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.
