The influx of Cubans and other Hispanics, par ticularly in the south and midwest, who compete with Blacks for available jobs. There is a growing feel ing among Blacks that riots in inner cities are possible this summer, Tortorello noted, although this feeling is held by less than a third of the polling sample. In a just-conducted survey, 27 percent of the total sample expressed the opinion that there could be rioting in their communities this summer, compared with 20 percent who felt that way in the poll taken last fall. Tortorello pointed out that the budget cuts pro posed by the Reagan ad ministration would. in New York State alone, eliminate hundreds of millions of dollars in food stamps, Medicaid, day care pro grams, education grants, anti-poverty funds, federal housing grants and public transit assistance. In addition, 13,500 federally funded CETA jobs are to be phased out in New York in the next year. The survey found that the number of Black Americans who think rioting is unlikely this sum mer was 54 percent, down from the 58 percent. The number of those who were unsure dropped from 22 percent last summer to 19 percent in the recent poll. The view that rioting is likely this summer was strongest among Blacks in the 18-29 age group (32 per cent), those with less than a high school diploma (29 percent), those with annual incomes below $15,000 ( 30 percent), and those in the east (31 percent) and midwest (56percent).
