MARTIN LUTHER KING, winner of the 1964 Noble Peace Prize, led Negroes of Selma, Ala., in a
challenge to the segregationist policies long enforced in that Southern town. Negroes filed for
places in the line for voter registration and won the right to be served in previously "white" res-
taurants.

A grant of $188,252 to help de-

don B. Johnson's latest batch of!
projects to fight poverty in the
United States.
Johnson revealed 88 new proj -
ects for 33 states and Puerto Rico
in an announcement at his John-
son City ranch Sunday. The grant
for the Ypsilanti area was awarded
to Ann Arbor's Institute for La-
bor and Industrial Relations, a
joint organization of the Univer-
sity and Wayne State University.
The grant is to help the people

ployment in 1960, according to Hy-
man Gornbluh, who will serve as
a project director.
Kornbluh said that 12 persons
will be involved in the project. Its
aims will be to help the citizens
of the area achieve fuller employ-
ment, full-scale training programs
to obtain better jobs and a bet-
ter community life.
He said that one of the first
aims of the project will be to de-
termine the levels of unemploy-
ment and undertrained workers.
In the project proposal it sent to
the federal government, the In-
stitute proposed an attack on pov-
erty which would include educa-
tion programs to remecy deficien-
cies at all age levels; employment
programs to train people for exist-
ing jobs, to help create new jobs,
and to prepare them for jobs of
the future; and cultural programs
to help provide a framework of
social relations.
Since Congress last year author-
ized $784.2 million for Johnson's
anti-poverty program, the admin-
istration has approved nearly 400
projects in every state at a cost of
$221 million. Johnson has said he
will ask Congress to double anti-
poverty funds in the coming year.

NEW YORK - The strike of
municipal welfare workers drag-,
ged into its third week yesterday
as a 17-year-old labor law pro-
vided a major block to settlement.
In the welfare strike, the un-
ionsndemand increases in the
present wage scale ranging from
$5,150 to $7,190 for trained in-
vestigators, and a cut in their
caseload from 60 to 50.
The city administration, al-
though critical of the law, has
insisted that its provisions requir-
ing dismissal or stiff financial
penalties against strikers cannot
be ignored.
Strike leaders say that the lack
of any guarantee against penal-
ties sabotaged a plan for return
to work this week.
Both the Chamber of Commerce
and the Commerce and Industry
Association insist on the law's
strict enforcement.
Welfare Commissioner James R.
Dumpson has termed it an "im-
possible" impasse. He says his de-

partment can't hope to function'
normally without taking most
strikers back on their jobs, and
the workers balk at the penalties.
University students of the So-
cial Work School have revealed a
plan to exert their influence in
support of the welfare workers.
The students have formed a
committee to circulate a resolu-
tion calling on students and fac-
ulty of the School of Social Work
to support the principles of the
strike, urge New York public offi-
cials to accept the demands of the
striking welfare workers and ask
the Huron Valley Chapter of the
National Association of Social
Workers to express support of the
strike.
The students feel that the
strikers' demands for reduced
case loads and better pay and
wvorking conditions will make wel-
fare recipients less dependent on
the dole by giving social workers
a better chance to enable those
recipients to support themselves.
Replacing them in substantial
force was considered highly un-
feasible, since case workers must
be college graduates, many of
them long-time specialists in so-
ciology and counselling.

WASHINGTON-President Lyndon B. Johnson told Congressa
yesterday about powerful weapons which can be added to what he
said was'the strongest peacetime military strength in the nation's
history.
These include Polaris missiles with warheads twice the size of
present ones-and with eight times the killing wallop.
He wrote this into his message on "the state of our defenses,"
a forecast of programs to be spelled out in even greater detail in
the military budget scheduled for later this month.
That budget, he said, will propose a spending program in the
coming fiscal year of $49 billion-$2.3 billion less than fiscal 1964
year and $300 million less than is estimated for the current year.
