R. Nixon’s
Planning
NEW YORK-Sen. Abraham A.
Rlbicoff warned Monday that
government approved de facto
segregation is leading the na
tion down the road to apartheid.
The Connecticut Democrat, In
a signed article in the current
issue of Look Magazine, said
recent actions by President
Nixon and Congress “have
strengthened my conviction”
that the country is moving to
ward a strict separation of the
black and white races.
He te'rmed the desegregation
program of the President de
ficient since it only provides
financial help to de jure school
systems which have to desegre
gate. Nixon, Rlbicoff said, has
called de facto segregation “un
desirable” but said that this
administration would make no
moves to end it.
Nixon’s program on de facto
segregation, the Senator said,
“doesn’t require anything of
anyone. It is purely voluntary.
If you want to desegregate, fine.
There will be money to help
you over the hurdles. If you
don't, (hat’s OK, too. It’s not
illegal. The decision is yours.
