Blood gushed himself in the process. One way or the other, Downs got a three-inch gash in his arm. Not all of the wounds were inflicted on white flesh.

The 101st Airborne Division calls it Roadblock Alpha. Except for certain features which have been added this aches and pains of rheumatism and arthritis, is seen as offering dose-by- obscurity. It is one short block dose relief to countless sufferers from these dread conditions.

A paratrooper with a walkie-talkie radio sat in the back seat. A tall, wiry major in battle dress stepped out to the sidewalk. Minutes later a detachment of 40 troops marched up. The major deployed them in two groups, on either side of 14th with about eight men lined up abreast across the roadway. It was at this point that 14th and Schiller became Roadblock Alpha.

The white woman who lived there saw his plight and quickly let him in, slamming the door behind him. Some of the whjte boys fell to work demolishing the bicycle.

Others stood on the lawn and shouted threats to burn down the house unless the Negro was evicted. The woman came to the door and told them to go away.
