THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER

PAGE THREE

Riots rock nation as summers end nears

The late summer racial violence flarred in several cities most of them brought on by confrontations of Negroes and police. The highest casualty toll was recorded in the Eastern Kentucky community' of Berea where a gun duel between a white supremacy organization and Negroes left two dead. Disturbances also erupted in St. Paul, Minn., and Newport News, Va., while riot-veteran Harlem was shaken again. Fourteen persons, including a National Freedom Rights Party head, are being held on murder charges £fter the violence in Berea. Facts released by authorities indicate the Party was ending a meeting in a vacant lot when three carloads of Negroes drove by and fired at the 20 whites

in the lot, killing Elza Rucker, 28, Lexington. The Party members rushed to cars, gave chase and a gunfight ensured. One of the shots killed George Boggs, a 32-year-old Negro. State police were summoned to quell the violence and the community is still being combed for more facts and suspects. One person is dead and several stores destroyed in Newport after an incident Sunday which began with the routine questioning of a woman allegedly halted for being drunk. It was late when Patrolman Garland J. Boswell, 29, approached a Negro woman outside of a movie theatre ahd attempted to arrest her on a drunken charge. In accounts released, he said

He was a janitor at the Church of the Living God. a gathering of some 15 Negroes hurled verbal insults during the confrontation and interferred with the arrest. Another patrolman, James F. Sims, arrived later to find Boswell unconscious on the sidewalk. Peach said a man stepped from the crowd with Boswell’s revolver and fired two shots at Sims as Sims approached the fallen patrolman. Sims then fired one shot, striking the man in the head, Peach said. The Negro has been identified as Floyd D. Price, 54, a Newport News longshoreman. About 20 minutes after the shooting small bands of Negroes began roaming the East Side neighborhood, looting and setting fires. In the ensuing melee, three stores were destroyed by fire and several by damage. Only one person was arrested and Police Chief W.F. Peach refused to impose a curfew. The violence had subsided by 5 a.m., the following day. St. Paul was reported quiet Sunday after a riot born at a teen-age dance. The disorders were apparently touched off when two off - duty patrolmen took a gun away from a youth they said was “waving a gun around’’ in a men’s washroom at the city auditorium Friday night. The policemen managed to hold off at gunpoint other youths they said had tried to attack them after they took the one teen-agers’ gun away. When the police arrived, dance attendants began hurling rocks, bottles and chairs. About 10 shots were fired. Saturday’s calm was short lived as violence exploded again Saturday night and 150 policemen were rushed to the Summit - University area which houses most of the city’s 10,000 Negroes. Nearly 150 policemen were able to restore peace but not before 52 persons, including four wounded police, were injured. Twelve persons were arrested. In Harlem, an off-duty New York Transit patrolman lost h^s life and two housing guards were seriously wounded Sunday in a shooting at a housing project.

New Bishop Armstrong leaves for new post

Northside youths nabbed in crime spree The police department reported last week-end the arrest of more than a dozen youths between the ages of 14 and 17 on charges including narcotic law violations, robbery, burglary and vehicle taking. Sgt. William Rapier, Juvenile Branch, stated that most of the crimes were committed later than 10:00 p.m. in the area bounded by 22nd, 16th andMeridian and College Ave. Sgt. Rapier said reports indicated, 10 car thefts,six burgalaries, 31 street robberies and two cases of vandalism. One robbery victim was shot, and several were beatened and cut by their assailants. Seemingly a “loose knit outfit of youthful gangs was responsible for the depredations Sgt. Rapier ventured. MISS PEGGY WEBB Funeral rites for Miss Pegby L. Webb, age 18, 546 W. 26th St., were held Saturday, Aug, 24 In Christ Missionary Baptist Church. She died Monday, Aug. 19 at 1711 Northwestern Ave. She was employed at General Hospital.

Indianapolis has lost one of its most dynamic and outspoken clergymen in the person of Rev. Dr. James A. Armstrong, who for 10 years served as pastor of the congregationally integrated Broadway United Methodist Church. The 43-year-old Dr. Armstrong whos jolting statements on subjects ranging from race, relations to commuhity involvement ofter gendered controversy, was elected bishop during the recent United Methodists' North Central Jurisdictional Conference at Peoria, 111. This precipitated he, hiswife and five children moving to Aberdeen, S.D., his headquarters, where is now bishop of the Dakotas Area which includes South Dakota and North Dakota. While serving at the 3200member church, he extended his pulpit zeal to the community where he was active on the executive committee of the Mayor’s Task Force on Community Relations, the Urban League, the Community Service Council, the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee and the Steering Committee of “Bonders for Peace.’*
