Congressman Walter B. Jones
Reports on Congress Activities
The House of Representatives
had a relatively short work week,
inasmuch as no legislative busi
ness was considered on Thurs
day or Friday, due to th£ Jew
ish holidays. Much of the fe
maining time was spent in the
consideration of Conference Re
ports; some of the main meas
ures cleared were the Railroad
Safety Act to provide for feder
al railroad safety and hazardous
materials control; legislation to
provide for continued financing
for the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting, the Military Pro
curement Authorization, and an
authorization for the Communi
cable Disease Control Act.
The main legislation consider
ed by the House this week was
that affecting the various trans
portation systems of our nation.
The Urban Mass Transportation
Assistance Oct of 1970 was ap
proved which provides long term
financing for expanded urban
mass transportation programs.
One important amendment
adopted reduced the original au
thorization request from $5 bil
lion to $3. 'billion. All members
— of the North Carolina delegation
voted in favor of this reduction,
with Congressmen Jonas and Mi
zell recorded as “not voting.”
With the expansion of the na
tion’s urban population — it is
estimated that 7 out of 10 Am
ericans live in urban areas —
the dempnd for urban transpor
tation has also grown. This de
mand has largely been met by
increased private automobile
ownership andbew highway con
struction; but the urban public
transportation industry has ex
perienced declining patronage
and net revenues. Basically, the
bill just passed will provide Fed
eral'financial assistance in the
form of loans and grants to de
velop new modes of public trans
portation and improve existing
transit systems.
Another ' bill passed by the
House authorizes an additional
appropriation of $21.7 million
portation industry to attract Con
gressional attention this week
was that of the airlines. In re
sponse to the increasing occur
rence and: violence of aircraft
hijacking and other danger
caused to airline passengers, a
bill was passed which raises the
renue for, and authorizes ex
penditures from the Airport and
Airway Trust Fund to pay for
the training, salaries, and oth
er expenses of guards to accom
pany U. S. flag air carriers for
the protection of persons and
property abroad.
The approximate amount of
the cost to the trust fund is to
be obtained from a temporary
increase in the domestic air pas
senger ticket tax from 8 per
cent to 8.5 per cent. This tax
increase is effective for transpor
tation beginning after October
31,1970 and before July 1,1972.
These increases are made for
the House will recess on Octob
er 15 through November 9 in
view of the Congressional elec
tions throughout the country,
a temporary period to provide
time for the appropriate agen
cies to explore whether the pay
ment for guards in this manner
represents the best solution to
this problem and also to see
whether this program continues
to be necessary for a longer
period of time.
WHAT IS THE
ANSWER?
by Henry 6. Garrett, Ph.D.
PROFESSOR EMERITUS
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
PAST PRESIDENT
AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
Q: Dr. Garrett, the ether day
I heard a speaker say that what
we need it quality integrated ed
ucation. I thought I'd get your
reaction tb that.
A: The statement simply is not
true. The reasons are simple.
The Negro child lags, on the. av
erage, one-to-three grades be
hind the White child of the same
age. This in elementary school.
In high school, this lag becomes
a chasm. A school which is 50-50
Negro and White has lower a
chievement, poorer teaching,
and more disciplinary problems
than it would have if it were not
integrated. The Negro child
lags behnd the White by 15-to
20 IQ points. If education is
“quality” there can be only a
minimum of integration and care
ful selection of those Negro pu
pils integrated. Good teachers,
needless to add, are essential.
