"Makings of riot" a dub on a near Eastside scene

Ten squad cars, two dog teams and a deputy sheriff answered the call last Sunday night of Patrolman William W. White for help near Broadway and 17th Street. Patrolman White sent out an emergency call for help about 8:00 p.m. after he had tried to arrest three

men. He said he stopped their car because it did not display any license plate. A scuffle ensued before he radioed for help. A crowd of about 20 youths, neighborhood residents, gathered on the scene. According to reports they had been attending a dance at the nearby

Broadway Christian Center. Eventually, tension mounted as the crowd increased to about threescore persons, it was reported. The scuffle involved three Negro men and Patrolman White, a white policeman. A situation of tension followed in the course of incidents. Many people in the predominantly Negro neighborhood complained that as usual only white policemen answered the call or were sent out. “Tension is very high in the neighborhood because they keep sending in only white policemen,” Ben Bell stated. Mr. Bell, 30. 1650 Broadway is a member of the Neighborhood Improvement Assn, and a former recreation director of the Broadway Center. Leon Wade, 30, is a founder and president of the Neighborhood Improvement Assn, and also a member of the Indianapolis War on Poverty Program. He supported contentions of Mr. Bell. MR. BELL said that, of the several policemen sent to the scene, “only one was a Negro and he was a deputy sheriff who left the scene soon afterwards. “Tension is building up, its getting next to the people ... I don’t understand how they think the white policemen can enforce the law here when they don’t understand the problems and the people. That’s what caused the Los Angeles riots. “If it keeps up like this something’s going to break, Bell avers. Wade ,an active and prom-

inent member of the Neighborhood Improvement Assn., vehemently declared, “. . . The people want to know why the police department does not send in Negro policemen. The incident of present concern could very well have caused a riot. We ask them year after year to serve us with Negro policemen and nothing has happened.” In very recent weeks, Chief of Police Noel Jones is reported as saying the department is trying to hire qualified Negro recruits for the department. But seemingly the responses have not been in keeping anticipations of the department. George W. White, 44, 1544 Carrollton one of the men who figured in the incident was arrested. Two other men Involved in the scuffle escaped police report. Police held White on a preliminary charge of vehicle theft, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, having no operator’s license and having no registration or improper license plates. James H. Edwards Funeral services for James H. Edwards, 1423 Columbia, were held Sept. 8 in the King & King Funeral Home, with burial in New Crown Cemetery. Mr. Edwards died at Marion County General Hospital. Survivors include, one son Dwight Edwards, his mother, Mrs. Jimmie Mae Edwards; four brothers, John Ferdinand, Walter and Michael Edwards, and two sisters, Mrs. Grace E.
