C.—SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1968 Young Calls For Confab On Police And Black Community Solutions of Crisis Needed In Lawlessness NEW YORK Whitney Young, National Urban League executive director, called to day (Thursday, Septeber 26) for a special White House Confer ence on the growing conflict between the police and the black community. The civil rights leader urged each of the Presidential candi dates in this year's election to publicly pledge that he will call such a conference as a means of "improving police forces and bettering police community relations." Such a conference, Mr. Young said, would also take up the "serious question of police law lessness." He noted that At torney General Ramsey Clark raised this issue recently when he asked, "Who will protect the public when the police vio late the law?" "The overwhelming majority of decent, hard-working police officers suffer from the acts of a few extremists and the few who are on the take," Mr. Young observed. 'Tm sure they would support a Presidential Conference which would come up with solutions for the prob lems created by the handful of wrongdoers." Mr. Young's call is contained in his regular newspaper col umn, "To Be Equal," which is published in more than 90 newspapers. and Rev. E. T.
