Racial Strife Subject of N.Y.Meeting
NEW YORK — (UPI)—City officials and civil rights leaders conferred urgently yesterday to seek a way to calm racial tensions in Harlem, America's largest Negro community, where hundreds of Negroes battled police in two days of bloody, destructive riots.
While the meeting convened at City Hall, a 15-year-old Negro boy, whose slaying by an off-duty policeman last Thursday touched off the weekend of rampaging and blood-shed, was buried in a suburban cemetery.
THE SIDEWALK WAR between inflamed Negroes and hundreds of steel-heLMETed riot police was controlled early yesterday after two nights of shootings, beatings and looting in which one man was killed and scores were injured.
Three persons were wounded by police Sunday night and early yesterday as the Negroes, seething with anger, hurled rocks, bricks, bottles and even Molotov cocktail fire bombs at the police.
The rioting in the ghetto community of more than 200,000-94 percent of them Negro—confirmed dire prophesies of civil rights leaders that Harlem was in for a "long hot summer" of strife.
IT WAS IN HOPES of quieting the emotion-charged situation that city officials, headed by acting Mayor Paul V. Screvane, met in City Hall with leaders of the Negro community.
As he walked into the meeting, James Farmer, national director of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), was asked if anything could be done to pacify the angry, frustrated Harlem Negroes who have staged a series of anti-police demonstrations since James Powell, 15, was shot by the policeman in a sidewalk altercation last Thursday.
"We hope so, of course," Farmer replied.

Lewis Hall Maid Likes Students, and Work
By Jacquie Glaser
One of the biggest problems many new students have when they first arrive at college is learning how to take care of themselves, their clothes and their rooms. Mrs. Adah Fish, a Lewis Hall maid, said in an early morning interview.
"I really think every boy and every girl should know how to clean his own room, wash and iron his own clothes, and take care of himself, especially since one never knows what will happen in the future," said Adah, who tells everyone to "just cross out the 'h' in my name and then pronounce it!"
ADAH, WHO WORKS with three other maids in Lewis Hall, had cleaned on the fourth and fifth floors ever since the building opened. Each maid takes care of two floors, from seven to three-thirty every day except Sunday and their half day off.
The dorm also is served by two janitors, who put in lights, wash windows, care for the stairways, and do other jobs. Certain maintenance men, or carpenters and plumbers, do the repair work in all of the buildings on the hill.
Probably the biggest chore the maids have to tackle is keeping the shower stalls clean. All of the time this reporter was interviewing Adah, she was busily working.
IF ONE HAS EVER seen a maid cleaning the shower stalls, he would understand why Adah says, "I do not think the girls need to worry about getting germs—we use so much disinfectant!" With a combination of scalding hot water, a quantity of ammonia to help cut the grease off the walls, and a large amount of disinfectant, Adah moped one of the shower stalls for about five minutes as vigorously as she could.
"Each maid must work out a system by which she can get all of her work done. We cannot do everything all in one day. Even at home you do not do every job on every day." said the constantly busy maid.
Although the college girls are in the building more and stay for a longer period of time than the campers, either group is nice to work with and usually very cooperative.
"COOPERATION REALLY helps us, because it is such a job just to get done at all!" she commented.
In the summer, the maids try to get some extra work done. They do jobs like washing furniture and doors because when the college girls are here the every-day jobs

keep them very busy. In the winter, the university furnishes the bed sheets, and once a week the maid must change these also.
MANY NICE GIRLS have been known as "Adah's girls or Adah's honeys" in the past years. "The
girls are all different but all swell!" she said, "However, in that large a group, there will always be one or two people who will cause some trouble—but most of the group will be very nice.
"I really think it is a good experience for the girls to live at Lewis Hall during the summer, because they learn how to live with and get along with other girls in a large group! That is something which you cannot learn at home." Not only does Adah have a "large

As Adah was finishing one phase of her work, she paused and said, "We do not have it so bad up here. It sure would be worse if we had to come up here every day and the girls did not smile at us or would just pass by and not speak. It would probably be too hard to take! But when the girls are friendly and smile at us, it is so much nicer!"
