Minority involvement essential to solution to city problems
Greater Involvement of minority professionals In city planning and management Is critical to solution of the nation's urban ills, a key official In the Department of Housing and Urban Development declared In Chicago today. Addressing that city's chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) at the Sherman House, HUD General Assistant Secretary Samuel C. Jackson told NAHRO members that the urban crisis Is so interwoven with the problems of race and poverty that *'those who have lived under them — the blacks, the chicanos, the Indians and poorof all races— can bring to the task the sen-
sitivity and social awareness that must be part of any workable solution." He noted that many universities are changing their curricula, producing graduates with stron g social concerns as well as technical skills — "urban students with the tools and desires to effectively help In the crusade for a betto* environment and an Improved community for all citizens." New Jobs and challenging career opportunities must be available to minority professionals, he emphasized. Mr. Jackson suggested NAHRO members consider the needs of minority professionals an Integral part of their own involvement in the na-

tlon’s $40 billion housing Industry. "The problems are too monumental — massive concentrations of the black and poor, the flight of job opportunities to the suburbs, housing abandonment and foreclosure. We need, the Nation needs, the dedication, forcefulness and understanding ofthe urban people who suffer most from the inequities of discrimination and the urban economy. You have before you not only opportunities as businessmen but more importantly, the opportunity to alleviate some of the critical problems of our central cities," he added. HUD is concerned about the shortage of minority urban professionals — planners, city managers and municipal finance officers -- and operates two programs attempting to fill the gap, Mr. Jackson continued. These programs, one for Urban Studies Fellowships and another involving a woncstudy combination, have been highly successful, he observed, and are now assisting more than 260 students, both graduate-level and undergraduates, pursuing degrees in urban and regional planning, and other urban related fields. Mr. Jackson noted that 38 per cent of the 111 Urban Studies Fellowships awarded last year went to minority students. The equally-effectlve workstudy program, he explained, Is funded under HUD's "701" program, and Involves a collaborative relationship between a State or local public agency and a nearby university, providing both academic and on-the-job training for minority group students. A similar work-study program for students of city management ts funded by HUD, and operated In cooperation wlih the International City Managers Association, the HUD official reported. Mr. Jackson urged NAHRO members to develop their own agenda for expanded minority opportunitlea, suggesting 1 t Include actions to ensure minority participation in their own organizations, and development of programs promoting minority Involvement in municipal activities. Charge Alabama restaurants with discrimination The Department of Justice today charged the owners of two restaurants in Camden, Alabama, with discriminating against black patrons and white persons accompany blacks. . Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst said Civil suits were filed in U.S. District Court In Moblile, Alabama, against the owners of the Wilcox Motel—Restaurant and Camden Cafe. Lawrence C. Gaston, owner of t h e Wilcox Motel— Restaurant, was charged with refusing to rent.rooms and denying restaurants serve to blacks and to whites In the company of blacks. John R. Hall, owner of Camden Cafe, was charged with maintalng separate eating facilities for black and white patrons and refusing to serve blacks and whites in the company of blacks in the white section of the restaurant.

Lugar signs bill extending funds for child care centers
FROM SLAVERY TO POWER: Black people took over the government of Greene County, Alabama, in the 1969 and 1970 elections. At the court house in Eutaw, local citizens and SCLC officials inspect records
which go back to the days of slavery. Those in photo include SCLC President Ralph David Abernathy, Probate Judge William Branch and SCLC executive director Stoney Cooks, who hails from Indianapolis.
Director says agencies must cooperate to meet the needs
M
Nothing short of total cooperation among all service agencies will meet the needs of Indianapolis, according to gene McFadden, newly-ap-polnted DlrectorofCommunity Services for F1 a n n e r House, multi-service social agency and community center at 333 West 16thSt. McFadden observed, "Youcan’tcompartmentalize problems— they all go together." McFadden, who assumed his new duties June 5, has plunged Into his work as If he had but two months to make his program work. The kind of enthusiasm comes to him naturally, however. Voted one of the outstanding young men In America by the Jaycees In 1900, McFadden was formerly Assistant Nupertntendent of Community Education In Henton Harbor, Michigan. The sa-year-old acttvlat was Involved In a score of civic affairs In both Menton Harbor and Flint, Michigan, that Included helping ex-con-vlcts secure Jobe and home pleacement| establishing an employment program for hard core youth; organizing teenagers Into clubs; working with Industry tn setting up training programs for Aid to Dependent Children recipients, and working with churches and other organisations in providing food, heat, and clothing for families In need. ' / In 1966 McFadden w ajs chosen "Big Brother of the Year" by the Mothers Auxili-
ary of Flint.
Mr. McFadden feels that an essential part of his new re* sponslbllltly will be to assess the needs of the community and to analyze how they are, or are not, being met. This will Involve not only talking to his collegagues at Flanner Houses, but also going out and meeting the people whom Flanner House hopes to serve, as well as people in other social service agencies. Emphasizing that he doesn’t view Flanner House as a cureall agency, McFadden hopes to join effort with other concerned groups to effect Innovative and efficient new programs. “We are interested in serving the total needs of the individual," he says. One problem, as McFadden sees It, is that the man in the street has lost faith in service agencies. "So often in the past, he’s been shuttled from one agency to another, without getting any real help. We want to get the message through the grapevine that Flanner House faithfully follows through on delivery of
term ‘All-American city’ can Include all sections of c ir
town. ’' *
Services set at Mt. Paran for Mrs. Goodnight
tfzyor Richard G. Lugar UU last week, signed Into being a $215,957 program to be administered through the Community Services P r ogram, extending child care to 400 pre-school children in the Highland - BrooksIde neighborhood and throughout the Inner-city. Made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the funds will be used to help existing centers meet state licensing requirements, to expand existing centers and to develop new centers. The purpose is to provide day care centers concerned with the educational, social and physical development of pre-school age children. Existing groups both public and private will be given up to $500 for each added space reserved for a child from the designated area. New centers will receive up to $1,000 per opening, with a maximum grant of $50,000. The funds also will cover up to 50 per cent of the cost of developing Innovative programs designed to improve the quality and effectiveness of child care. Not covered are costs of redecorating, additional staff, enriched curriculum or replacement of equipment. The expanded program will be coordinated by the Marlon C o u n t y Coordinated Child
Cura Policy CommlttaawhoM staff members will provlds assistance In staff training, development of services and planning programs for parents Involved in early childhood education. Employment, as provided In the contract, will be given t o neighborhood residents. The 4-C staff also will supervise the development of neighborhood advisory boards for each participating center. The boards, which must meet monthly, will be composed of persons using the services of the center. The expanded program will be evaluated as it develops by the Implementation and evaluation divisions of the CSP and the State Department of Public Welfare, to Insure that the centers are conforming to state and federal guidelines and that citizen participation is evident in the program planning. All planning will be fully Integrated with the Title IV-A program of the state welfare department, state 4-C, Headstart, I.A.E.Y.C. and WIN, to avoid duplication of services.

OKNF. MrFADDHN Hz zfrvlces," McFadden will try to enii i tht gupport of big bualneaa and Industry as well as tupping state and federal aourcea, "There are alao a lot of resources at the local level that are being squandered or misused," he says. A problem that many clients of Flanner House face le that their skill levels don’t match their Interest levels. McFsdden would like to zee a program established to rectify this situation. Another concern is that too many people are thrown into any kind of a Job, without through for their abilities or interests, or that they are trained for Jobs that wiir be outdated tomorrow. "Most of all," says Me Fadden, "people themselves have to want things to happen and they have to be involved In their accompllshemt. Every program at Flanner House will be a people’s program--rm just a facilitator." Believing that "everything that happens has political overtones," McFadden stresses the Importance of getting people Involved in the political process—understanding how the system works and how they can be a part of it. "We will be spending a lot of time with young people— helping them do things they haven’t been able to accomplish on their own, and in making sure those with a- . billty can pursue their education and develop their skills." A native of Hope, Arkansas, McFadden received his Bachelor of Science degree from Hillside College in Flint, Michigan, and his Masters degree from Eastern Michigan University. Presient he is a Mott student pursuing his Ph.D in Secondary A dd ministration with additional work in Urban Planning. Asked what his impressions of Indianapolis were, McFadden cracked, "It makes me wonder what crltela were used In selecting it an 'AllAmerican city.’ I saw some pretty dilapidated neighborhoods—some very rundown sections. L e t’s hope significant changes can be made in the coming years so that tho
