While the placement agenc-
y. which refers applicants to
Congressional offices, admits
to bias, they contend that
there is no evidence that
Representatives or Senators
themselves had personally
placed a job order containing
racial or religious limitations.
They also deny that it is
their policy to employ such
discrimination in their hiring
practices. The agency says
that they merely •'accept the
riteria slated hy the person
requesting assistance..." but
that they would not require
verficalion of requirements by
the Congressional offices.
Eugene Peters, who heads
the placement office, said that
he personally reviewed 4,000
to 5.0(10 job requests from
Congressional offices and that
he found 25 requests that
specified either •whiU? only”
or "no minorities" under a
section on the form headed
special requirements.

WASHINGTON - Presisent
Ford has signed a controver
sial school aid bill which
former President Nixon, at
one time, threatened to veto
The $25 billion measure was
described by Ford as a
"good." but "not perfect bill”
and he suggested that he was
signing it in the "spirit of
cooperation and conciliation."
The bill, however, contains
the strongest anti-busing ap
proved by the Congress and
signed into public law to date.
Those provisions restrict fed
eral courts from ordering
busing of children beyond the
next closest school to a child's
home
But judges are given tue
leeway to order more distant
busing if needed to meet the
'constitutional rights of black

That option open to the
courts, plus rejection of
