As two police officers prepared to arrest a drunk and disorderly person, another man intervened. Others joined in and helped him escape from the police car. Tempers flared and scores of persons rushed into the street from inside the numerous taverns located within a block. They shouted and threw rocks and bottles at the policemen. * Before other policemen could answer the emergency call f one of the policemen was injured. The police car was damaged , too. As other policemen arrived at the scene, the crowd dispersed. Although the crowd was in an angry mood : no one was seriously injured. The men rep resenting law and order should be commend | ed for expertly handling such a mob. The l slightest wrong move could have caused » bloodshed and needless mauling and maiming. Too many notorious acts have been hap pening in the vicinity of 24th and East Broad \ way. Wanton killings, senseless shootings , bloody fighting and now thwarting police actions have been brought about by the : “closed eyes and closed consciences ” of j liquor control officials. This area has more taverns in less than a block than some entire mile square areas. It is the main thoroughfare where young children must pass going to school or the 1 store. Women hesitate to wait for the bus at this comer. On the weekends , one can hardly drive past for the mass of people : running across the busy street. Law and order did come to 24th Street : when this part of the South Phoenix area was annexed 9 but law and order must be upheld by everyone. Why are there no outcries by the resi dents who are disgraced by these activi ties ? Where are the incensed citizens who are always ready to object to some phase of discrimination or segregation? ■ FREE!! ™° TOS HAVING A CLUB MEETING, W CHURCH AFFAIR, SCHOOL tm Kj FLAY , BIRTHDAY OR A WEDDING RECEPTION? m l\fn/\ CALL BR. 6-2301.

Liv. ing in Phoenix, Arizona, gives one ample time to forget the sights and sounds of one's youth. Familiar things recess into the subconscious and they linger and get covered with webs of nos talgia. As the train pulled into the city limits of the nation's cap ital, I watched the fleeting scenes of gray blots of snow falling from rooftops. I saw no snowball glad iators bravely attacking enemies. Nor did I view one old gentle man's hat being pelted with snow balls. Several children were lined decorously on the walks await ing rides for school, but gone was the impish spark of fight ing with snow. I watched them for a long while as the train slowed and headed toward the first stop. Several communters left and we made our way to the down town terminal within a few min utes. Train stations resemble each other. Those in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, New York, Penn slyvania and Arizona, have sev eral common denominators. All are transient homes of thou sands of homeless wanderers. Wanderers who are away from their dwelling places out of de sire or debacle. Som sight see ing, others traveling because of misfortune. Some seeking for tunes, others spending fortunes. Travelers coming or going, but all moving. Ed was feeling like last week's left-over cheese omelet. He was half In this world and three quar ters out. Even a steady diet of Alka Seltzers had failed to ease his abdominal pains. Once or twice I asked him about his appendix. He had undergone an appendectomy many years ago in his homeland when the first rays of socialized medicine had been started In England. I had forgotten he had none, but in my haste to act as nurse and companion-all kinds of conver sation was used. As a porter helped us dis embark from the train, he no ticed that Ed was looking ill. He was sollcitious and was very quick to get us on the ground floor. We rode the luggage and freight elevator with him. Ed was now sagging at the knees but he kept a stiff upper lip. I managed to get him seated and went to the drug store sec tion. Getting my usual supplies of Kleenex and Alka Seltzers, took enly a few moments. For a minute t smiled to myself. These two American products would long be remembered by me. 1 vowed at the time to buy a case of eqch when we returned home. Ed felt better and we caught a taxi to the House of Repre sentatives office building. Ed had talked previously to Congress man John J, Rhodes, our rep resentative and friend from Dis trict One of Arizona. Upon arriving, he looked at my spouse and announced he would get something to help him. A call to the dispensary brought the delivery of a small bottle of medicine which eased Ed’s disorder. 1 was wondering what new medical approach would be used by the doctors and drug gists who keep our nations law makers fit. One glance at the label on Ed's bottle quieted my curiosity. It was a simple so lution of paregoric, one of the best known grandmother reme dies. Ed felt much better and after greeting everyone In Rep. Rhodes office, we were escorted down to the coffee shop by Dr. Arthur Lee, die representative's admin- Views,Previews*. Reviews EDWARD BANKS CIVIL WAR ENDS -RECONSTRUCTION BEGINS The end of fighting between Union and Confederacy troops was a time for rejoicing, little did people realize that the wounds caused by die "Civil war would take more than a century to heal. The entire social and economic and political structure of the South had fallen. Families were uprooted and often divided because of the war. Overnight rich landowners had become impoverished. Former slaves now refused to work. Others couldn’t find work. The poor white workers resented landholders and ex-slaves. On April 9, 1865, U. S. Grant accepted the surrender of Robert Lee at Appamatox. Little had been planned for the reconstruction of die South. Nothing had been planned for die freed slaves who were left homeless and jobless. Whatever plans President Lincoln might have formulated, the fatal bullet from John Wilkes Booth's gun, stilled'him on April 17th. Radical Republicans were determined to treat the South as a conquered country. They intended to keep it under military con trol. Lincoln, on the other hand had wanted all confederate lead ers to receive amnesty. Andrew Johnson, the mild man who became president after Lincoln's death wanted to continue this plan but he couldn't win support. The views of more radical members of Congress were followed. As the new governments were formed in the South, strict control was placed in the hands of federal administrators. As the southern states reorganized they passed "Black codes'* which took away the rights of the Negroes granted in the 13th, 14th and 15th admen ments. The thirteenth had ended slavery, the fourteenth granted civil rights to all citizens, and the fifteenth had given Negroes the right to vote. Federal troops occupied the South and they remained there until 1877. From 1866 to 1871, the Ku Klux Klan gained strength in the South. Under the guise of restoring southern importance and protecting white supremacy, the Klan flogged and hanged hundreds of Negroes. Diring this period several Negroes served as state senators and representatives. Hiram R. Revels, a Methodist minister from Mis sissippi became the first NegroU.S.Senator in 1870. Another Negro, Blanche K. Bruce rose from the House of Representatives to the U. S. Senate. Twenty Negroes served in the House of Representatives in Washington from 1870 to 1901. (Next week—Freedmen’s Bureau) istrative assistant, who is now serving as an aids to Governor Paul Fannin, y We drank a couple of pots of hot tea and chatted for nearly a half hour. We were tired from the long walks from one section of the building to another. Mar ble floors and stone casements may be things of beauty but they are painful paths for tired feet. I suggest to anyone planning to visit Washington, should take a pair of sneakers with them. Rep. John Rhodes took us on a tour of the House of Repre sentative Building. We saw stat ues of famous men and several unknown figures. Each state can "have the statue of one person representing it there. We ran into Senator Carl Hayden and Senator Stuart Symington after we had been wandering around in the Senate chambers. Ed and I talked with Rep. Charles Hal leck of Indiana for a few min utes, too. Several groups of people were touring the area and the gallery was filled with interested on lookers. We didn't stay in the gallery for long because we were hungry and lunch time was near. We entered a large restaurant reserved for representatives, Mr. Rhodes smiled and told us that the senatorial eating room was much more luxurious. A waiter took our orders very quickly as we read the selec tions from a printed menu. The menu showed a variety of items, ranging from fruit cups, choco late sundaes, braised ox joints to ham sandwiches, coleslaw, skim milk and Bromo-Seltzer. A perennial favorite, bean soup with recipe was heralded on the back page. This soup had been served since the days of Joe Cannon. It had been a daily item fpr many year a. 1 was surprised at the prices. The highest dish, broiled sir loin steak with French fried po tatoes cost only $2.50. For ninety cents one could dine like a U.S. Government official sees After lunch Ed and 1 visited the office of Rep. William Daw son, of Illinois. We spoke with his secretary and several others from Chicago.. Later we visited Senator Barry Goldwater's office in the beau tiful Senate Building. He was busy preparing to leave for a speaking engagement at Fordham University. We talked with him and his staff for a short while. His office walls are full of Ari zona memorabilia. Trophies adorn his cabinet and a colorful mural of one of the state's beauty spots covers an entire section. Ed looked at his watch and noticed that time was winning the race as usual. We never had enough time to do all of die things we wanted to do. No matter how flexible the sched ule, when the minute hand moves swiftly from one mark to the other—time really flies. We had just enough time to wish Rep. Rhodes, Dr. Arthur Lee and of fice personnel goodby. We were lucky and hailed a cab quickly. It was nearly dusk as we ap proached the airport. Both of us were exhausted but we were happy to know that within a few hours we would be back home again in Indiana.
