3-1-71 8 SCHOOLS US. Education Commissioner Marland said that $75 million in emergency school desegregation money last fall "helped to bring about the calm and smooth transition from dual to unitary school systems" in the south. Marland appeared before a Senate Education Subcommittee to defend RN's appeal for $1. 5 billion over the next two years for the same purpose. Marland said the new proposal has built-in safeguards to prevent any misspending like that last year. * * The NY City Board Of Education announced that the city's school system is $40 million in the red and may have to start laying off teachers next month. * OEO OEO Director Carlucci overrode the veto of a $199, 440 legal services grant by Gov. John Williams of Mississippi. * *** Paul Samuelson said RN's suspension of Davis-Bacon Boul CONOMY could have "some effect" on inflation, but wage-price good controls were too stringent a measure. "I would not be telling the Chief Executive if I were the Chief of the CEA that it was his duty now to enact controls, 11 Samuelson said. Wage-price controls were not warranted because "we're not in the worst' economic crisis now. 11 He compared such controls to penicillin. "Since its such a powerful weapon, the most powerful penicillin you could imagine, would you use it even on such a serious thing as whooping cough, since you can only use it once in a short time, or ought you to save it for real pneumonia that may come along." ****
