Survey Finds Diversion of Crime Crusade Funds
Washington AP A National Urban Coalition study argues federal crime money grants rarely prevent crime and mostly fund police hardware. It says 1969 and 1970 appropriations reached 68 million and 268 million with projected budgets 450 to 500 million, highlighting neglect of corrections, juvenile treatment, and court reform across 12 states including California Florida Illinois Indiana Massachusetts Michigan New Jersey New York North Carolina Ohio Pennsylvania and Texas. The report urges LEAA leadership, broader community planning, and establishment of local criminal justice offices or coordinating councils to better target funds.

Nixon seeks cutback in paperwork in federal government
President Nixon proposes a five percent reduction in the estimated 100 million man hours spent annually on Forms under the Federal Reports Act. He aims to save about 200 million in fiscal 1971 by trimming executive branch handling of reports and related paperwork costing 8 to 10 billion dollars yearly. Norman Peterson of the OMB said the total cost includes forms in Congress and the courts, with 5,000 questions affecting individuals and businesses.
