Temple ton Staff Writer The 1980-81 budget now being considered by Congress will mean fewer new units of public housing, and a tight squeeze on community development jt funds, according to Congressional black Caucus chairwoman Rep. Cardiss Collins, D.-ni. -v? Rep. Collins, awarded a Doctor of Law degree at the Winston-Salem State University commencement Sunday, said the public housing budget is being held at the 1979 level in a Chronicle interview. '"With an 18 per cent inflation rate this year and a 13 per cent rate last year, that amounts to a 31 per cent decrease," said Collins. "There will be fewer housing units going to start." The Chicago representative called a similar hold-the-line effort in community development "not sufficient to deal with the very serious problems." During her commencement speech, Collins called the budget, "an unmitigated disaster for the poor, the disadvant aged and minorities." She said the "The American public* is being exploited in this, a presidential election year, " by talk that a balanced budget would cure inflation. Collins told the 336 graduates that they had an obligation to participate in the C&g . ? ?' *'f t^M. -;y?-jS^B'^ Fowr generations of the Johnson family) Tanglewood Park.

"Apparently, our highest nation al priority is towards a growing tide o militarism. The CBC leader said the budget shouk have been balanced the way that th< caucus had proposed, by cutting taj loopholes and not increasing militar] spending, the so-called 44Human Need! Amendment." ' In an interview, Collins said th< caucus's loss on the amendment repre sented a gain because of the 105 votes th< group was able to muster either for th< motion or to vote present. "That's a bast we can build on," she said. The caucus will attempt to get more support in the future by telling black leaders in 80 congressional districts with black voter participation between 15 and 30 per cent whether their representatives voted with the caucus. She said only 13 ol the 80 had a good record during the lasl session.
