as the Black Muslims but also by leaders of the NAACP and CORE. Residential and classroom problems seem to be upper most in the minds of Negro leaders. F. Daniel Gray, first vice chairman of the local CORE chapter, says these two prob lems are "unalterably tied up." "You've got school segre gation as the result of a neigh borbood segregation," he says. Denies Intent to Segregate Education officials such as Jack P. Crowther, superinten dent of the Los Angeles school district, deny any intent to segregate schools on the basis of race. "The doors of our schools are open to all students, based on an orderly procedure call ing for the attendance of each st u d e n t to a prescribed school." ' Because of geographical segregation, there are some 50 schools which are virtual ly all Negro in enrollment. Gray and other CORE lead ers feel that desegregation in mmm mm GUARANTEED RENEWABLE HOSPITAL PLAN III THE HOSPITAL IH A CLINIC IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE OR AT YOUR HOME in Sickness TT TT TT Accidents l Surgery Doctor Calls SUPPORTED AND FINANCED BY OREGON PEOPLE FOR OREGONIANS Pay hospital expenses for room and board, nursing care, operating room, anesthetic, X-ray, laboratory, drugs, and dressings, oxygen equipment, maternity benefits, female diseases, hernia ruptures, appendicitis, tonsils, adenoids and other operations.
