LOS ANGELES — Police
Chief Daryl Gates’ suggestion
that blacks may be more genetic
ally susceptible to chokeholds
than “normal people” has trig
gered demands by civil rights
leaders that he be fired.
“We may be finding that in
some blacks when it (choke hold)
is applied, the veins or arteries
do not open up as fast as they do
in normal people,” Gates said in
an interview.
Councilman Dave Cunning
ham led Monday’s move to fire
Gates, comparing him to Lester
Maddox, the racist former gov
ernor of Georgia, and William
Shockley, the two-time Nobel
Prize winner who believes blacks
are genetically inferior to
whites.
Mayor Tom Bradley, favored
to become the nation’s first
elected black governor, later
ordered an unprecedented dis
ciplinary investigation into what
he called four years of dispara
ging remarks about blacks. Lati
nos and Jews.
“I am concerned that state
ments that are disparaging to
blacks, as they were in this case,
could undo the constructive
progress, which has been made
in dealing with a change of poli
cy on the use of the chokehold,”
Bradley said.
Gates said Monday that he
will not resign and saw no reason
to apologize for his comment.
While he stood by the remark,
he said it “probably would have
been more clear” if he had used
the words “normal fashion”
rather than “normal people.”

3 men die
in elevator
accident
United Press International
JETMORE, Kan. — Three
men who were painting inside a
narrow grain elevator were kil
led when their scaffold col
lapsed, authorities say. The men
fell 145 feet.
It was the second fatality at a
Midwest grain elevator in less
than a month.
Francisco de la O, 29; John
Romero, 42; and Jim Finch, 42,
died Monday at the Colling-
wood Grain elevator in Jetmore,
Kan. The men were employees
of Borton Construction of
Hutchinson, Kan.
Mrs. Rex Moore, wife of the
job site superintendent, said the
three men were preparing to
paint the inside of the elevator
when the scaffolding collapsed
or tipped, causing the men to
plunge to the concrete floor.
Dr. James O’Shea, assistant
district coroner, said the men
were dead before they hit the
bottom of the 5-foot-square
shaft. He said the shaft was so
narrow that the men bounced
off the walls and struck each
other in their fall.
O’Shea said the three died of
massive head and internal in-
|unes.
He said he looked at the
cables of the Jetmore scaffold
and they all looked intact. He
>aid he could see no apparent
reason for the accident.
An explosion April 20 at the
Bluffs Elevator Co. in Council
Bluffs, Iowa, killed five elevator
employees and injured 25 other
people. The explosion was set
off by grain dust, but what
ignited the dust and where the
blast originated has not been de
termined.
