Mr.. Benson questioned the
legality of Mckinney recommen-
dations that the county govern
ment be given a greater measure
of control over Board of Educa-
ton spending and denied that
the board has used Federal funds
as a means Of financing deficits.
He found support for his stand
from two prominent educators.
DR.. Thomas ]. Pullen, Mary
land superintendent of schools,
warned that the. McKinsey plan
for revamping fiscal controls
would tend to destroy profess
sional school leadership" He said
he opposed control of the school
budget by a businessman.
The reorganization plan would
create six new top executive posi-
tons, including a director of
business affairs who would
supervise all spending.
DR.. Pullen charged the. plan
would set UP a cumbersome
and ponderous bureaucracy"
Spirit Of Law Cited

missioner for school assistance
for the United States Office of
Education. said a McKinsey
Recommendation on the use of
Federal-aid dollars would "vio-
late the spirit" Of Federal law.
The survey suggested that the
County Council appropriate lump
sums for all school building and
operations and that Federal
grants, when received, be fun
neled directly into the general
county treasury.
Balances of Federal grants
used in this manner would in
effect. be taken back for other
county purposes" Mr.. Grigsby
said.
: Federal grants. he added, ARE
not intended to relieve the bur-
den on other local taxpayers.
The Federal payments are made
as a matter Of right, regardless
of need or whether full budget
requirements are met locally"
The report and Mr.. Benson's
memorandum will be discussed
at a joint meeting Of the Board
of Education and the County
Council next week.

between salary increases and

The eyes of the nations Negro cit

for the reason that top political

Whether or not civil rights is
the major concern of the Negro

which has been coming more and
more to the front as the platform
committee, which began hearings
last week, began hearings on the
civil rights plank in the platform
for the 1856 campaign. From an
increasing number of well informed
sources there vas evidence that
civil rights, as such, may not after
all be the most important concern
of Negro voters. What appeared
to be the most important concern
of Negro voters is their economic

provide the opportunity for them
to put more money in their pockets
