Literacy
program not
reaching goal
tiew Vork-fcderal program that promised to wipe
out illiteracy In America have failed to live up to their
claims, and as many as 64 million adults may be consider
ed illiterate, according to a Ford Foundation study re
leased Sunday.
Hie Adult Basic Education (ABE) program, passed In
1964, promised to end the "inability to get or retain em
ployment but instead has failed to reach persons most
desperately in need, said the report entitled. "Adult Wit
eracy in the United States."
ABE also has been hobbled by poor attendance and
high dropout rate, said the report, with fewer than 2 mil
lion persons enrolled in federal programs designed to meet
the needs of more than 60 million.
They are not going to Individuals currently working for
the government, but are being sent to those who estab
lished eligibility for veterans, social security, civil service
retirement and other benefits. Many Are forekn nationals.
As a result of the normalization of relations with
China, the Carter administration recently lifted the ban on
sending government checks to persons living In that
country. ?.
It is not yet known how many Individuals will qualify
for U.S. benefits of one kind or another.
Budget battle
Armed diplomats
Kampala, Uganda-American and other diplomats have
begun arming themselves and some embassies have even
Imported special sharpshooter squads to protect them
against rampant lawlessness and daily murders, diplomatic
scources said Saturday.
Ugandan officials, unable thus far to cope with the
armed gangs terrorizing Uganda and its capital, are en
couraging diplomats and local residents to join them in an
"all-out-war" against the legacy of lawlessness left by the
ousted regime of dictator Idi Am in.
Hundreds and possibly thousands of persons have been
killed In daily murders since Amin was toppled in April
despite the restoration of law and order being the gov
ernment's top priority.
New ruling?
Washington-A battle over the federal budget starts in
Congress this week as the projected deficit for 1980
threatens to increase by $10 billion, perhaps more.
The lawmakers are feeling pressure to Impose fiscal
restraint as a way of controlling inflation. At the same
time, powerful special interests led by the military, are
arguing for spending increases to keep their programs in
line with rising prices.
Meanwhile, Republicans are leading demands for a big
tax cut that they say would help head off a threatening
recession.
In May, Congress passed the first budget resolution,
which set tentative spending and revenue targets for the
fiscal year beginning Oct. t. Now Congress must review its
earlier decisions and adopt a second budget resolution set
ting firmer goals and priorities. The final product Is sup
posed to be ready by Sept. 15, but Congress probably will
miss the deadline by at least a week.
Hurricane threat
Miami-Hurricane Gloria, a threat only to ships in the
mid-Atlantic Ocean, maintained minimal hurricane
strength Saturday while remnants of former Hurricane
Frederick dumped mote rain on.Hispanioia and Cuba.
Highest winds were about 75 mph, but It could in
crease some In strength, forecaster John Hope said.
Washington-Justice John Paul Stevens of the Supreme
Court said Saturday that the possibility that judges might
too casually grant requests to close entire trials to the
public "may justify the adoption of new court rules, or
even new legislation.
But he emphasized that the Constitution itself, as In
terpreted in a recent Supreme Court decision, Gannett v.
DePasquale, did not bar such closings when the defense
and prosecution agreed to them. - '
The prospect that some judges may occasionally be too
quick to close trials "is not an acceptable reason for re
writing the Constitution of the United States," he said.
Stevens, in remarks prepared for delivery at dedication
ceremonies for the University of Arizona College of Law
in Tucson, thus became the fourth justice to comment
publicly on the Gannett opinion since it was issued.
International checks
Washington-The U.S. government is sending monthly
checks to nearly 400,000 persons living in more than 120
countries In all parts of the world.
The checks this year will total about $1 billion.
In destinations and monthly numbers, they range from
the one check being sent to a resident of Cameroon to the
93,000 checks mailed to residents of the Philippines.
