Fountain Hopes Parents Will Be Given Choice WASHINGTON, D. C. -Con gressman L. H. Fountain ex pressed the hope Saturday the House and Senate would retain language approved by House and Senate Conferees glvingparents some degree of choice of schools they wish their children to attend. The wording was contained In the conference report on H.E.W. appropriations Just approved by the conferees. The report is to be filed in both houses Mon day. "On the basis of news re ports," Fountain said, "it ap pears the conferees retained at least some of the amend ment* approved overwhelm ingly by the House. Inciden tally, this was the third time In as many years that the House has expressed Its will In no uncertain terms." The effect of the language would be to forbid H.E.w. to force any child to attend a school against the wishes of his parent* and would prevent H. E.W. from withholding funds from any school district in an effort to force It to assign pupils to particular schools. "This amendment would not fwl desegregation- which Is a fact all over the South," Foun tain said. "It was solely to "This threat of force, which a Federal court has found to be a fact In at least one case, is being used to disrupt entire school systems, contrary to the best Interests of all the chil dren. "Education no longer seems to be of much value In the eyes of the H.E.W. bureaucrats charged with the responsibility of administering the law," he said. Fountain said "We must In sist that Education?and quali ty education at that?be restored as the prime function of our public schools. The language adopted by the conferees would be a step in that direction and I hope tt will be confirmed as soon as possible by both the House and Senate." "It is regrettable that this language Is restricted to an appropriations bill and Is not written Into a legislative act which would prevent some fed eral courts from going beyond the bounds of reasonableness, compassion and understand ing," Fountain saUL "However, If the Congress does approve thicJanguagtr, let us hop e the courts will see the handwriting on the wall and Drunk Driving Cases Aired In Rec.
