Augu , 1.97 I Tuesday, August 11, 1970 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Congresswoman hits new 'poverty' industry By The Associated Press PRESIDENT NIXON signed yesterday a bill extending un- employment insurance coverage to 4.7 million more workers. Nixon said the bill will cushion the move from a wartime econ- omy to a peacetime economy. Now covered for the first time are workers in firms with one or more employes - the old test was four or more - additional agri- cultural processing workers, employes of nonprofit organizations, state hospitals, colleges and universities, including professors, and county and municipal institutions, as well as some Americans work- ing abroad. The bill brings to 63.5 million the total number of workers cov- ered, and provides extra benefits when unemployment levels are high. * * * SENATE BACKERS of a bid to restrain the Safeguard anti- missile system said yesterday they see the omens of victory - a 41 victory opponents say would kill efforts to negotiate arms limi- tations with the Soviet Union. Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield of Montana told news- men that while the race is still close, he believes the balance has shifted to supporters of an amendment to hold Safeguard to the two sites approved last year. And Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky.) told a radio audience that if the restrictive amendment he is sponsoring with Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich.) passes, it will do so by two or three votes. An Associated Press survey taken late last week showed 50 sena- tors either committed to or leaning toward a vote for the Cooper-Hart amendment. Only 99 senators are expected at the balloting on the amendment, now set for 3:30 p.m. EDT tomorrow. * * * IEAVILY GUARDED MUNITIONS TRAINS rolled out. of Richmond, Ky. and Anniston, Ala. yesterday taking 418 con- crete and steel jacketed vaults of obsolete nerve gas rockets to- ward a burial at sea. The Anniston train - its mechanical gas leak detectors backed up by pigeons and rabbits - was loaded with 305 vaults as it left a remote siding at a military depot near Anniston. Army chemical experts made a last-minute inspection of the train and a spokesman said "There are no leaks. It is about as dan- gerous as a load of coal -- maybe less." WASHINGTON (4P) - Rep. .Edith Green has charged bil- lions of tax dollars intended for school children and the poor are being diverted to private re- search companies more inter- ested in profits than results. Much of the money goes to private $100-a-day consultants --including ,many former fed- eral officials--who make stu- dies which few people read and fewer heed, says the Oregon Democrat. In the last five years, Mrs, Green told a news briefing last week, t h e industrial-poverty complex has become a major growth industry. "Our most enduring monu- ment to poverty has been the creation of a 'poverty' industry" which, Mrs. Green said, works against the abolition of poverty. if poverty were eliminated she reasoned, so would be the lucra- tive jobs of experts studying it. Mrs. Green, the leading Dem- ocrat on the House Eduration and Labor Committee, said she is investigating the practice of hiring consultants from the ranks of former high-level of- ficials of the Office of Economic Opportunity and the Office of Education. "Contracts have been given with outrageous conflict of in- terest," she declared, comparing the education-poverty consulting field with defense industries which hire retired military of- ficers for ranking positions. And she ranked the threat of the industrial-education-poverty complex with that of the mill- tary-indusrial complex which the late President Dwight Eisen- hower warned of as he left of- fice. "If I had my way I would end all of the contracts with profit- making institutions," Mrs. Green said, because profit more often is the goal rather than solutions to the problem being studied. "With the tremendous task ahead in solving poverty, billions are being siphoned off to profit- making companies-and I ques- tion the results," she said. She suggested universities and non-profit educational intitutes could do much of the research now farmed out by OEO and the Office of Education to private consultants. Mrs. Green said her investiga- tion shows the federal agencies often do not know how many contracts they have out, to whom they are assigned, what the subjects are, or whether they duplicate others.

(Closed Sunday, August 16) ~U familiar with most of the material he did so I don't know how much he wrote him- self but wherever they came from he sang some fanstastic lyrics. Next came another unscheduled act, that of Pee Wee Russell. He took several songs usually identified with the rhythm and blues and adapted them to a blues style. The result was interesting and unique. The evening was wrapped up by the best, set of the weekend, The Soul of the Man, Bobby Blue Bland. First let me say that Bobby Bland won me over by simply se- lecting some of my personal favorite blues songs like "St. James Infirmary," "Save Your Love for Me," "Lovelight," "Ain't NothiA' You Can Do" and others. THE SUNDAY afternoon concert started in the same traditional country mood as did Saturday's. First there was John Jack- son whose style mixes "black" blues with elements of white country music, the com- bination makes for nice, easy-to-take music. The next two performers, Papa Light- foot and Little Brother Montgomery con- tinued in the same basic mood. Then Carey Bell began the shift to more urban blues with his set. Bell was followed by the out- standing set of the afternoon as Buddy Text by Alan Douglas Photos by Sara Krulwich Guy and his band backed up an unsched- uled appearance by Junior Wells. Wells was in what I will call rare good spirits and he put on one hell of a show. ,LANCE LIPSCOMB opened the final T1concert. The breadth of the influences acting on his music was demonstrated by his singing of "Rock Me" in three distinct forms; two different traditional versions and a more modern version. The next-to-last act was Big Mama Thornton. She was a tremendous hit at last year's festival and reached even great- er heights this year. She did her most famous songs ("Ball and Chain," "Houn- dog," "Lucky Old Sun") and got roars of appreciation from her audience. Her little back-up band was incredible, especially her truly crazed bassist. And then, finally, the weekend ended at the beginr yng, the beginning being Sun House. When he first walked on stage I sensed the infinite age man. When he spoke of his family, his background and of the Bible it was with the voice of some- one just barely this side of the grave, But when he finally began to play it was with the energy and rhythm °of a pile driver. When he sang, he sang with a power and intensity unapproached by any- one else of any age. There was an urgency in this man's voice that literally left me gasping. Sun House sang more blues in thirty minutes than everygone else appear- ing last weekend will sing in their com- bined lifetimes.
