NEWS BRIEFS BY NEGRO PRESS INTERNATIONAL NIXON’S STAND WASHINGTON - School districts trying to perpetuate racial segregation should be denied federal aid, according to Presi dent Richard M. Nixon. The President declared' himself flatly opposed to school segregation. But he said he believed federal officials shoutd exhaust other means of persuasion be fore using the “ultimate weapon’’ of'denying funds and closing schools in efforts to combat segregation. FOR A CHANGE CHICAGO - The student takeover the University of Chicago administration building provides an education controversy in which few Black people--for a change—are involved. The students are angry because Mrs. Marlene Dixon, assistant professor of sociology, is to be let go. Other youths, angry about the occupation, have stormed the administration build ing and attacked the sit-ins. Each group evidently regards its own brand of coercive force as more acceptable than the next. REPRIEVE BLASTED WILLIAMSTON, N. C. - Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive director, has denounced a two-month desegregation reprieve granted by the Nixon administration to the local school dis tricts. The “terrible decision” by Robert H. Finch, secre tary of Health, Education and Welfare, amounted to little more than “coddling!!” school districts, Wilkins charged. Finch has given the districts a March 30 deadline for com-" ing up with satisfactory desegregation plans. STANDARD URGED WASHINGTON - A national minimum welfare standard has been urged by Robert H. Finch, U. S. secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. The standard is needed, he said, to close the gap between the lew amount of aid offered in South ern states and the relatively higher benefits offered in North ern states. The disparity in welfare payments has “an enormous effect on the flow of people. . . from one place to a noiher,” Finch said. It is the federal governement’s job to straighten out these differences, he added. AID DENIED NEW YORK - Mrs. Louvenia Day, mother of 12 children has been denied welfare aid on the ground that she came to this state with the sole aim of going to relief. The State Com mission of Social services upheld a New York city decision denying her welfare aid. Nine of Mrs. Day’s children came with her to Nq.w York from Mississippi. Her case points up the tragic effect of the disparity between low welfare pay ments in Southern states and higher payments in Northern states. BIGOTRY BLAMED WASHINGTON - White Southern prison guards' brutality and bigotry have contributed to the anti-white hostility and crimin ality of many of the city’s young Negroes, according to reports released by the local government. The reports characterized Lorton prison as a probable source of rising racial tension, The guards* lack of sympathy with the militancy of the pri son's young urban Negroes has helped make a major segment of the Negro Inmate population more hostile, one of the re ports said. ALL KINDS NSW YORK Two Black leaders have come out against ail kinds of racism—both Black and White. Simeon Gol&r, newly designated chairman of New York’s Commission on Human Rights, said he would seek to combat bigotry, whether directed at Negroes, Jews, or Puerto Ricans. And former baseball star Jackie Robinson, to a recent magazine article, has asserted that he finds Black racism as repugnant as its white counterpart. I j «4L *jd n . * : WILLIAM H.
