Racial Situatio
n In Calif.
Described As ‘Explosive’
LOS ANGELES (AP) — California Governor's cormpmission said here
The |shared with seven eastern US. | McCone cities racked by Negro riots in
1964, the commission said,
serious and so explosive’ is the were:
situation in the wake of sum- mer Negro rioting that “unless it is checked, the August riots may seem by comparison to be enly a curtain-raiser for what eould blow up one day in the fu- ture."
The’ commission, called the rioting ‘‘an explosion—formless, quite senseless, all but hope- less,violent protest.”
The report, recom mended “expensiv: -and burdensome” programs to prevent a repeti- tion of the six days’ terror that) left 34 persons dead and $40;-' 000,000 property damage. i
Focus of the devastation was) the community of Watts, eight! miles south of downtown Los Angeles, where fire - bombing rioters burned two blocks of | buildings. Ultimately, national ' guardsmen ocgupied 46% square miles of@the city before order was restored.
Eight leading citizens headed by John McCone, former head of the US. Atomic Energy Commission and Central Intel- | ligence Agency said they found: |
+Not enough jobs, especially |
for untrained Negroes.
NOT ENOUGH SCHOOLING | —Not enough schooling de-| signed for disadvantaged Ne- | gro children.
—A resentment, even hatred | of the police, as the symbol | of authority.” Intensifying
AIR BUSES SUGGESTED
VANCOUVER (CP)— Gi- ant air busses carrying 600 passengers may be a reality within 10 years, the presi- dent of Canadian Pacific Airlines said here.
J. C. Gilmer told a meet- ing of the Vancouver Board of Trade the company's plans for 1967 include in- troduction of stretched DC-8s capable of carrying 240 passengers. Fare reduc- tions of 10 to 15 cent “might well be fistitied” with these planes. ;
‘Beyond these stretched jets there is the further
‘prospect of the transforma- tion of military troop -car- tiers into giant air buses eapable of carrying 600 or more. passengers,"’ he said.
“It is quite within the
bounds of. possibility that
|
these problems, |
euch aircraft could be avail- able in the early 1970's, in which event the effect on » fare levels could be most spectacular.” | Text of Mr. Gilmer’s ad- dress was released in ad- | vance. . |
Crop Sales Outlook
Discussed

OTTAWA (CP)—The federa!- |
provincial agricultural - outlook } eonference heard government reports on sales prospects of a
variety of special crops. In the current crop year, po- | tato exports are unlikely to

The report found: Police Chief |§
William H. Parker “a man dis- trusted by most Negroes’’ but recognized even by critics as a capable chief. Lieutenant Anderson ‘hesitated when he should have acted” on Parker's
request for the national guard | to quell the riots. ii
To remedy “the sickness 1 the centre of our city,” the com- mission recommended:

—"A new costly approach to educating the Negro child . *. @M emergency program” including verbal and language classes for three- and four- _ year + olds. The commission said the average fifth-grade student in Watts and other disadvantaged areas scored a reading vocabulary ranking of 20—compared with am average 81 in advantaged areas—and apparently can't ‘‘make use of reading and writting for ordi- nary pruposes in his daily

—That the board of police commissioners be strength- ened.
The report said of the actual riot:
“In-the ugliest interval, which emg. aii66404006:00)
lasted from Thursday through Saturday, perhaps as many as 10,000 Negroes took to the streets in marauding bands. “They looted_stores,_set_fires, beeat up white passersby whom they hauled from stopped cars, many of which were turned. up- side down and burned, ex- changed shots with law enforce- ment officers and stoned and
