NORTHWEST DEFENDER PAGE FIVE Sanitary Local News from Knott St. C.C. Hears CandidatE-----by-P-at _w_ood _ _ ___ Multnomah County tax– payers are paying "fu ll– time taxes" but getting only "part-time law en– forcement" from the Dis– trict Attorney's office, ac– cording to State Represent– ative George Van Hoomis– sen, 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 de– signed to protect the public from habitual criminals. "Many of these individ– uals have commtted sever– al 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 pre– sent 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 rob– beries in the county during recent months and pledged to "wage a vigorous and aggressive campaign . a– gainst 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 ex– clusion of competent and qualified Negroes from the Mayor 's Advrsory Commis– sion on s.chool board nom– inations. An all-white body of six was selected as Negro Chi– cagoans, nominated by a n u mber of community groups, were ignored. These charges were made at the local NAACP's mem– bership meeting which also witnessed an appeal to Mayor Richard Daley to ignore recommendations of this commission. De facto school segrega– tion strife has torn this city in recent months. The NAACP has charged dis– criminatory policies in re– assigning students from O\'ercrowded. predominant– ly Neg ro Burnside eleme n– tan· school.
