Southlond Yqrds Hit by Rioters

Lumber and huildine material vards in scattered locations throughout southern California were rictims of the violence that resulted from the recent Negro riots in Los Angeles, August 12-l(r.

At least eight firms were attacked by the cir-il rioters with Molotov cocktails. rifle and shotsun blasts. vandalism and torches.

Frank M. Curran Luml,ci Co. in Santa Ana sustained damages estimated to lre in excess of $10.000. according to owner Frank Curran. Prar:tically all dry -qtock rvas destroled along with thc sheds, the home improvement department lost thcir business records. and the trucks were sr:orched. Onlv the olfice was sar,ed. Like many of the other riot-damaet'd firms, Curran had to hire guards to prot('ct from further losst's. But he is still open {or }.rusiness. working at a retluced rate as the,v painfulll, rebuild.

Also badll damaged rvas the T. NI. Cchb Co. operation at 5800 South Central in Los Angeles. Losst's ruere cstimated to exceed $10,000 by Ray Cobb, who t'mphasized. as did man,v others involved, that without the quir:k and courageous help of the firc and police departmcnts the damage and loss w.ould havt' been far greater.

Su-syrecting trouhle after reporls of tht' riots on Friday night, Ray Cohb, his father. T. N'1.. and his brother arrived at the plant at 5:ll0 Saturday mornins and founcl hroken u.indorvs and small damage. They staycd until two cleaning up and then u-ent to lunch. returning at 3:30 to find that the rioters had started st'r'eral fire,.. The fire-s had lrt'en reduced to smoldering.. smoking ashcs hy tht' sprinklt'r system, hut the rvater had also started electrical fires in some oI the machinery. Thr' fire departm('nt responded to their call. lrut were s() lrusv that all they <:ould do was to hook a host' t<r a firc hydrant, uish them good luck. and go aftt'r thc ser.eral hundrcd other fire-s that had hecn staltt'd. It took the Cobb {amily until dark to gct the fires out and sholel arvay the 'llre<'kage.

That night. Saturday the l4th, tht'v lroardetl up the opt'nings. lurnt'd on all the lights and the thrcc o{ them went up to tht' roof with carbint.s to stand uatch durin,l tht'night. 1'he plant sustained no more dama:re, but tht' r'iolence antl cle-.trut'tion that they had r,ratched from their roof-top vantagc point rvas staesering.

As a nearlrl' fire raged. he explaint'd" ihev counlt'd sixty rounds of ammunition shot at fircmen rvho u'ere trling lo fight thc blazt..

The National Cuard and tht' Los Angt'lt's Police l)epartment stt up (ommand post headquartt'rs on tht'Cobb parking lot nert to tht' plant and tht, T. M.
