A directive from the Department of Health, and Welfare Education states that if an institution has enrolled any students who, as individuals, receive federal financial aid, then itself is the institution considered to be a recipient of government funds and thus required to comply the with hundreds of regulations and edicts which H.E.W. now' imposes on traditionally referred to as boy that they have been instrumental, along with the unisex nuts, in forcing the Boy Scouts of America to name to its change government supported F Scouting-U.S.- A.

At that time representatives and senators had a combined staff of 4,500 people, and a budget of 42 million. Now they have 6,000 aides and assistants and clerks at a cost of $414 million. Which means theyre doing four times as much work and need nine times as much as 1952 their money counterparts. Right? 1 -- Spotlight COMPULSORY COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IN- CREASES PUBLIC SECTOR STRIKES Vienna, Va. Compulsory collective bargaining in the public sector causes an increase in strikes, actc cording to a study conducted by the Public Service Research Council. This finding is contrary to the generally accepted theory that the institution of compulsory collective bargaining in the public sector David reduces strike activity, Denholm, Executive Vice President of the Public Service Research Council, said. The report contains the first analysis of laws and strikes, considers the relationship between the passage of compulsory public sector bargaining legislation and public strike activity, and presents some examples of the impact of strikes upon a community. In no state did passage of a state-by-sta- state-by-sta- tc compulsory public sector bargaining law result in an overall decrease in public sector strike activity. according to the study. Also, the average number of strikes per state per year in the bargaining public sectors of employment is less than in the compulsory bargaining sector. ry A Stand U.S. SUPREME COURT SLOWS METRO Copyright Jo Hindman 1977 Metro Sews is indebted to the Star ( Millington, Memph Tenn.) the first newspaper to print the following news, not ypt widely known, about the March 9 decision of the United States Supreme Court in Town of Lock port. S. Y. v. Citizens for Community Action at the Local Level, Inc. from its own Reporting circulation area 3 31 '77 where a fight continues against the consolidation of Memphis and Shelby County, the Star said. The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision this month based on a New York towns attempt to consolidate governments on the basis of a simple majority of the total vote of each unit of government. A citizen group in Lockport. N.Y. appealed to the United States Supreme Court from a district court which had ruled Section IX of the New York state constitution as being in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by requiring separate vote majorities, e.g. city votes and non-cit- y (outside the city) in consolidation tries. The Supreme Court reversed the lower court, ruled in favor of the citizens and the constitutions. So more vote lumping. There must be two majorities, one from the county, another from the city to claim victory. The syllabus (not the opinion of the court verbatim) explained: The separate voter approval requirements are based on the perception that the real and longterm impact of a restructuring of local government is felt quite differently, by the differentially affected, by the restructuring of county government, which may make the provider of public services more remote and less subject to the voters individual inthese differing fluence. and voters interests of city and non-cit- y in the adoption of a new county charter arc sufficient under the equal protection clause to justify the classifications under the law. The syllabus (hcadnote) is issued on decisions of major importance and constitutes no part of 15-ye- ar oooooooooooooooo EXPOSE YOUR the opinion of the Court, being prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of readers. Currently the metrocrats have converged on Salt Lake City. Utah, for another disincorporation try to submerge cities under a regional setup. The 54th annual convention of the Utah Assn, of Counties, an 3 3s of syndicate adjunct of Counties National Assn, (NACo) served as a launch pad for renewed effort to consolidate Salt 1 Lake or 197X. federal arm of the prometro syndicate, the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (AC1R) sent Wayne Anderson, staff director from Wash.. D.C. to lend support to Dan C. Lynch. NACOs president from Omaha who presided over the Anderson drew his conclave. remarks about regionalizing from The AClRs Local Government Modernization Vol. 2 publication No. 3 of a series on which another federal agency HUD (Housing & Urban Development) chipped in to pay the publication costs. As for ACIR. it is dominated by the 1313 sy nd icate including the Council of State Governments (CSG) to which Utah's legislature pays membership dues to let the metro propaganda flood into M-9- Utah. proDespite the metro pressure coming in. Salt Lake voters in 1975 defeated a merger by the onermajoritv method w hich lumps and combines the scores taken from the two voting categories, city and county. The metro movement has received a major setback from the out-of-sta- vote separate te decision. Retooling faces the metrocrats, not only in Utah but everywhere in the United States where the metro plague is raging. It is unlikely that the consolidation merger drive in Utah could succeed in 1977. 1978, or perhaps at any time due to the landmark ruling.
