Nixon was careful to divorce the crime problem from rioting and racial tension. He had dealt with that in an earlier position paper stressing the need for black economic progress (TIME, May 3).

Roy Innis, CORE associate national director, said Nixon's speech "opened the eyes of a lot of people" and made him a "contender for the black vote."
