Nixon's Veto Will Cost Jobs Here President Nixon's veto ol the education bill will leave 18 Kingsporl city teacher aides jobless as of Feb. 6. Two other teacher aides in the city kindergarten program will not be affected by the cutback. Although this is the only immediate effect of the President's action, iiis veto could mean drastic cut in future educational services in the city and county. According to city superintendent Dr.

Ralph Evans and county superintendent J. Craft Akard, the veto could mean: --the end of county summer school for about, 1,000 elementary children. County high school students would still be able to attend because they pay tuition. City summer school would not be affected. --a deep bite into the county school maintenance fund of roughly $200,000.

Nearly two-thirds of this money comes from the federal government through $125 per student allocation to those families whose breadwinner is employed at a federal plant such as HAAP and Raytheon. "We can't cut back this program; we'll have to get the money from the county," said Akard. --the end of a First Congressional District program operated through federal funds to help all students, city and county, who suffer a handicap of any kind --emotional, mental, physical. This is a three-year program, now in its first year. During this time, all schools have been categorizing their- students to determine who needs help.

Next year the help was to begin. --a delay in the Bays Mountain educational program. The city had planned to ask for a federal grant to help finance a coordinated school nature program. The program will still be developed without federal money. "But we could have done it faster with a grant," said Dr.

Evans. Both Evans and Akard stressed that some or all of these programs may be salvaged if Congress overrides the President's veto or if the new bill makes provisions for continuance of these services. The exact effect as of now is still uncertain. "There are so many ramifications," said Akard, "It's pretty hard to tie all of it down."

Congressman James H. Qiiillcn has called Secretary A i Clifford M. Hardin, to "drop immediately" any plans he may have tor declaring binlcy qnolas on Hie basis of acreage-poundage. In letter to Hardin, Congressman Quillcn said: "It seems unthinkable to me (hat this proposition should be contemplated by yon after the experience in Hie past two referondums." Quillen was referring to (lie fad that in IflBG and 1967 tobacco fanners throughout tire burloy bell voted in reiercnoums to rejecl the acreage-poundage proposition. He said resulis of (ho.

ID67 referendum show that hurley farmers in 10 of 13 stales failed to approve the program by the necessary majority. In Tennessee, i pointed out, only 16.1 per cent of some 79,000 farmers who voted in the referendum cast a vote in favor of Ihe program. Resulis of the 1966 referendum are a identical to the results of tlie 1067 vole. "There appears fo be no indication that Tennessee hurley growers have changed (heir minds and why should they?" Quillen said. Quillen asked Hardin to consider tlie following facts concerning the a a poundage question: Under (he present acreage- allolmen! program hurley prices advanced from 6G.9 per pound for the 19(66 crop (Ihe first crop for which poundage quotas were offered and rejected) to 73.7 per pound for the 1968 crop an increase of 6.8 per During the same three year nerio'd flue cured prices, which for the 1966 crop were exactly the same as tor Ihe Burley, dropped by .3 cent to an average price of for the 1968 crop.

"While linal figures are not available on prices for (he 1969 Biirley crop, it does appear that flue cured will exceed that for Burley," Quillen said. Quillcn also asked Hardin to postpone any consideration of an acreage cut. "I am very unhappy with the low prices of (he 1969 burley market. The farmers deserve a better price for their tohacco. While the I960 crop, by reason of unusual wealher conditions, may erjnal or slightly exceed disappearance, it surely cannot indicate Ihe need for any cut."
