Registration Hits New High In B'klyn Area Registration campaigns in Brooklyn’s Bedford- Stuyvesant earned over twice the city average in new voters last week and mixed emotions among leaders. “I feel both gratified and dls- satisfied”, said the Rev.

He was satisfied, said he, because “we are far beyond the city average.” registration. Elections Inspectors had been well trained he stated.

City To Open Clinics For Aged In 3 Boros The Housing Authority last week announced plans to open four new health maintenance clinics to serve the needs of el­ derly persons in three boroughs. William Reid, chairman of the Authority, made the announce ment while presiding over the quarterly review meeting of the Queensbridge Health Maintenance Clinic for the elderly at the Queensbridge Houses in Long Island City, The new clinics, according to Reid, wilj be located in the Haber Houses, Coney Island; the Ful­ ton Houses and the Swope Hour es, Manhattan and in the BroOx River Addition. Operating under Dr. Kuo since 1961 as a joint effort of the De­ partments of Hospitals, Health, Welfare and the Housing Author­ ity, the clinic meets the needs of the 1.400 senior citizens who live in the development at 19-29 41st Ave. 50 Reps Reid said the decision to open the new clinics was a direct re­ sult of the successes scored by the Queensbridge elinic which was opened In 1961. The clifiic was introduced as part of the Mayor's action pro­ gram fur the aged by the Interde part mental Health Council.

Surprised To Learn “I would be very surprised to learn that any irregularities were uncovered.” declared Jones, who led the intensified registration drive last week of the Bedford- Stuyvesant Registration Com­ mittee with the partial financial support of the Democratic Na­ tional Committee. "I hope,” said Jones, “this thing is not politically motivated. This is the first I’ve learned of any such widespread investiga­ tion but it seems to me peculiar it could be announced that so many hundreds appeared amiss when they’re admittedly still looking into it. Our position has always been that we’ll have the rights of this community’s ertt- zens protected while still obey­ ing the laws.” Charges that "paid agents” had “invaded” the registration cam­ paign were made last week by the Rev. Gardner C. Taylor, pas­ tor of the Concord Baptist Church and former member of the Board of Education, who headed a rival registration drive called the Bedford-Stuyvesant Registra­ tion Crusade. Bootstrap Rev. Taylor, characterizing his drive as an “operation bootstrap' — financed, supported and run by the people of the community on a non-partisan basis,” claim­ ed that the “paid agents” were attempting “to exploit (the reg­ istration campaign) for partisan political ends.” “The people of Bedford-Stuy­ vesant,” he said “are incensed that any paid agents, Negro or white, can be sent in by out­ siders, who ever they are, to seek to influence or determine what road this Negro community shall travel. “Negroes are paying their own registration way In Bedford-Stuy­ vesant and nobody has enough money to alter what is going to happen in our community — no­ body, including President Ken­ nedy or Governor Rockefeller or both combined,” he stated. Red Tape Other persons complained of the “red tape" in registration; like the insistence on a literacy test where affidavits would have sufficed. This not only irritated some but “insulted” others. The necessity of going to one place to take the literacy test and then to another to register was also a source of trouble and confusion. In his post-mortem on the reg­ istration, Assemblyman Jones registered “vigorous opposition” to the literacy test and said he would introduced legislation in Albany next year to abolish it. He also said he would ask the city to put mobile registration trucks on the streets when cen­ tral registration begins in May. During the five-days 3,749 per­ sons were registered in Brook­ lyn’s 6 A.D., bringing the new total to 22,837 from 19,088; in the 10th A.D. Fort Greene area, 2,872 new voters brought the total to 25,465 from 22,593. 18 Per Cent In the 17th A.D., Eastern Parkway . Stuyvesant section, 4,680 registrants were added to the existing 21,199 for a total of 25,879. The three heavily Negro areas thus registered an 18 per cent increase as against 8.9 per cent in the rest of Brooklyn. However, their total registra­ tion figures still left them at the bottom of the Brooklyn list. In Queens, registration was the low­ est among the five boroughs. There had been no sustained reg­ istration campaigns in Negro areas due mainly to continuing Job demonstrations. The trail of possible fraudulent registrations is laden with obvi­ ous political dynamite in Brook­ lyn's “black belt,” however, and officials-of the attorney general’s office and the Board of Elections are reportedly probing cautiously despite their acknowledged sus. picions that perjury may have been committed on a grand scale. °f demonstration, the voter situation Electlon,‘ JamM M , Power in Queen, would seem to resem- ' ,®k,Iyn3 has rema‘ned "°n* Me that In Brooklyn where the committal But with due allowance for the riTh* Crusade noted; ’’fi* up the long political neglect in the Negro areas of Brooklyn.
