WARM SPRINGS, Ga. (AP) — Celebrating the legacy of Franklin D. Roosevelt at his “Little White House,” President Clinton said Wednesday that FDR would have been on his side in fighting efforts to cut aid for the needy or retreat from America’s obligations abroad. Marking the 50th anniversary of Roosevelt’s death, Clinton said the key to raising Americans’ stagnant wages is through education. He warned Republicans he will not sign any tax-cut bill unless it helps pay the costs of education. “Education is the fault line in America today,” Clinton said in his most direct statement yet on what he’ll demand in a tax bill. “Those who have it are doing well in the global economy. Those who don’t are not doing well.” Clinton spoke in front of the white clapboard cot tage in Warm Springs, where Roosevelt sought relief from the paralysis of polio and where, on April 12, 1945, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage at age 63. “He led us from the depths of economic despair through a Depression, to victory in the war, to the threshold of the promise of the postwar America he unfolded.” It was Clinton’s first trip to Warm Springs, and he said he’d always wanted to visit the memorial to one of America’s greatest political leaders. “My grandfather thought he was going to go to Roosevelt when he died,” the president told reporters on Air Force One. Framed by the white pillars on the front porch of Roosevelt’s Little White House, Clinton said FDR would have welcomed the debate about the role of gov ernment, in which many Republic/ans are trying to dismantle the liberal foundation that he laid. “And so I believe if President Roosevelt were here, he would say, ‘Let’s have a great old-fashioned debate about the role of government and let’s make it less bu reaucratic and more flexible,”’ Clinton said. He said Roosevelt would say, ‘Let’s put a sense of independence back into our welfare system.’ But he would also say, ‘Let’s not forget that what really works in life is when people get a hand up, not a handout; when Americans go up or down together.’” Clinton worried that if Roosevelt were alive today, “he would see, indeed, a country encrusted with cyni cism. He would see an insensitivity on the part of peo ple who say, ‘Well, I made it, and why should I help anyone else. ...’ “That was not Franklin Roosevelt. He was not cyni cal, he was not angry, he was not insensitive, he did not believe in division and he certainly was not confused.” Noting the tax-cut fever in Washington, Clinton said, “We have to worry about how much and who gets it and what for: We should not do it if we have to cut education. We should not do it if we have to explode the deficit.

Republicans call for investigation into TEC □ The Texas GOP claims that state money has been used to criti cize the political party. AUSTIN (AP) — Texas House Republican leaders Wednesday called for an investigation into whether state Employment Commissioner Jackie St. Clair il legally used tax money to pub lish a newsletter critical of the new Republican Congress. The House GOP Caucus wants Travis County District At torney Ronnie Earle to investi gate the matter. “It’s our contention, after looking at this, that this is paid for by state funds to do a politi cal hatchet job on the Republi can Party,” caucus Chairman Tom Craddick, R-Midland, said. “I think this is an illegal use of state funds.” St. Clair, a Democrat appoint ed by former Gov. Ann Richards as the commission’s labor repre sentative, responded that he is simply doing his job by publish ing a newsletter that targets the interests of his constituency. “I don’t feel it’s improper; I think it’s my duty,” he said. “If I thought I was being improper, I sure wouldn’t have done it. All I want to do is what my job says, and I thought that’s what I was doing.” The three-person commission includes a labor representative, an employer representative and a representative of the general public. At issue is the latest edition of Labor News, a quarterly newsletter published by St. Clair. The newsletter, which St. Clair said has been published by the TEC’s labor representa tive for about 30 years, costs 15 cents a copy and is paid for with state money. About 6,000 copies are printed each quarter, St. Clair said. Craddick cited three articles in the seven-page newsletter that he said espouse the political agenda of St. Clair. Two of the articles are written by St. Clair: the other is a reprint. In one article, St. Clair dis cusses the need for citizens and the government to work togeth er, stating, “The recent rhetorit of the new Republican leader ship has probably only reduced civility.” He writes in another that Texas has lost influence in Con gress, despite the appointment of several Texas Republicans to leadership positions. “In all likelihood, the change of control is less positive foralot of Texas interests that had be come used to exercising power through the well-established, re peatedly re-elected Democrats,' the article states.
