HARLEM LEADERS HOLD
CONFERENCE ON CRIME

NEW YORK - More than 80
civic leaders met on February 20,
at the 135th street YMCA to dis
cuss the prevalence of crime and
juvenile delinquency in the Har-
lem area.
Walter White, executive secre-
tary of the NAACP at whose call
the leaders met, said, I'VE all
know that part of this reputation
is due to certain newspapers
which feature crime in Harlem
and the race of persons charged
with crime. We also know that
the present situation is the prod
uct of the depression years and
of the denial of jobs and of hope.
But even after giving full allow
ance for these haldicaps, we who
live in Harlem do not appear to
me to be doing what we can To-
cally."

In plain fact, the Com
