WASHINGTON - Rep. William Gray HI, D-Penn.,
and other black congressmen asked Republicans last
week to suppoit the effoiTTo creates Martin Luther King
Jr. national holiday.
"Did the Republican Party want to be put in the position
of being insensitive to the aspirations of minorities -which
already is a problem for the president?" asked
Gray.
After 14 years of watching the King holiday stalled in
the House, supporters of the bill have decided to court
their opponents rather than criticize them. On Aug.2,
many House Republicans and conservative Democrats

WASHINGTON - Government auditors recommended
last week disallowing $737,000 and formallv
questioned $1.1 million in federal grant and contract
funds to PUSH-EXCEL, a nonprofit group headed by
I the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson.
I In nine audits covering $4 million in grants and conI
tracts to the Jackson organization," Department of
Education auditors made an initial finding that nearly
half of the money either was not spent in accord with
federal guidelines or was claimed without adequate
documentation.
Many of the audited projects were federally-funded efforts
to improve student and parent attitudes toward
I education in black communities.

o Support King Holiday"
were persuaded to vote 4'yes" to the bill. The final tally
was 338-90. _
To persuade conservatives, who were primarily concerned
that another national holiday would be too costly
for the federal government, Rep. Katie Hall, D-Ind.,
amended the celebration from the day of King's birth,
Jan. 15, to the third Monday in January. She said it
would be far less expensive for the government to open its
offices once a week instead of twice.
If King's birthday were to become a national holiday,
it would be the nation's 10th.
Holding Workers

the laborers had been free to come 4hd go as they pleased.
But government witnesses told of having no money to
pay for trips home and said they owed the Warrens
money after the cost of their food, cigarettes and wine
was deducted from their pay.
The government contended that the defendants lured
the workers into working long days and kept them from =
saving money.
i With Misuse Of Funds
One such project involving a Washington, D.C.,
school claimed salaries for three people, the audit report
said, while the contract called for only one position. The
project also claimed photocopy supplies that were "not
incurred," said the report.
Jackson's associates said the investigation came at a
time when the civil rights leader is considering a presidential
bid.
Jackson, 41, said the audit reports are "selective
persecution" and "even the worst of the reports indicates
nothing illegal."
PUSH-EXCEL, an abbreviation for Push for Excellence,
is one of five organizations in the "PUSH family*'and
is headquartered in Chicago.

Child-Proof Ele
By THOMAS FL YNN f
Syndicated Columnist
The electrical outlet has to be a fascinating object for
the very young child. When Mommy and Daddy stick
plugs in them, all the most wonderful things happen ...
from light to music to television to the family meal.
No wonder the wise parent must stay on his or her toes
to keep electricity and children away from one another.
Even a very young child can understand the word
"no" and firm discipline when he or she plays with electrical
cords. The toddler's world is full of electric outlets
at about the child's eye level, so teaching the little one to
stay away from electrical cords and outlets is a matter of
the highest importance.
But even the most concerned parent can't be
everywhere. That's why another part of keeping the little
ones safe from electrical mishaps involves prevention making
it more difficult to reach dangerous electricity.
Here's how to make your child safer from electrical accidents,
even when you're not there to keep out a friendly
eye:
Begin by reducing the number of extension cords you
use. Not only is this a great way to reduce your general
risk of electrical fire, but it deprives your child of all
those long cords which are so inviting to chew on and tug
at - so easy to bite through or use to accidentally pull
down a hot lamp or other electrical appliance.
