Congressional consideration. President Nixon won assurances td that ' effect . from Qiogressional leaders a few das ago at the White House. TW-economic legislation which tHeresident is expected to send ttfjCongress proposes the repeal of -the seven percent excise tax oliSautomobiles, a new in vrient credit program for ' business, and a speed-up of the elective date of the $750 per sonal income tax exemption to ''J&uary'l, 1972. ;-Vlth the money crisis fotemost on the minds of everyone, there is also the prospect that other measures ' may be introduced to fight in flation and unemployment, siijoe the Administration has beeft under steady pressure for . months from Capitol Hill to take aotwn to improve the economy. . -The shift in the Ad ministration's money policy is aWjost certain to have some effect on several of the .Pitisident's major proposals -revenue-sharing and the guaranteed annual income for welfare families. When the wi&ge-price-tax-budget plan was ' announced on August 15th, it wa. stated that the Ad ministration was deferring the effective date of any revenue sharing and welfare reforms for peitods of as much as one year. Since both of these measures were in some trouble already, the:-President's action is not likely to improve the chances for their passage at this session. New environmental legislation seems likely to win nnai approval soon, most uiteiy tnis-will be in the form of a 3 ,yeSu construction program for water treatment facilities.

HUGHES 1LVD. . 011 335 50J0 Hertford, N. C, Thursday, September 2, 1971 Public Works Committee has scheduled hearings on water pollution control measures on September 13.: The House-Senate conference report on the bill to extend the draft, which was approved ny the House just before the recess, will be taken up by the Senate on September 13. Opponents of the measure have already maicaiea that thev will aeain enease in extended debate in an effort to set a deadline for the with drawal of U. S. troops from Indochina. My own feeling is that Congress ought to extend the draft for a penoa ot two years and leave it to the President to work out the with idrawal schedule for our troops as he determines oest tor our national interests. Four out of fourteen regular appropriation bills have yet to be approved, Out even so mis is much better than in any recent year. The remaining regular money bills are for defense, military construction, foreign aid, and the District of Columbia. The foreign aid authorization bill, in spite of the President's August 15 pledge to cut overseas assistance by ten percent, is again in trouble. This time a hassle has developed between the Secretary of Defense and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee over the withholding by the Department of certain requested information. Chairman Fulbright indicates that the Committee may not consider the foreign aid authorization until the in formation issue is resolved. As always, there are predictions of early ad journment, but with so many issues yet to be acted upon, this appears to be more hope than I substance.

The other counties which have already adopted the community college district plan are Gates, Perquimans, Pasquotank, and Dare. '.:-',-:' V'-' Dr. S. Bruce Petteway, president of COA. stated that he was particularly pleased that Currituck officials have adopted the plan because they did so at a time when their budgetary needs were extremely bur dening on available resources. In commenting on the general acceptance of the plan region wide, he said that the college is indeed fortunate to have the kind of leadership which has been shown by all of the com missioners in the College of The Albemarle seven county service area.

Neighborhood Youth Corps (NYC) projects provided work opportunities for approximately 13,396 boys and girls from poverty income families in North Carolina during the summer months. The U.S. Department of Labor's Regional Manpower Administrator William U. Norwood of Atlanta said today that Federal funds in the amount of $5,223,100 were made available for the projects, conducted in various sections of the State. The goals of the summer program are to provide ear nings, work experience and supportive services to poor family youths to stay in school HOUSINC WOES Federal housing officials, lacing serious cost and man agement problems, says there is a possibility the poor will be priced out of the govern ment's mushrooming miltibil-Uon-dollar subsidized-apart-ment program.

The Neighborhood Youth Corps, established in 1964 under the Economic Opportunity Act, has three main components - an in-school program designed to provide paid jobs for youth inclined to drop out of school, and thus encourage their con tinued school enrollment; the summer program, with similar objectives; and an out-of-school program for youth up to age 17 who have already left school and need work experience and remedial education to complete in the job market.
