lack of adequate sidings for meeting freight trains between Pueblo Colo and Denver on a line controlled by the Denver and Rio Grande Western a non-Amtrak railroad Amtrak which spends almost twice as much as it takes in must have money to overcome the operating problems and to meet a deficit estimated as $16 million a year Bryant said and it needs Department of Transportation approval to spend that money In response to a question about published reports that Amtrak would just as soon not operate the line at all BTy-ant replied that the corporation had no say that the line had been designated under the law and would be operated fif Congress wanted it He added however that Paul Reis-trup Amtrak president has often mentioned a line from Jacksonville Fla to New Orleans as the prime target for an experimental route Bryant said Reistrup also had expressed a desire to see a Kansas City-Denver train linked with the present Chicago-Den ver-San Francisco service to provide through service to the West Coast He was critical of Coleman who has emerged as an opponent of Amtrak never ceases to amaze us that the secretary thinks Amtrak is a burden and a drain of the Bryant said at what they (the Department of Transportation) are spending on air traffic control and airports each year he added referring to the 18 new cars and four new locomotives traveling to Los Angeles a national investment It represents about $10 million of the money This is just as much An investment as your new airport out there other industrial country in the world has a good rail passenger except us Do they know something we Bryant said the Amfleet cars would go into Los Angeles-San Diego service May 15 and would be on other short-haul lines on the West Coast by summer The cars have been in use since last summer in the New York-Boston corridor replacing equipment inherited from the railroads when Amtrak was formed five years ago May 1 Amfleet cars likely will be assigned to the New York-Kansas City service in the next two years as sleeping cars become available he said By Stephen Haynes A Member of the Staff Operation of an experimental Amtrak passenger line from Washington to Kansas City and Denver is being held up pending a decision on budget and a go-ahead from the Department of Transportation an official of the rail passenger corporation said here last night James A Bryant Amtrak director of special services said the corporation could not begin running the Wash-ington-Kansas City-Denver train which was designated about a year and a half ago unless it received more than the $378-million subsidy recommended by the Ford administration for the next fiscal year Amtrak had asked for S460 million and officials have said the cuts recommended by the administration would force it to stop operating half of its long-distance lines including the Kansas City-New York National Limited and two lines serving St Louis The Amtrak budget request is being considered by a Senate appropriations subcommittee headed by Sen Thomas Eagleton (D-Mo) who has accused the administration of using a meat ax approach to trimming the railroad's fund request Bryant was interviewed aboard an 18-car special train of new Amfleet cars being moved to Los Angeles for short-haul corridor rail service The cars part of a group of 492 ordered over the last three years as the first new intercity passenger coaches built in this country in almost 10 years were on display for the press and travel agents at the Union Station yesterday Amtrak wrote the secretary of transportation William Coleman Jr around the first of the year outlining the costs and problems involved in operating the experimental run to Denver Bryant said So far he added the corporation has received no reply Bryant said Amtrak cannot start running the new train until Coleman makes a decision The line was designated as a 2-year experimental route under the Amtrak law in late 1974 by Claude Brinegar then secretary of transportation Several start-up dates have been set since then but none has been kept Problems with starting up the line Bryant said include low tunnels on the eastern part which require special

man- tion clothing and textiles and housing and home management are all adf dressed in vocational home economics they say Earlier yesterday Dr Bernice Mil-burn Moqreu a mental health specialist from Austin Tex 6pdke and family are closely intertwined impossible to Dr Moore who is executive associate of the Hogg Foundation at the University of Texas said Vocational home economics education is connected to major aspects of human living Dr Moore said She said educators piust be prepared to teach the structure of family life because there is such a wide range of families are not the same today as in my generation nor my nor my Dr Moore who is in her 70s said She emphasized that attention must be given to all areas of career opportunity plus finding new careers to be developed She urged the educators to help change the stereotype associated with home economics programs are magnificent in what you might said encouraging the educators to take a look at the increasing number of married women who are working outside the home employed women with children under 6 years old who have tripled in the labor force in reeents years and women who are betweep45 and 60 years old who are going bacfeto work Women heads of families also have increased Dr Moore said but their income level has not She also said more men are in- terested in homemaking and nutrition foods and more and more fathers ate becoming the only parent in the An immediate challenge facing vocational home economics educators is to get the kind of federally funded programs that will be flexible enough to meet the diverse needs of persons from state to state Green executive director of the American Home Economics Association Washington told more than 300 persons yesterday at the National Vocational Home Economics Education Conference at the Continental Hotel that federal vocational education programs have been operating under a continuing congressional resolution since last July when fund authorization expired There are two proposed bills one in the House and one in the Senate Dr Green said that must pass in the respective houses and then go into conference to be hammered into final form It was noted that flexibility in the law is not only important because of the diverse needs of the states but for those within states populated by persons of several backgrounds A speaker at the 3-day meeting quoted one legislator as saying that home economics teaches white girls to cook Not so say the educators who described it as an applied discipline that focuses on the natural physical and social sciences and the fine arts in the day-to-day life of the individual They say that the vocational home economics educator teaches persons of all ages to manage in the family the market place and occupational world Vocational home economists now are teaching boys and men such things as plumbing and electrical work and are helping girls and women enter into occupations in which they can support families the educators say Family living child development consumer education food and nutri ager for the George Roper Corporation for 37 years before he retired in 1975 He was a Mason He was
