Carter praised the General
Assembly for providing for new
programs and pay raises but
he said the legislators made “a
serious mistake” in shifting
funds from county youth deten
tion homes to finance other
functions.
The governor said he would
“do all I can" to restore the
$600,000 taken out of the pro-
chine.”
The sanctions alert had been
put on the county after a re
port by the GAE’s predecessor,
the Georgia Education Associa
tion, that the school system
seemed dominated by a power
ful political machine headed by
Ralph Dawson. Dawson died
last year.
A sanctions alert is a warning
that sanctions could be placed
on a school system, declaring
it an unfit place to teach.

Capital Hill howls
for price board probe
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
There were new calls from
Capitol Hill today for a
congressional investigation of
President Nixon’s economic
control program and his
decision to revamp the Pay
Board.
“The administration would
undoubtedly like to have the
program fail and be in the
position of blaming someone
else for the failure,” said Rep.
Wright Patman, D-Tex., chair
man of the House Banking and
Currency Committee.
Adv for 6 a.m. EST
Sen. William Proxmire, D-
Wis., said he would try to get
the Joint Economic Committee
of Congress to move up its
hearings into wage-price con
trols ahead of the scheduled
April 24 starting date.
“Congress,” he said, “must
assert its authority and move
directly into the breach.”
End Advance Matter
Nixon Thursday issued a new
executive order changing the
former 15-member Pay Board
into a public panel to consist of
its present five public members
and equal representation from
the labor and business seg
ments. The resignation of
United Auto Workers President
Leonard Woodcock Thursday—
the fourth labor member of the
board to drop out—meant that
the new panel would consist of
seven members.
These would be the five
public members, the remaining

Fund cut threat
is suspended
WASHINGTON (UPI)-The
administration has suspended
the threat of fund cutoffs to
school districts and sought
court action in an effort to push
President Nixon’s program for
a temporary moratorium on
forced busing of school child
ren.
But opposition to the plan

mons—and one of the five
business members, yet to be
picked by the President.
Nixon said Woodcock, AFL
CIO President George Meany,
Steelworkers President I. W.
Abel and Machinists President
Floyd Smith were guilty of a
“disservice to the American
people” by their resignation;
and he said labor would not be
allowed to “torpedo and sink”
the fight against inflation.
The Pay Board will continue
as a single public unit, as the
Price Commission is, Nixon
said, and “all rules and
regulations remain in full force.
The fight against inflation will
go on until the American
consumer and the American
worker win the fight.”

continued today with the threat
of a senator from Nixon’s own
party to filibuster to death the
President’s school busing pro
gram in Congress.
In making the threat, Sen.
Lowdl P. Weicker Jr., R-Conn.,
said Nixon had proposed an
"unconstitutional” remedy and
failed to tell the public how
much it really would cost to
provide equal educational op
portunity for all children.
Nixon on March 16 asked
Congress to legislate a morator
ium on court-ordered busing of
school children to achieve
racial balance and proposed
spending $2.5 billion to improve
inner cfty schools.
Thursday, the administration
took two related steps:
—The Justice Department
asked U.S. District Court in
Detroit to defer action in a
Detroit school desegregation
case until Congress acts on
Nixon’s moratorium request.
The Detroit case calls for large
scale busing between the inner
dty and its predominantly
white suburbs. The court did
not immediately set a hearing
on the Justice Department
request.
—The Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW)
announced it was suspending
the threat of fund cutoffs from
school districts refusing to
desegregate until the school

busing issue is resolved. HEW
said it acted under a directive
from Nixon.
HEW Secretary Elliot L.
Richardson scheduled an appea
rance before a Senate education
subcommittee to defend Nixon’s
plan today, but Weicker in
remarks prepared for a Senate
floor speech complained that
Nixon had “left an impression
with the American people that
busing can be halted by simply
saying so to the courts” and
schools upgraded with a mini
mum of effort and expense.
“To all of which I respond,
‘no way,”’ Weicker said.

Something new
BOSTON (UPI) — It was
something new, even for the
veteran State House employes
who thought they had seen it
all.
The Capitol was thrown into
an uproar Thursday when a

25, trotted through the Boston
Common and charged into the
State House wearing only a
beard.
Police wrapped him in a
blanket and led him away.

He said this was not true.
“In fact, what has been
proposed is already an ongoing
program,” Weicker said. “No
new money has been recom
mended ... it’s like having your
Christmas gifts given back to
you as birthday presents.”
He said it would cost sl2
billion a year, not $2.5 billion,
to provide real equal education
