• BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A TWENTY? DEPT.: Mr. Sargent Shriver has set 1976 as the date when poverty will be abolished in America.

• Public school integration is a failure, according to U.S. Education Commissioner Harold Howe 2nd. After twelve years of deliberate speed most classrooms throughout the nation are 84 per cent Negro or 90 per cent white. Desegregation in the South has been offset by de facto segregation in the North. Those who continue to suppose they can persuade white America to take up the cause “are fooling themselves,” Howe told an educators’ conference in New York, “and, in many ways, failing our nation.” The time has come, in Howe’s opinion, for school officials to form a new front, to “put our jobs on the line” and “use every likely tool that we can devise” to force integration down the throat of the community, in the name of education.
