Just below the DMZ, where

poised to invade the South,
Communists caught a Marine

Southern Forces Aim
Fury At HEW’s Howe
By ED ROGERS
United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPl)—South
ern protests over federal school
desegregation enforcement have
grown so loud that House ad
ministration leaders fear key
legislation may be in danger.
The protests are aimed at
one man, U.S., Education Com
missioner Harold Howe 11. He
is accused of using his power
to withhold federal aid to brow
beat Southern school officials.
Howe’s foes have called him
names in bitter confrontations.
They have brought him before
congressional committees and

Howe has the backing of most
judges and congressmen.
The Southerners in the House
now have launched new tactics.
They are threatening to sabo
tage appropriations and author
izations for schools unless Con
gress places strings on Howe.
Emergency Move
A coalition of Southern Dem
ocrats and Republicans became
as threatening last week that
House leaders called an emer
gency whip session to save a
$3.5 billion school aid bill, then
bottled up in the Rules Com
mittee.
The administration pried the
bill out of the committee. But
the measure—to extend the
Elementary and Secondary
Shool act still faces a big
fight on the floor next month.
The Southerners have warned
they will try to amend it to
keep Howe from withholding
funds from schools that fail to
meet the standards of his con
troversial desegregation guide
lines.
At the same time a group of
Southerners descended on an
appropriations subcommittee
which is studying the fiscal 1968
budget of the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
There the demand was the
same—that strings be written
into any HEW appropriation so
as to tie down Howe’s zeal.
Letters from Dixie
They were armed with identi
cal letters signed by almost all
House members of nine South
ern states—Republicans as well
as Democrats.
One of the group, Rep. Wat
kins M. Abbitt, D-Va., said
Howe was “well on the way to
wrecking public education In
America” through his emphasis
on racial questions.
At this point, top officials of
Howe’s Education Office
thought they detected the fa
miliar note. They stopped wor
rying about the fate of the
legislation or their desegrega
tion drive. Here is the reason:
The letters from the Southern
delegations accused Howe of
going further than the intent of
the 1964 Civil Rights Act by de
manding racially unified school
systems.
On this point the courts have
already ruled in Howe’s favor.

Supreme Court backed them
up, in effect, last week.
But the letters of the South
ern delegations may have been
misleading. Rep. John J. Flynt,
D-Ga., said Southerners’ real
target is Howe’s “harassment”
tactics.
Cooperation Asked
Flynt told a reporter:
“If we could get an assurance
of understanding cooperation,
that the harrassment we’ve ex
perienced in the past year
would be relieved, by and large
the Georgia people would sup
port and encourage efforts to
improve educational standards.”
Flynt was able to persuade
Rep. Byron G. Rogers, D-Colo.,
who heads a special “Harold
Howe subcommittee” of the
House to call a new round of
hearings concerned solely with
the subject of alleged harass
ment
Flynt has invited to testify
Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox
and an array of Georgia school
officials who claim they have
been harassed. Rep. Robert
AshmA’e, D-6. C , has invited
another panel of similar wit
nesses from his state.
