tors" Police officials terttly denied ftlJegatlonK ol lice from civil rights leaders, and Chief Richard Wagner will be one of the first given an opportunity to speak to the commission. He will appear at a closed session day, along with some others the commission feels may be targets of criticism In subsequent open hearings. Gaines says one major difference In Cleveland is in the matter of involvement. "In poverty areas in other major cities, the people are un- Involved. They have no feeling that they can control their future.

"In Hough, you don't have that feeling of There has always been a great deal of leadership. Often that leadership has been so vocal, With so many projects and programs, no one seems to know who's doing what anymore." The Hough area mentioned by Gaines is one section that Is expected to get special attention from the commission. It Is a 2.2-square-mile area and 15 years ago it was predominantly white. Then there was a swift exodus of whites, and most of the 88,000 residents now are Negroes. Gaines thinks the area has received a bad name, unjustly, because of pockets of.poverty and' lawlessness.

Many Negroes living there came recently from the South. Hough leaders say a major problem Is posed by a high number of "fatherless families." In many cases where mothers alone are rearing large families, one minister observed, the men "would only be a burden if they stayed around. They can't get jobs, so they get out." HOMEMADE CHERRY PIE?
