Church calls education budget cuts ‘brutal’ Presidential hopeful Sen. Frank Church, D-ldaho, told Oregon students that the "brutal” cuts in the federal education budget demonstrate that education has a low priority in the Ford Administra tion.

Surely Con gress will not accept their brutal reductions." Church said education should be given “more stature in the bureaucracy,” complaining that the Commissioner of Education’s power is not comparable to that of the cabinet officers.
