ROSEBURG, OREGON THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1948 THIRTEEN Education Bill, Root of Civil Rights Problem, Neglected by the House By PETER EDSOX NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA) Filibustering Dixlecrat senators win their battle to sidetrack the ami poll tax and other civil rights bills, while the real legislation to correct what's wrong goes completely neglected. This is the Federal Aid to Education bill. It has been passed by the Senate. But Is now lies dead and buried In the House Committee on Education and Labor. If ever anything Is going to be I ?7!.Ju'TP,ve.-,h?.."urlflnd the whole colored copula- '""" """"""" ",r urn, . ... FROM TO FIVE By Jo Fischer sheer desperation with the two older parties, which have for so many years given lip service to civil rights, without ever having done anything constructive about them. The southern attitude Is, "You Yankees don't understand this problem. You have got to give us time and let us work this out in our own way. Furthermore, the problem must be worked out on a states' rights basis, because conditions vary from state to state. Mississippi can't handle It the way North Carolina or the Industrialized areas around Birm ingham or Mobile or Atlanta would handle It." The country has been waiting for over 80 years for the South "to work this thing out In its own way." There has obviously been some progress. There could, of course, be more. If, however, It Is still too soon to expect any broad action, such as outlined In the president's civil rights pro gram, then certainly It is not too much to expect that there should be more acceptance and wider support for the Federal Aid to Education bill. United States, It must come through more education. The principal arugment of the Dixi crats against granting full ballot privileges and other civil rights to the Negroes Is that they are not educated enough to use in telligently those guarantees of freedom and equality guaranteed them by the Constitution. If you accept that argument, you must also accept the fact that the school systems are at fault. Simple figures show what's wrong. In eight southern states at the bottom of the list, the average annual expenditure per classroom Is less than $1000. The national average Is $1600. tchsol Money Needed Most southern states admit frankly that they can't afford to spend more. They can't col lect enough taxes from their rela tively poorer populations to give the Negroes better education and so fit them for responsible citi zenship. In this situation, the only rem edy is through Federal aid to education legislation, which would give minimum grants to all states, but relatively largpr grants, per pupil, to the poorer states. Ohio Sen. Robert A. Taft's bill, which passed the Senate last Ap ril, would provide for a minimum expenditure of $50 per pupil per year. This would be roughly $1500 10 uauu per classroom, i ne total cost would be $300,000,000 a year. A companion bill has been ap proved by a House subcommittee on education under Rep. Ed ward O. McCowen, Ohio Republi can. The National Education As sociation, which has lobbied for this bill for many years, believes It would pass the full House Com mittee on Education and Labor If brought to a vote. But Rep. Fred A. Hartley Jr., of New Jersey, chairman of this full committee, has refused to bring the measure up. Instead, he took up the committee's time at the special session with an Investigation of Communist infil tration in New York department tore labor unions.

In line with a national trend, are turning to their own needles and thread In Increasing numbers to combat the high cost of clothing, states Miss Lucy Lane, O. S. C. extension specialist in clothing and textiles. This spring In Just three Willamette valley counties, for examr le, approximately 500 cot ton dresses were made under the supervision of extension lead ers. The cotton dress workshops are designed to teach clothing construction technique. They are under the supervision of project icaaers wno in turn are trained by county home demonstration agents. In the three counties mentioned, Yamhill, Benton and Linn, 55 of these volunteers lead ers were trained to conduct com munity cotton dress workshops. In Jackson county 11 women volunteers held tailoring work shops where 64 suits and coats were made. Miss Lane says the trend to ward home sewing is sweeping the country. She points out that the National Wool Council has announced that the number of home seamstresses has Increased 130 percent during the past five years. Meanwhile, Kederal Re serve board figures Indicate that the fabric sales have risen 169 percent from 1941 to 1947. Home sewers pam out over bo million dollars for 168 million patterns In 1947.

Volunteer local women leaders will again be In charge of the various workshops. In all of the workshops quirk methods and sewing shortcuts will be emphasized, Miss Lane states. Machine hasting, unit construction, less handling of fabric and good organi7ation of work will also be stressed.
