sent this week a new program
which will enable older people
truly in need Of help to meet
the calamity of catastrophe i'll
ness. This program will take
full advantage of, and support,
the progress that has been
made by private effort; it will
recognize the traditional Fed
eral-State relations in various
fields Of assistance; and, addi-
tionally, it will not do violence
to the private relationships that
must continue to characterize
the rendering Of health care
services.
Behind this program is a me-
ticulous and thoughtful weigh
ing Of many alternatives. I
believe the Congress will find
this proposal of great value
to our people most in need of
medical protection in their
later years. urge this program
in place Of compulsory schemes
which over a period of years
would blight Americas unex-
celled medical standards and
leave unaided large numbers
of citizens we are striving to
help.
The Fair Labor Standards
Act likewise needs attention be-
fore these next so days elapse
For several years I have
urged expansion of coverage
under this act to include ap-
proXimately three million addi-|
tional wage earnerS. This is the
most urgently needed change
in this law, and I hope that
the Congress will not fail to-
provide it.
Evening star., 1960-05-03

Long ago the administration
asked Congress to approve a
sound program to help colleges
and universities and elementary
and secondary schools meet
their pressing construction
needs. I have stressed that
any such Federal assistance
should be provided only to meet
genuine need, and that it must
preserve for the States, local
communities and educational
institutions their traditional
responsibilities for education.
The administrations debt
service plan for elementary and
secondary schools, and its COM
parable plan for institutions of
higher learning, both before
the Congress for over a year.
conform to these standards.
BY these programs we would
help to construct $4,000 addi-
tional elementary and second
airy claSsrooms at a Federal
cost. over the next 20 to 30
years, of $2.2 billion, and at a
Federal cost of $500 million we
would help build higher edu-
cation facilities costing in the
aggregate some 50 billion. The
financing for the initiation of
these programs is included in
my 1861 budget.
1t will be deeply diSappoint-
ing If the Congress should fail
to authorize such programs,
and no less disappointing if.
instead, programs that basically
conflict with these standards
should be passed.
Area redevelopment legisla-
ton also needs priority atten-
tion. I have long urged legisla-
ton authorizing loans and
technical assistance to help
areas afflicted with long-term.
substantial unemployment re-
Sulting from archaeological
changes. The purpose is to di-
versify these economies and
thereby create new sources of
private employment. With i'm
portant local efforts to provide
new jobs already under way.
Federal help must be of a kind
that strengthens and supple
ments rather than displaces or
discourages those efforts.
Aid to Distressed Areas
I think it is basic that we
reject the various schemes
that would perpetuate insecur-
ity by making distressed areas
dependent upon the uncertain
ties Of continued Federal sub
sides, or that would pour Fed
eral dollars into areas where
distress has been temporary
and which are competent to
meet their problems themselves.
Moreover, it will injure. not
help the chronically affected
areas if funds and loan ad-
vantages are unfortunately
broadcast to other areas that
do not urgently require such
assistance.
The only way this difficult
problem can be sensibly solved
is through healthy Govern
ment-community cooperation
that creates self-sustaining
local economies. 1t cannot be
solved by a dispiriting and mis-
placed benevolence on the part
of the distant central govern
ment. The people who need
this help are hopefully looking
for truly constructive action
this session. For this purpose
1 have recommended a Fed
eral program amounting to
$50 million, to be expanded for
loans and technical assistance.

Education and Welfare will pre-

Philadelphia Unit
Seeks Negro Move
To White Areas

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 3 (AfJ
Negroes were urged by the
city's Commission on Human
Relations yesterday to seek new
homes in all-white neighbor-
hoods.
In a pamphlet called "Your
Next Move" the commission
advised Negro families to re-
fuse to be steered into what
it termed ghetto areas.
BE willing to buy a home
where other Negroes have not
lived" the pamphlet states.
ITO break the stubborn pat
tern of segregated housing
many Negro citizens must have
the courage to live in new
neighborhoods."
The commission has prepared
what it calls a do-it-yourself
educational kit which contains
a number of pamphlets and
reports, most of them de-
scribing proper procedures to
be followed in buying a new
home.
Some other suggestions listed:
Look! Look! Look! Any
neighborhood in Philadelphia
may possibly have the house
you want. Don't ignore an
area because minority families
may not live there now.
Visit new developments and
inquire about available houses.
Builders say that Negroes do
not inspect sample homes. -.
This may be only an alibi for
discriminating against you.
Don't be discouraged by
brokers who give you the run
around or turn you down with
a fiat refusal"

ton aboliShes their jobs.
James Campbell, president
of the American Federation Of
Government Employees, and
Vaux Owen, president of the
National Federation of Federal
Employees, testified that very
few dislocations have occurred
thus far among employees be-
cause of automation.
But both employee leaders
warned that as Government in
tensifles its automation pro-
gram, it is essential that
agencies plan well in advance
to refrain and reassign en-
ployeS for others jobs where
necessary.
The Veterans Administration
was cited as an agency that has
planned carefully to avoid any
employee dislocations because
Of attenuation.
Bernard Beary, Deputy As
sistant Postmaster General in
charge of personnel, was the
first agency witness to testify
He said postal employees need
have no fear about losing their
jobs under attenuation. The
postal service is constantly ex-
banding and attenuation will
merely cut down the increased
work load rather than result
in a reduction in the number
of employees, Mr.. Beary said.

clared that greater Federal
productivity should be used tc
raise the pay of Government
workers and shorten theil
hours.
Surprisingly enough, Rep
resentative Johansen, Repub-
lican of Michigan, one of the
committees more conservative
members, agreed with Mr.
Langan that as automation in.
creases productivity, the pay Of
Government employees should
be adjusted upward. Mr.
Johansen also said increased
productivity could decrease
materially the cost of Federal
operations, with resultant bene-
fits to taxpayers.
Mr.. Langan declared that it
was up to Congress to set an
example for industry in deal
ing with Federal employees in
regard to the effects of auto
nation. He said many COM
panies want all the profits Of
attenuation, without passing
any of them along to employees
and customers in the form of
higher wages and lower prices.
Representative Lesinski,
Democrat of Michigan, chair
man Of the subcommittee,
made it plain that his group
will continue to keep close
watch on the automation sit
uation in Government-the use
of electric data processing
equipment-to make sure Fed
eral employees are not displaced
by it.

turn of Al per cent, which Is
well below the 61a per cent
level for the tax payment. Fig
ured on the tangible property
base of about SIG million, the
return would be TIA per cent.
o. Roy Chalk, transit COM
pany president, was far from
pleased with the P. U. c. de-
cision.
He said he was "disappoint-
ed" and "nauseated" by the
ruling.
"They promise me a return
of 612 per cent on the gross
operating revenue. Now they
tell me I should be satisfied
with Al per cent. This is a
reputation of the mandate of
Congress" the transit presi-
dent said.

Transit said a 61s per cent re-
turn would not be unreason-

In its decision, the P. U. C.
said current fares would not
provide the company a "fair
and reasonable return" The
commission estimated present
rates would bring in about
$660,000 in net operating In
come this year--a return Of PAT
per cent on gross operating
revenues of S26.7 million and
4.12 per cent on the tangible

But the commission rejected
the company's proposals on the
ground they would bring in

Meanwhile, the company to-
day reported a net operating
income loss Of about $4,000

that January is usually a bad

Transit Fare
Going 10 25c
By SAM EASTMAN
Star Stah Writer

D. c. Transit Systems cash
fares will go up from 20 to %
cents next Sunday, but riders
will continue to buy five tokens
for 81.
The Decent school fare re-
mains unchanged.
This new-fare schedule
announced yesterday by the
District Public Utilities Com
mission, falls short of the COM
pany's requests. Transit rider
groups, however, had argued
that there was no justification
for any fare rise.
In a petition, the transit
company asked that it be al
lowed to charge a ascent fare
during rush hours, effective
Immediately, and then a
straight 25-cent fare at all
hours beginning next Novem-
Der.
During the hearings, the
company suggested an alter
nate fare schedule providing
an around-the-clock ascent
cash fare with tokens priced at
five for s1.10.
The P. U. c., however, backed
the recommendation Of its staff
that cash fares be raised 5
cents with tokens to remain at
Ave for 81.
The commission granted the
company's repeated request for
a change in its profit formula.
In determining the new sched-
ule, the PUG. said it had used
a gross operating revenue
base. rather than a tangible
property valuation.
The effect of this decision Is
to raise the ceiling on the
amount Of net operating in
come the company may earn
without being subject to the
Districts gasoline tax. Under
its congressional franchise. the
company is not required to pay
this tax II the net operating
income amounts to less than
6l2 per cent Of the profit base.
Under the new higher fares.
the PUG. said, the company's
estimated net operating in
come will amount to $1,143,249
