2 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Tuei., June 28, 1955 Commission Opposes Ike's Highway Financing Plans, Favors State, Local Taxing BY STERLING F. GREEN WASHINGTON w The Commission on Intergovern mental Relations took issue Monday with President Eisen hower's highway financing program and called on his ad ministration to assume full command of civil defense. The 25-me m b e r commission created by Congress two years ago to recommend boundary lines for overlapping taxes and encroaching governmental authority, filed with the President a 311-page document proposing: 1. Withdrawal of the federal gov ernment from some fields of tax ation leaving them to the states and cities as rapidly as tax re duction becomes possible. It named no specific taxes. 2. Federal "payment in lieu of taxes to cities and states, in com pensation for real estate stricken from their tax roll because of federal ownership. . 3. Increased federal appropria tions for a stepped-up, state-ad ministered highway construction program to be financed on a "pay- as-you-build" basis not by borrow ing. 4. Action bv Congress to trans fer resDonsibility for civil defense to Washington from the state and cities which the commissions aid are ill-equipped financially and otherwise to carry the burden. 5. Continuance with some im Dortant changes and curtailments of federal gran's-in-ald. under which more than two billion dollars annually is furnished to states and local governments. The federal grant, the report said, "has be come a fully matured device of cooperative government. Local Aid Emohaili.tJ The commission n c a d e i by Meyer Kcslnbaum of Chicago, resident of the Hart Schaffner & Marx clothing concern, empha sized this view! "A fundamental objective of our system of government should be to keep centrimation to a minimum and state-local responsibility to a maximum." It called on the government to exercise "forbearance in en croaching on the jurisdiction of states, counties ana cities, dm em phasized that the state must mod ernize their contitution and tax systems and reorganize their ad ministrative machinery to serve the public better. It proposed that each state launch "a searching re appraisal of its fiscal policies." While the cities and states are at a disadvantage in competing with the federal government in the same fields of tax collection the commission said, "substantial po tential for more revenue exists in almost all if not all, states." Sen. Mora Diat.ntt tHa renort. although sprinkled with dissents, mustered a majority on all major issues. Sens. Morse (D-Ore) and Humphrey (D-Minn) contributed most of the dissents, and Morse ended by filing a gen eral dlsent. .....

As a youngster, Stella remem bers the emotion-filled day in 1947 when Israeli women announced their Intentions to fight with their brothers for their country. Over whelmed, the government revers ed its decision of not drafting women. It marked a turning point in the nation's welfare, Miss Bass said. There are Hi million citizens in Israel, some 500,000 reside in Tel-Aviv. Of all factors, education, per haps, is most different here. Schooling is. to quote her, "there a dreadful thing." Subjects are mandatary. Curing one year, Stel la's schedule included algebra, ge ometry, physics, chemistry, French, Hebrew, English, Bible, science (human nature) and Ar abic. She dropped the latter. Because few students can afford to continue on to college, the cur riculum is difficult. And there is a "distance" between teacher and student. "Here," she continued, "students and teachers are friends." She prefers auch a sys tem. Israeli students have no school activities. Classes and study (ill each day. Ua.w from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; study until midnight or later. Even in hool the army entera in. The last three years of high school, students spend an hour of early morning training, before classes. Stella's father, Dr. Max Bass, is I brothor of Mrs. Sehaefcr. He is physician in Tel-Aviv. Stella's mother and brother Gideon, 4. comprise the rest of her immed iate family. Oregonlan said, he feels the re port "goes too far in' playing down the doctrine of federal sovereign ty". Still, he paid high tribute to the "very sincere, thorough and studious work" done by the com mission. The Commision also rejected the propoal y! the Conference of Governors that the government re linquish the fcdral ?asolinc tax, letting Ihe slates increase their own gas taxes as a source of rev enue for highway development. "ThA .nmmicinn recommends." the renort declared, "that the cx- nanded hichvav prugr?m be nanced substantially on a pay-as- you-go basis and that Congress Drovide additional revenue for thi piiYV' primarily 'rom in creased motor fuel taxes." Toll Road Aid Opposed The re;. t also urged that "no rlnal .A Vtn nivnn tnr nnv toll road." ai d declared "It would be a basic mistake and wasteful dup lication for. the national govern ment to embark on a new program .f oMnnllv hiiilrlincr maintaining and operating any large segment of -the highway network." The commission opposed any general federal aid to education, but proposed "temporary" help for school construction in cases wnere the state could prove actual need. In such cases, it said, the govern ment should use "particular cau tion to avoid interference. ." . in educational processes or pro grams." TUa t.Aru,i-f cniri faripral grants for school lunches should be re duced and, "after a reasoname pe riod of time," eliminated.
