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.

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.

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.
