PLEAn GIVI VIEW, WHEENEt IN TNI AFEIAMATIVE 0> NEGATIVE. BY PETE LEAKE, Attomev-at-Law Yes, I feel that a Junior Citizens Association is needed in the black community. The purpose of such an association would be to give young blacks a part in solving some of their problems in the community. As it is now, the older people in the cornmunity are normally the ones who make the decisions for the entire community. Young citizens often are not questioned nor given the right to have any input into decisions which affect them. But if we had a Junior Citizens Association, we would have a broader understanding of the needs of the black cornmunity. After all, if young people are part of the problem, they are also part of the solution. In Govemor*s Cabinet po ..wx 1 LoulorUlo, ICjr (>02fl H.

P. 2) WASHINGTON. D.C. nationally prominent black civil rights leader has urged President Gerald Ford and President-elect Jimmy Carter to establish a Multi-Racial Commission to investigate racism in the military. Dr. Aaron E. Henry, board chairman of the National Black Veteran Organization, made the call on the heels of recent racial flareups at the Marine Corps' Camp Pendleton, Calif. "The announcement that the Marine Corps has launched an investigation of Ku Klux Klan activity at Camp Pendleton, Calif., is a step in the right direction, even though the existence of Klan activities in Ihe Marine Corp^ must be viewed with alarm." Henry said. "There should be no place in our society, particularly in (he military establishment, for groups that preach racial hatred.
