Racial Unrest
Across Nation
Causes Riot
Prison Still Tense
®@ Says Warden; Inmates
Permitted Any Books
Racial unrest headlined across
nation is believed responsible for
the brief outbreak of violence at
Chase Correctional Institute last
week.
Authorities said ringleaders were
members of the Black Muslim cult,
existence of which was unsuspected
at the local institution. They would
not say just how they knew.
Five hundred inmates were at
breakfast Tuesday morning last
week when a convict suddenly at-
tacked a guard. Others sprang in-
to the melee, hurling dinner trays
and utensils and assaulting prison
personnel.
Captain of the Guard, Frank
Parker and five members of his
staff were injured in the few mo-
ments between the start of the riot
and its sudden cessation.
None of the injured needed hos-
pitalization and despite the fury
of the attack, very little damage
, Was done to the prison building.
Maximum security measures were
placed in force and ten inmates,
@ nine Negro and one white, placed
in solitary confinement. Approxi-
mately twenty men took part in
the uprising. The situation con-
tinues to remain tense with offi-
cials on the alert for future trouble.
A year ago last May, a fight de-
veloped at the Jackson rehabilita-
tion center, according to Superin-
tendent Frank C. Johnston, ag in-
mates were watching ‘a movie.
Superintendent Johnston stated
“No segregation is allowed at the
state correctional institute and there
is no censorship of newspapers,
magazines or radio broadcasts.”
His answer concerning censor-
ship was in response to questions
trying to determine whether or not
Muslim literature might not be
leaking into the prison.
Pertaining to segregation, the
Muslim movement preaches strict
segregation of blacks and whites,
based on teachings of black su-
aR ini Fe
Theoretically, Muslims do not be-
lieve in aggression, but undergo
their rigid training, physical and
spiritual, in order to defend them-
selves from others, namely whites.
An excellent study of the move-
ment appeared recently in Life
magazine.
Johnston said the instigators are
“hard core” malcontents who would
embrace any cause and use it as a
protest against imprisonment.
Nine hundred and seventeen men
make up the population of Chase
Correctional Institute, thirty six per-
cent of which are Negro. Very few
participated in last week's riot.
Superintendent Johnston disclos-
ed, “Many of the inmates are mak-
ing an earnest effort to earn their
way back to society.”
He termed the incident of the
man named Willy Green found
wandering, about the vicinity at the
time of the riot entirely unrelated
to it.
“The man was just a tramp who
happened to be in the area and
contributed in no way to the dis-
turbance,” said Johnston.

Council Passes Juvenile Curfew;
Local Fine Killed In Amendment
Borough solicitor Robert Fleming | knowingly permit their children to

violate the ordinance, are subject
posed curfew on juveniles under | to action by the -Juvenile Court
18 after the hour of 10 p.m., and
passed. the ordinance on third. read-
ing at an adjournea meeting Tues-
day night.
All questions raised by the mayor
at last meeting concerning ostensi-:
ble contradictions were cleared up
by solicitor, with one change be-
cause of local custom.
Change was: Provision for fine
to be imposed on youthful viola-
tors was removed, since Juvenile
Court does not recognize the right
of a local magistrate to fine young- |
sters.
In effect the penalty is now stif-
fer, since all cases, including those
which might have been brushed
off with a small fine, will now be
referred to the court.
The law now is, or will be as
soon as it is legally advertised, that
any juvenile under 18, without
written word from his parents that
he or she is on an errand for them,
or is proceeding to or from a recog-
nized scholastic, social, or athletic
event, is violating the ordinance
and may be subject to petition for
commitment to Juvenile Court by
local officials.

| also, according to the law. Solici=
| ic explained . this provision: which
| was questioned at last meeting as
follows: Juvenile Act of 1933 ap-
parently meant to give that court
total jurisdiction over Juvenile
cases, including involvement of par-
ents or adults.
Another provision questioned at
last meeting, that permitting police,
mayor or magistrate to ‘“‘commit”
the juvenile himself, without con-
sulting Juvenile Officer first, was
shown to be legal by solicitor, al-
though it" is not practice in this
county.
Juvenile Act permits such ‘“‘com-
mitment”, but, as a practical mat-
ter, Fleming explained, in all but
the most dire cases, the court does
not favor hasty action, but prefers
that the local officials consult them
first.
As to the last question raised by
Mayor Thomas Morgan at the last
meeting, pertaining tp the curfew,
namely: that the exceptions named
(written permission, etc.) do not
apply if the juvenile is unneces-
sarily ‘‘standing, loitering, or'park-
ing” in the borough, even if ac-

Ruction Heads
Discuss Plans
For July Event
One More Session
Set For June 27
At Country Club
Auction chairmen thrashed out a
number of problems Monday night
at a meeting held at the home of
General Chairmen Robert Fleming,
including the ever-present question
of allocation of space. Grounds are
limited in area, bidders must have
space to congregate, and booths
necessarily fringe the edges of the
lot on Lehman Avenue.
Ziba Smith, chairman of grounds,
said arrangements will be much the
same as last year, with Arts Booth
up on the hill at the rear. Ziba
plans to start erection of frame-
work this weekend.
James Post plugged for a smor-
gasbord instead of a barbeque, a
suggestion unanimously favored as
eliminating complaints about slow
service and wastage. It is set for
Thursday night, July 11, starting
at 5, with auctiomeering to begin
at 7:30, and booths to open at 6.
Bob Bachman said experienced
auctioneers would stagger ‘their
hours of duty to insure quick sales
and no slowing down. Auctioneer-
ing will start at noon on Friday,
and at 10 Saturday, when for two
hours children will have their own
auction. Midnight is the closing
hour for all three nights.
Mrs. Howard Risley has donated
a Windsor bench to the amtique
committee. Stefan Hellersperk has
mended the antique cleverly, and
Mrs. Paul Gross is decorating it in
Early American motif for a featured
attraction.
Erie Gay has already obtained
the Auction car, a two-door Valiant,
now down at Duke Isaac's.
New faces at the Auction booths
this year will imclude Miss Eliza-
beth Ryder, librarian, who will head
the Book display. She and her staff
are already sorting out books for
the sale.
Bobby Smith has some new plans
for the Art Booth, including possible
demonstration of ceramics.
New Goods Committee under
Merrill Faegenburg is perking right
along, and Dallas Senior and Junior
Woman's @lubs have refreshment
and “candy pooths wrdér eontrol.
Si Chadwick is away, so unable
to take the Plants and Produce.
Club relocated some stuff in the
Barn last week, but there is lots
to move before deliveries of ma-
terials can be received with comfort.
‘John Butler will be away at ‘Auc-
tion time, so his Explorer Scouts
will opérate under direction of his
lieutenant Jim McCoog.
Shel Evans promises pomy rides
for the kids, and plenty of puppies
for the auction block. Frank Hutt-
man reports that radio and tele-
visiom ‘stations are alerted and will
cooperate.
Posters will be distributed next
week.
Reports from general solicitation
will be given by Claire Owens June
27, when chairmen amd co-chair-
men. will gather at Irem Country
Club at 8, as guests of David
Schooley, president of the Library
Association.
Federal Number
Becoming 333
Sunday Morning
Direct Dialing Plan
Will Be Introduced
At. The Same Time
Direct Distance Dialing will be in-
troduced in Commonwealth Tele-
phone Company’s Center Moreland
exchange Sunday morning, June 16,
at 3:01 (EDST).
J. N. Landis, district manager,
noted that subscribers in this ex-
tion-to-station calls direct to more
than nine thousand communities
throughout the United States and
Canada. Such calls as person-to-
person, collect calls, coin box calls
and others requiring special hand-
ling will continue to be made by
operators.
At the same time as the intro-
duction of Direct Distance Dialing,
new numbers will be introduced.
Center Moreland’s FEderal numbers
will become 333 followed by four
other digits. Known as ‘All Number
Calling, the seven digit system is
rapidly being introduced
monwealth's system.
Ceincerning All Number Calling,
Landis said, ‘Compared with the
letter-plus number system, seven-
figure numbers increase by almost
50 per cent the telephone numbers
possible with seven turns of the dial.
This is because some of the avail-
able letter combinations just won't
fit any central office name telephone
people can think of. The seven
digit system avoids these limitations
and makes all dial combinations
usable as telephone numbers.”
