AP. THE NEWS INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, 101st YEAR sition to arbitrary establishment of "racial balance" in school districts by such devices as busing black and white pupils away from their home neighborhoods. 'We Are One People' Furthermore, he said de facto racial separation resulting from housing patterns should not be cause for Federal enforcement action in the South or in the North.

Nixon summarized: "In all respects, the law should be applied equally, North and South, East and West. This is one nation. We are one people. I feel strongly that as Americans we must be done now and for all future time with the divisive no-tion that these problems are sectional." The chief executive, however, conceded the situation involving elementary and secondary schools attempting to cope with desegregation had reached a point where additional Federal help was needed. Nixon emphasized repeatedly this special earmarking of $1.5 billion over the next two fiscal years would have to come from other programs.

Switching the money away from other domestic purposes, he pointed out, would inevitably result in "a further reordering of priorities on the domestic scene." "It represents a heightened priority for making school desegregation work and for helping the victims of racial isolation learn," he said. Nixon said in a lengthy approach to new guidelines and policies set forth particularly for Attorney General John N. Mitchell and HEW Secretary Robert H. Finch: "I am dedicated to continued progress toward a truly desegregated public school system." Nixon repeatedly stressed his belief money would be better spent for improvement of education through better teaching facilities, methods and advanced materials than for buying buses, tires and gasoline to transport children miles away from their neighborhood schools. ETV $88,000 Short Of Complete Victory age to the lower statue is one of TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 1970 10 CENTS "Usually an ETV membership campaign will get about 14 per cent of a station's budget," she said.

Her campaign has been aimed at getting the entire operating budget for a year $350,000. Mayor Richard Lugar told the women that male-oriented marketing surveys showed $275,000 wasn't available for ETV in Indianapolis from any source. "I feel the large corporation and their marketing experts now have an obligation to support the women's efforts and to surpass it," the mayor said. Indianapolis is the largest city in the nation without ETV. And among the top 50 cities in America, only Indianapolis and Wheeling, W.Va., do not have it.

Mrs. Burkhart pointed out that the women's campaign "did wonders for educating the community" on ETV. Before her solicitors could extract contributions from people they first had to indoctrinate them on what ETV is and what could be expected of Channel 20. This made the door-to-door campaign painfully slow usually about a half-hour per house call but it also created widespread knowledge in this area that there are alternatives to commercial broadcasting. Mrs.

Burkhart volunteered last December to organize the women's drive when the entire Channel 20 project appeared doomed for lack of funds. Indianapolis had experienced a series of unsuccessful attempts to start ETV dating back to 1951. BUSINESS BULLETINS WASHINGTON (AP) Congress was reported ready today to move quickly on a postal pay increase if the Nixon administration will negotiate one with striking postmen as they return to work. An aid to Chairman Gale W. McGee, of the Senate Postoffice Committee who has insisted President Nixon pledge in advance not to veto a pay bill said McGee was ready to accept a negotiated settlement as that pledge from the administration.

And House Speaker John W. McCor- Related Stories, Page 8 Pictures, Page 22 mack, told newsmen he understood the House and Senate were ready to go to conference on a pay bill. McCormack said -he did not know whether the pay raise, expected to be close to the 11.1 per cent demanded by postal workers before the' strike, could be passed by Congress before the Easter recess scheduled to begin Thursday. Secretary of Labor George P. Shultz has said he would negotiate with postal unions when strikers return to work but Shultz did not immediately announce he was ready to negotiate as strikers began returning to jobs in most major cities except New' York.

Rep. John Anderson, said Shultz told congressional leaders at a White House meeting the government should not leave the impression Federal employes can gain by striking in defiance of Federal law. Striking postal workers returned to their jobs in Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and much of Connecticut and New Jersey today. There were hints' of a break in New York, where Federal troops sorted mail on President Nixon's orders. The Pentagon denied reports troops who worked in New York postoffices until 1 a.m.

had been ordered to delay their return this morning. However, National Guardsmen who also were called up on the President's orders, were held in armories and went to the postoffices after lunch. Normal mail deliveries resumed in Philadelphia as 3,000 letter carriers returned to work in that city, last holdout in Pennsylvania. All of Connecticut's major postal centers were back at full operation except Hartford, where clerks were picketing and scheduled to vote. Carriers had voted not to cross clerks' picket lines.

In a comprehensive statement on the school racial issue, Nixon reasserted his opposition to forced busing of school children to achieve racial balance. He urged an end to segregated teaching staffs and said "Federal officials should not go beyond the requirements of law in attempting to impose their own judgment on the local school district." Nixon took issue with Democratic critics and others who he said have accused the administration as "backing away" from the Supreme Court's 1954 school decision and have "therefore feared that the painstaking work of a decade and a half might be undermined." "We are not backing away," Nixon asserted.

"The constitutional mandate will be enforced." "On the other hand," he added, "Several recent decisions by lower courts have raised widespread fears that the nation might face a massive disruption of public education: That wholesale compulsory busing may be ordered and the neighborhood school virtually doomed. "A comprehensive review of school desegregation cases indicates these latter are untypical decisions, and that the prevailing trend of judicial opinion is hv no means so extreme." The President had described his statement in advance as the "most comprehensive review" of the school problem since the 1954 Supreme Court decision outlawing segregated schools. He said the intent of his administration is to "seek solutions that are both realistic and appropriate." Local School Boards In assessing action by localities in desegregating their schools, Nixon said, the Federal government will give primary weight "to the considered judgment of local school boards provided they act in good faith, and with constitutional limits." On the explosive issue of busing, Nixon said of the government attitude: The neighborhood school will be deemed the most appropriate base for such a system. Transportation of pupils beyond normal geographic school zones for the purpose of achieving racial balance will not be required." To attain the goals spelled out in the message, the President said he wanted to earmark $500 million in the 1971 fiscal year beginning July 1 to carry out special programs to help integration succeed and $1 billion more in the 1972 fiscal year. He said the money would have to be diverted from other Federal domestic spending.

He expressed hope his statement would "reduce the prevailing confusion and help place public discussion of the issue on a more rational and realistic level in all parts of the nation." The President repeated his oppo Probe Set Charges In An investigation by juvenile branch authorities will be conducted to determine if a 16-year-old Northwest High School student should be charged in connection with the March 16 shotgun of the wife of a veteran reporter for The Star.
