I'AGk 2 - PLAINDEALER HERALD, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 17.1984 Opinion/Politics lip Crane, R-12, voted no. CASTING-By a vote of 167 for and 233 against, Conservation corps funds are approved Here's how area members of Congress were recorded on major •roll call votes Oct. 5 through Oct. 11. : ^ HOUSE CORPS-The House passed, 296 for and 75 against, a bill to establish an American Conservation Corps at a three-year cost of $50 million. The bill (HR 999) was sent to the White House. Some 18,000 young persons of ages 16 to 25 would receive the minimum wage for maintenance work on Indian reservations and other public land. They would work for state and federal agencies, which would be encouraged to hire poor youths. . Sponsor John Seiberling, D-Ohio, said, "there are 1.4 million teenagers who are looking for work and the unemployment rate for black teenagers alone is nearly 42 percent." Opponent Bill Frenzel, R-Minn., called it wasteful to spend tax- ; payers' money to fill 18,000 jobs "which might well be done by others more effectively." Members voting yes wanted to establish and American Con­ servation Corps program. Illinois--Rep. Philip PUBLIC BROADCj the House rejected an amendment to increase public broadcasting funding by 15 percent rather than 25 percent over three years. It raises fiscal 1987-89 authorizations for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to $675 million. This essentially restores a 40 percent cut inflicted by Congress in 1981 at the Administration's request. Sponsor Michael Oxley, R-Ohio, said "big spenders" in the House would reveal themselves by voting against this amendment. Opponent John Dingell, D-Mich., said the higher budget would "assure high quality programming on radio and TV of the kind which is desperately necessaiy." Members voting no favored a higher funding level for public broadcasting. Illinois-Rep. Philip Crane, R-12, voted yes. SENATE u-JT^NDIN**-The ^enate Passed. 78 for and 11 against, a $370 billion appropriations measure to partially fund the federal government in FY 1985, which began Oct. 1. This cleared the bill (HJ Res 648) for President Reagan's signature. The House failed to conduct a record vote when it ap­ proved the measure. Enactment of the catch-all funding approach was necessary because the 98th Congress was unable to pass the full complement of individual appropriations bills during two years of wor&. Senators voting yes supported the bill. Illinois - Alan Dixon, D, voted yes. Charles Percy, R, did not vote. FREEZE-By a vote of 55 for and 42 against, the Senate tabled (killed) a nuclear freeze proposal urging the Administration to negotiate with the Soviet Union a mutual halt in weapons production and a mutual reduction in arsenals. The vote occurred during debate on a debt ceiling measure (HJ Res 654) that later was approved. John Tower, R-Tex., who voted to table the amendment, said the proposal "would freeze the Soviet Union into a position of superiority in the nuclear field." Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., asked, "Instead of overkill upon overkill, why not start now with a (mutual) freeze?" Senators voting no favored the nuclear freeze amendment. Illinois - Dixon voted no. Percy did not vote. TRUCKS-By a vote of 75 for and 21 against, the Senate tabled (killed) an amendment to change the interstate highway funding formula to the benefit of states having the heaviest snow and highest volume of truck traffic. Currently, a state's share of federal interstate maintenance New laws address child abuse Children are one of our nation's most valuable resources. Today's children will one day grow up to be our scientists, politicians, scholars and presidents. Sadly enough, some of today's children will also grow up to be tomorrow's child abusers. Over 1.4 million children in our country were reported as suspected victims of abuse last year--63,000 in Illinois. One out of every four girls will be molested by age 18 as will one out of every seven boys. Experts expect child abuse to increase by 25 percent in 1984. Frightening statistics for those who are the future of our country. Child abuse has been receiving more attention recently from highly publicized tragic situations where children have been killed, maimed or sexually assaulted. But, every day thousands of children are victims of abuse that will never be publicized, perhaps never discovered. And these "private" abuses are usually just as mentally or physically damag­ ing as the publicized incidents. I think it is vitally important that we not only address the im­ mediate problem of preventing child abuse, but also the long- range problems involved. Child abuse leaves deep, permanent scars on the abused which often alter their direction in life. Studies on child abusers have shown a definite link between child abuse and future acts of abuse or crime. Springfield Report esteem and dignity. Once a person has been robbed of these, the future can look very dim. Abused children frequently have pro­ blems in school and difficulty relating to other children and adults. Unless help is found, these problems usually carry over into their adult lives,. During the past session, several bills were passed -to protect children in various ways. One of the major pieces of legislation established I-SEARCH units to aid in locating abducted or missing children. Two other bills specifically address the issue of child abuse. HB 3095 was designed to speed investigation of reported child abuse by making it easier for those who suspect sexual abuse to report their suspicions to the pro­ per authorities. This will enabje medical personnel, ' social workers, school personnel and others who know of children under age 11 with venereal disease to report the cases to the Depart­ ment of Children and Family Ser­ vices. The other, SB 1880, requires the Department of Public Aid to report unsuitable family settings or homes to DCFS. Money was also added to the DCFS budget for a "Child Care Monitoring Unit.*' A large majority of child abusers were once victims of abuse themselves. If this trend is allow­ ed to continue, we will have a rapid growth in child abuse with each generation. Child abuse attacks the very- core of the abused--their self Crane backs Percy REAL SPOOKY NtWfrrk U5A, U.S. Rep. Philip M. Crane, R- Mount Prospect, congressman for McHenry County and much of the northwest suburban area, announced this week he would join three other Republican conservatives in declaring support for Sen. Charles Percy (R-Ill.) in Percy's bid for re­ election. A news conference is scheduled for Monday in Chicago. Joining Crane will be fellow Illinois GOP Congressmen Henry Hyde and Tom Corcoran and leading Illinois conservative Donald Totten. The Illinois conservatives said they want to demonstrate their support for Percy in the wake of an announcement by a few Washington conservatives that they will not back the Illinois senator. 4 Crane said it is important that Percy be sent back to the Senate. "President Reagan needs a Republican Senate if he is to continue the fine job erf turning this country away from the path plowed by the Carter-Mondale Administration," Crane said. "In addition, Chuck Percy's voting record is far more con­ servative than that of his op­ ponent, Paul Simon." FRAN'S HIDDEN CURL 1212 N. GREEN ST.

Steven Symms, R-Idaho, who voted to kill the amendment, called the proposed change "totally unacceptable" to states such as his. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said one 40-ton truck does as much road .damage as 9,600 cars, and he noted that salting to melt snow also is a destructive force. < Illinois Dixon voted yes. Percy did not vote. APPOINTMENTS The Governor announced last week that he has named Assistant United States Attorney Jeremy D. Margolis as Illinois' first Inspec­ tor General and that Thomas B.
