had converted to Reagan administration suppl Side eco it int really nor does anyone imagine that the europeans have the slightest Chance of copying americas re covery by running up colossal deficits and covering them with a flood of foreign Cap for better or for nobody else has that but from the longer there has been a reversal of attitudes away from the idea that governments should be the main economic actor and Back to Reliance on private this is an important swing in the Cycle of Western and it does reflect a european shift in the direction of economic conservatism enshrined in the convergence is a renewed Force for Western it is being countered by a continuing Rise in shortsighted National instead of producing a consensus for states Manship to Deal with problems beyond everybody next the insistence by Chancellor Helmut Kohl of West Germany on the Pitburg visit was to gain immediate Polit ical and it is hard to find anything but desperation behind the obdurate stand

dangerous civil rights Bill should be turned Back very soon the House of representatives will Lake up the most dangerous Bill of the if last years precedent is any guide to this years the House will whoop its the Bill is the Marvel Ousby named civil rights restoration act of that title is truly is it not it was devised by the leadership conference on civil and we can imagine the knee slapping and the cries of boy that arose with this delightful the civil rights Resto ration act of 1985 who could vote against it if the principle of federalism still has if separation is to be maintained Between the Public and private sectors of american if the heavy hand of Federal regulation is not to be Laid upon the whole of our members of Congress had better vote against this devious and deceptive Little let me in 1972 Congress passed a Law prohibit ing sexual discrimination in any education program or activity receiving financial in 1984 the supreme court considered a Case involving Grove City College in the College did not discriminate against anyone it accepted no direct Federal Aid but it did enrol students who had received Federal the Grove City Case presented two questions 1 by accepting students who received Federal was the College itself a recipient of Federal Aid 2 if would ant discrimination provisions of the 1972 act apply throughout the entire institution the High court said yes to 1 and no to it held that the Grants received by Many Grove City students did not trigger institution wide the Grants affected Only the program of financial the courts opinion set off an uproar among civil rights activists who yearned for a broader and it led to the introduction last year of a Bill to overturn the courts decision not Only As to the 1972 education act but As the opinion might affect three other civil rights acts As the Bill roared through the House 37032 but died in the now the Bill is it is cosmetically disguised acc Smy and amm Flewm with fresh lipstick and an innocent it wears this Darling new it is being sold by its sponsors chiefly Edward and Augustus As just a Little harmless measure that no Friend of civil rights could the Many sponsors do not acknowledge perhaps they do not even know the drastic reach of the Bill to which they have Given their the Bill is a its ostensible purpose is merely to define what is meant by program or activity receiving Federal financial it says that for the purpose of enforcing civil rights the term applied to All of the operations of various if any part of a state or local government receives Federal every part becomes subject to the entire panoply of enforcement the Bill would embrace All the operations of a or other private it would spread its net Over every classroom in the its enforcement would demand whole armies of Federal inspectors and bureaucrats to review compliance the Bill contains a Slippery clause that slides easily past the the Bills purpose is to restore the interpretation of the several civil acts As previously the effect of that sly Little provi Sion is to writ into statutory Law thousands of regulations contrived by the bureaucracy Over the past 20 these once validated by the pending would be greatly strengthened and Broad Orrin who led the Battle against the 1984 says the 1985 version is even he is absolutely the Bill is not a Bill to restore anybody civil for no civil rights were taken away by the Grove City it is a Bill to expand Federal Power into every aspect of our Public and private life that conceivably could be reached under the Guise of Federal financial members ought not to be fooled by the few differences Between the 1984 and 1985 this civil rights restoration act of 1985 is last years Model with a fresh coat of Universal press
