of Seattle told the N orthw est
A re a Conference of the N a
tional Association fo r the Ad
vancement of C olored People
(N A A C P ) here Saturday.
Haley Is black. He is also a
practicing la w y er in Seattle,
who served on a conference
panel that explored inequities
of m in o ritie s in respect to law
and o rd er and methods to re
solve ra c ia l problem s.
A lso on the panel m oderat

C o rv a llis m o n e y , w ere C o r
v a llis P o lice C h ief James
Goodwin and C h arle s V .Jo hn
son. a black municipal court
judge in Seattle.
The panelists and others
g enerally agreed that getting
m in o ritie s represented In law
enforcem ent and the judicial
process are top p rio ritie s in
bringing out equal treatm ent
under the law, but they also
recognized that recruiting and
trainin g in these professions
are problem s.
C h ief Goodwin noted that his
departm ent has 35 officers and
six c le ric a l employees, all
w hite. How ever, he said no
black e v e r applied fo r a police
job despite departm ent re

E llis H . Casson. president
of the Portland chapter of the
N A A C P , offered his support to
s m a lle r com munities in re
cru itin g blacks fo r police and
other w ork.
Some 120 persons had reg
istered by noon at tte confer
ence at United F ir s t M ethodist
Church,
where workshops
were held in the morning on
ra c ia l problem s.
Johnson cited the need fo r
black policemen and "good
sensitivity program s lo r po
lic e ."
He said judges must be in
tune with the community and
should stress treatm ent pro
g ram s fo r convicted persons.
Blacks on the panel noted
that a recent Presid ential
com mission found cases of po
lice b ru ta lity , and that they
should note that some police
have brought c ritic is m on
themselves by b ru tality, and
that they should not by In uni

The chief said firs t-y e a r of

but funds are lacking fo r con
tinued training of veteran offi
c e rs , money that the voters
have not seen f it to spend.
Goodwin slad the police
should not be singled out In so
cial problem s. He noted that
police only enforce the laws
that are w ritten by law yers and
interpreted by law yer-judges
In the courts.
Haley said there are an es
tim ated 30,000 Judges In the
nation, but only 250 are black
(no black federal Judges) most
of whom are in municipal
co u rts. "A n d that's not where

Work-saving electricity
a plug
for women’s
liberation
These days, slaving in a kitchen is about
as old-fashioned and inefficient as burning a
kerosene lamp.
Thanks to modern electric living, we ve come
a long way.
Now, simply by turning a dial, pushing a
button, or flipping a switch, you can save work,
save time, and enjoy freedom to do more
important things.
Electricity makes it easy.
And there are so many modern electric
conveniences to help make your life richer.
For example, electric freezers that store foods
and keep them fresh for long periods of time
New self-cleaning ovens which, incidentally,
are great for liberating husbands who help
working wives with the kitchen chores
Trash-mashers that keep both your kitchen and
the outdoor environment cleaner, and nicer
looking. And many, many more
There are plenty of new conveniences
coming, too.
To keep ahead of your ever-growing electrical
demands, PGE is building new generating plants
which are essential for reliable electric service.
Energy from the atom, which is clean to make and
clean to use, will provide adequate supplies of
electricity while preserving Oregon s matchless
environment. If you d like a free booklet on
