25, 50 and 75 Years Ago
March 27, 1992
The FBI carried out violent attacks in Puerto Rico in 1978 that were
blamed on pro-independence groups, an undercover cop admitted in
testimony at Puerto Rican Senate hearings.
This was part of a campaign by the federal and colonial governments
throughout the 1970s to victimize and smear the independence movement,
student activists, and unions in Puerto Rico.
The Senate hearings are investigating the 1978 ambush and murder of two
independence activists. The police, FBI, and governor initially claimed
the two youths were terrorists caught trying to blow up communication
towers at Cerro Maravilla. It was later proven that the police had
organized the entire operation, in which an undercover cop entrapped the
youths.

Speedup and long hours in the current production boom, stimulated by the
Vietnam war, have brought the 1966 rate of industrial accidents to the
highest point since the early 1950s, during the Korean war. The National
Safety Council estimates that last year’s factory mishaps took 14,600
lives. More production time was lost from accidents than from all other
work stoppages, including strikes.
A prime cause is inexperience, that is, putting workers on dangerous
jobs without sufficient training and then pushing them to produce at top
speed. Dangers are also increased, for new and seasoned hands alike, by
company neglect of safety precautions.
Many accidents are due to workers being tired from toiling overtime or
from moonlighting on other jobs to make ends meet.

Washington is supposed to be the “headquarters of the democracies.” If
you want to know what they mean by democracy in Washington you ought to
read the judgment handed down by District Court Justice McDonoghue early
this month.
It seems that a colored woman was living in a part of the city where
Negroes are not wanted. It also seems that they have some kind of law
against this in the nation’s capital. The judged handed down a ruling
ordering her to move in 60 days because she is a Negro. He also issued a
permanent injunction against the owners of the building to prevent them
from selling or leasing the property to Negroes in the future.
In Washington, you see, they don’t need a Ku Klux Klan to segregate the
Negroes in housing — the government does it for them!
