Federal

advised
WASHINGTON (R - A $2
million study released yester-
day urges more school con-
solidations and much heavier
federal and state spending to
equalize public education and
taxation.
The five-volume report by the
National Educational Finance Pro-
ject recommends that prqperty
taxes pay for only 10-15 per cent,
rather than the present 52 per
cent, of the nation's annual $40
billion school bill.
The study, funded by the U.S.
Office of Education and four
years in the making, comes in the
wake of a recent California court -
decision holding unconstitutional
the heavy reliance on property
taxation for public education.
In Michigan, Gov. William
Milliken and Atty. Gen. Frank
Kelley have requested the state
courts to rule on the- matter.
In lieu of local taxes, the re-
port recommends that the present
seven per cent federal spending
be boosted to 22 to 30 per cent,
with state governments making
up the difference.
Although states as a whole foot
41 per cent of the cost of schools,
the study noted that contributions
from individual states vary wide-
ly.
The report said school districts
wealthy with property can levy
modest taxes to finance their op-
erations, while poor districts must
tax their residents to the hijt and
still come up short.
"The time has come for Ameri-
cans to say: The number of dol-
lars spent on education should be
based on the educational needs of
k!the children rather than the
{ wealth of the school district," the
report said.
It recommends also consolida-
tion of 80 per cent of the 18,000
school districts that "do not have

vW WHEN FREAKS start descend-
ing in droves on the bord-
ers, the frontier guards put on the
clamps. They keep a pair of scis-
sors handy, but like John W. -
most rejected longhairs turn back.
To the Moroccans, it's the best
way to protect their fragile Mos-
lem nation from the degenerate
West.
"Long hair means you smoke
drugs," a douane at Ceuta told
me flatly. "Hippies are dirty, badly
dressed, and they don't work
Moroccans don't like them."
On the ferry from Algeciras to
Ceuta, five freaks from the States
are desperately borrowing bobby
pins, bundling their hair under
Spanish berets. "If I only knew
I would have brought a coat and
tie and a hairnet," says one. I
have already prepared for the bor-
der: a friend cuts my hair on the
docks of Algeciras. I hear applause
from a long line of taxis and see
the chauffeurs grinning. They've
seen this routine before.
Three of the kids got turned
back at the border, but a friendly
guard let them through 30 min-
utes later. "Don't try hair spray,'!
he advised one of them. "It won't
work."
TRADITIONAL MOROCCO is
actually absorbing the freaks with
scarcely a shudder. Moroccans
don't really consider drugs a major
problem. They've been smoking
them for hundreds of years and
besides, Moroccan youth don't
seem to be attracted. Drinking
wine is their taboo. "The problems
of drugs and the hippie life are
here in Morocco but not danger-
ous," says Ketanni. "The educa-
tion and fabric of life here pre-
vents that. The family is very
tight. The parents exercise strict
control over their children's up-
bringing and ideas. They don't let
them pass the night out of the
house. When they see their child
veering, they reform him. And
there's a very strong Moslem
j spirit: most of the young, even
If they don't practice the relig-
ion, still believe in its taboos. It's a
pervasive psychological atmos-
phere they can't escape."
Like their counterparts on Mad-
ison Avenue, Moroccan merchants
have found that specializing in
hippies provides a great source of
revenue. Ask the owners of Cafe
