Nixon Administration Takes 2nd
look At Program Social Cuts
WASHINGTON - Under in
tense questioning by members
of a Senate subcommittee, Hea
lth, Education and Welfare Sec
retary Caspar Weinberger dis
closed that the Nixon Adminis
tration is taking a second look
at its previously announced
plans, to cut Federal funds for
social service programs.
Weinberger said the Admin
istration has decided to aban
don a proposed regulation that
would have prevented private,
charitable contributions from
being used in whole or in part
as local matching funds by
states a nd localities applying
for Federal funds for social
services.
He also said that, other pro
posed regulations would be re
viewed "sympathetically" dur
ing lite next few weeks before
final, action is taken. Critics
of the regulation had labelled
them as regressive and self
defeating. When asked about the Ad
ministration's proposal to cut
the ceiling on spending for
social services from $2.5 billion
Minority Legislators Affilated
With N. C. Central U. Law School
Three of the four minority
group legislators in the 1973
North Carolina General As
sembly have been connected
with the School of Law of
North Carolina Central Uni
versity. The three are the
Hons. Henry C. Frye, H. M.
Michaux, Jr. and Henry Ox
endine. Henry Oxendine, the most
recent addition to the State
Legislature, was sworn in on
March 19, to fill an unex
pired term as a Representa
tive from Robeson County.
Mr. Oxendine, an Indian, is
presently enrolled at NCCU
Law School as a third year
student. He is the first Indian
to serve in the General As
sembly. A graduate of Pembroke
State College, Mr. Oxendine
taught in the Robeson Coun
ty school system before at
tending law school.
Henry Frye, a member of
the House of Representatives,
was formerly a law professor
at NCCU Law School. Mr.
Frye served as a faculty
member at the Law School
from 1964 to 1967.
Mr. Frye was the first
Black elected to the North
Carolina General since Recon
struction and is in his third
term as a representative from
Guilford County.
H. M. Michaux, Jr., an
alumnus of NCCU Law
School was elected to the
legislature during the last
general election. Prior to his
election to the General As
sembly, Mr. Michaux served,
as Assistant Solicitor for
Durham County. Mr. Michaux
is a partner in Union Insur
ance and Realty Co.
The other minority group
legislator, Rep. Joy Johnson
of Robeson County, has
worked closely with Messrs.
Frye and Michaux on several
legislative bills concerning
the rights of minorities.
to $1.8 billion, Weinberger,
said the lower figure was based
on state estimates of the sums
they will seek and on "the
expectations from the proposed
regulations." However, he con
ceded tha t if the states sought
more than $1.8 billion, their
requests "will be honored" up
to the ceiling of $2.5 billion.
The administration's new
posture came in conjunction
with a move by bipartisan
groups in both the House and
the Senate to nullify through
legislation proposed HEW regu
lations that they contend
would cause thousands of
working poor to go on already
over crowded welfare rolls.
One of the main sponsors
of the Senate bill, Sen. Jacob
K. Javits, R-N-Y., pointed out
specifically the hardship such
rules would impose in his area.
Javits, who described the
bill as "legislative guidance,"
said HEW "has given notice

Senator Hugh
Scott Supports
Minority Group
WASHINGTON U. S. Sen
ator Hugh Scott (RrPa.) sup
ported legislation to give
minority businessmen greater
access to major sources of
private investment capital. .
The proposed measure
would authorize the Small
Business Administration to
guarantee up to 70 of the
purchase price paid by in
vestment companies and oth
er private investors for se
curities issued by minority
businesses. The new program
would be similar to other
programs under which the
Federal Government now
guarantees loans, but it would
directly benefit m i nority
businesses by making capital
investments in them more
attractive.
The Senate Republican
Leader said the proposed
federal guarantees would
"greatly reduce the risk fac
tor" which has heretofore
hindered the efforts of mi
nority businesses to seek pri
vate financing.
"The result for minority
businesses," he predicted,
"would be a new access to
wider forms of investmem
opportunities."
