Global struggle takes new form in the 70s realignments
AP Special Correspondent William L. Ryan analyzes how the Cold War is mutating. East and West share growing common problems such as nuclear arms control, population growth, resource competition, and global pollution. Europe remains central, with Moscow’s doctrine of limited sovereignty shaping policy. The U N.S.S. shifts show both blocs edging toward new security arrangements, while gestures toward Bonn and Peking signal mutual accommodation.

Task force named to study on desegregation
ST. PAUL AP A 56 member task force on racial desegregation in schools and its effects on education will meet in one month. Appointed by the Minnesota Department of Education the group aims to finish by April 13 1970. It will explore redesigning policy tabled by the State Board of Education. Members include John B. Davis Minneapolis superintendent John Lackner St Paul acting superintendent Harold J Anderson and Roy Holsten. Also represented are human rights groups and teachers. Outside members include William A Wettergren St Peter executive secretary of the Minnesota School Boards Association and Joseph Lucero Hazelden research director. The task force plans three subcommittees with an initial Jan 21 meeting and full sessions Feb 18 and March 18. Former human rights commissioner Frank Kent noted racial isolation harms both white and Black students. Some parents oppose busing to reduce de facto segregation. The Human Rights Department has postponed desegregation demands pending statewide guidelines. A proposed regulation would define a segregated district by minority percentages exceeding four times district levels.
