Require schools to enforce desegregation WASHINGTON (UPI)—The Senate Appropriations Committee Tuesday passed legislation which would require the government to enforce school desegregation in the North as strictly as it does in the South. The committee wrote the provision into an $18 billion money bill for the Departments of Labor and Health, Education and Welfare. The House earlier had stipulated that federal funds could not be used to force the busing of students to schools outside their neighborhood or make attendance at any particular school a prerequisite for federal school aid. The Senate committee added a provision ordering the secretary of Health, Education and Welfre to assign as many persons to investigate and enforce compliance with federal school desegregation laws in other states as are assigned to the 17 Southern and border states. The committee said the laws should be “administered and enforced n a national basis, and the secretary is directed to enforce compliance ... by like methods and with equal emphasis in all states of the Union." As reported out of the Senate committee, the bill carried a total of $18,488,800,000 to run the two cabinet departments. This figure exceeded the sum already approved by the House by $1,255,959,000. A total of $16,675,339,467 had been appropriated for the fiscal year ending June 30. The Senate panel also restored $50 million of the $127 million the House cut from administration requests for special education programs for the poor. President Johnson had requested $1.2 billion and the house allowed $1,073. The House added $110 million to the President's request of $410 million for aid to schools in federally affected districts and the Senate committee agreed to the $520 million total. The Senate also maintained a House provision that no loans or grants may be made with federal funds to students convicted of participating in riots on college campuses.

STEEL IN THE WORKS This completely operative experimental prototype taxicab developed by U.S. Steel is being shown to auto makers in Detroit. Called the Innovari II. the vehicle has a five-passenger cab and a 90-inch wheelbase to enable quick turn-arounds. Among its many new safety features is a “uniguard” (lower) a tubular steel bar around the car’s perimeter just above bumper height and two roll bars concealed in the side and roof.
Heart transplant cost is being lowered
Bogle hints delegates could be challenged
HOUSTON (UPI)—An administrator at St. Luke’s Hospital, busiest transplant hospital in the world, said Wednesday heart transplants are coming down to the cost of open heart surgery and take almost as little time as a gall bladder operation. Hospital Administrator Newell E. France said, “we can legitimately ask insurance companies to reimburse us,” now that Dr. Denton A. Cooley has said transplants are therapeutic and not experimental only. Heart transplants at St. Luke’s, known for speed as well as skill, have been running about an hour and 45 minutes. A gall bladder operation requires
Air Force rush supplies to refugees By WILLIAM H. GORISHEK ARENAL, Costa Rica (UPI)— U.S. Air Force planes rushed blankets and medical supplies today to thousands of refugees forced from their homes by the eruption of the volcano Mt. Arenal, dormant for 600 years until Monday. The national guard counted 45 persons dead and 112 from 32 families missing in the destruction wrought by the volcano. President Jose Joaquin Trejos declared a state of emergency and asked the legislature to set aside $3 million for emergency relief. U.S. Air Force transports were bringing blankets, cots, tents and first aid kits for thousands of refugees in nearby Tilaran. American helicopters helped rescue them. The 5,092-foot volcano spewed ashes 30,000 feet into the night sky and some landed as far as 60 miles away, blanketing the countryside. Puerto Nuevo’s 8,447 residents on the mountainside absorbed the brunt of the first eruption and the town was abandoned, partially buried by the river of lava and rain of boulders spewn from the crater. In 1951, there were tremors from Arenal, but no eruption. In recent years, children from Puerto Nuevo had slept in its crater, overgorn with scrub brush and grass. Refugees streaming into Tilaran said rocks, some a yard in diameter, tumbled from the crater following the first explosion Monday morning. The river of lava then came creeping down the mountain. On foot and by truck, thousands of Costa Ricans came streaming into the lowlands, their belongings hastily packed on their backs. Government relief supplies rolled in from San Jose. Complete damage estimates were impossible. No one can tell when Arenal will cool down.
about 90 minutes, France said. It is France’s impression transplants are taking less time than most other heart surgery. Heart surgeons at St. Luke’s have done eight heart transplants and more than 5,000 open heart operations in the last 10 years. “Open heart surgery is running around $2,200 for a nine-day stay,” France said. “That is about $244 a day, depending on individual cases.” He said the transplants are somewhere between $200 and $300 a day. The cost of the first Houston heart transplant, on Everett C. Thomas, 47.year.old accountant, included costs of the research and development associated with the new type of surgery. Now the tissue compatibility laboratory has been established and a lot of the routine has been worked out, he said. “I do not think even half of the lab work that was first done is done any more,” said the administrator. For the transplants, there is the additional * cost of an operation for the donor of the organ. So far, this cost has been paid by special funds from the hospital. “One can see that this donor cost should probably be borne by the recipient,” said France. It would just be added to his ability to pay.”
PRAGUE (UPI) - Twenty years of communism have giver the once-thrifty Czechs a basic philosophy which is “if you’ve got it, spend it.” And despite an economy which is near the breaking point through years of mismanage, ment and neglect, the Czechs are living it up. Their standard of living remains the highest of any within the East Europe Communist bloc, with the exception of East Germany. Prague has excellent restaurants. Veal and pork, the favorites of the meat-eating Czechs, are plentiful and cheaper than in neighboring capitalistic Austria. Forty Czech crowns, the basic Czech currency, will buy two pounds of excellent filet mignon, less than half the price one would pay in Austria. Sixteen crowns will buy a little more than two pounds of oranges. But, since the Czech economy operates on three levels and the crown is exchangeable nowhere else, true comparisons with the outside world are difficult. For instance, officially the crown runs eight to the dollar but the tourist rate is 16 to the dollar and the black market rate is 35 to the dollar. So the filet costs either $5 or
By HORTENSE MYERS INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—Some Indiana delegates to the Democratic national convention in Chicago Aug. 26 may be challenged, a spokesman for presidential candidate Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy said Tuesday. Dr. James A. Bogle, chairman of the steering committee for the McCarthy for President organization, said he has been advised that citizen challenges are pending even if the national McCarthy organization does not pick Indiana as one of the states for delegate challenges. Bogle said there now are 38 active local McCarthy organizations working in Indiana to convince the Hoosier delegates to back McCarthy. He said 13 of the 63 Indiana delegate votes will go to the Minnesota senator and the current campaign may convince others to switch. However, other Democratic sources have indicated that only from 3 to 6 votes will go to McCarthy, with the rest of the Indiana delegation acking Vice President Hubert H Humphrey. Indiana’s presidential prefer, ence primary was won by Sen. Robert F. Kennedy with 42 per cent of the vote. Governor Branigin, an undesignated stand-in for Humphrey, won 31 per cent and McCarthy 27 per cent. Kennedy’s assassination had the legal effect of releasing his delegates and those garnered by Branigin also would be released unless the Hoosier gov$100,000 damage COLUMBUS, Ind. (UPI)— Damage to Mudd’s Furniture Store during a fire of undetermined origin here Tuesday evening was estimated at more than $100,000. The furniture store complex, consisting of a display area, a warehouse and home decorating center, was completely waterlogged although the only sizable fire damage was to the ware.house area at the rear of the store Where the blaze started. The complex covers nearly a quarter of a city block. Don Mudd, the owner of the business located six blocks north of the downtown area, said he and about 11 other employes were in the building at the time the fire was discovered but that all managed to escape without harm.
By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst a little more than a dollar, depending on the rate. A journalist who in Commanist countries works as an arm of the Communist party, may earn 2,300 crowns a month, a physician 1,800 and a coal miner 3,500. The average wage is
around 1,600.
Lowest on the economic scale are the intellectuals whom the ousted regime of President
ernor were to be nominated as a presidential candidate. Bogle said the national MeCarthy organization will make a decision soon “if they want us to make a challenge” to the seating of any of the Indiana delegates. He said that the MeCarthy advisers do not want to scatter their efforts too widely and it is quite possible they will bypass Indiana. In this event, Bogle said “I am of the understanding a citizen challenge in three districts will be filed.” Bogle was pounded with questions as to who would make the challenges and said “those who feel they have been badly treated.” Further questioning produced three names from three districts of state convention delegates who feel “badly treated.” They were Mrs. Nancy Salmon, Bloomington, 7th District; Charles Berger, Evansville, 8th, and Richard O’Conner, New Albany, 9th. Bogle said that “I have personally visited more than half the delegation and hope to see all of it before the convention. 1 feel we are making significant progress.” , He said the 38 local McCarthy organizations represent “all major communities. These groups are circulating petitions, writing letters to the delegates, writing letters to editors and opening booths at all the larger county fairs.” The Rev. William Dennis, minister of the Pleasant Union Baptist Church, Indianapolis, shared the news conference as chairman of the Marion County Steering Committee of the Citizens for McCarthy. “The McCarthy movement is made up of all groups within the elector, ate of the Democratic Party who repudiate the Johnson administration and desire to see the party lead this country in new directions,” he said. He said that “we are working as diligently as we can to prevent the upcoming Democratic convention from commit, ting the stupid and disastrous mistake of endorsing the policies and candidate of a repudiated administration.” 2 However, other Democratic sources have indicated that only from 3 to 6 votes will go to McCarthy, with the rest of the Indiana delegation backing Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey.
Antonin Novotny regarded with fear and contempt— and with some reasons since they were the ones who eventually drove him out. Industrially, failure to maintain research and to replace machinery now 60 to 80 years old has been disastrous. The Czechs, first in Eastern Europe to industrialize, now can exist only within the barter system of the Communist bloc.
