Police Dismissal
Reversed in D. 6.

The District Commissioners
yesterday set aside a police
trial board order dismissing
Charlie w. Lee from the Met
ropolitan Police Department.
The Commissioners decided
to permit Pvt. Lee of the fifth
precinct to remain on the force
but they ruled that he must
pay a $500 fine.
Pvt. Lee had been found
guilty by the trial board of
failing to pay his debts and
making untruthful statements
about his financial problems
to superior officers.
The Commissioners acted on
the case in executive session.
However, a spokesman for the
board said the Commissioners
felt there we're "extenuating
circumstances" which war
ranted the lesser penalty of a
fine. The spokesman added
that according to testimony in
the case, Pvt. Lee is now out
of debt.

Johnson Tells
Negroes to
Have Faith

Vice President johnson yes
terday said progress of the Ma
ton depended on the young
Negro having faith in the OPP
portunity the future offers him.
He was speaking to presidents
and executives Of % predom-
Negro colleges in the
South in a conference at
Howard University. His remarks
ware some of the strongest he
has made on the need to cor
rect inequities for non-white
citizens.
America has only begun in
the past few decades to right
the wrongs against Negroes, the
Vice President said. I'VE can
not as yet begin to whisper the
word success about those eff
forts" he added.
But he insisted that the
country's recent record justified
faith by young Negroes who are
debating whether education is
worth the effort and money it
requires.
AS chairman Of the Presi-
dents Committee on Equal EN-
ployment Opportunity, the Vice
ventured that COM
mittee programs had stimulated
more progress in the last two
years than has been made in
perhaps the last 200 years
of our history"
The Vice President insisted
that the basic fact facing to-
days young Negro is that his
Nation is confronted with the
most serious shortage Of highly
skilled manpower in history.
IF we are realistic about it,
this means that before the
1905 have come and gone the
opportunity for trained Negro
youth will be the greatest in
history and room will be open
for them at the top Of the lad
der, not on the bottom rungs
alone.
I'VE are faced today not
with a compassionate
interest in motivating young
Negroes to prepare themselves
for advanced degrees-we have
a national interest in doing so"
