First medicare premium notices are in the matl to more than 2 million of the elderly people who
signed up for the voluntary doctor bill insurance to supplement their basic hospital insurance
under medicare, Don Skaggs, District Manager for Social Security in East Point, announced today.
Another 15 million older people enrolled for the doctor bill insurance will not receive premium
notices, Skaggs sald, Thelir $3 premiums will be deducted from their monthly social security,
raflroad retirement, or civil service benefit checks, beginning with the checks due early in
July, In additfon, a number of states will be paying the premiums for their old age assistance
recipients under agreements with the Social Security Administration,
The premium notices now being delivered, Skaggs sald, call for quarterly payments of $9, pay
ment for the doctor bill insurance protection for the months of July, August, and September.
This s one=half the cost of the protection; the other half s paid out of general Federal revenues,
with the punch card premium notice {s a return envelope pre-addressed to one of six social
security payment centers which are located in New York, Philadelphia, Birmingham, Chicago,
Kansas City, and San Francisco, Payment should be made by check or money order payable to
«soclal Security Medical Insurance,’” Skaggs sald, .
Older persons who cannot manage to make the quarterly premium payment of $9 may send
in a payment of $6 for two months coverage, or $3 for one month, Skaggs said, Or if they have any
questions about the premium payments, they may get in touch with their social security district
offices. Premium payments for medical insurance are due on or before the first day of each
month of coverage, he pointed out,

FORM 441-B FOR SCHOOL
(Editor’s Note: This is another in the ‘‘LaGrange College Perspectives,” a weekly series of in=-
formative and interpretative articles on current affairs and problems. It was prepared for The
Forest Park News by the faculty of the Methodist. coeducational, senior college in LaGrange, Ga.)
BY DR, WALTER M, SHACKELFORD
Education Department, LaGrange College
¢441-B"” s a designation which has become well-known to admimstrative bodies of all public
schools, It is the number of a form recently distributed by the U.S, Department of Health, Edu=
catlon and Welfare (HEW) through its agency, U.S, Office of Education (USOE), to school boards
for their signatures, When signed, it became a contract guaranteeing a school district’s com=
pliance with new segregation regulations promulgated by USOE.
Boards of Education probably know the regulations of 441-B well, But how well do the taxpayer=-
citizens know what their representatives have signed? :
In the first place they have signed an order which clearly is in violation of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, Form 441-B says that all federal funds will be ‘“subjected to deferral for school systems
which have failed to submit HEW Form 441-B.” Congress expressly forbids this in the 1964 act
by detailing a sequence of steps which USOE must follow before funds may be “withheld.” None
of these steps includes 441-B nor is included in 441-B, How was the will of Congress thwarted?
By the use of the word *deferral” in place of “withheld,” But, deferred or withheld, the money
may never reach the school district.
Secondly, school boards have signed a contract that is binding in any court of law, It declares
that the signers agree to follow new desegregation regulations issued by USOE, It further states,
tthe applicant (school district) also agrees that it will comply with any amendment of the regula
tions,” To many, this implies that the school system agrees to abide by any future ¢‘whimsical”
regulations of USOE,
USOE Commissioner Harold Howe 111 has denied that 441-B is a ‘“‘blank check,” providing ac
ceptance of future revistons of the desegregation regulations. He said, ‘‘The form states that a
school district may take exception to any future revision if it wishes to,” Yes, it can take ‘‘ex
ception to,” But nowhere in 441-B is there a clause stating that an objecting school will not have
its federal money deferred.
Thirdly, 441-B not only obligates the school board signing it but also future school boards.
This is contrary to policy in many school systems, Texas, as an example, prohibits a school
board from making such an agreement,
Lastly, the general tone of USOE regulations concerning faculty clearly requires that schools
must desegregate their teaching staffs, This is not for the sake of providing a better education,
but for the sake of desegregation--another violation of the Civil Rights Act, Section 604 of the
act specifically states:
“Nothing contained in this title shall be construed to authorize action under this title by any
department or agency with respect to employment practices for any employer . . . except where
a primary objective of the federal financial assistance is to provide employment,”
Federal financial assistance to schools is not primarily to provide employment, but to help
finance the growing costs of education, Yet, the USOE regulation states:
“Race, color or national origin may not be a factor in the hiring or assignment to schools . . .
of teachers . . . except to correct the effects of past discriminatory assignments.,””
What should a school board have done: Refused to sign 441-B and risked having its federal aid
“deferred?” Signed 441-B and risked losing control of its schools? Time, perhaps, will provide
the answer. One school system refused to sign 441-B and, instead, adopted a resolution declaring
its intent to obey the Civil Rights Act.
Small wonder, indeed, that some suggest a more appropriate title for the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW) should be Department of Public Health, Education and Welfare
(PHEW!),
