Woody is a negro.

But it was not white people's prejudice. It was his own people's. The story goes back to the Los Angeles of the 30s, a carefree town, where the movies were riding high, the smog had not yet arrived, Hitler was just a character Charlie Chaplin made funny movies about. There were no black ghettos in Los Angeles. Every other person seemed faintly dotty, guys went around in beards and sandals making speeches in Pershing Square.

Woody was as baffled by this as a Pacific Coast dolphin. Alphabetical agencies began to fault-find Woody because he did not "join the cause." "What 'cause'?" demanded Woody.

He wrestled professionally. When Yul Brynner shaved his hair off, so did Woody Strode. He starred in John Ford pictures like "Sergeant Rutledge." He fought Kirk Douglas in "Spartacus." He plays a villain In the current Jocko Ma-honey "Tarzan" picture. But now, a revolution is In the streets of the country. The Negro, at last, is marching peacefully for his rights.

Decent people everywhere root for him. Then, the militant Negro press got wind of the situation. They descended on Woody with fire In the eye. Woody was dismayed. ''Look," he groaned, "do me a favor and mind your own business.

We get $200 a week, we don't have to stand curfew, I hear the white guys on the dub are about to mutiny to get the kind of a deal we got. Now, you're going to louse it all up." It was no use.

Grab your hat and follow. The wings are not only itching, they're causing a rash. The good old days when Kenny Washington was an Italian, Woody Strode was a paying customer at the Grove, and UCLA was only two stories high are as dead as silent pictures. The idea now is to get the whole country to be what Woody Strode's L.A. was In 1936.

But, every revolution's first victims are its own. It is its own hostage, in bondage to itself. It scares its own leaders. A Robespierre sees the mob dash by his window, grabs his hat and says with an edge of panic, "There goes the mob. I am their leader.

Therefore, I must follow them." Woody is in this stage of confusion, too. "Listen," he says desperately, "I never had to sit in the back of the bus. I never had to step off the curb into the mud.
