PAGE 8 — The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, April 4, 1968 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) injustice. “Recommendations” have a way of turning into “guide lines” which gradually evolve into “directives.” When federal aid to common schools was first proposed some citizens wondered if this might be a prelude to federal control. The big-government “liberals” hooted at this fear. All the government wanted to do, they assured citizens, was to help local school boards im prove their product. Coercion was farthest from its mind. Yet last month the Tulsa Board of Education received a mysterious warning from the U. S. Commissioner of Educa tion that it had better get with it, or face the loss of $5 million in federal funds next fall. The trouble was, the “it” wasn’t defined. Pressed for an explanation the Commissioner’s office admitted to The Tribune that it was really a form letter, more than 100 of which had been sent out over his signa ture, and that he had no per sonal knowledge of any dere liction by the Tulsa school ad ministration. The administrative depart ments of the federal govern ment have a proper function in seeing that the laws passed by Congress are obeyed and that administrative functions dele gated to these departments by congressional action are made effective. But, more and more, we are seeing these gigantic bureau cracies attempting to write their own law and to accomp lish by ukase and threat any program that takes the fancy of the administrators. Down this road tyranny lies. And citizens will have two choices— either to take it, or to express their dissatisfaction at the ballot box. RETURNS HOME Mrs. C. A.
