Mr. LIEBELER. When?
Mr. CARRO. August 21, 1927.
Mr. LIEBELER. When did you come to the United States?
Mr. CARRO. I came to the United States, I believe it was in 1937--'37.
Mr. LIEBELER. And you came to New York at that time?
Mr. CARRO. New York City; yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. And you have lived in New York City ever since, or its
environs?
Mr. CARRO. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Would you outline briefly for us your educational
background?
Mr. CARRO. Well, I went to junior high school and high school, college
and law school here. I attended Benjamin Franklin High School, Fordham
University and Brooklyn Law School. I graduated from law school in
1952. In addition, I attended schools in the Navy, the hospital
corps school, and I attended one year at NYU, the School of Public
Administration, under the city executive program.
I am an attorney and have a B.S. degree from the University of Fordham.
Mr. LIEBELER. Have you at any time engaged in the practice of law here
in New York?
Mr. CARRO. Yes; I have. I have from the time I was admitted to practice
in February of 1956 been in the practice of law. Even at the present
time, although I am not, myself, actively engaged, I maintain a law
partnership where I practice.
Mr. LIEBELER. I understand that you were a probation officer, assigned
as a probation officer to the Domestic Relations Court.
Mr. CARRO. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Here in New York?
Mr. CARRO. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. At what time did you first become so assigned?
Mr. CARRO. Well, I worked with the Probation Department of the Domestic
Relations Court, Children's Division, from early 1952 'til 1954. I am
trying to recollect--from 1952 to 1954. I believe it was up to October
of 1954. It may have been around September of 1954. I'm not sure.
Mr. LIEBELER. Can you tell us, after 1954 did you hold any other public
office or any other----
Mr. CARRO. Oh, yes; I worked from 1949 to 1952 as a social investigator
for the city of New York. From 1952 to 1954 I was probation officer
of the Children's Court. Then, in 1954 for about a month or so I was
with the New York City Police Department as a probationary patrolman
and left to join the New York City Youth Board where I worked as a
social--I mean, a street club worker, senior worker and supervisor. I
worked with the New York Youth Board for 4 years with their council
of Social and Athletic Clubs, which is the common name given to the
"street gang project."
From 1958 to 1960 I was appointed to the State Commission Against
Discrimination. I worked with them as a field representative.
In 1960 to 1961 I worked for Mobilization for Youth, which is a
privately financed organization with Federal, State, and city funds
and private funds, developing a program for the youth, as an associate
director, and from 1961 to the present I have been an assistant to the
mayor of the city of New York.
Mr. LIEBELER. Does your job with the mayor at the present time relate
to youth, or more generally----
