musing.

(‘ollege of Law Dean George

details of the case.

Bl'T :\ SOl'Rt‘E within the law

stait member opened the day's mail
before (‘onner did. The source said a
bank statement indicated several
unusual expenditures had occurred,
apparently for personal use.

King said he was contacted last
week by l)arsie about the possible
emlwzzlement. He said he met
Monday with Ruschell, Darsie,

Ford's amnesty program better off iunked

Thanks but no thanks to President Ford for
extending until March 1 the deadline for Viet—
namcra draft evaders and military deserters to
apply for clemency.

In his statement Fordsaid he had reviewed the
program and added, ”I believe that many of
those who could benefit from it are only now
learning of its application to their cases."

President Ford offered conditional amnesty
last September soon offer giving an un-
conditional pardon to former President Richard
M. Nixon. Conditional amnesty i granted to
draft evaders and military desertei who agree
to work for up to two years in public service jobs.

Of 136.900 eligible to take part in the program.
only 8.516 have signed up thus far. This is a good
indication of what draft evaders and military
deserters think of Ford’s program.

Ford extended the program because he said
there was a “significant increase in the number
of applications and inquiries over the last few
weeks.” when a stepped-up publicity campaign
was begun by the Presidential Clemency Board.

In the fast-minute rush generated by the
publicity campaign and the old Jan. 31 deadline
for applications. participation in the program
has increased from three per cent to six per cent.

Although there has been a recent increase in
the number of persons entering the conditional
amnesty program. an additional month will
probably not lead toa significant rise in persons
turning themselves in for conditional amnesty.

So far response to the program has been as
follows:

~The Justice Department. which handles
unsettled cases of violation of the civilian draft
law. reported that only 324 cases out of 4,400
known draft evaders had been handled with 1.600
other cases dropped after a review of records

~~The Defense Department. which handles
unsettled cases of military desertion and ab-

Nicholas Von Hoffman

sence wtihout leave. reported that 4.023 cases out
of 12.500 eligible persons had been settled. with
109 more now being processed.

~ The (‘lemency Board. with 120.000 cases of
convicted and punished civilian and military
personnel. reported 4.000 applications for
clemency in hand.

Ford‘s clemency program is far from
generous so it‘s not surprising that the response
has been so low. When he instituted the program
Ford said that “desertion in time of war is a
major serious offense.“ and that draft evasion
“also is a serious offense." Such actions. he said.
should not. be condoned.

"Yet." he continued“reconciliation calls for
an act of mercy to bind the nation‘s wounds and
to heal the scars of divisiveness.“

Ford‘s words were probably enough to
discourage many from signing up under the
amnesty program It's not only the two years of
public service that kept many from signing up
for clemency but also the “act of mercy" at-
titude that is attached to the program.

While the one month extension may bring a
few more “misginded souls” into the fold. it only
continuis the government's illusion that the fault
lies with the individuals who resisted an unjust
and illegal war

The sooner this clemency program is juiiked,
the better Then maybe the government can
swallow its collective self pride and institute a
real and unconditional amnesty

Proxmire and Reuss have ability to control the Fed

By NICHOLAS VON HOFFMAN

WASHINGTON — If the Senate‘s seniority system
has set the somnambular John Sparkman to drowsing
in the Chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Com-
mittee. it may have compensated us by elevating
William Proxmire to the same position on the Banking
Committee. Although Proxmire is better known for
what he grows on his head than what he has in it. the
Wisconsin Senator represents the best hope in several
generations for changing the way the Federal Reserve
Board conducts the nation‘s monetary policy.

Proxmire says he‘s going to get Arthur Burns. the
Fed‘s chairman. up before the committee to explain
what he‘s doing and why on a regular and sustaining
basis. That may not seem like much unless you ap»
preciate the opaque vapor of unaccountability in which
the people who print our money operate.

Letters to the editor

Now is time to

We are nearing the arrival of an historic moment in
the evolution of human freedom: 3 time when the
action or inaction of a few people can alter the course
of the future. The situation to which l‘m referring is
that involved in desegregation of the Boston school
system. If those forces opposing desegregation win.
then the Black population will be sentenced to con-
tinued social and economic slavery.

It is clear now that unless massive counter action is
made the Boston racists may set a precedent for the
whole country. thus budding a prison wall aiound
everv slum in America. Without an equal education.
the impoverished Black people stand little chance of
escaping the slums. but with it the hope of Black
political and economic equality remains alive

ORDINARILY nobody knows what this agency, with
its power to bring the Joys of inflation or deflation
crashing down on us. is doing until it has already done
it. It‘s harder to know what the Fed is up to. much less
control it. thanit is to put the clamps on the(‘lA.

Theoretically at least. once a year the HA has to
come to ('ongress and get some more money to do
whatever it is that it does. If Congress hasa mind to. it
can usethe fever of appropriations to learn whether the
creature has been behaving itself.

The Fed doesn‘t come to ('ongress for an annual
appropriation. It gets the money it needs from the
profits it makes from trading in government
securities It's perfectly legal. That‘s the way the Fed
was set up. Most of the profit is turned over to the
Treasury. but the process by which it supports itself
encourages a spirit of obdurate independence and
willfulness further bolstered by the fact that the

act on racism

Now we can only dream of a day when there are no
slums, and the majority of Blacks have a chance of
being something other than garbage collectors and
janitors, But I sincerely believe that if we act. and act
meaningfully at this historic moment. we can have a
part in turning these dreams into reality.

are enslaved by their economic conditions. and in

regulations, all recipients would
pay a flat 30 per cent of their net
monthly income for stamps. This
would cut the purchasing power
of the recipients an average of
seven per cent per household.
Small households would stand to

lose the most. .
For example, as outlined by

Butler. a one-person household
would still get stamps valued at
$46. Two-person households
would still get $84 worth of food
stamps per month and three—per-
son households would purchase
slamps valued at $122. Under the
proposed regulations. it would
take a greater investmant to
purchase the same amount of
stamps.

Based on a net monthly income
of $100, for instance. persons
act-Uslomed to paying $18 118 per
cenlt for their $46 worth of
stamps would have to pay $30 130
per cenli for the same stamps
under the proposed regulations *7
a 12 percent loss of purchasing
power. ’l‘wo-parly households
normally paying $23 «23 per cent)
for stamps valued at $84 would

pay $30 at the flat 30 per cent rate
a seven per cent adjustment.

THE NEW FEDERAL food

stamp regulations will have little
effect on University students,
according to local and state
program officials.
' The regulations, proposed by
USDA on Dec. 1. are intended to
open food-stamp eligibility to
“residents of institutes."

Dorm residents and persons
living in sorority and fraternity
housing normally qualify for food
stamps provided: t1) they have
access to cooking facilities: (21
they are not living as one
economic unit; and (3) they meet
all other eligibility requirements.

John Clayton, state food stamp
program speCIalist. said the
guidelines state that only those
residents of institutions who do
not receive the majority of their
meals as a part of an institution
plan are eligible. He said persons
who use a meal-ticket contract
covering two or more meals per
day would be ineligible for the
program.
