America's climate has been changing greatly in recent years. And many blacks see a different, insidious kind of prejudice implicit in forced > busing; one that says, in effect, a black student can't learn unless he's between two white ones. California's superin­ tendent Of public instruction, Wilson Riles, himself black, has been openly critical of forced busing on these grounds. Mottl's bill does nothing to prohibit open enrollment, voluntary busing, magnet schools and other non- compulsory methods for strengthening racial in­ tegration. The bill says, "no student shall be compelled to attend public school other than the one nearest his residence." In other words, neighborhood schools. Will the Mottl amendment pass? > On June 11, an amendment to an education bill by Rep. John Ash brook, R-Ohio, prohibiting federal funds for busing, got 62.7 percent of the vote. In 1977, a similar measure by Mottl got 58.7 percent. Mottl's allies are encouraged by the increase. In order to pass, the Mottl amendment will need two- thirds of the votes of members present. If it does pass, then passes the Senate, it goes through the ratification process •spw&ii $&&&£&3s £ ' Both pro- and anti-busing force?, are bombarding members of the House of Representatives in an effort to line up votes for a July 24 showdown on Capitol>Hill. On that day, the House will vote whether to pass on to the Senate a constitutional amend­ ment which would have the effect of putting an end to mandatory busing of school children for the purpose of achieving racial balance. Despite opposition by the House leadership and refusal of the key committee chairman to hold hearings on the proposed amendment, Rep. Ron Mottl, D-Ohio, the author of the bill, in late June achieved a rare distinction among his colleagues: he got enough signatures on a "discharge petition" to force the measure to the floor of the House. The young Democrat from Cleveland, now in his third term in Congress, had done it the hard way. Beginning in his first year, 1975, when Rep. Don Edwards, D-Calif., chairman of the House Subcommittee on Civil and Constitutional Rights, refused to hold hearings on the bill, Mottl sought petition signatures from his fellow members. A majority of the membership - 218 - is required to put such a petition over the top. That year Mottl got only 17 names. In the next Congress, he was up to 201 signatures, litis time he made it. It happened about the time Howard Miller, Los Angeles school board president and a champion of forced busing, was losing a recall election. That fact may have provided: something of a thermometer reading of public sentiment on the issue for the final few signers. Though proponents of busing - three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve it. That should provide plenty of time for full discussion of sensible alternatives to an expensive experiment which is becoming increasingly un­ popular on all sides. S.L.

Dixon Secretary of State Speed, although not always the primary cause, is a major concern in many motor vehicle accidents. When combined.with other violations, mechanical failure or error of judgment, it can become the-detecmk»i»" factor which disaster. Maximum and minimum speed limits, designated' by Illinois law, were created ior public safety, but our nation's current fuel shortage gives added impetus to the 55 m.p.h. maximum speed limii. Strict enforcement of speed laws by state police serves a two-fold purpose: saving lives and conserving gasoline, and each of us can help to achieve these goals by observing the speed laws. You may drive at maximum allowable speed only under proper conditions. Regardless of the limits which may be posted, the law provides that no person shall drive at a speed whith is greater than is reasonable and proper with regard to traffic conditions and the use of the highway, or which endangers the safety of any person or property. Speed must also be reduced, if necessary for safety, under these conditions: 1. Approaching and crossing an intersection. 2. Approaching and going around a curve. :h Traveling on a narrow, or winding roadway. 4. Existing hazards due to pedestrians, traffic, weather or road conditions. • A copy of the RMes of the Road will be sent to you upon request. Write to Alan J. Dixon, Secretary of Slate.
