Lesson Gained.
Draving a lesson from the dis-
turbances, the FBI chief recom-,
mended that local police receive
better training in riot-control.
With their lack of experience, "it
took many hours and in some
instances days to mobilize enough
force locally or from outside to
cope with the riots," he reported.
Johnson responded by ordering
the FBI to make riot-control train-
ing available to all police depart-
ments In the country. The Presi-
dent also directed the Defense
Department to increase National
Guard riot - control t r a i n i n g
throughout the country and to
make that training available to
local police forces.
While racial tensions contribut-
ed to the city rioting, Hoover
said, none of the disturbances
was a race riot "in the accepted
meaning of the phrase."
"They were not riots of Ne-
groes against whites or whites
against Negroes," he reported.
"And they were not a direct out-
growth of conventional civil rights
protest."
No Group Involvement
Hoover made short shrift o'
charges that the riots were insti-
gated by the Communist party of
other organizations.
In all cases, mob violence was
"dominated by the acts of youths
ranging in age up to the middle
20's."
The FBI chief blamed what he
termed "the breakdown of re-
spect for law and order among
young people" in part on "an
immunity to public exposure for
serious offenses and often the ab-
sence of punishment of any kind."

Mob Activity
Hoover recounted a similar pat-
tern of escalation in each riot.
Each incident was triggered by
"violent interference with the po-
liceman on the scene, followed by
the gathering of a crowd."'
Either because of further dis-
turbances or "the exhortations of
rabblerousers," the crowd was
swelled by the arrival of youths
"looking for excitement or viol-
ence or worse."
Crowds became increasingly un-
ruly as mob spirit swept through
them. .Efforts' by police and oth-
ers to disperse the crowd failed,
Hoover continued, and "complete
defiance of the law and the rights
of others grew and fed upon it-
self."
Halt Riots
But "in almost all cases only
massive and vigorous police action
or the arrival of state police or
the National Guard finally brought
about a termination of the riots
and the restoration of law and
order," Hoover said.'
Hoover dismissed charges that
the riots stemmed from "excesses
by the police."
