THE PONTIAC PRESS, MONDAY, JANUAH%*2,1967, Execntive IMrector Natimal Urban League ' It is traditional at the start of a new year to look ahead at what the next twelve months will bring and commit ourselves to making it a betCer year than the last. fhe central prbblem facing the n a t i 0 n in 1967 will be to YOUNG solve the increasing decay and the bitterness in our cities. The inhuman conditions of ghetto life and the resulting frustration among young people who see themselves boxed in by a hostile, prej. udiced society are symptoms of the disintegration of urban life. Unless these problems are resolutely attacked, our cities are doom^ to yearly bouts of civil disturbances. ★ ★ ★ I hope that 1967 will see a more realisUc attitude toward these problems. The traditional method of offering token prizes like swimming pools or crash programs after a riot has occurred is unrealistic. LOCAL LEADERS I hope that painful message has finally become apparent to local leaders and that all of our cities take immediate steps to alleviate the horrors of slum life. The wide interest stirred by the Senate hearings on the “crisis of the cities” leads me to hope that all elements of our society will cooperate in attacking the despair which entraps millions
