Comprehensive Employment and Training Act. Reagan plans to abolish the act's public service employment programs, which would cost more than $3.7 billion next year. They pay the salaries of 1,600 employees in city government and nonprofit agencies in San Francisco alone. Arkansas may lose as many as 2,500 workers, while New York City will dismiss 11,500. "Most of ours will end up going back on welfare," complains Ronald Gault, New York's employment commissioner. Yet of all Reagan's budget cuts, the controversial CETA program may be among the least missed. Says Cleveland...
...more, if the Reagan Administration succeeds in its plan to abolish CETA programs across the nation. In Erie, Lilley is one of 500 people currently paid by CETA and working for such nonprofit agencies as the Y.M.C.A. and the Red Cross or learning job skills in local training programs. In addition, CETA funded summer jobs for 500 of the city's youngsters last year. In the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, Erie will receive $5 million from CETA -a welcome transfusion for a decaying industrial city that is hemorrhaging jobs. The unemployment rate in Erie now hovers...
Many Erie officials, not surprisingly, condemn the proposed slashing of CETA funds. Says Mayor Louis Tullio: "It's going to have a drastic effect on the nonprofit agencies, on the services they provide, and on the city of Erie." R. Benjamin Wiley, executive director of the Greater Erie Community Action Committee, which administers CETA programs, is even more vehement in describing the impact. "There's going to be more crime and more homicides," warns Wiley. "The bottom line is that if these programs are cut, you're putting more people out there on the unemployment line...
...this kind, and the position of the Jews was not that of a ritual victim." Still, the term has entered the world's vocabulary (der Holocaust has been naturalized in German), and survivors themselves employ it. The Holocaust Library, distributed by Schocken Books, for instance, is a nonprofit publishing enterprise created and managed by refugees. Most of the titles belong to the literature of testimony-The Holocaust Kingdom by Alexander Donat (361 pages; $8.95, paperback) typically records the last days of the Warsaw ghetto and the will of a child to appeal the world's sentence of death...
However church money is handled, fiscal accountability is far looser than for other nonprofit organizations, which are required by law to keep records open to the public and follow standard bookkeeping practices. Churches have to meet no such formal standards and have been treated as exempt from government scrutiny under the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom. But more and more, church money raisers these days confront a growing public skepticism about how ecclesiastical cash is handled...
