It ie .reported (hat President Johnson wants the anti-poverty bill passed be¬ fore the Dtmonastic convention in At¬ lantic City in August, The Republicans are expected to tight the .bill $25,000 Given to Sterilize Needy BEREA (AP) A New York businessman has contributed $25, 000 to finance free sterilization operations for a birth control pro¬ ject in a poor section of Kentucky. “I’m not a do-gooder,” said Jesse Hartman of New York. “I just want tb help in this fight on poverty.” The plan calls for the financing of 300 operations on needy parents who qualify. The six-month pilot program, called the Hartman Plan, is be¬ ing operated by the Human Better¬ ment Association for Voluntary Sterilization, which was organized in 1937. The association sets up local programs, accepts applications for sterilization, screens them and re¬ fers about one-fourth to physicians in the program. It drew criticism from church¬ men two years ago when its steri¬ lization clinic in Warrenton, Va., hospital became known. Operators of the Kentucky pro¬ ject hope to show sterilization is an effective weapon against pover¬ ty. They also hope President John¬ son will add it to his war on pover ty. Dr. Millard A. Shepherd, a state health officer, is confident the pro¬ ject will lead to sterilization pro¬ grams elsewhere. Those backing the project note several problems they face: 1. The Roman Catholic Church opposes any means of artificial birth control. . “Most physicians are in the dark” about sterilization and “hos¬ pitals have had many misgivings about the legal issue,” Shepherd said. 3. Shepherd said there are men who believe “the only way to prove you're a man is by having chil¬ dren" and they would decline to submit to an operation. 4. Shepherd said private funds, such as Hartman’s, will be used until “the time comes — and it must come — that public health de¬ partments and other agencies can appropriate funds for this. 99 a don’t gamble with tiro the odds are against y*u!

Poverty Program Offers Benefits r To Rural People New avenues of economic de¬ velopment will be opened up to low-income rural families under provisions of the Economic Oppor¬ tunities Act, a spokesman for the Farmers Home Administration told a regional gathering of FHA per¬ sonnel in Atlanta. Howard national admin¬ istrator of the organization, de¬ scribed the “poverty program” as the first really correlated attempt to deal with the causes of poverty — both ruarl and urban — and said that it will enable the Farm* ers Home Administration to be far more effective in helping the rural people who are really at the bot¬ tom of the income scale. Three major areas of concern for his organization, Mr. Bertsch continued, will be the rural poor, the family farm, and the rural community. “Boxed-in” farm families with no place to go — the “poorest of the poor may obtain capital they need to increase their farm in¬ comes under provisions of the pro¬ gram. Sucha capital would take the form of $1,500 grants subject to the same planning and supervision that has gone into the loan pro¬ gram carried out by the organiz¬ ation since the early 1930’s. This feature of the bill, he said, has been widely misunderstood. “We are not attempting to make commercial farmers out of these people. They win take the grant and use it with managerial ability they have to make life a little more livable. By adding a small amount to their income, they can remain self-reliant. >9 The bill will also authorize help to low-income rural families en¬ gaged in rural-based but non-agri cultural enterprises such as the production of handicraft items and the development of small repair shops for servicing household ap¬ pliances and farm machines. The second aspect of the bill would provide capital to non-profit corporations of local leaders set up in a community to aid young men, with education and ability, to be¬ come farm owners. Such corpor¬ ations, with FHA loans, would buy up farm lands as it became avail¬ able, reconstitute it into family size farms and sell it at agricul¬ tural prices to young men deemed likely to succeed. The corporation, if the need arises, can take a loss on the trans¬ action with the Farmers Home Ad¬ ministration making up the dif¬ ference. FHA loans would be avail¬ able, if needed, to the young men purchasing the farms. A third new area of work for the FHA would be that of making loans to small cooperatives whose members are primarily from low income groups. Such loans would enable the cooperatives to achieve efficiencies in operation through the purchase of new machinery or by other means. “You cannot divorce the famiy farm from the rural community and you can’t build attractive com¬ munities without prosperous farms,” the FHA administrator said in emphasizing the organiz¬ ation’s interest in the community as well as the individual farm. He pointed out that it is help¬ ing rural communities build water systems. Several of these are lo¬ cated in Georgia. It is helping rural communities to develop com¬ munity recreation facilities. It is assisting rural communities to de¬ velop housing for their senior citi¬ zens and farm laborers, added.
