«'.\GE IS - rLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1M1 PLAINDEALER --* Editorial Opinion IRS Drug Help A bipartisan group of U.S. senators have introduced legislation to amend a 1976 law that prohibits the Internal Revenue Service from helping law enforcement agencies in their probe of drug trafficking. The proposal would enable IRS to cooperate in investigations of the huge profits being realized from the sale of illegal drugs. The amendment to the Tax Reform act of 1956 would not allow IRS to gather any additional information on taxpayers; it merely fine-tunes the 1976 law to make it easier for IRS to turn over evidence of non-tax crimes to the Justice department. the amendment deserves speedy passage by the 97th Congress. Reading Rights The U.S. Education commissioner, Terrel Bell, has caused somewhat of a flap by taking the position that no public school library should be required to keep books whicn offend the sensibilities of many in their libraries. He explains his position as one endorsing the child's right to read books full of vulgarity and crude language if parents Effective ways to reduce local government costs will be the topic of a Cost-Cutters workshop scheduled for Thursday, May 7, at the Holiday Inn in Rolling Meadows. The workshop, sponsored by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (DCCA), is designed to bring together municipal officials to exchange in­ formation on proven suc­ cessful methods in holding down costs and addressing the problem of inflation. Sessions will run from 9 a m to 4:30 p.m. with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m. Session topics will include: use of civilian personnel in police depart­ ments, contracting for services, creative personnel scheduling, in-house rebuilding of equipment, fuel conservation, self insurance, meter reading innovations and absentee control. One of the highlights of the workshop will be the presentation of the Gover­ nor's Cost-Cutter awards to the cities and villages that have best exhibited programs resulting in cost savings in administering local services. "Municipalities in in­ creasing numbers are fin­ ding themselves faced with unprecendented financial challenges," said DCCA Director John W Castle. "Never before in recent history has the budget been so difficult to balance as costs continue to spiral. "This workshop is offered to help municipalities deal more effectively with these issues," Castle said. Mayors, council members, city managers, finance directors, police chiefs, fire chiefs, and public works directors are urged to at­ tend Persons wishing to pre- register or who want ad­ ditional information should contact DCCA's Office of Local Management Ser­ vices, .222 South College.

He opposes compulsory reading of such books. Since states have laws requiring parents to send their children to school, and since states have lists of books to be included in libraries, the many rather sensational books, often by famous authors, are to be found in public school libraries. And, often, teachers specify them as required reading. Dr. Bell would remove from the "required-list" in public schools such books as The Catcher In The Rye, Lord Of The Flies, Slaughterhouse Five, certain novels by Hemingway, Faulkner and Joyce, etc. Even though these books are by noted authors, Bell feels no child should be required to read them, that such a policy is an abuse against a minority who feel these books are excessively degrading, vulgar or crude. What should be kept in mind is that public acclaim and profits (of successful authors) doesn't mean an author's books are valuable, or even appropriate for children. It only means that the author has been successful. Unfortunately, the public taste is auite low. Dr. Bell says, "Young people need faith and hope and confidence" in the future and snould not be subjected to smut and perversion as required reading. He is right. Parents of children in the public schools should have the right to protect their children from this sort of literature if they wish to. Otherwise, the majority is steamrollering the minority and ignoring individual rights. Ways To Reduce Government Costs For Your Information Dear friends, You are as young as your faith.

Roll Call Report (Your Congressmen's Vote) Washington - Before beginning its current Easter recess, the Senate passed and sent to the House legislation setting the framework for the massive federal spending cuts advocated by the Reagan Administration and its supporters in Congress. In recent weeks, the Plaindealer reported the yeas and nays cast by state senators on final passage of the measure and on some of the amendments voted on during the lengthy debate. Altogether, there were votes on 35 amendments, offered mostly by Democrats challenging the Administration's radical budget surgery. The following covers other important votes that occurred during debate on the measure (S Con Res 9). 'Wasteful Spending'--The Senate rejected, 35 for and 65 against, an amendment directing the Appropriations committee to find ways to cut $2 billion in fiscal 1962 spending by agencies for consultants, office supplies and other items coming under the broad heading of procurement. The fiscal 19B2 procurement budget is about $100 billion. Sponsor David Pryor, D-Ark.. said "a long, hard look" is needed at expenditures for "consultants, furniture purchases, fancy audio visual materials and any unnecessary luxuries that the taxpayers of this country can no longer afford." Opponenet Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., sympathized with the objective but said the amendment burdened the committee with a vague task that in some respects exceeded the committee's jurisdiction. Senators voting "yea" favored a $2 billion across-the-board cut in federal procurement spending in fiscal 1962. Sens. Alan Dixon, D" and Charles Percy, R, voted "nay." Home Heating Aid--By a vote of 37 for and 61 against, the Senate rejected an amendment adding $400 million in fiscal 1962 to the federal program that helps the poor and needy elderly pay home heating bills. Supporter Joseph Biden, D-Del., said heating costs will soar as a result of the Administration's decontrol of oil prices and planned decontrol of natural gas. He said, "I do not think this president really understands the importance of the federal program to help the poor cope with rising energy costs the Administration is contributing to. Opponent John Tower, R-Tex., praised the Administration's in to let the states assume much of the federal program, is "will help assure that the states target the available money to people that have serious problems, instead of spreading it around to a great many people who are not in such great need," he said. Senators voting "yea" favored the $400 million addition for federal home-heating aid. Dixon and Percy voted "nay." School Lunches--The Senate rejected, 35 for and 54 against, an amendment to increase fiscal 1962 and 1983 budget outlays for the school lunch program by $450 million. Sponsor Jim Sasser, D-Tenn., said "let us not cut to the bone on the school lunch program or we will find (it) going out of existence., .and all children - poor, middle and upper income - • may be without a hot luncn program..." Opponent Robert Dole, R-Kas., said "parents are also concerned about inflation, high interest rates, unemployment, over-regulation, the economy in general, and high taxes." Senators voting "yea" wanted to lessen the Administration's planned cuts in spending for school lunches. Dixon and Percy voted "nay." Vocational Education--The Senate rejected, 46 for and 52 against, an amendment to restore $100 million of the Administration's proposed budget cut for vocational education. The restoration covered fiscal 1961-83. Supporter Lawton Chiles, D-Fla., said "we all recognize that unemployment, particularly for the disadvantaged and minorities, is a major national problem." Opponent Peter Domenici, R-N.M., said states and localities have been greatly increasing vocational education spending and "this suggests that (they) may make up a proportion of the reduction in federal expenditures for vocational education." Senators voting "yea" favored restoring some of the Administration's planned cut in vocational education spending. Dixon voted "yea." Percy voted "nay." Foreign Aid--By a vote of 70 for ans 26 against, the Senate cut $200 million from fiscal 1982 foreign aid outlays. This was coupled with a separate vote adding $200 million to child nutrition programs. Sponsor Jesse Helms, R-N.C., said his amendment "is taking some money which otherwise would go to foreign countries and applying a small part of it for school lunches for American children." Opponent Claiborne Pell, D-R.I., said he is "all for school lunch programs" but that the Helms amendment "sends the wrong signal around the world as to what our priorities are" in foreign aid Senators voting "yea" supported transferring $200 million from foreign aid to child nutrition programs. Dixon voted "yea." Percy voted "nay." Education Spending--The Senate rejected, 33 for and 65 against, an amendment to restore $435 million in fiscal 1962 outlays for the part of the Elementary and Secondary Education act (Title I) directed at educating poor children. Supporter Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., said the Administration's "enormous cut" in Title I funding will "deny important educational services to millions of low income school children." Opponent Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, noted that the Administration plan is to consolidate some 45 federal education programs having 106 pages of regulations and requiring state and local officials to spend 137,000 hours each year filling out federal forms. He said the Moynihan amendment "would do nothing to help control the inflationary impact of present government spending levels." Senators voting "yea" favored restoring $436 million in planned cuts in spending for poor elementary and secondary school pupils. Dixon voted "yea." Percy voted "nay."

"Now state legislators in and out of Chicago, and in and out of the collar coun­ ties, are demonstrating that they and their constituents have had enough of the uncontrolled taxation and mismanagement by that un- elected, politically appointed bureaucracy. "There are now over a dozen proposed bills in the hoppers at Springfield to trim, regulate, or eliminate powers of the RTA. "AH or any of them would benefit McHenry county citizens. "Four proposals are concerned with discon­ necting the collar counties from Chicago, five demand reapportionment and-or election instead of ap­ pointment of board mem­ bers, two call for abolishing special taxing powers of the RTA, one would establish a three-man commission to oversee RTA finances, and other projected legislation would curtail or control additional RTA policies. "The legislators especially involved with these measures are Represen­ tatives Katz, Stanley, Davis, Barkhausen, Pullen, Grossi, Catania, Hannig, Watson, MacDonald, Klemm, and Jill Zwick, and Senators Mahar, Sangmeister, Friedland, Savickas, Jeremiah Joyce, Jerome Joyce, and Jack Schaffer. "A simple message, a single sentence on a postacard, saying no more than that 'we appreciate and encourage your efforts concerning the RTA* would fortify these 19 legislators and others you know by showing them that they are not alone in their concerns.

Post Office Fight Billing Swindlers A campaign to alert businesses to swindlers Who steal millions of dollars a year by sending false bills by mail for services not ren­ dered and products not delivered has been launched by the U.S. Postal service, according tp Chief Postal Inspector ' Kenneth H. Fletcher. "These thieves collect from 15 to 20 percent of the proceeds from all the false bills they mail," Fletcher said, "because they have found that many firms fail to verify the existence of a bona fide obligation. Fletcher said unwitting victims are quickly iden­ tified once they pay and are soon flooded with additional invoices for non-existent charities, publications, office supplies and services. The postal service now has a brochure. False Billing is Mail Fraud, warning businesses not to pay for invoices until they are verified against products and services received. It also cautions them about phone callers selling ad­ vertising space in publications they are un­ familiar with. While its investigations have halted hundreds of false billing schemes over the last few years, the Postal Inspection service warns that the fraud is a lucrative one and others continue to flourish. The new brochure, available at all post offices, urges those who become aware of such schemes to contact the postal inspection service through their nearest postmaster. The boldness of these promoters is best illustrated by the Southern California operator recently sentenced men in short skirts, flared trous­ ers, and other "displays of de­ cadence."

"He often solicited victims first over the phone with phony accents to make the sales pitch more con­ vincing." Fletcher said regardless of the response to the initial telephone pitch, companies were always billed. Before the inspection service in­ vestigation put a stop to the Southern California false billing scheme, the operator grossed more than $5 million for advertising space sold in more than 20 non-existent publications represented as minority-oriented.
