Nixon busing plan faces criticism from senators
Senators from both parties urged a bigger federal push to desegregate schools noting that Title I funds run 1.5 billion of 2 billion under existing programs while Congress supports seven billion annually. They questioned HEW policy on tying federal funds to desegregation and the proposed moratorium as critics say the plan omits Southern needs. Thomas N Burns, longtime Chicago Tribune editor, died at 67 in Florida after a career shaping coverage of race in schools and federal education policy.
