Stephenson's proiosal was the result of a compromise agreement reached with Councitwoman Kathy Kozachenko (IIRP-Second Ward), who was previous- ly opposed to the millage because "not enough money was being allocated to social services," she said. IN THE EVENT that the proposed millage fails, city administrator Sylves- ter Murray has recommended: -cutting off funds to the Community Outreach Program; -reducing the number of city vehicles; -laying off 30 full-time employes; and -granting no salary increases to city employes. IF STEPHENSON'S suggestion is adopted, the number of city vehicles will be reduced even if the millage passes. It was originally estimated that cut- ting back on the number of vehicles used for city services w o ual d save $100,000, Although the exact figure is unknown, Murray now expects to save about only $20,000 from this proposed budget cat. Stephenson's suggestion met with no disapproval from council and was strong- ly supported by council members Carol Jones (D-Second Ward) and Robert Henry fR-Third Ward). "IT SHOULD be apparent that we (the Republicans) care about more than refuse collection, fire and police," said Henry. Although HRP support of the millage is not yet official, the party plans to hold a mass meeting Thursday night to vote on the matter. If HRP decides to support the one- time tax levy that would result in an additional $1 million in city revenue, council support of the Inillage will be ananimotts. 'M' 1.

The decision clears the way for pay- nsent of some $600,0W in back wages to victims of discrimination at three plants at Corning, N.Y. The ainmint due other workers at a Corning plant in Wells- boro, Pa., has not been computed. THE SEX discrimination case stem- med from Labor Department suits chal- lenging Corning's wage practices. The case reached the Supreme Court after the U.S. Circuit Court in New York ruled against Corning and the comparable court in Philadelphia ruled t the con- trary. The dispute involsed turning's effort during the 1920's to induce men to work as night inspectors because New York and Pennsylvania laws then prohibited women from working at night. After s t a t e laws changed, Corniig opened the higher-paying night jobs to women. A 1969 bargaining agreement did away with the separate base wage system for day and night work in the future bt maintained a separate "red circle" scale for workers hired before 1969. The system "served essentially to per- petuate the differential in base wages between day and night inspectors, and perpetuating discrimination against wo- men who continued to hold the bulk of the day inspectors' jobs," the court fouind. they arrived hours in advance for the opportunity to partake of the show's elixir - salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

This rift fuels a major controversy among 11 can- didates seeking three Board of Education seats in the June 10 city elections. FROM 1971 to 1973, then-School Superintendent Bruce McPherson instituted a wave of liberal reforms in- cluding open classrooms and decentralization of cur- riculum decision-making. Since then conservative board members have charged that these changes created academic 'confusion" in the secondary schools. Some board members advocate a return to more cen- trally controlled curriculum, citing a recent University study which contended the city's schools lacked aca- demic uniformity. PRESENT SUPERINTENDENT Harry Howard's pro- posed 1.3 mill property tax increase on the June 10 ballot has been earmarked for hiring a "curriculum .oordinator" to help standardize academic programs between junior and senior high schools. The millage proposal also allocates funds for a full- time "attendence counselor," maintenance expenses and inflation, Republican-backed conservatives Wendy Barhydt, Stanley Bielby and Peter Wright all back the millage increase and strongly support tighter controls over curriculum. WRIGHT CONTENDS that curriculum coordination could "bring some structure, objectives and rationale back to the schools." "There is some merit to decentralization," he ad- mits, "but you can't have a school that's an island unto itself. You get 12 years of education and then you have to go out into the world and compete. We owe the graduating senior the education he is capable of absorbing." Moderate board candidates E. Stevens Binder, Wil liam Cash and Manfred Schmidt support the millage proposal "with reservations.," CASH SAYS he sees no need for a coordinator, ;ommenting, "Schools shouldn't be top-heavy with administrative types." However, he backs the mill levy under the condition that it must "augment the school system's delivery of services to the community." Schmidt says that he hopes the coordinators "allow for flexibility and avoid a 'lock-step' curriculum." Liberal school board candidates Tanya Israel and Will Simpson, backed by a loose coalition of Democrats mown as the "liberal caucus," both support the mill evy with "reluctance." BOTH ARE cool to the curriculum coordinator and :he attendance counseler proposals. However, "There are some items we need quite severely," Simpson ex- plains, "I fear the school system will suffer unless the levy passes," he says. The most conservative and the most radical hopefuls are the only candidates to indicate their disapproval of the millage proposal.
