4 Tht Naws-Revlaw, Reieburg, Ore Thur., July 21, 1949 Oregon Higher Education Costs Double In 10 Years EUGENE, July 20 (Special) Attending one oi the schools of the State System of Higher Edu cation costs about $750 today, or about double what It did , ten years ago, business managers and housemothers at the insti tutions say, but residence fees have gone up only 30 per cent. Largest Increase has been in ' room and board, and Increase In cost of books Is another factor in the rise, managers of the cooper ative book stores report. Room and board at the Uni versity of Oregon and Oregon State College Is $503, compared with $245 in 1939-40. Institutional fees, at the same schools, will be $127.50 In 1949-50, compared to $96 in 1939-40.

These figures are based on dor mitory accommodations, and do not include travel, clothing and extra frills. Some students will live more cheaply in cooperative houses (at OSC and the Univer sity) or in private homes.

UP) Japa nese apparently have developed a natural Immunity to polio, Gen eral MacArthur's public health chief said today. Before 1947. said Brie. Gen Crawford F. Sams, the disease wasn't reported because of its relative rarity. Last year, when there were 27,000 cases In the United States, Japan had only 980. "Occupation personnel .may contract the disease from one another," Sams said, "but It is unlikely that polio will be trans- mittea Deiween tne racer-.

Senate debate on the North Atlantic pact has been get ting close attention from the Mos cow press. Here are a few recent head lines which appeared In Pravda, the official communist party newspaper: "American Public Comes Out Aeainst Pact." "Senate Discusses Atlantic Pact" (this story told of growing opposition among senators to the charter). "Sen. (William E.) Jenner (R Ind.) quoted as saying pact a mili tary alliance not for peace but for unleashing war." Other Soviet newspapers also have been giving the debate steady play.

Congress Sidelights By Harris Ellsworth Congressman, 4th District of Oregon Protect Your Family with the B. M. A. Polio plan. Call Mr. Lincoln, 938-J-4 or drop card to Box 108 Melrose Route, There has not been a great deal of publicity given to the fact, but before long the Federal Govern ment through the Veterans Ad ministration will begin the dis tribution of cash to veterans. The total will be two billion, eight hundred millions of dollars! Think what that amount of new, unobligated, spendable income will do toward bolstering up a slightly sagging U.S. economy, sso, for once an outpouring of federal money is not listed under the heading of government spending. This will be the return to vet erans of World War II of over payments they have made on their National Service Life In surance Policies. The Veterans Administration refers to the payments as a spe cial dividend. Anyone who held NSLI for as long as three months is eligible for payments. Veterans need not write the VA about this. Application forms will soon be available at all post offices. AU the veteran needs to do Is obtain a form, fill it out and mall it to the VA. In a letter I received recently from VA Administrator Carl R. Gray, Jr., he states: "Every ef fort Is being made to speed up work in' connection with payment of the dividend. We hope to mall out the first checks some time in January 1950, and to have the payment substantially completed by June 30th." The announcement of plans for distributing insurance dividend checks to some eleven or twelve million veterans during the Con gressional campaign year of 1950 touched many political nerves around the capltol. It was freely stated by Republican members nf rinorase onrl nn nrpttv rpH. able information it seemed, that these checks actually could be sent out during 1949 but that the distribution was delayed until next year for political reasons. I offer no opinion on this because I have no direct personal knowl edge about it but I do know that things of that sort have happened in this big government of ours.

Gl Jobless Pay To Stop July 25 SALEM, July 21. 6B Ninety five per cent of Oregon's Wcrld War II veterans will be ineligible for federal GI Jobless benefits after July 25, which is the last day for payments for men who were discharged before the offi cial end of the war on July 25, 1947.
