Apparently so, says a report issued by the National Com mission on the Causes and Pre vention of Violence, which in dicates that the riots which took 11 lives in Cleveland last July may have ‘‘marked the begin ning of a new pattern” in civil disorders. According to the report, the Cleveland incident, unlike pre vious racial clashes, “began as person-oriented violence, (with) Blacks and whites shoot ing at each other, snipers a gainst cops. "And apparently alone a mong major outbreaks of racial violence in America history, it ended in more white casual ties than Black,” the report said, adding. “Though the white victims were policemen, attacks as symbols of the white society rather than as men, the mode of vengeance had taken a sign ificant step beyond damage to wtiite -owned businesses.” According to the report, “A small well-equipped army of Black ex t r e m is t s wa s re (Seo VIOLENCE.

Jew-Arab Integration Will Be Faster Than Black-White: Mayor NEW YORK - Teddy Kollek, the outspoken mayor of Jerusalem, said Monday that inte gration in Israel be tween Jews and Arabs is slow and difficult, but faster than what’s happening in New York. Kollek, quoted in an article appearing in the current issue of Look magazine, referred to the long and painful effort to achieve racial harmony between blacks and whites in New York City. Bishop Sha w Challenges White Methodists in NC CHAPEL HILL - Bishop H. B. Shaw, Wilmington, who has - of the Second Episcopal District, AME Zion Church, in a sermon delivered 'o the predominantly-white delegation, in attendance at the Thursday morn ing session of the annual North Carolina Con ference of the United Methodist Church, meeting at University Methodist Church, said that both the world and the church are calling for a leader ship that is forthright, consecrated and dedi cated, intelligent and not afraid. • n The prelate lost no time in telling the audience that the ills that are besetting America are not peculiar to America or the world. “The people are on the march and the church must assert its leadership or all the progress that lias been made foi over one thousand years will Ik> lost,” he said. He cited many like situations down thru the ages and then The Crime Beat FROM RALEIGH’S OFFICIAL POLICE FILE MOTHER STABS DAUGHTER Mrs. Rose McNeill, 812 Cole man Street, told Officer L. R.

It may take two or three.” “It will take a long time, but it will take a year less than in New York,” he acided. In view of Mayor Kollek’s statement, it is to be remem bered that the Jews and Arabs have been bitter enemies since the War of 1948, when the Arabs were deprived of their own homes and prevented from re turning to them. There is still told how God raised up men with bold and dynamic leader ship that was not heartlessly selfish, not motivated by self aggrandizement and whose motivating purpose was to keep the anchor chain of hope from snapping. “It was God purpose to have them call people to repentance and rededication for the emancipation of themselves from bonds of iniquity, from galling chains of slavery and sloughs of despondency,” lie stated. Bishop Shaw also pointed out that neither their ethnic back ground or ttieir racial indentity was considered or even used. He pointed to them as Immort al.-. of history and bedrocks on which stand the deathless struc ture of unselfish service. He defined "militant dis cipleship”. He admonished the church leaders that they should not shy away from the word militant, in view of the fact that it was militancy that built Christ’s Church.
