(MM
, WASHINGTON (NEA) — “Everybody talks about the
weather,” according to an aphorism widely attributed to
Mark Twain, “but nobody does anything about it.”
In Chicago politics these days, the subject matter is differ-
ent and the situation is reversed. Nobody talks about racism
but everybody is doing something about it.
Republicans and Democrats, blacks and whites, voters
and politicians all are in the process of disgracing them-
selves by attempting to capitalize on the fact that Rep. Har-
old Washington, D-Ill., is the first black ever to win the Dem-
ocratic Party’s nomination to be the city's mayor.
There is no justification whatever for the tawdry
maneuvering on the part of those determined to deprive
Washington of the mayor's post solely on the basis of racial
prejudice.
The most recent entrant in those sweepstakes is Demo-
cratic Mayor Jane M Byrne, who initially was presumed to
havie lost her bid for re-election when she finished second —
behind Washington — in the Feb. 22 Democratic mayoral
primary.
Byrne now has decided to enter the April It general elec-
tion as an independent write-in candidate, a move which can
only be interpreted as a crude attempt to pander to the bigo-
t-t'WWA

The stereo had dosens of tiny black
buttons all over its face. For hours,
Stuart studied the buttons and the
remarkable feats they accomplished.
Some buttons helped Stuart find radio
stations. Some found radio stations by
themselves and asked Stuart whether
he liked them
To protect his 11,200 radio, if not his
entire car, Stuart searched all over
for a garage to rent, but he couldn’t
find one fast enough. So the neighbors
stole his radio almost immediately.
Stuart bought a new radio from a
store called Car - Tubes, where he
noticed on a rack of plastic - encased
doodads an item billed as the, “lowest
priced anti - theft device available.’*
It was an “Incognito Car Stereo
Disguise,** from Incognito
Manufacturing Works, San Jose,
Calif. — “an inexpensive radio cover
with a false front that turns your
expensive stereo into a cheap factory
radio not worth stealing,” the
packaging read.

the 90th day of 1983. There are
275 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On March 31, 1889, the Eiffel

Christianity or leave.
In 1854, the United States
signed its first treaty with
Japan, opening two Japanese

world.
In 1917, the United States took
possession of the Virgin Islands.
And, in 1948, Congress passed
the Marshall Aid Pact for
Europe’s post-World War II
recovery.
Ten years ago: South Viet-

I have written about Stuart before. *
People rob him a lot
After living for a peaceful decade In
Europe, where nobody robbed him,
and a few pleasant unburgled years
in a small, oM, American villagi,
where nobody even noticed him,
Stuart moved to New York. Soon after
be arrived, people began taking his
belongings. They regularly
burglarized his apartment and his
car, alternating targets as he refilled
each with replacement possessions.
Within weeks, people an over New
York must have been watching
Stuart’s televisions, listening to
Stuart’s stereos and taking 35mm
color pictures of each other with
Stuart’s cameras. They kept warm in
Stuart’s tweed jackets, dry under
Stuart’s London Fog raincoats and
trim as muggers by jogging in
Stuart’s new sneakers. They also
drove Stuart’s Toyota Celica
whenever they wished and oc-
casionally took it apart, piece by
piece, probably as part of some
religious ceremony.
Recently, Stuart traded in the
remains of his Toyota for a new, silver
- blue Volkswagen Sdrocco, equipped
* It would appear that there are untold
lumbers of people in the world in-
terested in arms control There have
been some surprisingly large
.demonstrations appealing for specific
efforts to slow the arms race,
especially as it pertains to the
development and deployment of
nuclear weapons.
' The anti-nuke demonstrations have
picked up a little steam in the United
States, although the public displays
have not been as massive as seen in
other areas. For example, when the
American aircraft carrier recently
visited Japan, there were thousands on
hand to protest its appearance. On the
other hand, the nuclear-powe
submarine City of Corpus Christi
traded possibly 35 to 50 protesters
when it docked in its namesake city a
couple of weeks ago. It was a non-
violent protest and attracted little
attention.
The pressure exerted by American
allies in Europe and elsewhere, as well
During the Easter recess members
of the United States House of
Representatives and Senate have
departed from Washington. An
overwhelming majority of the
lawmakers hav^ gone home to hold
town meetings and “press the flesh” to
keep in touch with their constituents.
\ Not all of the federal lawmakers
have returned to their home districts.
More than 30 have scattered to far-
flung areas of the globe on fact-finding
trips. A few have carried along their
Spouses (of course, at their own ex-
pense) to share in their experiences
and perhaps enjoy some sight-seeing.
Congressmen have scheduled fact-
finding contacts in China, Lebanon,
Greece, Egypt, Israel, France and
other points. It may be easy to fault the
trips at taxpayers’ expense, but they
can be useful If Congress is going to
vote funds to other nations, the
members should inspect the grounds
and evaluate the assistance programs.
Generally, fact-finding trips are
necessary in the educational process
for the lawmakers.

President Ronald Reagan to come up
with another missile proposal to the
Soviet Union. Basically, he has
proposed to cut back on the planned
deployment of new medium-range
nuclear missiles in Europe if the Soviet
Union agrees to reduce its arsenal of
rockets targeted on NATO countries.
The effort to reduce arms may get
nowhere. But it can serve to place the
blame for the arms race squarely at
the feet of the Soviets, who by their
actions are forcing the military
buildup.
Of course, the world cannot dare the
risk of a nuclear confrontation and
both superoowers should recognize
this fact In the present climate of
mistrust it is doubtful that any arms
control measures will be hastily

try of the white Democratic voters and precinct captains in
Chicago's “ethnic" wards, notably those on the North and
Northwest side of the city, who cannot bring themselves to
support a black candidate (She also has shamelessly aban-
doned an earlier public promise to support Washington )
One of the few Chicago politicians who in recent weeks
has behaved with any semblance of class or distinction is
Bernard E. Epton, the Republican tnayoral nominee who
entered the race many months ago when it was widely
assumed that his Democratic opponent would be white.
A decent, progressive politician and lawyer, Epton has
steadfastiy resisted the temptation to take advantage of
what could well evolve into an ugly racial situation — tat
the same cannot be said of his party.
When President Reagan flew to Chicago for a Republican
fund-raising dinner prior to the primary, the bead table was
overflowing with local GOP notables, all of whom were
introduced to the audience — tat Epton was relegated to a
table at the back of the hall and received no official recogni-
tion whatever.
That situation changed abruptly, however, when the
results of the Democratic primary became known. “The
national party people didn't recognize my existence until the
day after Harold won the Democratic primary,” Epton told
one interviewer. “I’d rather not speculate on the whys of
that.”
The Republican National Committee now has belatedly
committed itself to a major organizational effort on Epton’s
behalf. Estimates of the amount of money expected to flow
into his campaign from out-of-state Republican sources
range from 8250,000 to 8750,000.
* The Democratic National Committee, to its credit, has
organized an ambitious campaign to mobilize many of the
party’s best known figures, including numerous putative
presidential candidates, on behalf of Washington.
Chicago’s blacks haven’t exactly covered themselves with
glory. One of Washington’s noisiest supporters, the Rev.
Jesse Jackson, whose public demeanor usually ranges
between flamboyant and maniacal, has unnecessarily terror-
ized the city’s white residents into fearing that if Washington
is elected blacks will do to Chicago approximately what
Sherman did to Georgia.
Although Chicago never has had a black mayor, black vot-
ers long have been crucial to the success of the city’s Demo-
cratic organization. With approximately 40 percent of the
city’s population, they comprise the largest single ethnic
group in Chicago
Indeed, Chicago is hardly a “white” city. About 14 percent
of its residents are Hispanic while other minorities account
for 10.5 percent Non Hispanic whites make up a relatively
modest 35.5 percent of Chicago’s population.
Washington is generally respected as a thoughtful, honora-
ble and capable politician. Nobody claims he’s perfect tat
he’s surely as good - and probably better - than the inept
white political hacks for which the city is notorious.

StuOrt found a cheap, black, rec-
tangular plastic box that flt over the
face of hie expensive super - stereo.
The face of the boa depicted a stan-
dard AM-FM radio wittxnit the fancy

that the Incognito Car Stereo Disguise
would “provide you with a very cost-
effective deterrent-by giving the
appearance of an inexpensive ‘fac-
tory’ style radio, something very few
thlefs (sic) will bother with. Proper

instructions read, “as it will deter-

them to a plain, black faceplate and
