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. Student expenses
are slightly less at the three Col
leges of Education, at Ashland,
LaGrande and Monmouth, since

so markedly in smaller cities.
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. Many
are working this summer, and
hold down part time jobs while
in school to pay au or part oi

Polio Has Very Few
Japanese Victims

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-

Congress Sidelights
By Harris Ellsworth
Congressman, 4th District of Oregon
Protect Your Family
with the B. M. A.
Polio plan.

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.

Buick Car Output In August May Set New High
DETROIT, July 20. iJP) Buick
division of General Motors ex
pects to produce more cars in
August than in any previous
month In its 46-year history.
Ivan I, Wiles, Buick general
manager, made this statement
by a private showing to newsmen
of Buick's new special model. -

August production will exceed

and Plymouth.
Wiles said that Buick, now
selling about 8.5 per cent of the
industry's total sales, is aiming
at 10 per cent of the total.
