In New York last week, 15 black leaders met to “launch a counterattack on the callous neglect of blacks, the poor and America’s cities.” The “sum mit” meeting was convened by Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., execu tive director of the National Urban Lrague. He said there was universal agreement that the solution to the problem must begin with a full employment policy. At a news conference after the AFL-CIO’s quarterly ex ecutive council meeting here, Meany said that in last year's campaign Carter “rais^ the expectations of these people, and they are disappointed" “I am sure they have reason to be disappointed.” he added. Meany said he found himself “in sympathy” with the views express^ by the black com munity. He said that "the greatest crime being committ ed today is being committed against the black community, against the black teenagers and the white teenagers.' In 1976, Meany noted.
