...having universal approval as any of the dozens of federal programs, and has already "had a very major, very deep" effect, says Werner Hirsch, director of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at U.C.L.A. But even Head Start money "goes down the sewer," notes Chicago Urbanologist Philip Hauser, if Head Start graduates are then put-as they usually are-into classrooms that are not prepared for them. Most job-training projects also receive high marks. Four Government "skills centers" in Los Angeles have provided training for 840 slum residents, finding jobs for 85% of them since the 1965 Watts...
...cities have deteriorated considerably, but not irreparably. Money can help to salvage them. Chicago's Hauser figures that an additional $20 billion a year in federal funds over the next decade should do the job; Harvard Psychologist Thomas Pettigrew sets the sum at $25 billion a year; the Senate's Ribicoff subcommittee puts it at a neat $1 trillion. That kind of money, of course, even over a long period, does not come easily-nor is it all that easy to spend it wisely...
...Philip Hauser, 57, a sociologist at the University of Chicago's Center for Urban Studies, the second most important urban research center in the country, advocates a federal "Human Renewal Administration." "All of the welfare and educational provisions today," he declares, "are only a Band-Aid on a gaping, massive wound. Should the present trends continue, we can expect guerrilla warfare on a scale terrible to contemplate." Hauser contends that a great deal of effort is being dissipated. "What is the point of putting children in a Head Start program," he asks, "and then into a conventional school system...
...University of Chicago's Center for Urban Studies, an eleven-man faculty headed by Sociologist Philip Hauser is studying, among other things, the effect of urban renewal on small businesses, probing the finances of public housing to see if the money is most efficiently used. A Harvard-M.I.T. Joint Center for Urban Studies, created with Ford Foundation funds by former M.I.T. President Julius Stratton and former Harvard Dean McGeorge Bundy -who, coincidentally, now hold the two top jobs at the Ford Foundation-advises a metropolitan council embracing 78 towns and cities. It gets so many requests for help...
...state and local taxes-which last year amounted to an average $266 for every man, woman and child in the country. The problem will grow as state and local governments are forced to spend much more on rapidly rising populations. Despite the recently lower birth rate, Dr. Philip M. Hauser, a University of Chicago population expert, reported last week that the U.S. can count on 65 million more Americans by 1985-an increase equal to the combined present populations of England and Scandinavia...
