The Guardian, Charlottetown, Wed., Dec. 8, 1965. 1] 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 7) 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 reach the previous year's level | when 4,000,000 hundredweight of | table stock and seed were) Recent strong U.S. demand | has slackened bul requirements: in. Europe and. Western Hemis- | phere countries normally sup- plied from Europe may take up eome of the slack. | Export sales of most pro- cessed vegetables are expected to remain constant. Market for | —An exploding Negro popu- lation up nearly tenfold from 75,000 in 1940 to 650,000 in 1965.

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: | | i \ - Governor Glenn jj —‘Co-operative programs for/|¥ ifti employment .and training, participated in by the|§ Negro community, govern mental agencies, employers and organized labor." wae en APPROACH —"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 e" : —Appointment of an “inspec- tor-general''' in the police de- partment, “under the author- ity of the chief of police but outside the chain of com- mand,”’ to investigate citizen com ts —"That law enforce ment fes place greater em- asis on their responsibilities for crime prevention as af _, essential element of the law enforcement task,’ and —'‘That they institute im- proved means for handling citizen. complaints and com- munity relationships.” —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 |shot at firemen.” acerca NOW OPEN Repairs on all Electrical Appliances Reasonable Rates Phone 4-5113 or Apply 137 Upper Queen lcci wedding invoices, statements and all Stationery, invitations, frozen vegetables in Britain is improving. *, Total honey exports in 1965 | may exceed 5,000,000 pounds and demand for the Canadian pro- duct in Britain is expected to remain high.
