state senator's challenge of the validity of financing provisions for building a domed sports stadium in New Orlenas State Sen John Schwegmann Jr attacking a ruling by the Louisiana Supreme Court contended that voters who approved a state constitutional amendment were assured the state would not be obligated on the stadium bonds From Page One for common unskilled laborers These are the ones who will boost area unemployment rates It is possible the influx of those laid off at the various defense plants will not be as notice able in the Shreveport area as elsewhere as the result of a new federal program in which the local chamber plans to participate UNDER A PROGRAM known as JOBS (Job Opportunities in the Business Sector) the chamber will act as a liaison between employers 'usually smaller plants and the US Department of Labor to provide on-the-job training for worjers Thereportedly is geared toward the poor and disadvantaged but it is likely that many of those involved in the defense plant layoffs will fall into this category Landrum said the program locally could involve hundreds and possibly thousands of unskilled Attempt HE CONTENDED the state court by invalidating a section that provided "no bond issued under this amendment shall be secured by the faith and credit of the state" sustained a bond scheme that shifts the risk of loss from bondholders to the state The Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District asked that the appeal be dismissed on grounds there is no substantial federal question involved Schwegmann from the New Orleans suburb of Metairie argued that the state court's decision violates federal constitutional guarantees of a right to an effective and meaningful vote and of a protection from governmental caprice THE SUPREME Court dismissed the appeal "for want of jurisdiction" THE bird of meadows and open areas has benefited by the changes in the landscape brought about by settlement It is noted for its elaborate "broken wing" act performed

of a statement Dodd plans to make in opening hearings on school violence in the early spring show sharp increases in 15 categories of crime and lence The statistics based on responses from the 110 districts that replied showed that between 1964 and 1968 homicides rose from 15 to 26 forcible rape from 51 to 81 and robbery from 396 to 1508 IN OTHER categories the reports show that the number of aggravated assaults in the 110 systems increased from 475 to 680 burglary and larceny from 7604 to 14102 instances of vandalism from 186184 to 250544 weapons offenses from 419 to 1089 narcotics violations from 7 3to 854 drunkenness from 370 to 1035 assaults on teachers by students from 1601 to 4267 other offenses from 4796 to 8824 and expulsions for incorrigibility from 4884 to 8190 In another category the report noted what it called "perhaps the most dramatic Increase" a rise in crime by non-students from 142 instances in 1964 to 3894 in 1968 THE REPORT continues that is every indication that despite his triumphant bravado the drop-out is deeply affected by his failure in school In almost every case of vandalism destruction of school property and attacks on students former students who were drop-outs were involved" The report also notes that the nation's 36 largest cities reported that school vandalism including arson caused damage totaling more than $65 million in 1968 The report tentatively suggests that the causes of school violence are the same as those listed as general causes of violence by the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence These include: Low income physical deterioration of housing and surroundings: racial and ethnic concentration broken homes low levels of education and vocational skills and high unemployment AT THE SAME time the statement suggests that laxity on the part of school officials may be a cause: "It is in the interest of the school system that whatever untoward violence occurs be hushed up It reflects on the school system itself the fact that these events are treated so gingerly is not lost on the student body which feels considerable encourage ment from this failure to report violent incidents" While teachers in some cities reported a reticence to discipline unruly youngsters there 'also were indications that more schools are turning to non-teaching personnel for discipline Alter the incidents in Washington last week for example school officials authorized the hiring of 80 "community aides" mostly young men for duty in the schools Uniformed city police have been assigned to schools on a temporary basis IN NEW YORK a $500000 pilot program that puts 170 unarmed security guards in 29 hieh schools and 19 junior highs has been in operation less than a year The board of education is requesting a total of $2656901 to "provide additional security for pupils and teachers" and to make it unnecessary to call city police to schools "except in rare instances" In Chic ago the public schools have recently increased the number of part-time security guards in the schools from 390 to 420 The guard program cost $912000 last year and Edward Brady director of security said he honed for more in the new budget In Philadelphia the school system spends about $3 million a year to employ 532 non-teaching assistants 48 full-time security guards and varying numbers of "per diem security officers" hired as needed and numbering up to 170 at any one time In a recent study on unrest and school disruptions published by the National School Public Relations Association it was reported that 59 per cent of the high schools and 56 per cent of the junior highs had experienced some form of protest by January of last year rom Page One which statistics were deve l- ed have dramatically risen"

should be placed on the position of attempting to force members of the committee to do something they feel is not in the committee's best interest and do not want to do" he said "It is regrettable that sectionalism has been brought into this matter" the governor said "So far as my personal record is concerned it speaks for itself in seeing that all the sections of our state are treated fairly and equitably" the governor said SECTIONALISM Either North-South or urban-rural was however involved in the fight and apparently will continue to remain part of the continued fight whether it continues over the budget committee chairmans'hip or over the Senate president pro tem's post And McKeithen is Involved in it because he already has agreed with Orleans area lawmakers that they should have a greater voice in government The fight over the Budget 'Committee chairmanship came to a quick end at least for this Rep Lantz Womack of Winnsboro pointed out to the Budget Committee that "at this time we have no vacancy" in offices moving for the committee to vote an "expression of confidence" in Rayburn as chairman Sen Sylvan Friedman of Natchez seconded Womack's motion which passed with no opposition recorded although Eagan Sen Sam Nunez of Chalmette and Rep Tony Vesich of New Orleans abstained from the show-of-hands vote EAGAN AND Vesich assured Rayburn there was "nothing personal" in their efforts to unseat him but they added they do not intend to relinquish their fight seeking the chairmanship with Eagan indicating they were waging a sectional fight Rayburn praised Eagan but said he "would never agree to rotate the chairmanship" of the budget committee as McKeithen had suggested last year Rayburn said he would continue to "serve at the pleasure of the membership" of the committee Sen Dudley LeBlanc of Abbeville brought the rumored upcoming fight for the Senate president pro tern post into the open pointing out to Eagan and other Orleans area lawmakers that a move was under way to give them that post LeBlanc said that should satisfy them "THAT HAS BEEN promised before" Eagan said amid laughter from committee members referring to Adcock's defeat of Sen Michael O'Keefe of New Orleans who had McKeithents support for that post last year Rep Robert Munson of Cheneyville vice chairman of the Budget Committee who had been mentioned as a possible compromise chairman candidate removed himself from that spot after the vote by stating that he "was not interested in being chairman of this committee" and adding that he had told the governor that a year ago McKeithen in his statement noted the continued sectionalism and acknowledged that he and his office are involved in the controversy ktT79 Downtown and Uptown 01 THROUGH THE JOBS program employers will pay participating worker the standard wage for their job but they then will be repaid a portion fthat wage by the federal government for providing the needed on-the-job training Those participating in the program also will be able to go to school during their spare time to upgrade their skills as the result of a sub-contract which the chamber will enter into with some educational agency to provide hte classes LANDRUM SAID the chamber did not decide to join in the JOBS program as a result of the layoffs at the area defense plants but said it apparently is good timing the program is being put into effect at a period in which there will a large number of unemployed The budget cut apparently is responsible for the personnel reduction at Fort Polk near Leesville and England Air Force Base at Alexandria and the announced consolidation of the Defense Atomic Support Agency's Bossier Base with Barksdale effective Feb 1 HOWEVER THE withdrawal of thousands of American troops from Southeast Asia and the decreasing US involvement in the Vietnam war reportedly led to the big cutbacks in personnel at the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant near Minden Lone Star the Red River Army Depot at Texarkana Tex and the Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant at Karnack Tex Among the military bases England AFB has been the hardest hit losing 680 personnel and an estimated payroll of $325 million per year Information officers at the Alexandria base said the 823rd Combat Security Police Squadron- which was formed at England AFB and then served six months in Vietnam was eliminated as a part of the austerity program The squadron involved 559 military personnel REDUCED IN SIZE by 93 men and nine aircraft was the 317th Special Operations Squadron while 41 civilian personnel 28 of the positions were actually eliminated At Fort Polk a spokesman said 128 civilian jobs are to be lost within the next 60 days but he said the payroll reduction has not been determined The Bossier Base consolidation with Barksdale announced by the Pentagon last week will eliminate 21 civilian jobs at an annual loss in salaries of about $150000 AMONG THE ammunition plants Lone Star has seen its work force reduced from 11200 last February to 7700 now a drop of 3500 workers Plant manager Roy Templeton said he feels the employment will remain about the same for the next few months but after the new fiscal year begins July 1 he said "It's anybody's guess as to what will happen" At the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant commander Col Jerry Cochran said 439 14 govern From Page One federal circuit judges cited recent Supreme Court decisions that in the South where schools were formerly segregated by law officials must take positive action to wipe out lingering effects of the past This meant Indianola must either redraw its zones so as to cut across the racial housing patterns swap grades among paired schools or adopt other methods that will integrate schools in all zones the judges said In the Supreme Court appeal city attorneys argued that the judges relied on previous cases involving so-called freedom of choice desegregation not zoning by school neighborhoods TIM ATTORNEYS argued that the earlier decisions held freedom of choice plans must get results if they are to be accepted because they unfairly place the burden of integration on Negro parents In fact the city of Indianola made no defense of a free choice provision of its desegregation plan for pupils who attend schools in the city from an outlying county area But the attorneys claimed the Supreme Court had never said the constitution required zones to be gerrymandered to bring about racial integration for its own sake either in the South or elsewhere ALSO FACING the Supreme Court this term are a number of other cases involving school segregation in the South The segregation problems affecting 14 public school districts and 300000 students in Georgia Florida Alabama Mississippi and Louisiana are before the court on appeal on both the school boards and the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund LDF) The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals gave the boards until September 1970 to bring about pupil desegregation but ordered faculty transportation and other phases of public school life unified as of Feb THE LDF wants a Feb 1 deadline for total desegregation The school boards want everything put off until Sep tember and the high court to conduct an emergency examination of the whole picture The Nixon administration suggested a September 1970 deadline for all southern schools and promised to make extraordinary legal efforts to bring state and school districts into compliance The 5th Circuit has already carried out the high court's 0 29 desegregation-now mandate for 30 Mississippi school districts Parents pupils and school authorities have been coping with the order since schools reopened after the Christmas recess MISSISSIPPI HAS appealed to the Supreme Court again The justices have a heavy backlog of other appeals plus 39 cases on which arguments have been heard VIETNAM PEROT The Weather THE WEATHER FORECASTS SHREVEPORT AND VICINITY: Cloudy to partly cloudy through Tuesday Chance of showers Tuesday High today

"People are lazy and will not follow established procedures" one source said "This problem exists all the time We are putting more emphasis on correcting it" THE LISTENING post was located in a bunker complex in the Bol Lot woods about 35 miles northwest of Saigon The sources said 12 North Vietnamese who were fluent in English were captured and another was killed The American troops also captured logs showing Interception of 1500 US radio transmissions including positions for American ambushes and warnings to other allied aircraft of air strikes that were to be made The sources said that above

people" Perot asked Pham to accept the supplies for both prisoners and North Vietnamese civilians as a gesture of good will while the prisoners' release is being negotiated "IF MESE proposals are not acceptable to you" Perot cabled Pham "surely there is some basis on which you will agree to work directly with the people of the United States allowing us to exchange items badly needed by the North Vietnamese people for these prisoners" There has been no response to the offer Perot said Asked if he would go as high as $100 million for a prisoner exchange Perot said 'I certainly would I know I could raise that much" He said that would average about $75000 per man and he said it would be worth it to save the lives of the prisoners PEROT SAID he became dedicated to the prisoner problem when "I met a 412-year-old boy who had never seen his father" Last month Perot spent more than $600000 taking two chartered airliners on a 30000-mile odyssey with guests and messages for the prisoners
