News From
Urban league
By James D. Williams
Five hundred and fifty-nine
black and Spanish-speaking men
and women have passed Civil
Service examinations for the
•law enforcement field, our of
842 who were recruited, coun
selled and tutored for the exam
by the Rational Urban League's
Law Enforcement Minority Pro
ject.
The exams in three cities,
Newark, N.J.; Cleveland, 0.,
and Dallas, Tex.,were for such
positions as police, correction,
probation and parole officer,
sheriff's department and police
cadet trainee.
The accomplishment, made
h the first three months of the
project, is generally attributed
to refined recruiting and tasting
techniques, and could increase
the number of minority em
ployees in, for example, Cleve
land's police force from 7% to
12% if all who passed the
exams are appointed.
The number of minorities
in Dahas' police force may
increase from 2% to 5%, and
Neward's from 20% to 23%, if
all who passed the exams in
their cities are hired.
The Law Enforcement Mi
nority Manpower Project is
under the direction of Jack
Highsmith at League national
headquarters in New York.
Working always through local
Police Departments, local pro
ject staff beat the streets for
recruits under the banner"You
Can Be Your Local Police,"
often accompanied by minority
police officers themselves, who
are members of local minority -'

Along Range Plan Boy Scouts
On January 1, 1969, the
manpower of the Boy Scouts
of America, in each of its 510
local councils, launched Boy-
Power '76, a new long-range
plan that will carry through
1976 - the 200 th anniversary
of our nation. During these
eight years of intensive effort
we will move forward under
the basic truth that "America's
manpower begins with BOYPO
WER."
The puroose of BOYPOWER
"76: "To deeply involve a re
presentative one-third of all
American boys in Scouting"
and "to help the families and
institutions of the nation pre
pares a new generation with the
graphed flyers announcing his
address at North Carolina Cen
tral University as NCCU stu-
skill and confidence to master
the changing demands of Ameri
ca's future and prepare to give
leadership to it."
The plan calls for deeper
penetration into poverty areas,
doubling our present rate of
prowth in bovs served (the
greatest percentage growth is
projected in Exploring), an im
proved quality porgram, and
better service to units.
