for the Negro community. Th*
remaining $145,000 will be used
for operating fund* by the plan
ning committee, including the
costs of holding an election to
choose a 24-member board for the
permanent Community Corpora
tion. The date for the election,
originally Dec. 30, had been
moved to Jan. 14, Mr. Newman
said. The $575,000 grant is for
tha 12-month period between
Oct. 1, 1968 and Sept. 30, 1969.
He said 46 anti-poverty proj
ects had been submitted to the
planning committee, which had
screened the list to 14 which
were approved and submitted to
the CDA for funding. He said
the Jan. 14 election will be an
all-day affair and that the plan
ning committee was now seeking
12 sites for the balloting. There
will be four candidates for eaoh
of the six districts into which
the area is divided for voting
purposes. Each applicant for the
board of the permanent agency
must submit a petition bearing
>0 signatures and 60 candidates
have done so, Mr. Newman said.
Those elected on Jan. 14 will
serve for two years and they will
probably include a majority of
the members of the board of the
interim agency.
The 24 permanent board mem
bers are required under CDA
guidelines to elect an additional
12 members, and it is expected
that the final 36-member board
will probably remain equally
divided between Jews and
Negroes. The interim agency op
erates out of rented quarters in
an apartment building with a
current staff of five members,
including a Negro office director
and two associate directors, one
