Br JOSEPH A. ST. 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
