Of Setbacks for
The President
WASHINGTON - The
Nixon Administration has been
ordered to spend several
million dollars in education
funds that it had impounded
through an economy drive.
And another federal judge
ordered the administration to
stop plans of closing eight
Public Health Service hospitals.
Both decisions, which came
in U.S. District Court here,
were the latest in a series of
judicial setbacks for the
President in his fight to
impound congressionally
authorized funds.
U.S. Judge Oliver Gash, who
found that HEW must release
Sl.l million under the
National Defense Education
Act to the state of
Massachusetts and the District
of Columbia, said the law
"requires the Commissioner of
Education to allot among the
states money" approved by the
Congress.
At the same time, Judge
John Pratt, a Republican,
agreed with the Seafarers
Union that there was sufficient
cause to grant an injunction,
He had earlier issued a

Industrialization Centers announced recently that Sen. Russell W.

of the co-sponsors of the manpower training bill, challenged his
colleagues to participate in such self-help programs as OIL ana
said President Nixon's family assistance plan and New York Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller's workfare plan "failed to provide the
motivation necessary to reduce welfarism."

Ala Agrees To Halt Sterilizations
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Alabama Department of Mental
Health last week agreed to halt the sterilization of mentally
retarded youths at a state hospital until a court hearing is held.
Attorney George W. Dean Jr. had asked for a temporary
injunction to bar the hospital from performing sterilizations, but
U.S. District Court Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. said the
restraining order was not needed since the defendants had
voluntarily agreed to comply with Dean's request.
The sterilization halt comes in the wake of a $5 million suit
filed by Minnie and Mary Alice Relf, two teen-age Montgomery
girls, against local and federal officials charging they were
sterilized without their informed consent.

WASHINGTON - Ester Williams, 22, a native of Waukegan,

Another queen selected recently was 16-year-old Edna Hill, of
Columbia, Md., who was crowned Miss Black Teen-age America in
New York last week. Said Ms. Hill, "you don't have to look
beautiful and you don't have to win a contest to walk proud."

Block Srudenfs,
WASHINGTON Private,
all-white schools cannot refuse
to admit blacks solely because
of race, U.S. District Court
Judge Albert Bryan Jr. ruled
last week in handing down
decisions in two cases involving
Northern Virginia Schools.
The decision nullified
contentions by the Southern
Independent Schools
Association, representing 395
private schools, that the two
schools, Bobbe's Private School
in Arlington and the Fairfax
Brewster School in Fairfax
County, have a right to admit
or refuse anyone they wanted.
The Association had intervened
as a party to the suit and, thus,
is bound by Bryan's decision.
George S. Leonard, an
attorney for the Association,
conceded that the decision will
have wide-ranging effects and
said it means that "there is no
longer a place of refuge for any
group."
As a result of the suits filed
by Mr. and Mrs. Curtis
McCrary and Mr. and Mrs.
Raymond Gonzales, who
claimed the schools refused to
enroll their children because of
their race, the 395 private
schools in seven Southern
stales which are affiliated with
the Association, including 45
others in Virginia, will be
affected by Judge Bryan's
decision.
Officials of both schools
denied that race was the reason
for denying admission to the

two black children. They
maintained that the children
were not accepted because
they were not qualified. After
hearing arguments early last
month, Bryan took the case
under advisement on July 17.
He said he based his
decision on the Civil Rights
Act of 1866 which provides
that "all persons ... shall have
the same right to make and
enforce contracts as is enjoyed
by whites."

WASHINGTON - The
Department of Housing and
Urban Development has asked
the Justice Department to seek
a stay and reconsideration of a
federal court order to reinstate
the subsidized housing
program.
The program, which was
frozen in January by then
HUD Secretary George
Romney, has not really helped
the poor people it was designed
to, the Administration
contends.
More than 2.8 million
persons are living in the
727,426 apartments and
houses built under the
five-year-old program. The
President told the Congress
that he would submit new
housing program to them by
Sept. 7, when the program was
frozen.
In announcing the decision
to try and overturn the ruling
of U.S. District Court Judge
Charles Richey, HUD Secretary
James T.Lynn said:
"Reinstating programs that
we know involve substantial
inequities and easte is not in
the best interest of either the
people we want to help obtain
housing or the taxpayers."
But Judge Richey ruled that
Congress appropriated $431
million for the rent supplement
programs last year and HUD
must accept new appUcation
for subsidies and process the
ones they have now.
Programs affected by the
judge's order are rent
supplements, the home
ownership program under

BATON ROUGE - The

Previously, a blue ribbon

Women's Bureau within the U.
S. Department of Labor, has

state government.
The state secretary of
Human Resources, David

Fla. Court Upholds State's Death Penalty
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida Supreme Court last week
upheld the state's new death penalty law in a 5-to-2 opinion
which said the measure contains sufficient safeguards against bias
and whimsy.
The first enacted after the U.S. Supreme Court banned capital
punishment nationwide last year, the state law calls for a
two-stage trial with the jury advising the judge on the penalty and
the judge alone making the decision. If the sentence is death, the
State Supreme Court must review it and could reduce the
sentence to life imprisonment.
Civil rights lawyers and public defenders who had challenged
the act said they would seek an appeal to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
WASHINGTON Almost
260,000 of the nation's
workers shared more than $40
million in back wages during
the 1973 fiscal year as a result
of the U.S. Department of
Labor's enforcement of federal
wage and hour laws.
Secretary of Labor Peter J.
Brennan said many of these
workers simultaneously
received pay increases to bring
their wage rates up to levels
required by the federal
minimum wage, overtime, and
equal pay laws.
Brennan reported more than
half of the total $40,125,537
restored, or $24,180,748, went
into the pockets of 153,945
employees who failed to
receive the required
time-and-one-half overtime pay
rate for hours worked after 40
in one week.
Another 3,326 workers
employed on government
contracts were restated
$304,215, after it was found
that they had not been paid
the required time-and-one-half
for all hours worked after eight
in one day.
The department's Wage and
Hour Division supervised the
payment of $9,593,056 in
.back wages owed to 95,872
employees under minimum
wage provisions of the Fair
Labor Standards Act.
Violations of other
minimum wage laws which
protect employees engaged in
government contract work
were corrected when 5,791
workers received back wage

anniversary of the historic
"Jobs for Freedom" March on
Washington, the NAACP has
devoted much of the
AugustSeptember issue of its
magazine THE CRISIS, to an
assessment of the intervening
period and a recapitulation of
the major speeches and
activities of that event.
Speeches by such civil rights
leaders as Roy Wilkms.
executive director of the
NAACP, A. Philip Randolph,
veteran civil rights and labor
leader; Martin Luther King, Jr.,
martyred head of the Southern
Christian Leadership
Conference; and the late
Whitney Young, Jr., who
headed the National Urban
League, set the tone of the day
and crystalized the demands of
Negroes for the next 10 years.
That much of those
demands have still been unmet
is a fact clearly recognized by
civil rights leaders today.

begins THE CRISIS editorial,

harmony, the sense of common
cause, the embroyonic budding
of hope for universal human
brotherhood which emerged

Current times are ripe for
such assessments.

A Profile Of
Our Two Civil
Rights Groups
While the Southern
Christian Leadership
Conference seems to be
floundering due to a lack of
adequate financial resources
and, as some would have us
believe, dynamic and
competent leadership, the
Urban League is alive and well
and enjoying a superabundance
of just about everything as
demonstrated at its 63rd
annual conference in
Washington last week.
And, while the two
organizations have the same
goal obtaining equality of
opportunity for poor people,
which usually means blacks
their membership, influence,
and modus operandi differ
about as much as their present
financial status.

resignation as head of SCLC,
