Congressman Obey was one of three Democratic candidates who were touring the central Wisconsin-Clark county area on Monday, meeting people and shaking hands. Also present was state representative Joe Sweda, who now represents a portion of northeast Clark County in the newly reappor tioned 34th district and candidate for Clerk of the Circuit Court Steve W. Hemersback of Owen.
Congressman Obey touched briefly on several topics and was extremely critical of recent action in the House of Representatives in connection with anti-bussing legislation which cleared the House last week.
The Democratic congressman cited view in favor of additional funds for education from the federal budget, pointing out that school districts not favored with high valuations and rich residents would be able to provide equal education.
Obey was also critical of the Nixon administration over its failure to enforce uniform decisions on control of wages and prices while lauding the Nixon-Moscow arms limitation talks.
