WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006
Memorandum To: Chairmen and Executive Directors of Local
Urban Coalitions .
Subject: HEW and OEO Appropriations for Fiscal Year 1969
Several days ago local coalitions were asked to urge their
congressmen to support a strong Housing and Urban Development
Act, and any coalitions responded vigorously. The Act has been
passed by the Senate and House and conferees are working out the
differences.
é
We now call your attention to another important measure
which is vital to the well-being of urban communities -- the
Appropriations Bill for the Department of Health, Education and
Welfare and the Office of Economic Opportunity.
The House of Representatives refused to appropriate funds at
levels considered minimal by the Administration in the fields of
education and poverty. A memorandum summarizing programs of highest
priority and budget request reductions is enclosed for your infor-
mation. Also enclosed is a list of cities affected by the House's
reductions in Title I, ESEA. wt
The House also cut substantially requests for funds for
Maternity and Infant Care projects, Child Welfare Demonstration
Projects, and Maternal and Child Health Research Centers.
The Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, HEW and
Related Agencies is considering the appropriations measure this
week, and it is expected to be before the full Senate Appropriations
Committee on July 23. Senate action is expected late next week or
early in the week of July 29.
: Local coalition members are urged to ask their sendtors to
support: full funding of these measures. It would be particularly
helpful if Appropriations Committee members were contacted, and
the list of members is enclosed.

1619 H STREET, N. Ww.
WASHINGTON, D, C, 20006
July 26, 1968
WEEKLY LEGISLATIVE REPORT
(Current as of July. 26, 1968)
FROM: THE STAFF
THE STATUS OF SUBSTANTIVE LEGISLATION
The Emergency Employment and Training Act of 1968 (Public
Service Employment)
The measure has not been reported by the Senate Labor and
Public Welfare Committee.
The extension of the Manpower Development and Training Act
has been ordered reported by the Committee, and action on
the measure has been delayed. Majority Leader Mansfield
has indicated he will call it up in September. When the
bill is considered by the full Senate, a bipartisan coalition
comprised of Senators Clark, Javits and Prouty will attempt
to amend it by adding the Emergency Employment Act to it.
The House Select Subcommittee still has no plans to mark
up the JOBS bill.
‘The MDTA extension has received a rule by the House Rules
Committee clearing it for floor action, but it is unlikely
to be acted on until Congress returns after the political
conventions.
The House bill contains an amendment by Congressman Goodell
which would disallow the reallocation of MDTA funds by the
Department of Labor until the end of every fiscal year.
The Department presently can reallocate at the end of six
months. This could severely handicap those states which
have substantial manpower programs.

Just call collect for an argum ent.
The Cool Hot Line
The hot-line show is one of the most
discredited forms of radio programming. What could be more µnedifying
than know-nothing listeners phoning in
their philosophies to know-it-all ex-disk
jockeys? But this summer the United
Methodist C hurch is making judicious
use of the format. It is sponsoring a
radio dialogue between the races that
is more compelling than any heard on
the sudden multitude of such talk shows,
including those produced on TV.
T he name of the program is Night
Call, and it is carried live (11 :30 p.m.12:3 0 a.m ., E .D.T.) five evenings a week
on an ad hoc chain that has grown
from 21 to 57 radio stations in less
than three months. Listeners anywhere
may phone collect (Area Code 2 12: 74933 11) and argue racial issues with an influential national figure who is guest of
the night, say James Baldwin, the Rev.
R alph Abernathy, Muhammad Ali, Sargent Shriver or A rthur Miller.
The most provocative visitor so farjudging by the number of callers totted
up by the phone company-was Stokely Carmichael, who was dialed by
64,440 Americans. In custo mary form ,
Carmichael told one listener who wondered about the impact of nonviolence
on whites, "You should ask Martin Luther King that question. " A wh ite guest
who stirred a big switchboard jam was
New York's Mayor John Lindsay.
Quizzed on the wa r in Viet N am, Lindsay replied ·that it was " unprod uctive.
unwanted , end less, bottomless, sideless,
and its cost is unquestionably affecting
the problems in our cities." Another
night, White Radica l Saul Alinsky, in
sympathy with black callers, blasted the
Job Corps as a "payoff to stay quiet'·
and categori zed m uch of the rest oi
the poverty program as ·'a public relatiops gimmick."
Ranting Nuts. Thanks to a specially
built phone link-up system, the program's guest generally participates as
the listeners do-by long-distance from
his home. A Manhattan staffer receives
calls on three phones, screening out
·'the drunks and ranting nuts." T he
twelve or J 5 most pertinent questions
are put th rough to the show's moderato r, Del Shields. In case the conversation gets li belous or licentious, Shields
can push a cut-off button, but he has
not yet had to use it. T hough the discussion is freq uently fiery, about the
roughest language used to date was
Rap Brown's dismissal of civil rights legislation as "intellectual masturbation."
Shields, who is a radio veteran and
militant black, got into the debate himself once when he felt that a Negro caller was unfairly attacking Guest Jackie
Robi nson for Uncle Tomism. Often,
Moderator Shields, who hits fungoes
to the guest for ten or 15 minutes before turning him over to the phone-in
aud ience, is the toughest interrogator
of the night. Roy Innis, director of
CO RE, should know what is in store for
him next month. Shields plans to as~
him " Has CORE gone Tom?"

QUOTES FROM THE NIGHT CALL MAIL BAG
"I enjoy listening to your new program ... My only suggestion
is NOT TO DISCONTINUE ... "
St. Paul, Minnesota
"More power to you, Del, and to all who make Night Call
possible.
I'm a summer visitor listening to you in
Collegeville, but l hope to be able to hear you at home
in Bismarck, North Dakota, a town that really needs
, open
discussion and a remedy for latent racism." Collegeville, Minn.
We are regular listeners (and callers, when we can throu gh
your busy lines) ... and commend you and its sponsors for an
excellent program."
The writers suggested guests from the
National Alliance of Businessmen and the movie industry on
"the incredibly poor and potentially dangerous movies that
appear in every movie house all over the nation." San Dieg o
" ... thank you ... for, the most interesting prog ram it has ever
been my privilege to listen to over the radio in these recent
years ... Our only problem down here is that we hear the program
over WFLA in Tampa (and Night Call gets pre-empted for baseball)
... last week we lucked out and only missed one program ...
Good luck to you all, perhaps all the baseball games will be
'rained out."
Tampa, Florida
"This is to- let you know we are listening... It's important
information, not only educational, but providing important
insights and inquiries into issues that are vit al to the
sani ty and success of this nation."
Seattle, Washingt on
"Please -- can 't we h a v e s ome moderation or sense o f politica l
b a l ance -- perhaps only pure coincidence, but the programs I
have listened to seem to be purely 'libera l' and left-wing
in the nature of the guests and topics.
I am tired o f the
Carmichaels, the Raps a nd the racial divisionists -- there
are still white p e ople with problems, too:" Chagrin Falls, Ohio
"I hope you have H. Rap Brown on again some night.
It is somewhat of a perverse pleasure to hear a grown man figuratively
cry and so distort the facts as to make a jack-ass of himself.
Thank you."
Toledo, Ohio
"I am very sorry for Mr. Carmichael and his feeling of hatred ...
I think I heard you say you are black.
I too am black and
proud of it, but Mr. Carmichael will be surprised to know how
many thousands of blacks disagree with him and will never join
a revolution. Think of the victories won by violence. Where
are they?" New York
�"Nice going on a great program. Now the problem is to get
everybody listening to it. I will do my selling bit down
here." Winston-Salem, North Carolina
"First I must apologize for hanging up abruptly in my exchange
with Mr. Steven Ledogar. The fact is I was so caught up in the
issue and so angry at Mr. Ledogar that I wanted to conclude our
communication ... my hanging up in such a manner was, obviously
indefensible.
I am somewhat surprised, myself, at this action
... What he is repeating ... is utterly, cynically untrue.
(administration position on Vietnam).
"I believe we are in a
period of continuing and perhaps periodically escalating crises.
I believe that, ultimately, only self-knowledge, introspection,
will halt this process. NIGHT CALL is playing an extremely
important role in this end. ':'
Cleveland, Ohio
"I like the way you conduct your NIGHT CALL.
So many of the
moderators do all of the talking. Since you put this Cleveland
"pest" ... on last night, I am sure you are going to be bothered
with this old John Bircher. Keep up the quality that you have
now."
Cleveland, Ohio
Excerpts of a letter to Dr. A. W. Criswell, Southern Baptist
Convention: "I have just heard you 1n on NIGHT CALL.
I feel
like crying and crying. You have not begun to understand the
problem ... ! call myself a Baptist and profess to be a Chris tian
.. . as I understand my Baptist training, we need not progress
but repent ..• Don't tell the black that time caused the problem
and time will cure it. Time didn't cause it -- White Baptists
(and others, · but the number game must fault the Baptist) caused
it ••• "
Minneapolis, Minnesota
NEW STATIONS
The week of September 2, we are please to be adding a number of
stations to the NIGHT CALL network. These include:
KUT(FM)
WINA
WGH
WTVR
WAYB

issue and so angry at Mr. Ledogar that I wanted to conclude our
communication...my hanging up in such a manner was, obviously
indefensible. I am somewhat surprised, myself, at this action
...-What he is repeating...is utterly, cynically untrue.
(administration position on Vietnam). "I believe we are ina
period of continuing and perhaps periodically escalating crises.
I believe that, ultimately, only self-knowledge, introspection,
will halt this process. NIGHT CALL is playing an extremely
important role in this end." Cleveland, Ohio
"I like the way you conduct your NIGHT CALL. So many of the
moderators do all of the talking. Since you put this Cleveland
"pest™"...on last night, I am sure you are going to be bothered
with this old John Bircher. Keep up the quality that you have
now." Cleveland, Ohio
Excerpts of a letter to Dr. A. W. Criswell, Southern Baptist
Convention: "I have just heard you in on NIGHT CALL. I feel
like crying and crying. You have not begun to understand the
problem...I call myself a Baptist and profess to be a Christian
-».as I understand my Baptist training, we need not progress
but repent...Don't tell the black that time caused the problem
and time will cure it. Time didn't cause it -- White Baptists
(and others, but the number game must fault the Baptist) caused
