Jewish Community to Take Part
in TV-Home Discussion Series on
Problem. Solutton to Urban Unrest
Television — home discussion
groups, a unique means of ex-
ploring the issues and causes of
urban unrest and the racial crisis
in America, has been developed
by an interfaith council in Detroit.
The Jewish Community Council is
serving as a co-sponsor of the
project.
A five-part television documen-
tary, "Community Forum," will be
seen at 7:30 Monday evenings
over Channel 4 beginning May 20.
The half-hour programs will ex-
plore the causes and possible solu-
tions of racial friction in South-
eastern Michigan. Other programs
in the series will be shown May
27, June 10, 17 and 24.
In association with the tele-
vision series, the interfaith council
is in the process of developing
home discussion groups. Groups
will meet and watch the television
program at a discussion leader's
home.
At the conclusion of the week-
ly presentation, each group will
hold an informal seminar to dis-
cuss and evaluate the contents
of the program. In addition, each
group will receive supplemen-
tary materials on the urban cri-
sis prepared by the interfaith
council.
Individuals or groups who are
interested in forming a discussion
group and serving as a host for
the seminar sessions are asked to
fill out the coupon below and mail
it to the Jewish Community Coun-
cil, 163 Madison, Detroit 48226. Re-
plies must be received no later
than May 8.
The television programs will be
presented on the assumption that
violence cannot build a better so-
ciety and that disruption and dis-
order nourish repression, not jus-
tice. The programs will be con-
structed on the premise that black
and white citizens want to solve
their problems and that rational
discourse encourages prolem-solv-
ing.
JCCouncil Endorses
Petition Drive to Urge
Mayor Hire Negro Police
Delegate Assembly
to Cite Dr. Krohn,
Air Social Crisis
Technion Researches
Shipping for U. S. Navy
The community relations com-
mittee of the Jewish Community
Council has endorsed the petition
drive being co-ordinated by Com-
munity Action Neighbors North-
west (CANN) to request that the
mayor fill existing vacancies on
the Detroit police force with quali-
fied Negro applicants.
In order to attract more Negro
applicants, new methods or recruit-
ing geared at the Negro applicant
have been recommended; however,
it is emphasized that this should be
facilitated without any lowering of
present standards.
At present, the Negro popula-
tion of Detroit is approximately
35 per cent while only 5 per cent of
Detroit police officers are Negroes.
The Kerner Report was cognizant
of a situation true of Detroit as in
most large nothern cities, that an
imbalance in numbers has helped
to contribute to the present lack
of communication between law en-
forcement officers and Negro citi-
zens,
The Council's community rela-
tions committee expressed its com-
plete agreement with the 125 com-
munity organizations that have
already endorsed the CANN pete-
tion and has taken the initiative to
secure organizational support from
within the Jewish community.
