Ford Seeks Time Limits on Federal Desegregation Orders
President Ford asked Congress to limit federal judges in school desegregation cases and impose a five year cap on busing orders. Atty. Gen. Levi explained the bill would not affect districts under existing court mandates, and the clock would start on the act’s effective date. Levi stressed the bill targets overreach while permitting compliance to avoid unconstitutional effects. West Virginia meanwhile announced a July 1 increase in weekly unemployment benefits to 128 dollars, up 18 dollars from last year, tied to the state's average wage and 66 2/3 percent calculation.
