An Act Os House Could
Wreck School 'Mixing’
WASHINGTON, D. C. - Just
as it did in 1968, the House
last week took a step that could
destroy the school desegrega
tion program. Once again it
passed an appropriations bill
(H. R. 13111) for the Department
of Labor and Health, Education
and Welfare (HEW) with amend
ments in it whose clear intent
is to help Southern districts
keep segregated schools.
The amendments are exactly
the same ones that their spon
sor, Rep. Jamie Whitten of Mis
sissippi added to last year’s
Labor-HE W Appropriations
bill. They got through the House
then, too, but the Seriate was
able to water down the lan
guage and render them virtual
ly harmless. Our hope in this
Congress lies with the Senate
again.
