This will be the second appearnce
of the Dolphins here since the Dolphins 
became a pat of the league's
expansion. Last year the Denver
Broncos turned back the Dolphins
28-16. The Dolphins were no title
contenders during the regular season, 
compiling a 3-11 record for
season.
The Bills will present a team of
championship calibre with practically 
the same team that won the
league's Eastern Division title, then
lost to the Kansas City Cowboys
in the championship playoff. So,
the game should prove a good one
with defending title holder taking
on an up-and-coming challenger. 


Still, the Chicago Cubs will continue 
to breathe down the neck
of the Cardinals, with the Atlanta

Braves, Cincinnati Redlegs, San
Francisco Giats, Pittsburg Pirates
and the Philadelphia Phillies lurk
in the background.
The American League is just as
close and thrilling as the Boston
Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Minnesota
Twins, California Angels, Washington 
Senators and the defending
champions Baltimore Orioles remain 
a threat to the White Box
aspirations. Perhaps, this is the
tightest season in the history of
the game for the championship this
late in the season.

Marciano, who retired undefeated
as champion and Louis, the well
known Brown Bomber of boxing
wil Ibe here August 11 and 12 at
the Auditorium in a preliminary
tournament. Both will referee, some
of the bouts. This is just one of
the tournaments leading up to the
international show, and is called
the tournament.

Football players have been notified 
that fall practice calls have
been issued for Monday Aug. 7.
Practice will continue until September 
1, the date of the Jamboree
scheduled for Crump Stadium. The
first game of the regular season
will be September 7 between Carver 
and the new Northside High
School.
The MIAA is divided into the
Red and Blue Divisions with 12
teams in each division. The larger
schools are grouped in Four A and
Triple A leagues, with the smaller
schools in A and AA leagues.
Regular season play the league
will end November 17 and play for
the city championship will be November 
24. The Prep League athletic 
program will be completely
integrated in the city for the first
time.

REPORT TO TENNESSEE
I recently talked to a young
man in Tennessee who had
tried to employ a welfare recipient 
to do some cleanup
work, around his newly constructed 
home. He offered the
mail $1.40 an hour and estimated 
the job would take
about six hours. But the welfare 
recipient turned the job
down. He has no work, but
his reasoning was Illuminating
to me. If he made $10 from
doing the cleaning around the
fences, he said, the welfare
people would just take $10 out
of his check.
The poor and needy and the
disadvantaged in America who
are on the welfare rolls are
the only people in America
who are subjected to a 100%
Federal income tax.
It is the proper and highly
desirable responsibility of the
Federal government to try to
help those who cannot help
themselves, but the various
poverty programs we have
now too often have the effect
of robbing the recipient of any
possibility of improving his
lot his standard of living, sta
ture and dignity, because of
this 100% income tax.
A new and different way
must be found to help those
who need help without robbing 
men and women of their
incentive to improve themselves, 
to make more for their
families and without destroy
ing their dignity and self-respeot. 

All, too often the effect of
the present programs is to
convince some people that it
is more advantageous not to
work than it is to work.
The riots and destruction,
the deaths and injuries in Detroit 
in the last few days are
a national tragedy. Newark.
New Jersey, and Detroit,


Michigan, were scenes of
bloody combat between anarchy 
and law and order the
likes of which this Union
hasn't seen since the Civil
War. There may be other and
similar incidents in the future.
With violent upheavals in
one city after another across
this country, I think it is inescapable 
that we start thinking 
about whether there is
some subversive master plan
behind these riots I think
that careful and thorough investigation 
of the possibility
that they are triggered or
even directed by external
sources must be undertaken
immediately. The unrest in
Detroit had virtually nothing
to do with civil rights. Negroes 
and whites alike deplore;
the breakdown of law and order 
and the death and destruction 
which ensued.
It is a complex problem and
one that doesn't yield to immediate, 
simple solution; bat
we must start by making it

abundantly clear that at all
costs the United States will
not tolerate lawlessness, a
breakdown in peace and order, 
and mob rule. Beyond
that I believe that the proposal 
in Congress by Senators
Dirksen and Mansfield for the
creation of a joint committee
of the Senate and the House
to try to identify the root
causes of the problem is highly 
constructive. I believe that
such a committee would find
that the loss of initiative and
motivation, pride and self-respect, 
and the sense of hopelessness 
imposed by the present 
structure of welfare programs, 
contribute substantially 
to such riot situations as
we witnessed in Newark and
Detroit.
This in no way means that
we shouldn't destroy them as
independent human beings in
the process.
Job training, better education, 
and better housing will
probably partly answer the.
problem but even here we
must be extremely careful
that we mobilize the resources
of the people themselves and
of business and industry and
the unions to take on this
tremendous job. The Government 
cannot and must not try
to do it by itself and on its
own, or else this country will
soon be populated by people
who are entirely dependent
on the Government and who
become the nerds of the state
I believe it is the function
of the Federal Government to
identify problems, to find solutions 
and to encourage the
people themselves to undertake 
the solving of the prob.lems, 
rather than the tendency 
of this Administration to
create more and more Federal
bureaucracy.

Disorder Hits Nation's Capital
And Eight Other Communities
The nation's capital was one of
eight U. S. cities hit by racial violence 
Monday night and early Tuesday 
— the 2toh consecutive day of
such violence in American communities. 

Groups of bottle - throwing Negro 
youths roamed a district within 
a mile of the White House stoning 
cars, smashing store windows
and chanting black power, slogans.
President Johnson's special riots
investigating commission went to
work on the problem Tuesday, and
let it be known it intended to root
out the "actual smell and feel" of
disorders which have spread
through 103 cities since the first of
the year.
In addition to Washington, Milwaukee, 
West Palm Beach, Fla.,
Providence, R. I., Denver, Erie, Pa.,
San Bernardino, Calif., and Portland,

banker David Rockefeller, who have
called an emergency meeting of
civil leaders this month in Wash-,
ington.
Another large segment of troops
was pulled out of Detroit Tuesday,
leaving the city with only about
500 paratroopers, all of them sta
tioned 
at the state fairgrounds in
northern Detroit. The Motor City
experienced the bloodiest racial
rioting in the nation's modern history 
last week, and President Johnson 
ordered in a force of 4,700 federal 
troops to deal with the disorders. 

About 40 persons 
arrested as roving bands of
Negroes smash more than 25 store
windows and set a dozen, fire.
Providence, R. I. — About 350 police 
needed to restore calm when
about 200 Negro youths hurl rocks,
bricks and bottles in wild rampage.
Two Negro youths shot, at least
four persons stabbed, three officers

At Least 115
Have Died In
Riots In 1967
At least 115 persons, ranging from
a volunteer social worker in New
York's Spanish Harlem to 39 slain
in Detroit's week of horror, have
died in racial conflict this year in
the nation.
Estimates of the damage in dollars 
were beyond the reach of any
national officials, but in Detroit
alone the city's Board of Commerce
said long range losses to small businesses 
and industry would exceed
$1 billion. The costliest racial rioting, 
in terms of lives lost and property 
ruined, were in Detroit and
Newark, N. J. The Newark riots of
five days that began July 12 ended
with 27 deaths.
The insured damage in Newark
has been estimated at $15 million,
with uninsured losses put at $35
million. Both figures are assessment 
only of solid property, not
of lost potential.
For cities, such as Cincinnati,
here racial conflict has broken out
three separate times this year damage 
estimates were hard to get.
Cincinnati's June 12 rioting that
lasted five days was given a $2
million price tag.
July 3rd rioting in the city cost
another $1 million, and violence
last Wednesday and Thursday may
have added $350,000 more.
Officials in most major cities
were too swamped with the work
of bringing peace, restoring law and
order, feeding riot victims and trying 
to prevent more rampaging to
count what, had been; lost already.
Insurance companies stand to
pay amounts, comparing with the
$715 million paid out for damage
from Hurricane Betsy in 1965.

End Riots Now,
4 Leaders Urge
Pointing out that
Negroes are "the primary victims
of riots," four of the nation's top
civil rights leaders have isued a
strong call for an end to the ghetto 
violence hich has erupted in
critics throughout the country.
The statement, issued on Wednesday, 
July 26, as a joint appeal by
the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., president, Southern Christian
Leadership Conference; A. Philip
Randolph, president, A. Philip Randolph 
Institute; Roy Wilkins, executive 
director, National Association 
for the Advancement of Colored 
People; and Whitney M.
Young, Jr., National League.
The complete text of the statement 
on violence in the cities follows; 

Developments in Newark, Detroit
and other strife-torn cities make
it crystal clear that the primary
victims of the riots are the Negro
citizens. That they have grave
grievances of long standing cannot 
be denied or minimized. That
the riots have not contributed in
any substantial measure to the
eradication of these just complaints
is by now obvious to all.
We are confident that the overwhelming 
majority, of the Negro
community joins us in, opposition
to violence in the street who is
without the necessities of life when
the neighborhood stores are de-

strayed and looted? whose children
are without milk because deliveries
cannot be made?
Who loses wages because of a
breakdown in transportation or destruction 
of the place of employment? 
Who are the dead, the injured 
and the imprisoned? It is the
Negroes who pay and pay and pay,
whether or not they are individually 
involved in the rioting. And for
what?
Killing arson, looting are criminal
acts and should be dealt with as
such. Equally guilty are those who
Incite, provoke and call specifically
for such action. There is no injustice 
which justifies the present destruction 
of the Negro community
and its people.
We who have fought so long and
so hard to achieve justice for all
Americans have consistently opposed 
violence as a means of redress. 
Riots have proved ineffectivedisruptive 
and highly damaging to
the Negro population, to the civil
rights cause and to the entire nation. 

We call upon Negro citizens
throughout the nation to forego
the temptation to disregard the
law. This does not mean that we
should submit tamely to joblessnes
inadequate housing, poor schooling
insuit humillation and attack. It
does require a redoubling of efforts
through legimitimate means to end
these wrongs and disabilities.
We appeal not only to black
Americans but also to our fellow
white citizens who are not blame
less. The disabilities imposed upon
Negro citizens are a century old
They remain because the white citizenry 
in general supports these restrictions. 

The Ninetieth Congress has exhibited 
an inoredible indifference
Only last week the House defeated
a rat - control bill  would
have enabled the cities to get rid
of the rats which infest the slums.
And finally we fully support
President Johnson's call "upon all
our people (back and white alike)
in all our cities to join in a deter
mined program to maintain law
and order to condemn and to com
bat lawlessness in all its forms
and firmly to show by word and
by deed that riot, looting and public 
disorder will just not be tolerated."

Atlanta Chiefs
Start Crucial
Stretch Drive
The Atlanta Chiefs started the
most crucial stretch of their aremier 
season Wednesday night, August 
2, when they play the New
York Generals in Atlanta Stadium 
at 8:05 p.m.

The Chiefs have played the Generals 
three previous times. The only 
other time the teams played in
Atlanta the Chiefs won 2-0 on
goals by Graham Newton and Ron
Newman. The other two games were
2-2 ties in New York. The first
time was on May 21 when the
Chiefs lost a 2-0 lead on two Second 
half goats by a substitute, Michael 
Ash. The other time was on
Sunday, July 22, when New York
got off to a 2-0 lead in the first
half, but the Chiefs came back to
tie it on an "own goal" by the
General's Barrie Wright and a
goal by the Chiefs' captain, vie
Crowe.
The Chiefs' offense has been
sparked by its leading scorers, player 
- coach and general manager
Phil Woosnam and center - forward 
Graham Newton. Each had
eight points to his credit after
twenty - four games this season.
Woosnam has scored his while
starting only eight games, but in
his team's last home game, he entered 
in the second half and
had three assists while leading the
Chiefs to four goals in the half
and a 4-1 victory over Toronto.
