Mr. Gregory Schirmer of Newsday called on April 7^rid. ire* quested information on NICHE. Our Presidbnt, The Rev. Rofcrt’H. Pierce and Mr. Ardith Davis, a ------ ----------- ^ ----- — ------ - member, spoke to Mr. Schirmer on April 8, for the primary pur pose of publicizing, the expected appointment that day, by the Di rectors of Mr. Charle.s S. Wright as our housing consultant. Wc were under the impression that the story would focus on this fact and were amazed to f’uid that llii,s mo.st newsworthy action was not even mentioned by the paper uni til Saturday, April 12, after com plaints were registered. ' It was .slated to Mr. Schirmer tlial although lliere might he some difference of opinion ns ,Ui whether or not the present Vil lage pl:m for the first phase of Ui’hiut Renewal could adequately provide for integration in the urea, we had complete confidence in the Director, Mr. John Salva- ^ dorc, that \ve are anxious to help j [expedite in every way the first I piiase. of (he program, and that it is the express policy 'of the Board of Directors of ti-ie cor poration that we- bo completely cooperative witli the Village on tile program. This was also in substance the content of a press release issued by us on March 24, 1969, which, untortunatoly, was ignored by most of the news-, papers. Mr. Schirmsr hits also affirmed siiicc that ho sensed nothing but a ' cooperative spirit and intent when-ho spoke to our represen tatives'. , / Mr. Sclxirraer's article included many inaccurate and - misapplied statcraents on the character of Freeport neighborhoods that re- 'Rocts great ignorance of the situ- ‘ atibn. A \statement ascribed to our President ,was misleading, in- comploto, out 'of context,’ out of character, and most Unfortunate.
