THIS WORLD( OF OURS Here'* another way you can help our environment: Dierer run half loads in the dishwasher or washing machine! It's an enormous waste of a nat­ ural resource - water. The extra cycles just add more waste and detergents to already burdened sewage and water treatment facil­ ities. After three weeks of hearings, the House Judiciary committee is no closer to resolving the subject of school busing than it was when the hearings began. Most of the testimony has been in support of a brief Constitutional amendment which provides simply that 'No public school student shall, because of his race, creed, or color be assigned to or required to attend a particular school." Most of those who have testified -- including several dozen members of Congress from areas where school busing is a major issue -- have ex­ pressed support for this Con­ stitutional change. However, the legal scholars who have appeared before the Com­ mittee, unanimously oppose any such language in our federal Constitution. The principal argument in support of a Constitutional amendment is that this is the only apparent way to overcome the adverse Supreme court decisions which require busing of students to achieve "racial balance." Such decisions are a flat repudiation of the Congressional policy which states that Fkieral funds shall not be employed to effect "racial balance." Accordingly, it is claimed that only an anti- busing Constitutional amend­ ment can override these decisions of the Supreme court. Recently, another Con­ stitutional route has been suggested ~ and has received substantial support -- par­ ticularly from Senator Robert Griffin of Michigan. This in­ volves the exercise of authority under Article III of the Con­ stitution which vests jurisdiction in the Federal Courts "with such exceptions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make." The language quoted is in­ terpreted by many to authorize the Congress to withdraw authority from the federal courts in various types of cases. Accordingly, Senator Griffin and others have recommended that the Congress should deny power to the federal courts to order busing as part of a school desegregation plan. While this geqeral Con­ stitutional authority would appear to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts in school desegregation cases, there is the added fear that any such legislation might violate another part of the Con­ stitution, namely the 14th Amendment which assures "equal protection of the laws." A more moderate approach to the perplexing problem of school busing is embodied in the so-called Scott-Mansfield amendment sponsored jointly by Senator Mike Mansfield of Montana and Senator Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, the majority and minority leaders respectively of the Senate. This approach would restrict the use of federal funds for busing students under a desegregation plan and would forbid busing children from neighborhoods with good schools to more distant neighborhoods with bad ones. There is no apparent disagreement with the original desegregation case of Brown v. Board of Education decided in 1954. However, the more recent case of Swann v. Board of Education, decided last year, substituted a Court ordered busing plan for the desegregation plan adopted by a local school board. The Swann case has met with sharp opposition even from many so- called civil rights liberals. Still, there is language in the Swann decision which appears to grant a possible way out of the dilemma. One part of Judge Burger's opinion states that objections to the busing of students may have validity "when the time or distance of travel is so great as to risk either the health of the children or significantly impinge on the educational process." A legislative measure which elaborates upon these par ticular considerations would seem at this time to be the most likely proposal to emerge from the House Judiciary committee hearings - if, indeed, any All-electric living makes mobile homes completely modern. A mobile home can't be completely modern when it has an unsightly storage tank, piping and chimney. Or the odors that come from combustion. So more and more subdivision and individual mobile home owners are turning to all-electric living. Electric heating is clean and quiet, and there's no flame to worry about. It's as safe as a light bulb. And because all-electric mobile homes are better insulated, you have better year-round comfort. A modern way of life should have modern power. Mobile homes and electricity were made for each other. Commonwealth Edison concern for your total environment tangible result at all is to be forthcoming. Throughout the hearings there is a constant reminder of a need for quality education for all students on a relatively equal basis. Desegregation plans must not obscure this need nor ignore those most directly involved - namely, the school children of America. &' TRAFFIC FATALITIES DOWN A 46 per cent reduction in Illinois traffic fatalities during the first 25 days in February compared to the same period last year has been announced by Transportation Secretary William F. Cellini. Forty-eight persons were killed in traffic accidents while during those 15 days in 1971 89 fatalities were reported. Know Your Firemen HELP CIVIL DEFENSE Emergency readiness is the goal of a new nation-wide civil defense program under which excess federal property is loaned to communities for a five-year period, according to Yal Oshel, Illinois State Civil Defense director. Oshel said more than 40 communities have applied for property to fill their needs for emergency equip­ ment. The community, he added, must show that the equipment is needed in its Civil Defense Emergency Program. HAL M. HARRIS Hal M.
