Gerald Car nth, head negotiator for the DPS, said the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Col ored People presented “new and ad ditional demands” during talks Monday that would be costly. Funds to implement changes re quired by the new demands were not readily available and would have to be approved by the Legislature, he said. NAACP officials said that while the DPS has agreed to negotiate on some issues, other more important issues remain unresolved. Grover Hankins, chief negotiator for black officers and general coun sel for the NAACP, said the DPS has not gone far enopgh for black offi cers, passed over for promotions. Another point of disagreement between the two groups is the oral review board. The DPS has resolutely main tained that the promotion svstem, including the oral review board, is non-discrim inatory. Three blacks had been promoted to sergeant since January, and two blacks promoted to captain, Cat ruth said. He also said Lee Rov Young, a black investigator, is on the promo tion list for the Texas Rangers. NAACP officials countered that blacks still make up only L7 percent of the 610 law enforcement supervi sors in the department,anditl cent of 2,584 law entorcenifii? lions. . . ... • i I Lunkins >i>i|i|icil shw| ( 8f.4 that theiivil rights groupwj a lawsuit but warned that i(ij are tilings that we feel we net-j are not able to get. thenri’ would be filed.
