School Aid'
Would Help
Banks More
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen.
; Neuberger (D-Ore) said Tuesday
the administration's proposed
school-aid program possibly
would be “of greater aid to banks
tharr to school children and their
teachers.’’
Neuberger said A. L. Beck,
Oregon state school planning di
rector, had told him that pro
posed federal support of school
bond interest rates up to 3Vb per
cent "may produce an undesir
able effect” in Oregon.
The average interest rate for
Oregon school districts, Beck
said, has been 2.45 per cent. He
added that commercial agencies
probably would raise their rates
if Congress authorized 3V6 per
cent on school loans.
Neuberger declared in a state
ment:
“It is possible that the Eisen
hower program may be of great
er aid to banks than to school
children and their teachers by
stimulating a great wave of bor
rowing at higher interest levels.”
