Weaver of the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop ment warned that riots must not be allowed to block prog ress toward civil rights. “There is a great danger,” he told the National Associa tion of Real Estate Brokers in San Francisco, “that in this emotional climate, we may be diverted from the fundamental efforts to rebuild and recreate our urban areas,” He added: “If we are di verted from the efforts that would eradicate the tensions, the tragedy will not be for black or white, rich or poor, central city or surburb, but a tragedy for the entire nation.” Secretary Weaver said the causes of violence in cities are not new. “These eruptions represent the harvest we are reaping to day from failures of many gen erations,” he said, and he ob served: “The tragic lesson of this unhappy summer, and the past few unhappy summers, is not that we have a new condi tion before us r but that we have old conditions that have not yet been sufficiently realized.” The nation is capable of doing whatever is necessary to solve urban problems, the Secretary said, but the evidence of wheth er “there truly is national com mitment to do so is sometimes ominous and frightening.” He cited recent Congression al decisions that “cut deeply” into the Model Cities Program,, “wiped out our hopes” for ex panding the Rent supplement Program, and rejected a Rat Extermination Program without even a vote. Secretary Weaver told the real estate brokers that hous lag discrimination still stands (See RIOTS MVBT, i» t} Hopeful Signs In Riots' W&ke WASHINGTON (NPI) - Two hopeful signs of racial peace have appeared in the w«ake of the rioting that struck scores of cities from coast to coast. First, the number of cities erupting in violence was small er than in previous weeks. And second, preoccupation with the riots was drawing out occupa tion with them.
