It provides that. in awarding contracts. the Government would give credit on the bids received from cities of under 250.000 population. One percent credit will be given cities with a population under 250.000. 2 percent if the area is under 100.000 population. and 3 percent If the area is under 50.000 population. A separate credit of 2 percent is proposed for any area where unemployment or underemployment exceeds the national average or for areas of serious emigration. Such a bill could be easily implemented. It would require only that the Secretary of Labor determine. at lmast quarterly. those areas in which unemployment or underemployment Is in excess of the national average. and those areas of serious emigration. and that the Secretary of Labor determine. at least metropolitan areas and the population of such areas on the basis of the latest census. Let us put Federal action behind a sane policy to attain an urbanrural balance.
