TLEDGE EXPORTED TO POOR NEIGHBORHOODS
11 (By Kenneth Eskey)
This has been a banner year on college
campuses for demonstrations, protests, up-
heavals, and revolts.
Generally overlooked was a quiet form of
activity known as tutoring.
Hundreds of Pittsburgh college students
spent their afternpons and evenings in settle-
ment houses and church basements, helping
boys and girls learn arithmetic and spelling,
ph tea physics and debates on Vietnam are teach-
ins, perhaps the tutoring sessions in city
neighborhoods can be called teachouts.
The teachouts here stem from the civil
rights and antipoverty movements. Much of
the tutoring is done in poor neighborhoods,
where, children often need extra help to keep
up with more fortunate classmates.,
Chatham College students have been work-
ing at Fifth Avenue High School and Herron
Hill junior, High School since 1963.
Action-Housing has been using college stu-
dents as tutors in Homewood-Brushton,
Hazelwood, and the Perry Hilltop area.
But the largest tutoring programs in town
are the Hill education project (HEP) at the
University of Pittsburgh and the North Side
tutorial project in Manchester.
REP is strictly a student operation. Pitt's
contribution is a room on the fifth floor of
Schenley Hall.
This year's cochairmen were Irv Garfinkel,
a history major from Squirrel Hill who wants
to be a social worker, and Marcia McNutt, a
doctor's daughter from Ford City who con-
siders HEP a full-time job.
Marcia figures HEP is a good energy outlet.
"Some students just sit around smoking
marihuana and drinking booze," she said,
without citing any cases.
Her biggest problem-a shortage of tutors.
"See those flies," she said, pointing to an
open drawer. "Those are requests we can't
handle."
As many as 250 students have been active
tutors during the school year, ' and another
50 to 75 worked as supervisors or youth club
directors.
((~~ ~~pp~~ tutoring force `has dwindled to about
`84isinice the end of Pitt's winter trimester in
April, but a major summer program is
planned for July and August.
Most of the tutoring Is done at the Held-
man Center in the Hill district. Tutors are
expected to work 2 to 4 hours a week, usually
late afternoons and evenings.
There is no pay, only the satisfaction of
doing a job.
The North Side tutorial project uses stu-
dents from other Pittsburgh colleges. Like
HEP, it started in 1963.
Supervisor of the North Side program is
Mary Frances Brown, who gets a salary
through the United Fund, operates out of
Manchester House and attends Duquesne
University part time.
The 110 tutors: in her program are unpaid
and, generally put in one afternoon or eve-
ning a week.
Many of the tutors come from the other
side Of town.,
Janet,; raunstein, a sophomore at.Carnegie
Institute o(''Technoiogy, commutes from her
home in Greenfield each weel to the Bidwell
Street Presbyterian Church to tutor a fifth
grader in English.
How many tutoring programs there are in,
tbe.city no one knows, but the list is grow-
inggyather Milan shrinking.
Duquesne ,'and iVkt.'14ercy College students
have been tutoring at Brashear Center In
the South Side and the Mount Mercy stu-
dents also tutor at St. Clair Village.
The School of Education at Duquesne has
as pecial program for teachers preparing for
jobs in poar neighborhoods and runs its own
tutoring program on the side.

College students will serve this summer as
assistant teachers in Project Head Start, an
antipoverty program to prepare children for
kindergarten and first grade.
Literacy and Poll Tax
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
OF
HON. THOMAS L. ASHLEY
OF .OHIO
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, June 9, 1965
Mr. ASHLEY. Mr. Speaker, I am con-
cerned at the inconsistency of a voting
rights bill which purports to give every
citizen the right to vote by eliminating
literacy tests but gives only passing rec-
ognition to the more widespread dis-
crimination from the levying of a poll
tax.
A Toledo Blade editorial of May 27,
"Literacy and Poll Taxes," points up the
incongruity in the argument over the
that a poll tax actually results in wid-
er discrimination by keeping more peo-
ple, both white and Negro, from exer-
cising their right to vote than literacy
tests aimed at racial" discrimination.
This is a point well worth considering
in the days ahead, a?id it is my hope that
this body will act to eliminate the poll
tax as well as to outlaw literacy tests.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to include as
part of my remarks the Toledo Blade
editorial to which I referred and com-
mend it to the attention of my col-
leagues:
With administration leaders planning to
voice,. cloture to. force a vote in the Senate
n the voting rights bill, two arguments con-
nue on its constitutionality.
The effort by northern liberals to impose
flat prohibition on poll taxes in State and
I cal elections bas been sidetracked, at least
mporarily.
By a slim majority, the Senate voted
ainst that provision, on the grounds that
I was probably unconstitutional. Instead,
f adopted a declaration that in certain
tates the right to vote is denied or abridged
y requiring poll tax payments.
This is intended to strengthen the hand of
ttorney general Katsenbach in getting the
preme Court to invalidate. poll taxes for
at reason,
On the other hand, the Senate majority
rushed aside southern opposition to a pro-
ion of the bill which will prohibit literacy
t sts in five Southern States and parts of
o others. It rejected an amendment which
ould have required a voter, regardless of
r ce, to prove only that he could read and
rite English.
Favoring a strong voting rights bill
t ough we do, what baffles us is the incon-
s tency by which the Senate majority goes
amantly ahead in banning literacy tests
at hesitates to do the same for poll taxes.
Poll taxes, on their face, restrict voting
r ghts to those who can afford to pay for
1 e privilege. If they have been employed
f r years to bar Negroes from the polls in
a me of the Southern States, they have also
en equally effective in keeping a great
any whites from voting.
Their elimination would extend voting
rights to both groups indlscriminantly.
Barring literacy tests only in five South-
ern States and parts of two others would be
Federal discrimination with a vengeance. In
New York State, where uniform literacy tests
are required for voters who cannot produce
an eighth-grade certificate, it is estimated
that 15 percent of those taking the test fail
every year.
Is Federal law to presume that all the peo-
ple in Alabama and Mississippi are smarter
than these New Yorkers?
As for the contention that any literacy test
could be employed to deny Negroes their vot-
ing rights, what about California's, where a
person seeking to register need only be able
to write his name in English?
A key provision of the voting rights bill
is that Federal examiners shall register vot-
ers in areas where discrimination is practiced.
What could be simpler than to have them
register by signing their names in English,
as is done in California?
New York State Legislature Urges Presi-

'ENSIGN OF REMARKS
OF
HON. ABRAHAM J. MULTER
OF NEW YORK
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, June 9, 1965
Mr. MULTER. Mr. Speaker, I com-
mend to the attention of our colleagues
the following resolution adopted by the
Legislature of the State of New York on
May 12, 1965, urging our Government
to take an official stand against Soviet
anti-Semitism:
RESOLUTION 90
Concurrent resolution memorializing the
President and the Congress of the United
States to condemn anti-Semitism in the
Soviet Union and to take steps to prevent
further persecutions of, and acts of terror-
ism and confiscation against, Jews residing
therein
Whereas the people of the State of New
York and of the United States are deeply
shocked by reports appearing in the press and
elsewhere concerning the continued oppres-
sion, persecution and tyranny of the Govern-
ment of Soviet Russia directed toward Rus-.
sian Jewry residing in Soviet Russia; and
Whereas many acts of terrorism, confisca-
tion and persecution have already been com-
mitted against such Jewry and even more
serious acts are threatened; and
Whereas such acts have resulted, unjustly
and unwarrantedly, in the confiscation of
property and in the deprivation of rights,
privileges and immunities possessed by the
Jewish people in that country; and
Whereas the Government of the United
States because of its humanitarian interests
in the various peoples of this country and
their interest in and relationship to the
persecuted Jews of Soviet Russia, should
register emphatic protest with the Russian
Government with a firm request that it
should cease and desist in Its program of
persecution; and
Whereas the Government of the United
States has on other occasions intervened and
interceded in behalf of persecuted minori-
ties in other countries: Now, therefore, be

essential to any sound, program. For years,
there has een hand wringing about, the
state of American highways-the billboard
"Ilgilt s, a cancerous growth o auto
junkyards recently. Robert Moses, through
his .Long Island parkways, first reversed this
trend by establishing the precedent of
green barrier strip to shut out unsightliness.
The Federal Government, through its vast
intergtatQ highway system, sought to achieve
the same end through bonuses to the States.
The. assorted . State turnpike authorities or
cong4issions, to a greater or lesser degree, set
up some controls. But nobody laid it on the
line better, or more clearly defined the issues,
than Wd the President last week.
Mr.' Johnson asked Congress to take four
significant steps:
1. Except in areas "zoned or used predomi-
nantly for commercial or industrial pul?-
poses," the States would be required to pro-
hibit billboards within 1,000 feet of inter-
state and primary Federal-aid highways,
these, in New York including major State
highays. The penalty: the loss of Federal-
aid moneys for the construction of such
roads.
2. New junkyards would be banned within
1,000 feet, and existing eyesores of this type
would have to be screened or removed by
1970. The same penalty could be invoked.
3. States would be required to use 3 per-
cent of Federal highway aid (about $120
million at present levels) for beautification
along the-roads. - -
4. One-third of the Federal aid received
for secondary roads (about $100 million)
would have to be used to construct scenic
secondary roads, or to construct access roads
to beauty spots, or for landscaping along
pr,sent roads.

David Rockefeller Says United States Can
Absorb Slash in Defense Spending
EXTENSION OP R1 MA AKS
of
HON. F. BRADFORD MORSE
OF MASSACHUSETTS
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, June 9, 1965
Mr. MORSE. Mr. Speaker, I have long
believed that an economy as buoyant and
imaginative as that of the United States
should look upon projected reductions in
defense spending as an opportunity
rather than a problem.
I was delighted to note' in the Monday,
June 7 issue of the Wall Street Journal
that one of the most thoughtful members
of, the business community, Chase Man-
hattan Bank President David Rocke-
feller, expressed a similar view in a re-
cent Seattle address.
Mr. Rockefeller pointed out that lead-
ing defense firms need not be restricted
to defense problems. He said:
The fact is that they are in the problem-
solving business and this Nation is a long
way from running out of problems.
I commend Mr. Rockefeller's remarks
to all of my colleagues and ask unani-
mous consent to include the Wall Street
Journal account of his address in the
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD following my re-
marks:
DAVIDROCKEFELLER SAYS UNITED STATES CAN
ABSORB SLASH IN DEFENSE SPENDING: CHASE
BANK PRESIDENT CITES NEED To STRESS
GROWTH POSSIBILITIES MILITARY CUTBACK
WOULD AFFORD
NEW YORK.-David Rockefeller, president
of Chase Manhattan Bank, said the United
States could stand a heavy reduction in de-
fense spending In the next' few years without
serious disruption of the national economy.
In a Seattle speech, Mr. Rockefeller said
the cutbacks could be absorbed if business,
communities, and Government take "sensible
steps to regear the. defense machinery to
civilian needs."
"I feel that too much emphasis has been
placed on the problem of conversion and too
little on the opportunities it affords for
strengthening our longrun growth poten-
tial," he asserted. "Fear of the economic
impact of defense cutbacks has been exag-
gerated to the point where it has obscured
for many people the underlying dynamism of
our economy and its remarkable resilience in
adjusting to change."
GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT
Mr. Rockefeller suggested that the cur-
rent 9 to 10 percent contribution of defense
activities to the gross national product could
safely be cut back to 5 percent or even lower
if, as projected, the gross national product
rises to about $780 billion by 1970 from the
present $660 billion. That reduction, he
said, could be effected "without imposing an
unsustainable burden and, I would hope,
without weakening our defenses."
Already, Mr. Rockefeller noted, there are
many instances in which communities where
military installations have been closed have
replaced them with nondefense Industries.
Also, he said numerous industries are apply-
ing techniques learned in defense production
to new types of civilian-goods production.
He cited specifically the success of Seattle-
based Boeing Co. In expanding commercial
aircraft sales as military sales declined.
"Many defense contractors do themselves
an injustice in conveying the impression that
they can work only on missiles and space
vehicles," Mr. Rockefeller said. "The fact is
that they are in the problem-solving busi-
ness, and this Nation is a long way from
running out of problems.

nies that offer scientific, manufacuring, fi-

the Constitution? H
The American formula for survival 1 this
atomic age is strict limitation upon the l5ower
of government. Some professed liberals,
however, are seeking to undermine our Con-
stitution, and liberate our Government from
all constitutional limitations. This process
has taken the form of unlimited taxing and
spending by our Government.
. Over 700 Government-owned corporations
are operating in direct competition with pri-
vate enterprise. Where is the constitutional
authority, in the original document or
through amendment, that permits the Fed-
eral Government to operate power companies,
insurance or manufacturing businesses, or
other components of the welfare-illfare state?
The powers not specifically delegated are re-
served to the States under the 10th amend-
ment to the Constitution.
In these crucial times, is not too much
emphasis put on so-called rights, when
wrongs are being inflicted on the Consti-
tution?
The field of education, for example, is
not excluded from State control, but it is
excluded from Federal control, because it
has never been delegated to the Federal Gov-
ernment, and is reserved under the 10th
amendment.
The 14th amendment, if relied on for justi-
fication, was never legally adopted. Three-
fourths of the States failed to ratify, and New
Jersey and Ohio rescinded their previous
ratifications. The 14th amendment, however,
has never been legally applicable, because
only to the Congress is given the power to
enforce its provisions.
The Constitution has been grossly disre-
garded, and the socialistic theories of a
Swede, Gunnar Myrdal, substituted, by
means of a court decision, under which the
Constitution is thought to be outmoded as
impractical and unsuited to modern con-
ditions; that its adoption was nearly a plot
against the common people. In recent years,
court decisions have ranged from forced in-
tegration to forced reapportionment. Such
decisions, is not conforming to the law of the
land, fall under the heading of what Justice
Cardozo would have called enforceable de-
crees, but not real decisions. Such decisions
are thought by many to be lawless, in that
the court presumes to make law, a power
it does not have.
Article IV, section 4, guarantees to every
State a republican form of government, and
protection against invasion either by Fed-
eral troops or U.S. marshals, except on ap-
plication of the legislature or the State's
executive. The use of force, to implement
an invalid decree, is in direct violation of the
constitutional provision.
The Civil Rights Act of 1960 was alleged
to contain 11 or more specific violations of
the Constitution. The Civil Rights Act of
1965, illegal and unconstitutional on its face,
is to be used as a club against Virginia and
States in the Deep South, which did not
support the administration in the recent
presidential electlpn.. _
Will there be anything left of the Con-
stitution, unless these usurpations of power
by Federal agencies are checked?
The Federal Government is today imposing
on the States and the people in the same
manner that the central government under
George III imposed upon the American
colonists in 1776.
"The British monarch has erected a mul-
titude of new offices, and sent hither swarms
of officers to harass our people, and eat out
their substance."
Does that sound familiar?
Federal bureaucracy is rampant through-
out the land, to the point of confiscation,
and Federal agencies operate to enforce cen-
tralized authority, rather than reflect the
will of the people.
