Ford Foundation Sets Up New Fund NEW YORK - The Ford Foundation today announced a $1 million grant to establish a National Office for the Rights of the Indigent (NORI) -- an independent national legal or ganization that will test cases likely to establish basic prece dents in guaranteeing the rights of the poor. The new organization will be set up with the assistance of the National Association fpr the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., to which the grant was made. While the Fund will contribute its experience in civil rights litigation to the new organization, NORI will have a much broader mandate. It will deal with cases involving the rights of the poor regardless of race -- in welfare benefits, public housing, landlord-tenant and creditor-debtor law, for ex ample -- that are too complex for individual lawyers or exist ing organizations. At the same time the Found ation announced a $600,000 grant to the Lawyers’ Commit tee for Civil Rights Under Law, an organization of distinguish ed lawyers formed in 1963 at President Kennedy’s request to help make the law operate fair ly for those denied their rights because of racial prejudice. The grant will contribute towards the committee’s budget over the next two years. The commit tee presently supports a law of fice in Jackson, Miss,, for legal representative and litigation; a police community - relations program in Atlanta, Detroit, and Seattle; and an effort to assist state and local bar associa tions in educating their mem bers in civil rights law.

Congressman Conyers Most lists Caused By Police Vs. Citizens STANFORD, Calif. - “In to day’s usage, the term 'police brutality* covers a number of sins committed against the pub lic in the name of the law,” declared Congressman John Conyers Jr, (Dem-Mich.) Nov, 30 in a speech prepared for de livery at 7;30 p. m. as a pk'rt of a week-long conference on Police Brutality at. Stanford’s Tressider Union. “All too of ten, the people most injured by the physical and psychological abuses of law enforcement of ficers are the members of the various minority groups in the nation’s big cities.” Conyers told the conference, sponsored by the Political Un ion of the Stanford Student Gov ernment, “None of the police forces in our major cities Is truly integrated because the percentage of minority group officers is always much smal ler than the minority’s per centage of the general popula tion of a given city. Since this Is particularly true in the poll-, cy making levels of most po lice departments, it is not sur prising that a member of a minority group may view the police department as an en tity set up for the purpose of persecuting him. “This is only one of the rea sons why most of the riots which have plagued our cities during the last few' years were precipitated by police versus citizens incidents which outrag ed the minority community,” said Conyers. “In some of the riots situations, a specific action by policemen caused the rebellion on the part of right eously Indignant citizens, but in others, the sheer bitterness and tension between the “law” and the community were enough to spark an open conflict. “Another source of irritation to the community is the reluc tance of police chiefs to pen alize fairly those policemen who are guilty of brutality and injustice,” continued Conyers. The only Negro member of the House Judiciary Committee which originates all laws re vising criminal statutes and has general jurisdiction over law enforcement, Congressman Conyers is also a lawyer who personally handled many cas es of police brutality prior to his election to office. “In too many cases,” said Conyers, “guilty law enforcement offic ers are given only minimal pun ishment regardless of the na ture of their offense. Only recently, a police lieutenant was fined a few hundred dollars and made to work seven days a week for six months for leading an unprovoked, unannounced and unofficial tear gas attack on a residence in my district. The men involved refused to take responsibility for the incident, yet none of them were penaliz ed. What is more absurd than making an already belligerent policeman work seven days a week. This is a case of mak ing an irresponsible man a real threat.” Conyers concluded with are minder that good police-com munity relations are the re sponsibility of all parties. “Both police officials and min ority group leaders have to work constantly to try to erase the bitterness and prejudice which the two have for each other,” said Conyers. “Not only do we need better pay and ben efits for policemen, more of ficers from minority groups and wider recruitment of offic ers, but we must convince quali fied men from minority groups that being a member of the police force is not by defini tion an act of disloyalty to the community.” ¥Oll SAVE -AT - FRANK’S SHOE SHOP Loncview Ganiem Shopping Coaler 11 S. mm Charle KdL Flume 828-2668 RALEIGH, ’N.
