MONDAY, SLPlOlbEK 29, 1969 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 3 A Defends Nixon's Poverty Policy Reports that President Rich-and M. Nixon is crippling poverty and cornmunity action programs are nonsense, an office of Economic Opportunity official said yesterday. Frank Carlucci, acting assistant director of 0E0 in charge of operations, said of Mr. i 's attitude toward OEO programs, "There will be changes, but we hope they will be changes for the better." He spoke at the concluding program of Human Development Corporation Week at Harris Teachers College.

In an interview, Carlucci said he was confident that the federal OEO program would be strengthened, but that the changes might not be in the direction of increased funds and personnel. Strengthening, he said, may come through better management and improved communication. Shutting down weak community action programs might help the over-all program, he said.

Referring to the Administration's request for $2,200,000,000 in next year's OEO budget, which is now being considered congressional committees, Carlucci said, "I don't know if it's realistic to say we're going to get more money this year. It's up to the Congress now." Carlucci, who was named to his post last week, had been an administrator in the a t-ment of State for 13 years. Yesterday's program concluded a week of observance of HDC's fifth year of operating antipoverty a in St. Louis. Clyde S.

Cahill HDC general manager, commenting on the decentralization program of his agency, said, "we are not talking about 14 little HDCs in different neighborhoods. We want to develop a kind of federal-state system that will allow each neighborhood to conquer its own problems." He was applauded when he said, "The tragic war in Vietnam costs almost as much in one day as it would cost to run HDC for a year." HDC made awards to agencies, citizens and employes who contributed in an outstanding manner to the agency's programs. The Mayor's Council on Youth Opportunities received the John F. Kennedy Service Award. Runners-up were the Pruitt-Igoe Co-ordinating Council and the Lutheran Family and Children's Service.

Thurman encouraged parents having complaints to bring them to him. Haddox said he believed an increasing number of complaints concerning police brutality were the result of an increasing black population in the north St. Louis County municipalities. He said it appeared that many white officers had not learned how to deal fairly with Negroes. Thurman disagreed, saying that the small black population of Hillsdale had caused no ra-c i a 1 problems.

He estimated that 15 to 20 per cent of the village's population of 3200 was black. The police force has eight officers, all of them white.
