Metcalfe seeks restoration of Chicago school funds
Congressman Ralph H. Metcalfe joined the Chicago delegation in pressing HEWs Caspar Weinberger to back down from a threat to withhold 3.2 million dollars in federal funds for the Chicago public schools. He argues a positive policy to integrate faculties exists and has been implemented, noting progress such as a moratorium on transfers after probationary years and warning that failure to reach integration by 1976 could end his support.
