RIOT STUDIES SAID
LOOKING BACKWARD
INSTEAD OF FORWARD
WASHINGTON - Do the riot studies that
are virtually becoming a national pastime
amount to "locking the barn door after the
horse has gone?*’
That possibility is being considered in the
nation's capital; whore government oil'iclals
are concerned that the nation may become
sc obsessed-with studying violonce that this
country will have little time to do anything
about it.
One typical characteristic of the many vio

Delegates
WASHINGTON - Black repre

the Democratic and Republican
conventions threatens to be
come a divisive issue that could
turn the conventions into a
shambles.
Other issues, such as peace,
Vietnam, poverty, and even ci
vil rights, are likely to.play
second fiddle to the dominant
question of delegation integra

Delegates' walkouts, at
tempts to unseat all-white de
legations, and clashes between
rival delegations can be ex
pected at both conventions. And
behind all the turmoil will be
this nation’s age-old, unsolved
racial problem.
At first, the question of de
legation integration centered on
the Mississippi .contingent,
which, for the first time in
many years, was, "integrated"
with a token number of black
delegates.

from that delegation set the
