In announcing 88 new projects for the war on poverty Sunday, President Lyndon B. Johnson lauded Dupree for taking in the men rent-free at his hotel. Johnson's announcement included authorization of a grant for a depressed area near Ypsilanti. Poverty Prog A grant of $188,252 to help de- velop a depressed arear near Ypsi- lanti is included in President Lyn- 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.

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. By The Associated Press 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- GRP VFW Hall F R IDA' 9-12 P.M. One Dollar Donation ,d)MIXER 314 E. Liberty Y, JANUARY 22 Stag or Drag1 Refreshments 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.

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. * * * * MEXICO CITY-A strike of doctors and nurses spread in Mexico yesterday despite a government ultimatum saying it will not negotiate until the "illegal wvalk-K___________________ I/ RN G.t I1 Presented by Dep't of Near Eastern Languages and' B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation and Beth Israel Congregation, co-sponsors.
