that New York City has main

more than 100 years, and "If
we were to follow what the state
wants us to do, Negroes and

need it most.”
His comments were made
early this week after the State
Legislature had defeated at

His quick grasp of the popu

the image he is trying to create

post in city government In 27
years, does not come out and
say he wants the top post, but
it is an open secret at City Hall.
His moves and his statements
support this feeling.

intended to seek the post of May

Since taking over the Council
Presidency, Paul Screvane has
tried to make the Council a more
important body and keeps the
Councilmen busy. One of his pet
peeves is the question of state
aid.

playing of politics with this ques

Gov. Rockefeller constantly says
he Is giving New York Cky more

that because of his background
