HEW Prefers
Discretionary
Aid Authority
BY PAUL HOPE
star staff writer

The Department of Health,
Education and Welfare said to-
day 1t prefers discretionary
authority to withhold Federal
funds from areas that practice
racial segregation rather than
laws making withholding man
datory.
This position was expressed
to a House Education subcom-
mittee by James M. Quigley,
Assistant HEw Secretary.
Mr.. Quigley testified on bills
introduced by So House mem
bers which would require HEW
to withhold Federal funds from
school systems which practice
racial segregation.
s Programs Involved
The legislation would apply
to funds under five programs
the National Defense Education
Act, the Federally impacted
area aid program. vocational
education, land grant college
assistance and the aid to rural
Libraries.
Chairman Dent, Democrat of
PENNSYLVANIA, opened the hear
ing with q statement that the
Nation is witnessing a time Of
great change a revolution
of the first magnitude"
Mr.. Dent pointed out that
the House Education Commit
tee tentatively has approved
barring OF impacted area aid
and library services assistance
to segregated systems. He said
the committee is hopeful that
It may be able to define legis-
latively certain guidelines" for
Withholding funds under all
the educational programs.
Mr.. Quigley. however. said
HEW officials would rather
have q provision of President
Kennedy's proposed civil rights
act passed than the bills before
Mr.. Dents subcommittee.
Great Fund Power Given
He said this provision would
give the Secretary broad dis
cretionary powers to withhold
funds not only from educa-
tional programs but the many
other programs administered
by the department.
Mr.. Quigley said there might
be instances In which it would
be in the national interest not
to withhold funds.
He said. for example, o can
GER researcher might be on the
verge Of a breakthrough while
working at a segregated insti-
tuition. It might be in the
public interest to continue
supporting the research, he
said.
Mr.. Quigley said the depart
ment supports strongly" the
objectives Of the legislation be-
fore the committee even though
it preferred the Presidents
approach.
He said congressional action
Is necessary to clarity the de-
partment's authority.

publican of Nebraska, suggested
that under the Presidents bill
HEW would not have to take

FORCED RESERVATIONS
As a result of a Federal court
decision. Federal agencies may
think twice before they try
again to force employees to
resign.
AS disclosed in this column
some months ago. the United
States Court Of Appeals in the
Ernest Paroczay case made q
landmark decision. For the
first time a Federal court
ruled there was evidence to
support an employees allegation
that he was forced to resign
because Of undue pressure,
insufficient time to consider
the agency's ultimatium, etc.
The appeals court sent IL back
TO the csc and District Court
for disposition.
The csc again ruled against
the employee. But last week
District Court Luther Young
dahl ordered the Commerce
Department to reinstate the
smploye.

who represented Mr.. Paroczay

A Negro, CASTOR says it's Just
as easy for Negroes to make
money as for anybody else. IF
you have character and integrity
and can produce, you can be green
and still make money"
CASTOR, himself, started with $3S
saved from a laborer's job pay
ing 81 cents an hour - in 1923 and
began founding businesses to fill
needs. A small burial society grew
into the Booker T. Washington In
surance Company - now celebrat-
ing its 10th anniversary with as
sets Of more than IS million -
which in turn became the hub Of
a network Of businesses which are
worth more than 81 million more

sets. They include the Citizens

Gaston's ten rules for making

Set aside a specific amount of

bank it. You'll be surprised how

fast the money builds up. II you

in the bank, sooner or later some
body will come along and show you
how to double it. Money doesn't
spoil. 1t keeps.
Establish a reputation at a
bank or savings and loan associa-
ton. Save at an established insti-
tuition and borrow there. Stay
away from loan sharks.
Stake no chances with your
money. Play the safe number, the
good one. Take your time. A man
who can't afford to lose has no
business gambling. When you can
afford to lose, you seldom do.
Never borrow anything that,
If forced to 1t, you can't pay.
5-Don't get big-headed. Never
forget the little fellows" That's
where the money is. II you stick
with the little fellows" If you
give them your devotion, they'll
make you big.
6-Don't have so much pride.
Wear the same suit for a year or
two. 1t doesn't make any difference
what kind Of suit the pocket is in,
If there is money in the pocket.
Find a need and fulfill 1t.
Successful businesses are founded
on the needs of the people. Once
in business, keep good books. Ev-
erything that goes in the cash
register doesn't belong to you. Also
