Probe Termed
NAACP Rebuff

Robert E. Mclaughlin, presi-
dent of the Board of District
Commissioners, last night IN
dicated he believes the local
chapter of NAACP suffered
more than the police depart
ment as a result of the chap
ter's charges Of police brutality
and racial discrimination.
In the WWDC interview, RE
port to the People," the Com
missioner said he feels the
accusations aired at an extend
ed public hearing will not have
a "long run" effect on the
morale and efficiency of the
force.
He said that shortly after
the charges were initially filed
some Of the precincts had trou-
bic with some "unruly drunk
and disorderly customers" that
was attributable to the NAACP
action.
In answer to a question as
to whether the NAACP had
lost community standing since
the Commissioners rejected
the brutality discrimination
charges, Mr.. Mclaughlin
stated: 1T would seem so to
me-"
He said he would not have
been inclined to move on such
scanty evidence" as that pro-
duced at the hearing by the
NAACP and its witnesses. How
ever. he added. the whole cpl
sode cleared up many mys-
teries for the community"
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he does
not favor an investigation of
the local NAACP chapter. He
said he feels the accusations
were made in good faith by the
officers Of the group.

In opening the conference
Mr.. wilkins said the immediate
objective is to bring the per-
centage of registration of ELI
gible Negro voters up to the
same level as the percentage OF
registration of eligible white
voters in all areas.
He told the conference the
registration campaign would
become part of a national pro-
gram. which. however. would
not be so intensive as that in
the Southern region.
The purpose of the confer
ence. he said, is to survey the
situation and begin working on

found no offenses had been
committed by these groups
