The group, which included representatives of the New York OvU Liberties Union and Amer- ican Jewish Congress, as well as parent and teacher groups, promised a fight to the U.S. Su- preme Court against., such, allo- cations under the 1965 Educa- tion Act. At a news conference, the plaintiffs said most boards of education across the country are \giving out as little in- formation as possible\ on how much money is going to paro- chial schools. But they estimated the figure is at least $150 million, some 15 to $7 million in New York City alone. The iederai caurU*uit ttarae* as defendants US. Commission- er of Education Harold Howe II and Secretary of Health Educa- tion and Welfare John W. Ga r d- ner. The suit filed in State Su- preme Court, on the same con- stitutional grounds, names May- or John V. Lindsay, the Board of Education, Comptroller Mario Procaccino, and State Commissioner of Education James E. Allen Jr. Both suits seek injunctions against an\ further federal spending on parochio 1 schools pending a decision on the consti- tutional issue. The soils charge the use of federal funds violate the first amendment to the eortstttatkm- by: •Contributing t a x-raised funds to the support of institu- tions which teach the tenets of a church. . . \Financing of religious groups and governmental action whose purpose and primary ef- fect is to advance religion. . . ** Preventing \free exercise of religion on the part of the plain- tiff and the class they repre- sent by reason of the fact that they constitute compulsory taxation for religious purposes /' The federal suit asks for a declaration by a speciaJ three- judge court either that such spehffihg is not intended by the 1985 act or that the act itself is **to that extent unconstitutional A provision for funds for after hours teaching and guidance, available to school boards only if private as well as public school children benefit, could mean future substantial outlays to finance the teaching of read- ing, arithmetic, music and art in paf&cltfai schools, the plain- tiffs charged. At the news conference, the plaintiffs said that public schools are actually being dis- criminated against in the spe- cial federal programs and that in New York the amount going to parochial schools is worked wt ~otrtheh basis of pressured Public school teachers and guidance counsellors are being flggqgl^to^ jgrochial schools here, they saldTwHRtBere tr* shortage of such personnel in public school. The New York City board, they charged, has set up a spe- cial math program in parochial schools, but refused to start a similar program in public schools. Joining the Civil Liberties Union and American Jewish Con- gress in theh suit are the United Parents Association and the AFL-CiO United Federation of Teachers. The parents group is a citywide organization made up of 450 parents* groups with a mwriitfiyMp of Associations.

Rockefeller won't appoint the last four trustees for a Com- munity College in Clinton County until the board of supen'isors decides whether or no*, it wants the college. According to Mark Rabin, one of five trustees appointed by the board, there are severai steps the supervisors must\ follow: The supervisors must pass the resolution deciding whether or not they want the college. This decision may or may not be brought to a referendum vote. 2. The supervisors must then appoint five members to a board of trustees for the proposed com- munity college. This the super- visors have already done. The trustees have been charg- ed with doing a easibiiity stud) to determine whether or not a community college should be established. 3. Next, the program goes to .Albany for state approval, fol- lowing which the governor ap- points the last four members to the board of trustees. Since the board of supervisors has no: approved the proposition to build the community college. the governor has ix*en unable to make the last four appointments. These facts were brought out during a _ meeting of the Cotrnci! of Community Services during which James McVean, president of Jefferson Community Coiiege spoke on the background and history of that college. Representing the Board of Sup- en'isors at the meeting were Donald Breyette. Dannemora; Harold Relation. Chazy: and Robert Bruno. Schuyler Falls. .Ail are on the supen'isors' com- mittee studying the community college issue. When this list of facts was brought out during a question and answer period. Relation said the supervisors had no prior knowledge of it. His comment was that \this is news to us.\ rfe glanced at the other two sup- ervisors present and they a- greed. William F Lawrence, another trustee, said \\we 'trustees 1 will carry out our charge and con- duct we feasibility study, but until the board passes the res- olution to go ahead with the col- lege plan the governor won't ap- point the rest of the trustees \But we weren't informed/' Relation said. \Its not the responsibility of the trustees to make the de- cision of whether we have a community coiiege or not/' Lawrence emphasized. 4, But the five trustees should have passed this information on to the Board of Supervisors.\ Bruno said. \The trustees have ihe money, though, to make the DeGaulle bids Europe, USSR unite PARIS TAP) — President Charles de Gaulle made a plea Thursday night for a united Eu- rope to include the Soviet Union. He posed the question of wheth- er there would now be a war in Viet Nam if Europe had been united. De Gaulle spoke at a flitter- ing state dinner at the Ely see Palace in honor of Soviet Pre- mier Alexei N. Kosygin. who arrived Thursday morning for a nine-day state visit. Kosygin was received with honors usual- ly reserved for a chief of state, and special attention not usually shown to a chief of government. The French president de- clared in his toast at the dinner that, \The Soviet Cmon and the French Republic are resolved to realize and to organize, in all -fiehfar-the cooperation of tte two countries.\ In his reply, Kosygin said that French-Soviet relations are much closer than two years ago. He said he agreed with much of what De Gaulle said, but he made no reference to closer So- viet ttes with eastern Europe At a time when he is trying to reduce United State- influence technical information, literary in Europe. De Gaulle renewed his call for a grand de>u;r. for a united Europe that would ex- tend from the Atlantic to the Urals.\ De Gaulle sa.d that on a prac- tical scale, this could be accom- plished first by widened ex- changes of trade, scientific and and artistic output, students and touris LS . \But. if it is true that Ru>s .u and France have today, as in other times, particular reasons to keep dose or*e to the other, it is also that our Europe is a whole in spite of being torn apart/' Montreal puts off banning Bonanno MONTREAL ' A?,—Canadian immigration officials delayed deportation Thursda; tore Bonanno. son Mafia rarketper Canada Viscount for Kennedy .Airport, New York.

We've set aside $40,000 for that purpose.\ Using the Jefferson County Community College as a ca:>e history. McVean made several points concerning the Water- town college: Jefferson Community College has curriculums which are both terminal and transferable. This means that some of the courses of study directly pre- pare a student for a job while others prepare the student for enrollment in a larger college to winch he transfers. Powell threatens leusnian MIAMI, Fla. f API ~ The Mi- ami News said Thursday that Rep. Adam Clayton Powell threatened a Life magazine pho- tographer with a shotgun on Bimini Island in the Bahamas. The newspaper said Life would have a picture in its next issue, taken by photographer Lynn Peiham, showing Poweli with a shotgun in his hands. Peiham. a former Miami News photographer, was sent to Bimini with instructions to stay close to Powell. The Harlem Negro congressman makes fre- quent trips to Bimini. 50 miles off the Florida coast, and re- portedly has real estate hold- ings there. The News said Powell, hold- ing the shotgun, told Peinam: \If you step on my property. I'll kill you.\ Peiham then took the picture. Weather I Much colder Windy and turning much flurries and locally heavy snow squalls. Temperatures in the teens rising little if any. Continued cold with variable cloudiness and soow flurries tonight and Saturday. Winds, west to northwest 15 to 25 and gusty. It's best to build the whole campus at once, but this isn't always possible. He pointed out that at least three fourths of all community colleges in New York State started in abandoned buildings, gradually expanding to new ones as they | were built. Securing faculty will usually ; present a problem. McVean • said we raided 40 .percent ol our faculty from other places by paying a little more. About ¥) percent of these came from | secondary schools.\ • * • Each student body will be a .heterogenous group. \Although ! you will have all kinds of stu- | dents, you must expect that you are not in business just to educate the elite oL young • minds/' Community colleges often of- fer the only chance a student ihas to go on for further edu- ' cation. Costs will vary considerably ' from year to year according to size of enrollment, actual edu- j : cation costs and building main- • tenance costs. Supervisor Breyette said af- terward that the board was convinced of the need for a community college in Clint or. County but the main problem was the cost. * We don't know ; where we'li get the money.\ * TROUBLE AT MUNICIPAL AIRPORT-The floor has sunk in a comer of the administra- tion building, as manager John Haley indi- cates Thursday. The building's doors won't close any more because casings are worn out, according to Airport Commission chair- man William Frandino. Frandino objected when Common Council slashed bis 1967 budget request by more than $20,0d0. There isa't enough money to get repair jebs done, Fran- dino complained.
