Inscription
across bottom printed in image: (ADVANCE FOR MONDAY PMS, JULY 29--WITH BERNARD GAVZER STORY FROM AP-N) / (NY4- July 18) A MISCALCULATION COULD MEAN VIOLENCE--Police reaction to jeering crowds, in either / North or South, could result in major racial violence in the U.S. this summer. As this policeman / in Birmingham faced a crowd in May of this year so will other law enforcement officers in other / cities face demonstrators. A miscalculation in the handling of a crowd could be the spark that / touches off a racial conflagration.
