."WHERE ARE JUSTICE?

Although he is still under attack from some civil rights leaders for his analysis of the weakness of the Negro family, Daniel Patrick Moynihan says: "I have never gotten a nasty letter from a Negro." Last week, Moynihan received an unsigned note, written in what seems to be a woman's hand and postmarked Newark. This one was not nasty, either, but it is hard to forget:

"Dear Sir we are writing you all for help and justice here in New Jersey. We are asking you all to go forwarded and help us. When this riot here in Newark started they have arrested several inocent people who had nothing to do with this riot.

When they sent in the State Troopers and National Guard all of them was white. And they are going around in streets shooting and killing inocent peoples, womans & children and babys. They rode up and down the streets Saturday night shooting into peoples windows.

"We need peace and justice here in Newark and all over New Jersey. They are tearing down our homes and building up medical collages and motor clubs and parking lots and we need decent private homes to live in. They are tearing down our best schools and churches to build a highway.

"We are over here in provity and bondage. There are suposed to be justice for all. Where are that justice? Where are justice?"
