1 1 Diggs establishes 'combat' record By ETHEL L. PAYNE WASHINGTON For an individual who has been variously ibed as "mild "low key" and "benign," Rep. Charles' C. Diggs, D. Mich, has established a record for combat in the Congress and with the Nixon Administration.

He may be soft spoken and amiable, but when it comes to manifestations of anti blackness, whether it is domestic or foreign, Charlie Diggs wades right in to do battle. His latest confrontation was with Louisiana Congressman John Rarick who loves to load up the Congressional Record almost daily with racial diatribes, reminiscent of the late Sen. Theodore "The Man" Bilbo in his heyday. The fuss started at a Home Rule hearing, which to W.ashingtonians, is as per rennial as the starlings that roost on public buildings and about as non productive. old John McMillan o' u'.

Carolina, chairman vt the House District Committee, and until recently. an implacable foe of Home Rule, was presiding when Rarick who wants to give the city of Washington ex cept for Capitol Hill back to Maryland, let fly with some remark about the present i strict Government being responsible for making the city a "sink hole, rat infested that is the laughing stock of the free and Communist world and not even in the proper racial balance." Rarick conjured up some dire visions of a takeover over of Washington by the Black Muslims he' took comfort in the discovery of an arms cache in the Northwest home of some members of Black Liberation group. In short Rarick suggested that Congress authorize the funds to send the black population of Washington out West to the barren lands of South a kota, Montana, Minnesota and Kansas. Diggs promptly a fuse, telling the Louisiana solon that his presentation was meaning to the committee and insulted the black community. Mm ml "You arc stretchins the First Amendment too far (guaranteeing freedom of speech) he roared, shaking his fist 'n the direction of the startled Southerner.

D.C. Delegates the Rev. Walter Kauntroy who is a member of the Committee also had nis say. He called Rarick's remarks "laughable and a waste of The spectators in the hearing room, mostly blacks, stood up and cheered as Charman McMillan gaveled for order. Outside, before the battery of cameras that suddenly appeared at the Hearing Room doors, Diggs charged rarick with being" "a leading racist" who used his Congressional privilege to spread racial hatred around like manure.

Charlie Diggs had another notch in his "combat" record. He made news three years ago when he blocked former Georgia Governor Lester Maddox from distributing souvenir axe handles in the House Office restaurant. Diggs who is chairman of the Sub Committee on Africa took on the South African Government during his visit there last year over its racist rule and then demanded that U. S. Business either cease going along with" apartheid or get out of the country.

Last December, he resigned fi um the S. Delegat. to the UN General Assembly in protest over President Nixon's Azores agreement which gave Portugal $436 million in new aid, saying that this was a violation of the UN Charter and was aiding Portugal to further suppress its black colonial subjects. As Chairman of the Congressional 1 ack Caucus and its founder, it was Diggs who led the group to the White House last year for a meeting with President Nixon, negotiated only after more than two years of unsuccessful tempts to see the Chief Executive. Last dnesday, after Diggs turned over the chairmanship of the Black Caucus to Rep.

Louis Stokes, D. Ohio, an NBC newsman wanted to know if he had been forced to resign because of dissatisfaction within the Caucus that he was not aggressive enough. This, of course, was denied. he wss teased a becoming an unshrinkinj violent, the so ft spoke violet, the soft spoken Digsa retorted: "They just nev recognized the real Diggs.
