Whaf Game Is
COHR Playing?
By JAMES BOOKER
Is Mayor Robert Wagner and the City Commission
on Hiunan Rights continuing to play games .with the
exploffve racial issue at the expense of more than a
million Negroes fighting for an end to all forms of
segregation and discrimination in New York City?
This question arose this week
as the Commission, in what it
announced as a "new policy
statement" urged preferential
treatment in Jobs, housing and
education for Negroes and Puerto
Ricans. _____
Before the CCHR press release
could hit the stands, however,
the Mayor hedged on whether
this was city policy, and told
newsmen that there had been no
discussion on the report.
Newsmen found it ironical that
the Commission, which earlier
this year had been forced to
check Its findings with City Hall
on the Anne Kelly issue, the
building trades bearings, and ev
ery other pivotal race question
it has been confronted with, had
not checked the preferential pol
icy with the mayor.
Also causing speculation was
why the Commission had chosen
the present time to endorse a
program which Whitney Young,
