Discussions centered on President’s riot report

Tips on keeping pets

Discussions on and off Capitol Hill this past week have concentrated on the President's riot commission report on last summer's outbreaks which resulted in 85 deaths, 3,200 injuries and more than $100 million in property damage. As I feared from the outset of the commission investigation the 250,000 word study put the blame for the riots on everyone except the rioters. Among the causes of the riots the commission noted that “frustrated hopes are the residue of the unf u 1 f i 11 e d expectations aroused by the great judicial and legislative victories of the civil rights movement.” What the commission did not, mention was the inflated prom-

ises of the Administration’s War on Poverty which greatly added to the dangerous expectation that the evils of centuries could be overcome overnight. One thing worse than not keeping a promise is making a promise that cannot possibly be kept. The commission rightly sounded a note of urgency, and it rightly pictured the task ahead in the cities’ slums as massive. But it would be unrealistic to raise hoes that the vast programs the commission proposed might all be done at once. It is a disservice to suggest to the residents of these slums that they need only wait for Federal Housing, Federal jobs and Federally-guaranteed income.

The 11-member Presidential panel asked for creation of 550,OOC jobs and 600,000 housing units this year. They also called for a guaranteed income for every U.S. family, full-year schooling for slum children and an overhaul of the welfare system. The report goes on to criticize Congress for not approving j more funds in the Administration’s War on Poverty programs. What it does not point out are the massive expenditures which Congress has approved during the last eight years. While I do not mean to suggest I voted for or supported all of the programs approved by the majority party in Congress, it is a fact the federal government has committed some $24.6 bil-

lion in the current fiscal year in aid to the poor. In the Johnson budget for fiscal year 1969, the Administration has requested funds totaling about $27.7 billion. These totals rather dramatically show the rapid growth of Federal aid to the poor in rural areas and in the cities alike. These are only Federal funds; there will be billions additional in state and local funds. It would seem apparent that the promise of more spending is not the solution to the widespread rioting and lawlessness which we have experienced in the last three years. We should not underestimate the seriousness of the problems facing the poverty stricken or the potential threat they pose to

the stability of our nation. But neither should we underestimate the means we have of countering that threat. The Administration should make it clear to those who threaten more riots that they cannot hope to carry out their threats without coming face to face with the power of the government. More than almost any of the great issues facing America today the problem of race requires a careful balance and a clear perspective. Unfortunately, there has been a definite lack of strong and effective leadership during this grave period in our nation s history. We are moving forward and moving rapidly. What we need is

an administration which is strong and determined to uphold and enforce the laws with vigor. Congress is already spending at an unprecedented rate. Once order is restored, then jobs, housing, and all the better things of life will follow.

GAME OF NO CHANCE MILWAUKEE, Wis. UPI - Eighteen men and five women rounded up at a gambling house during the weekend were charged with being inmates of a gambling house. Judge Christ T. Seraphim added insult to injury when he pointed out the dice were loaded and the roulette table was fixed.

—Don’t take your pets to the roof for exercise. —If you are a cat fancier, keep the number of feline occupants down to one or two. When there are a large number of cats all under one apartment roof, an odor problem can arise. —Keep your dog away from | the outside wall of the building. Most buildings use some form of repellent to discourage soiling but nothing is more effective than a master who will not permit his pup to pull him over to the first inviting edifice. —Take your dog for a walk at least once every six hours. One of the most common tenant complaints is of a howling dog that has been locked in by his owner who expected to be back

within a few hours, changes his plans and leaves the dog for an entire day and part of the evening. Buchbinder says some tenants go away for a weekend, set out some food for the dog and leave him on his own in the apartment. When such a situation is discovered such a mnt tion is discovered the A.S.P.C.A. is called annd appropriate actioin taken against the owner. —Don’t try to keep too large a pet in your apartment. A very large dog is not suited for apartment living, riding on elevators and the confinement of close quarters. —Don’t ask the doorman to walk you dog. His responsibility is to stay on duty at the door and anything that takes him away from that is disservice to all tenants. —If your pet should accidentally soil the lobby, elevators or corridors in the building, be sure to tell someone— don’t forget about it. For your own protection you should be sure your pet does no damage in your ipartment because you standn to lose the security deposited with the landlord when you out. Respect the rights of other tenants. If you use conmon sense and consideratioin in your actions, no one is liko’y to object to your having a pc..

Varsaw police 5attle rioters

WARSAW UPI — Polish riot lolice fought civilians and >ouths in the streets of Warsaw londay in the third day of unest. University students who had clashed previously with police were not involved today. Thousands of youths and curious bystanders burned newspapers outside the university gates and shouted and cheered. Inside the students were holding meetings with university officials. Police showed marked restraint for about two hours before using tear gas to disperse the crowds repeatedly they asked the crowds to go home and keep the peace; when they did not the police finally charged. The newspapers burned today said a “few score” persons had been jailed or fined for their oart in student clashes with police Friday and Saturday. One newspaper blamed the street volence on Jewish youth. A show of force by riot police and the appearance of the civilian worker’s militia dispersed the crowds but only for a few minutes. One groupu of youngsters armed with stones, bricks and rubber truncheons taunted police adn then battled them on the steps of a churfch. Other skirmishes broke out, some involving older peolpe, and police used clubs and tear gas against them. A convoy of police trucks moving two abreast dirverted traffic from the area.
