Negro Cop Hiring Remains Problem For Birmingham
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. UPI There was apparent disagreement among city councilmen today over whether to hire Negro policemen as a step toward solving racial problems. A councilman, who declined to be identified, said Wednesday if Negroes “will just hold off a bit, they'll get some Negro policemen.’’ But George Seibels, chairman of the council's Public Safety Committee, which is studying the issue said ‘ no definite plans have been made to hire any Negro police.” Mayor Albert Boutwell called the unidentified councilman's statement “irresponsbile,” but would add only "we are considering” adding Negroes to the police force. The city council, on recommendation of Seibel’s committee, Tuesday rejected a demand by integration leader Martin Luther King Jr. that 25 Negro policemen be hired by a deadline of Tuesday or Negroes would resume massive racial demonstra-
tions.
King withdrew his deadline after the council meeting, stating there were “strong indications” the city w-as planning to integrate its police force and he would give them a “face saving’’ out by relieving the pressure.
