Editorial lauds Johnson for forging a politically workable federal education framework. It highlights three key innovations: need-based district funding, preschool support for deprived environments, and $260 million in year-one college scholarships. The piece argues the plan overcomes religious barriers and aligns with national priorities.
Critics charge Governor Hoff uses rhetoric on poverty while expanding salaries for aides. They note raises for Thomas J. Kenney, Benjamin M. Collins, and Priscilla LaPlante, arguing taxpayers fund lavish pay while margins of poverty persist and calls for a food stamp program remain uncertain. The governor pledges aid, yet observers see a duplicity between rhetoric and action.
Washington report describes how Dirksen and Ford spearhead a cautious GOP reunification in Congress. A new Republican Coordinating Committee aims to placate factions while preserving central power with the Congressional leadership controlling the agenda and decisions.
A Shaftsbury reader urges wide reading of Look magazine Jan 26 issue, highlighting four articles under Conspiracy USA. Frank Church article on right wing menace. Arthur Larson profile. Patricia Swank piece on radical plots. Donald Robinson piece on far right and mental health. VERDER ELWELL.
Everett Dirksen forges a power balance within the Republican leadership, packaging tranquilizers for intra party tensions over Goldwater while keeping the real record in Congress. The plan spreads influence among Ford Morton Laird Wilson Halleck and others, aiming to cool tempers and leave the fighting outside Congress.
President Johnson proposes a shared time framework to avoid church state controversy over federal education funds. He would keep aid under public authorities but require use for all area children, enabling parochial students to attend public schools part of each day. About 200 districts already use shared time arrangements.
The article discusses proposals to overhaul state government including a constitutional convention. It notes Representative Pickard's plan to pay legislators only for days worked and Governor Hoff's push for reforms such as annual sessions, a four year term for top officials, easier amendment rules, and reapportionment alignment with population changes. It also mentions a classroom anecdote about Nero.
Examination of President Johnson's education plan shows how selective aid and clever framing skirt church state conflicts. The piece argues Johnson used targeted, poverty focused federal aid and "special purpose" devices to aid public and parochial schools while avoiding a direct constitutional clash. It cites examples like book purchases, supplementary centers, shared facilities, and housing loans to justify broader goals. It notes the political advantage of a two to one congressional majority and the church reform climate, concluding that fiction serves as a social cohesion tool in policy.
