The request, directed to all the housing commissioners by the Greater Portland Council of Churches Commission on Christian Socal Concerns, appears to. have been ignored by the Housing Authority at its meeting Tuesday niqht. Executive 'director Gene. Rossman has stated the matter was "not on the agenda." The Church commission had made a srecial effort to get the matter before the commissioners prior to the meetin~. Dr. Robert B o n t h u s, chairman of the Council /commission, said the request was for the reason that the Planninq Commission study would be the most inclusive study ever undertaken for the longr a n g e developement of Portland. The study is particularly centered in t'h north€ast section, including Albina, and was begun at a request of Mayor Terry Schrunk. It is expected to be completed in about two months. Mr. Henry A.

An appre,ciative crowd filled the banquet tables in the' Portland Police Athletic Association building as Talbert, a leading authority in matters of social work and· race· relations spoke in a quiet,. yet authoritative voice of the progress of non-whites in fields of labor, education, transportation and population increase, and the shifting of the same in cities. Student drop-outs, the speaker pointed out, can be perilous in this day of automation. He strongly advised education as a means to gain employment in limited fields. He received a hearty ovation at the conclusion of the speech. Spe.dal awards for participation in a series of UL Incentive Clinics, held in several schools, were presented to Mmes.

NORTHWEST DEFENDER PAGE FIVE Sanitary Local News from Knott St. C.C. Hears CandidatE-----by-P-at _w_ood_ _ _ __ Multnomah County taxpayers are paying "fulltime taxes" but getting only "part-time law enforcement" from the District Attorney's office, according to State Representative George Van Hoomissen, Democratic candidate for District Attorney. Speakng before members of Sanitary Truck Drivers Local 220 this week, Van Hoomisen told his audience that their present District Attorney has unexcusably refused to enforce laws designed to protect the public from habitual criminals. "Many of these individuals have commtted several serious felonies within a few years, and still t_1:le District Attorney refuses to vse the full weight of the law against them." Van Hoomisen said that, if elected, he would "carry his share of the workload of the office." "To the best of my knowledge, the present Distri.ct Attorney has not tried a case since he has teen in office," Van Hoomissen said. Van Hoomissen noted the increase in sex crimes and other assaults and robberies in the county during recent months and pledged to "wage a vigorous and aggressive campaign . against aU forms of cnme but to give emphasis to crimes against persons and children." SchoolCommittee Draws Protest Chicago - Strong protest was raised by the NAACP here this week over exclusion of competent and qualified Negroes from the Mayor's Advrsory Commission on s.chool board nominations. An all-white body of six was selected as Negro Chicagoans, nominated by a number of community groups, were ignored. These charges were made at the local NAACP's membership meeting which also witnessed an appeal to Mayor Richard Daley to ignore recommendations of this commission. De facto school segregation strife has torn this city in recent months. The NAACP has charged discriminatory policies in reassigning students from O\'ercrowded. predominantly Negro Burnside elementan· school.

However, he does concede that Louis the great Brown Bomber, was the best of his day. ' Clay takes up his poet's pen to praise Joe. He writes.. "My tribute to the greatest by the greatest." By Cas• sius Marcellus Clay. "Everybody knew when he stopped in town. "Joe Louis was the. greatest man around. , "His fights only lasted a couple rounds. "He made his opponents look like clowns. "The people came to see a great 1ight. "But all Joe did was put out the lights. "Some got mad, some lost the.ir money. "But Joe was sweet as honey. "His left jab fired like pistons. "They wc;re even faster than Liston. "Sometimes we often sit and wonder "If the.t'e will ever be another Brown l3omber."
