House of Reps to provide scholarships
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. House of Representatives
approved a plan to provide scholarships to attract students to
teaching and to give teachers time off to improve their work.
The scholarships would be named in honor of the late Rep. Carl
Perkins, D. Ky., who died of a heart attack last week. Under
the bill, up to 10,000 college students could get scholarship of
>5,000 a year, but would have to agree to teach two years for
each year they received assistance. In addition, about 1,000
teachers each year could receive fellowship for one-year
sabbaticals.

Tough child support bill OK’d
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The House unanimously passed a
landmark bill that will help millions of children by requiring
states to withhold wages if a parent refuses to pav child
support.
The Senate already has approved the measure, which
President Reagan is expected to sign later this month.
The bill requires states to withhold wages when parents fail to
make court-ordered child-support payments after 30 days.
Federal and state income tax refund checks also can be held
back to cover overdue payments.
In addition, states will cooperate to ensure that payments
reach parents who live in different states.
“Delighted” with the bill’s passage, Health and Human
Services Secretary Margaret Heckler said: “It's time for
parents to take their responsibility seriously, and the law will
give us tools to make that happen.” Her department announced
a nationwide public information campaign to speed the law’s
enforcement.
Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn., said the Census Bureau estimated
children in one-parent homes are "cheated out of >4 billion a
year because of unpaid child support. It is far too easy today
for parents to escape this legal and moral responsibility.”
About 60 percent of all families with single parents get court-
ordered child support, government figures show. But less than
half of those families get the full amount due them.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - The NAACP will conduct its second
annual Black Dollar Day demonstration during labor Day week
to educate black consumers and to dramatize to the business
community the immense purchasing power of black consumers,
said NAACP Executive Director Benjamin L. Hooks.
The demonstration will be held from September 1 though 8
across the country. However, particular emphasis will be placed
on the following cities where blacks are concentrated in large
numbers: New York City, Washington, Baltimore, Richmond,
Va., Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Miami,
Jacksonville, Fla., Memphis, San Francisco, los Angeles, San
Diego, Houston-Beaumont, New Orleans, Atlanta and Cleveland.
During that week NAACP branches will urge blacks and their
supporters to spend >2 bills and Susan B. Anthony dollar coins
when making purchases.
Fred Rasheed, NAACP national Fair Share director will begin
meeting this month with local NAACP leaders to start planning
for the demonstration. He will be joined by L.R. Byrd, NAACP
Fair Share consultant.
The Black Dollar Day demonstration was initiated by Mr.
Hooks last year to demonstrate the NAACP’s determination to
open up more job and business opportunities for blacks.
Approximately >36 million were circulated during that
demonstration.

Nevertheless, according to Dr.

Carton's specific
recommendations for getting

The Internal Revenue Service
explains this by noting that
volunteers can deduct
“unreimbursed expenditures made

Translated, that means that a
volunteer may deduct out-of-

doing volunteer work for certain
groups approved by the Internal
Revenue Service.
Qualifying organizations include

WASHINGTON, D.C., - After months of silence, the Soviet
Union has reportedly sent signals that it will accord a high-level
welcome to former Democratic presidential candidate Rev. Jesse
Jackson if he decides to go ahead with plans for a visit.
Jackson said weeks ago he was interested in visiting the
Soviet Union to negotiate the release of dissident scientist
scientist Andrei Sakharov, and at that time the Soviets appeared
cool to the announcement. One Soviet journalist said on
American network televison that Jackson should stav and look
into human rights at home.
The report suggested that the Soviets may have had a change
of heart after Jackson’s appearances during the Democratic
primaries and him convention address, in which he criticized
American foreign policy and called for an era of peace

November.
The publication, authored by
Paul Carton, political consultant
and researcher with the Boston
firm of Marttila and Kiley, was
sponsored by the Joint Center for
Political Studies.
Carton’s book, which is based
on a case study of the Detroit,
Michigan city income tax
referendum in June 1981, outlines
specific techniques for getting out
the black vote. “Registration is
only one-half of the equation,”
says the foreword to the study.
“The other half is voter turnout
on election day.”
Specifically, Carton found that
face-to-face appeals by campaign
volunteers and community
leaders in Detroit’s black
precinct increased black voter
turnout dramatically. The most
impressive increases occurred in
precincts worked by party
volunteers, where the turnout was
4.1 percentage points higher than
in unworked black precincts.
