Approximately $600,000 of the total already has been committed in certificates of deposit or time deposits in 19 institutions in 12 areas where the company has operations or interests, and the remainder will be deposited in the near future, according to Anderson. Liiti Cities funds were amounts in deposited ranging from said Anderson $10,000 to $100,000 in minority-owne- d or managed institutions in these cities: Chicago; Compton, Calif.; Danville, Va.; Durham, N.C.; Houston; Los Angeles; Memphis; New York; Portland, Ore.; Seattle; Springfield, 111., and Washington, D.C. The Atlantic Richfield executive commented: "By this action, we hope to tangibly encourage new business enterprise by minority residents in each of these areas. We feel that the deposits will have a substantial multiplier effect, helping to foster economic growth in both businesses and the communities involved." Expanded Program Anderson said that Atlantic Richfield has deposited smaller amounts in a few minority banks in the past, but never in the range or numbers of institutions announced today. "It is important, we feel, that major companies help finance and economic minority advancement through some deposits in banks serving these minority groups," he stressed. self-relian- ce Senate Hears Need to Spur Rural Growth WASHINGTON (UPI) Hubert H. Humphrey, - County's air pollution control agency and area citizens has hindered efforts to increase air quality there, according to a study by a student group from The University of Michigan. Also, says the group, the agency has been reluctant to "take a hard stand" with industries that violate pollution laws. These are among the findings released by three natural resource graduate students and three law students who investigated the operations of the Wayne County Air Pollution Control Division last fall. Used Interviews The study, done in connection with an environmental law course taught by Prof. Joseph L. Sax, is based on an examination of the air pollution control agency and interviews with agency personnel, area citizens groups, representatives of industry, natural and newspapermen resources experts from the U-Prof. Sax, an environmental law authority who drafted Michigan's new Environmental Protection Act, said the study: "This kind of work the monitoring of public agencies desperately needs to be done.

Call Index 'Fraud' The study also says that the agency has used the MURC index (a register of air pollution) as a device to placate the public, although it admits that the index is "essentially a fraud." In addition, the study charges that the agency has "failed to cooperate fully with private attorneys in the Detroit area who are litigating cases involving air pollution." - (UPI) A representative of consumer advocate Ralph Nader, in Montreal to investigate charges of excessive pollution from a plant of Union Carbide of Canada, has charged that the firm regarded Canada as a "pollution haven" where it could avoid strict American pollution standards. Larry Silverman, an attorney who works for Nader, arrived in nearby Beauharnois on April 26 at the request of Ken Webb, a student at Sir George Williams University. Silverman scoffed at Union Changes Urged n New Jersey TENTON (UPI) A private study commissioned by the state administrative office of the courts has recommended that New Jersey's 523 Municipal courts be scrapped and replaced with a e system. A criminal division of the present county district courts has been proposed, with judges sitting, on a circuit basis, in those communities where business warrants. Attempts to scuttle the municipal court system have failed in the past because legislators do not want to yield their power over local appart-tim- e state-support- ed full-tim- pointments. The study, financed in part by the U.S. transportation department's National Highway Safety Bureau, was prepared by Synectics, a firm.

The proposed system would cost $14.7 million, which includes $3.3 million for judges' salaries and $8.6 million for the cost of supporting personnel. Municipalities paid $6.5 million for municipal courts in 1969, the study showed. To implement the new system, the legislature would have to approve legislation, and the governor would have to sign the bill. Carbide plans to replace filters for silica dust discharged into the air, saying, "the Union Carbide plants in the United States are being required to control (pollution) by 99 per cent. Here they're talking in terms of 85 per cent" A spokesman for Union Carbide of Canada said the factory had plans to replace dust collection systems to reduce pollution over the next four years. "Our problem is that there is no standard," he said. "I really resent people like Nader or anyone else coming into Canada to tell us what to do in Canada." UAW President Backs Pension By Andrew R?rne, Jr. A federal BILOX1, MISS k UPI) court has ordered Mississippi not to - implement a controversial new election law attacked by civil rights leaders as an attempt to reduce the chance of Negro political candiates. The injunction against the state's novel "open primary" law was issued by a three-judg- e federal panel cn grounds the act had not been properly handled by U.S. Attorney General John N. Mitchell. The "open primary" law, approved by the 1970 legislature, was submitted last year to Mitchell's office. At the end of 60 days, the attorney general notified the state it had "carefully examined" the act but found no conclusive evidence to warrant an outright rejection. "The fact is that we have been unable to reach a decision within the alloted time (60 days) on the basis of available evidence," the attorney general's office said. The state could still attempt to salvage the law by seeking the approval of either Mitchell or the federal District Court in the District of Columbia. But this would require more time and could leave the status of this year's gubernatorial and other state elections in jeopardy. Mississippi Attorney General A. F. Summer said a decision would be made in a few days on what course the state may take in view of the unexpected decision. But he expressed "serious doubts" whether it would be pose it I e to obtain federal approval of the law in time to implement it this year. The judges declined to rule on the actual validity of the unusual law, maintaining they lacked jurisdiction in the case. But they enjoined the state from putting it into effect "unless or until" the required federal approval is given.

"Widespread layoffs and permanent dislocations from jobs are affecting pension rights as well as means immediate livelihood for tens of thousands of workers in key sectors of our economy," Woodcock told a House labor subcommittee hearing. The panel is considering a bill introduced by its chairman, Rep. John Dent, that would federal for such insurance, provide make funding by employers compulsory and give workers "vested rights" so that they could carry over pensions due them from one job to D-P- a., another. The subcommittee also heard Sen. Jacob K. Javits, testify in favor of his own pension bill which, among other things, would give workers a 10 per cent vested interest in a pension plan after six years on the job and climbing to 100 per cent after 16 years. Dent's bill would give no vested interest for the first 10 years, but after that time there would be a full 100 per cent interest. majority. Alex Waites, director of the Mississippi chapter of the NAACP, said in Jackson the open primary would have meant that since all black and white candidates would compete in the first election without party designation. He said this would result in a "one-sho- t rather than a three-sho- t opportunity" for blacks because they would not be allowed to compete as Democrats, Republicans or as independents under the setup. Under the old system of party primaries, which now goes back into effect, a minority candidate could be elected with a plurality. The primaries are held in August followed by the general election in November. R-N.- The DAILY RECORD Subscribe Today' 1 Telephone 487-065- |
