B-2 THE STATE JOURNAL Feb. 9, 1972 Chicano. Aid Put in County Budget stand would be unpopular with many of his fellow commissioners, said, "We've got to take a cold hard look at how we use the taxpayers' money and how we will use it in the future." Approval of funds for the Cooperative Extension project and the Minority Development Fund, he argued, opens the door for further such expenditures. "When we enter into this type of program," White added, "the whole board would be aware that we are beginning an entirely new venture for Ingham County HE QUESTIONED whether such expenditures were proper for the county to make and suggested they might merely duplicate other services available to minority groups. "It's not that I do not believe In theso programs for minorities or what they are trying to do," White explained, "but I am trying to think of the welfare of the entire county and what we can do with this money to benefit the entire county to the greatest extent." He asked establishment of a special committee to consider all requests for money fiom the Minority Development Fund.

THIS, HE said, would allow the board to vote more intelligently on the questions. Robert Riker, R-Lansing, said he agreed with White "to some extent" and joined with him in opposing the establishment of the new Cooperative Extension project. David C. Hollister, D-Lan-sing and a leader in the movement to obtain funds for minority development, said he appreciated White's sincerity in opposing the expenditure, "but I question his judgement." "I'VE BEEN pushing and tugging to get the county to do this for three years," he said. "And in that time I've seen programs come and go, but I have yet to see one that meets minority needs.

Most programs are designed to meet the needs of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant young people." Hollister he disgreed with White that establishment of a $35,000 Minority Development Fund is "a massive step" in relation to the entire county budget and the population off Ingham County. 'This is less than five cents per person in the county," he said. "I think that if everyone in Ingham County could contribute a nickel that would go for betterment of minorities, they would be glad to do it." Fumdsi 3 Minorities Request By HUGH LEACH State Journal Staff Writer MASON A new division of the county budget aimed at aiding Chicanos in Lansing and Ingham County has been set up by the County Board of Commissioners over the objections of two members. The new $10,000 division, known as Cooperative Extension-Special Project, will provide office space and equipment and other supportive services for a person who will work with Chicano youths through the Cooperative Extension program. JAMES MULVANY, county extension agricultural agent, said Michigan State University will pay the salary of the worker.

There are three major goals of the project, Mulvany said. One is to promote career awareness among Chicano youths. A second is to work with Chicanos in the area of nutrition to promote greater use of foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, "which they are not now using to the extent that they should," he added. A third aim is to promote leadership within the community for establishment of youth groups. MULVANY SAID he anticipates attempting to get members of the Chicano community involved in the selection of the worker.

Charles P. White, R-Okemos, objected to the expenditure, noting that it closely parallels the goals under the county's Minority Development Fund. That fund, about $35,000, was set aside within the county contingent fund for projects designed to aid minority groups. WHITE, WHO admitted his Moore Infant MASON The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Lynn JOHN GEIGER Legionnaire Says U.S. Weakening An Inadequate defense system threatens to turn the United States Into a second-rate power, the American Legion national commander said here Tuesday night.

This would leave the nation incapable of insuring the security or freedom of its people, John H. Geiger told a Legion state legislative dinner at the Civic Center. HE CITED a report by the Blue Ribbon Defense Panel, issued more than a year ago, which indicated a shift in the balance of power in favor of the Soviet Union. The report noted the Soviets had a growing superiority in I were committing greater resources than the United States to strategic weapons, were trying to overtake U.S. technological superiority, and may be seeking a preemptive first-strike capability.

Geiger expressed concern that few Americans seem disturbed by the report's gravity. went a drug between the school and the home and to break down barriers between students and parents. This, he added, Is especially true in black neighborhoods. The Department of Urban Affairs at Michigan State University has already pledged support to the program, Kelly said, and preliminary discussions with Lansing Board of Education members has indicated they will support it. "OTHER FUNDS will be available once we prove this program will work," he explained.

Also before the commissioners is a proposal to spend $7,000 to implement a daily non-commercial Spanish education radio program for the benefit of the Chicano community. The program would be operated by Lansing-based Sol de By HUGn LEACn State Journal Writer MASON The first funds have yet to be expended from Ingham County's Minority Development Fund, but it appears that the day when such funds will be appropriated is not far off. As of Tuesday the county board of commissioners has three proposals before it calling for appropriation of part of the $35,000. All three have been sent to the Finance Committee. ROBERT BAILEY, president of the Michigan American Indian Benefit Association, asked the board for $15,000 of the money to establish a home-school coordinator pro-gram to work with Indian youths.

ALLAN KELLY, president of the Lansing Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) asked $12,000 from the fund to establish a program for working with school administrators, parents and students to aid them "in carrying out their responsibility to the total community."

Concluded from Page B-l for persons who are promoted from one department to another. He said the department which loses such an employe is unfairly penalized by the survey.

"Some people get married and leave, others are promoted and others quit because they got pregnant or got better jobs. That is not the fault of respective departments," he said. BODWIN RECOMMENDED that future surveys include all regular salaried and hourly personnel as a cohesive group. He said if it is necessary to count contract employes who are paid in a variety of ways, then the questionnaire should clearly indentify such personnel as being employed basically part time. Bodwin said the Human Relations Committee and Letts should examine the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 in which a provision specifically forbids using percentages to compare minority or ethnic employment with similar per centages in the community.

Letts said any distortions in the survey came from the de-partments and not from Human Relations. He said the Employment Committee of the Human Relations Committee was "disturbed" by Bodwin'a statements and they will be turning the matter over to the committee of the whole Thurs day at the monthly meeting.
