Rep. Jones Reports From Washington
; ' The main topic of con
versation last week was the
Startling results of the presi
dential primary in Florida
|Ad later President Nixon’s
position on forced school
bussing. lam delighted that
the leaders of both races
have finally come to the con
'tdusion that the most im
portant factor in public edu
cation is that of providing
„#»e best quality possible,
you will recall that the
President recommended an
-appropriation of $2Vi billion
to upgrade the inferior
schools as one alternative to
bussing. But this, too, raises
another question: Will money
alone create quality educa
tion? A negative example is
here in the city school sys
tem of Washington, D. C.,
where the per pupil invest
ment is among the highest
In the nation, but yet by any
criteria, the school system is
among the poorest. In any
event, it will be interesting
to see what relief, if
the final results will pro
duce. I remain Convinced
the only solution as far as
the courts are - concerned is
to submit to the people of
this nation a constitutional
amendment, and then I am
reasonably confident that the
courts will abide by this
mandate where there remains

tion to Congressional action.
The approved a
supplemental appropriation
bill for $957 million, s9ll
million of this was neces
sary to continue the federal
participation in unemploy
ment compensation due to the
very high level of unemploy
ment that exists under this
administration. Another sl2
million provides for the pay
ment of insured student loans
which are currently in de
fault. Also, there was in ex
cess of SSOO million for claims
and judgments of individuals
against the federal govern
ment.
Another bill considered by
the House was an authoriza
tion to provide assistance to
the funding ,of the Rail Ser
vice Passenger Act. Realiz
ing the necessity of improved
mass transportation, it was
extremely difficult to vote
against this, but the original
act provided for an appro
priation of S4O million and
authcrily to borrow up to
SIOO million guaranteed by
federal government which
thqCqngress at that time was
assured was sufficient. Yet,
the bill before us last week
provided for an ultimate
grant of $l7O million, and in
addition, another guaranteed
borrowing authority in the
amount of SIOO million. This
raises the continuing ques
tion of how far the govern
ment should go in subsidiz
ing public services or private
enterprise. A most interest
ing amendment was one
which was approved which
provided that any officer of
AMTRAK Corporation .who
received an annual salary of
$60,000 must be paid out of
the profits of the corpora
tion. From past experience,
this was needless apprehen
sion.

Troubadors Now Touring U, S.
lyi Jilt
Seven young musical Brit
ishers who have made then
way three-quarters of the way
around the world on a double
decker bus, are now setting out
across the U.S.
The group, calling them
selves “the Philanderers,” have
had far more problems with
bridges, viaducts and tunnels
than with war, roads or wild
tribes in their 27,000 miles.
As a matter of fact, they’ve
i detoured half-way around the
world to avoid low overheads.
They’re taking to back roads
again on a coast-to-coast, 32
city U.S. tour from San Fran
cisco to New York.
Their bus is 14>/ 2 feet high
and built for narrow but lofty
places like Piccadilly Circus.
Most tunnels won’t take any
thing higher than 13 feet.
They’ve learned to carry a
14 Vi foot pole for measuring
since the time they sang for
the Shah of Iran. Right after
ward, they backed Into a 13,
foot Persian light pylon and’
knocked out all the electricity

tied tightly around the neck,
too, and was shot also. We
have seen them (tied with wire
also.
This seems to me to be a
'very inhuman way to treat
dogs. If they have to be
killed, couldn’t the town find
a more kind way to do it.
I am a student at John A.

think this town needs a

A sort of monument to free
spirit and enterprise, they have
paid their adventurous way
around the world as living ad
vertisements for British prod
ucts. Their U.S. tour is being
sponsored by BOAC, P & O

Tourist Authority. Their swank
British’ type clothes are fur
nished by Austin Reed of Re
gent Street, a division of Hart,
Schaffner and Marx.
The Philanderers play gui
tar, banjo, accordian and bass,
singing folk songs and ballads.
Originally from Liphook, Eng
land, they have crossed Eu
rope, Turkeyi Afghanistan, In
dia, Malaya and criss-crossed
Australia.
As for their name, it was a
mistake. Given them by an
Iranian nightclub owner, they
thought it meant homeless
wanderer. But they liked the
sound and have learned not to
mind the jokes. None of the
-Philanderers is even married.
