USAF Photo Soviets Rap China Again MOSCOW iUPl - The Soviet Union accused Communist China today of advocating racist policies aimed at dividing the world on the basis of color. An article in the official Com munist party newspaper Pravda said the Peking regime's ap- proacn on racial questions is ra ther in accord with the spirit of the time" of the 13th-century Mongol despot Genghis Khan. j nc arucie. written ny com mentator K. Nepomnyaschi of the official Novosti news agency, was the latest Soviet attack on Peking in the deepening Sino-Soviet quar rel over ideological and political differences. The Soviet press lias been full of such attacks in re cent years. The Communist Chinese have expressed support for the Negro cause in the United States and have sought to identify the Amer ican Negro's struggle for equal rights with the internationl Com munist movement. Today's Pravda article fol lowed recent indications the Red Chinese arc using race relations to appeal to have-not nations in Asia, Africa and Latin America in their struggle with both the West and Russia. LB I R fl It mmm nnnmnfi r roves Important To Centers EDITOR S NOTE: What kind of city will civil rights demon slratori find when they stage their "March on Washington" Wednesday. The following dis patch reports on the capital's racial situation. Bv LOUIS CASSELS WASHINGTON (ITI '-March ing on Washington to call atten tion to racial problems is like carrying coals to Newcastle. The nation's capital already lias plenty of racial problems of its own. It is the only U. S. citv in v hich Negroes outnumber whites Its 456,000 Negro and 344.000 white residents live vear-round in acute awareness of the tensions that buiid up in a city when it desegregates at a rate generally considered too slow by one race and too fast by the other. Ten years ago. ashington was a city w ith segregated schools and public facilities. Today. Negroes enjoy unrestrict ed access to hotels, restaurants. theaters and other public accom modations. To refuse service to any person because of his race is a crime punishable bv law. The public school svstcm has been completely integrated since 11I54. Washington's principal industry the federal government, hires and promotes without regard to race. About three-fourths of the resi dentiul areas within the district of Columbia boundaries are oc cupied predominantly or cxclu sively by Negroes. Judge Gunnar Will Hear Case Judge Peter Gunnar of the Oregon Tax Court will sit in Klam ath County Oct. 18 and 19 to hear the case of Paul and Evelyn McAtee vs. the Stale Tax Com mission. The McAtees arc protesting a deficiency assessment against them by the commission lor the tax vcar ending Dee. 31, 10. To white residents, the change has been dizzy fast. They grumble about Negroes "taking over" the city. And they blame Negroes for the high rate of aggravated as saults, robberies and other crimes which have made it unsafe to walk the streets of the capital at night. To Negroes, the barriers which have fallen are less conspicuous than the formidable ones which still remain. They grumble about the informal but effective con spiracy between lending institu tions and real estate interests which keeps them from obtaining homes in the all-white suburbs. and compels them to pay out rageous prices for overcrowded housing in the inner city. They blame discrimination for the fact that Negro incomes average only 70 per cent of white incomes, and Negro youths arc four times as likely to be unemployed as white uulhs. De.-pite their frictions and mutual re.-enlmenls. Washington's whites and Negroes have one great common bond. Both are frightened by the possibility that accumulated tensions might blow off in a major race riot. This specter has haunted the city since last Tlianksgiving day. when 300 persons were injured in a Negro-w hite melee which broke out in the U. C. stadium follow ing a football game. Kear of a race riot has made resKinsible Negro leaders chary of resorting to such weapons as mas sive sit-ins or picketing demon strations Iwre. And it has made responsible while leaders aware that tliere is no time to lose in removing tile remaining road b'ocks to equality of opportunity. It has also made both groups a little nervous about Wednes day's "March on Washington. That's why Negro leaders have been at such pains o insure an orderly, peaceful rally.

TU 4-7039 1721 Main NEW YORK 'UPI'-Thosc lights which burn into the evening over the shopping center parking lots have a corresponding glow in the balance sheets of the stores aiound them, a new survey re ports. The International Council of Shopping Centers ilCSC here has released a management report, dealing with the profitability of night operations and based on responses from 2-to centers. The reasons for the customers' desire for night shopping opportu nities is, of course, a diflerent story. The trek to the suburbs in metropolitan areas; the increas ing use of the automobile and the rking problems it has entailed; the usual consumer's or house wife's preference for doing most of the shopping in one package, all have helped. But the ICSC survey said that night openings in shopping centers have growing importance to t h e eekly gross sales volume fig ures. More than one-third, or 37.7 per cent of them, estimate that a half to three-fourths of their weekly volume is done between fi p.m. and closing, usually at 9 p.m. Another 36.7 per cent estimated ihat 30 to 50 per cent of their total gross sales could be attrib uted to evening-hour openings. The remaining 25.6 per cent said night sales represented 5 to 25 per cent of the total gross. Of the responding stores, only one per cent said they had no night openings, and 36.7 per cent were open six nights a week.
