...seemed a promised land. Since then, the Ohio city he laid out has dropped an a from its founder's name and most of his Utopian hopes. Last summer's flaming riots in the city's rat-infested ghetto of Hough proved that Cleveland's Negro neighborhoods are as volatile as Watts or Harlem. Scared citizens have taken to muttering about "Communist influence." Yet the Negro community's real problem is as close as the house next door-which in much of Cleveland is as apt to be a hovel as a highrise...

Of the 4,487 families who lived in those apartments and duplexes, only 114 found their way into public housing, while nearly 1,700 families disappeared entirely from official records.

...Senator, Frank Lausche, recently ordered a harsh crackdown on Negro demonstrators. "Fill every jail, if necessary," he said. The panic implied in that pronouncement was summed up last week by Chicago Sun-Times Reporter Morton Kondracke, who concluded from a five-week nationwide tour of the urban ghettos: "In Cleveland, the 'if' has almost gone out of riot speculation; the important questions for most residents and city officials are 'when...

...have grown so common that Richard S. Nye, partner in the Manhattan proxy-soliciting firm of Georgeson & Co., says that "almost all corporations can be categorized as 'attackers,' 'attacked' or 'angels.' " To Indiana's Dodge Mfg. Corp., maker of power-transmission equipment, Cleveland's Reliance Electric & Engineering Co. has just become an angel. Confronted by an unwanted tender offer from Emerson Electric Co., Dodge two weeks ago worked out a stock-swap merger with Reliance...
