(font, from « . 1 col. 5) India lian Inner Meaning Regarding Ita spiritual moaning. In tlie Hindu religion theie la one god, Krishna, who la always playing on tills (lute, and this Is to lure or entice us to beauty or mean ing of god. lie appeals not to force or duty hut to the pure love of the lieart...to what we really love. And what we tru ly love la our god, and whole desire. F o r example the great artist gives himself to the truth of beauty beyond success o r fa il ure, Joy or sorrow, life or death, lie is one with it in mind and heart and It Is his life and soul. it applies also to the saint or scien tis t In their search fo r truth. It Is this kind of love which la meant. Perhaps compassion and unity have been so stressed In India because she Is such a lietei ogenuous land whose Aryan invaders were of a diffe ie n t race and mentality and religion from the native Dravidlans In the south, and the numerous p rim itive tribes. Yet long ago they eschewed force and decided on a course of peace and unity. Sometimes of course India la not true to herself, as in the partition with Pakistan where she broke her age-old tradition of religious toler ance. Some say It was due to the B ritis h policy of divide am) rule; that they searched fo r a Moslem leader who would yield to their whispers of ” a land fo r yourselves" and fermented the great struggle. liven in the world today we could lay down our arm s and share and live together In peace, but we do not do It because we have not yet learned, and because It Is not yet the true love of our hearts. The prayer of Mother India la that all her many children may be one, and one In sp irit; that all colors and differences may be blended Into light. In a s p irit that Is warm and ever- expanslve as the sun Itself, and ends at last in radiance and joy. (cont. in next week’ s Issue) 6 2 7 S. E. Division P.O.

The "b la ck oriented" station that broadcasts from Harlem was purchased from Its white owner by a group of black Investors headed by Amsterdam News owners Percy Sutton and Clarence Jones. C urrently, 23 of the d is tric t’ s 56 elementary schools are In tegrated. SURVEY RESULTS M orrison examined child ren in grades two through six with the widely used C alifornia Achievement T e s ts .! he read ing scores of 79 students being bused were compared with those of 197 students from segregated schools. In grades two, three, four and six, the bused children led by an av erage of 10 points. Fifth-grade students who were bused also did better than students who were not bused, but by a si ight- ly sm aller margin. In the arithm etic compari sons, 77 bused students scored higher than 175 students In grades two through six who were not bused. According to the report, busing also resulted In Im provement In the attitudes arxd behavior of the Integrated pu pils and their teachers. AN UNANSWERED QUES TION Replying to c ritic is m that the sampling was too small, M orrison said his r e p o r t showed students had "achiev ed significantly highergalns." T heir educational value is not indicated, he said. "Its im p ly means that there Is something happening here that didn’ t hap pen by chance." Donald E. Hall, assistant superintendent of schools, said: “ If this were the only evidence that had ever been made available, it would be more than suspect. But when you start finding the same re sults coming up and reinforc ing each other, then you have to start believing It.” Encouraging as the new study may be, s till unanswered is the question that most con cerns many white parents: How are m ajority students af fected scholastically by the In tegration plan?

While busing continues to disturb many Americans, It is old stuff to Sacramento's school system, and so fai tie experiment seems to le turn ing out happily. Fresh, but s till lim ited,ev idence appeared last week suggesting that tie city’ s sev en-year-old busing plan is achieving at least one of Its goals: better grades for the m in o rity children bused to schools outside their neigh borhoods. A survey by Edward B .M or rison, a research assistant employed by tie school board, reported that m inority child ren bused to Integrated ele mentary schools scored sig nificantly higher thanchildren of tie same ages who stayed at segregated schools, in tests of both reading and mathema tics. EARLY OPPOSITION Sacramento’ s busing pro gram, proposed by the city’ s unified school d is tric t, en countered some opposition at firs t, but began with none of the protest, vandalism, or pressure of court action that have marked the start of bus ing in some cities. The result reported last week reinforce the findings of e a rlie r studies of the c ity ’ s Federally f i nanced compensatory-educa tion program for children of low-Income fam ilies. Almost 37 per cent of the d is tric ts school children be long to m inority groups: 15 per cent are black, 12 per cent have Spanish surnames, 8 per cent are Oriental, and 2 per cent belong to American In dian and other groups. At present, 1,400 children, mostly black, are being bused In Sacramento. Another 1,400 children are still attending segregated schools. TheM or- rison report may encourage the school board to totally in tegrate tie city’ s schools. M iss Bagley shows how It is done on skates.

PPS' OUR WAR TAX DOLLAR Mark Hatfield The citizens of Multnomah County paid $30.7 m illio n in tax money last year just to fight the War lnVletnam. Yet, spending tor the War was just 15% of spending fo r the m ili tary. o f the total amount of Federal tax money that came from the pockets of the people of Multnomah County—$319J m illion—$204.7 m illio n went fo r m ilita ry purposes. That is 64 cents out of every Federal tax d o lla r. In con trast, only 16 cents went fo r education, health, and welfare. These figures reveal the present ordering of national p rio ritie s . New p rio ritie s are needed. If we are to restore the health of the economy and meet the press ing need to r Federal funds fo r water and sewer projects, housing, aid to education, law enforcement, environmental protection, youth care. Job re-training, Irrigation and flood control, recioational area development, and so on, down a very long lis t. My s ta ffs recent study on the cost of the War tc Oregon brought out the above figures from behind a camouflage of Federal and state budget and tax data. 1 have computed a formula from this study that allows each Oregonian to fig ure his own contributions to m ilita ry spending and, speci fica lly, to fighting the War In Vietnam. Simply estimate the total Federal taxes you part during fiscal year 1971 (July 1, 1970 - June 30, 1971). (Thia includes your income tax; excise taxes on alcohol, to bacco, amusements, tele phone, luxuries; and customs duties, estate taxes, and g ift taxes, if any. Do not include Social Security.) M ultiply this total by 0.64 and you w ill have your contribution to m ilita ry spending fo r fiscal 1971. M u ltip ly that same total by 0J0 and you w ill have your contribution to the War last year. F in a lly, If you are Interested In estimating what you have contributed to fight ing the W ar since 1965, m ulti ply that same total by 0.77. The average Oregon house hold paid $14277)0 last year in Federal taxes(not including Social Security). Of this amount, $915.00 was ear marked fo r m ilita ry pur p o se s— $137.00 specifically fo r fighting the War.

Since 1965, fighting the War In Vietnam has cost the Nation $123,000,000,000 ($123 b il lion). This figure, however, does not include the indirect costs, such as war-generated Inflation, Vietnam veterans* benefits, and rehabllltatlonfor drug-addicted troops. Con sidering the veterans alone, and using past wars as a guide, it Is estimated that the budgeted cost of the War w ill be Increased by at least $60 billion as Vietnam veterans* benefits are paid out In the future. A further cost w ill be borne by the U.S. tax payers as they pay more and more interest on the burgeon ing national debt, which Is about 80j£ war-created. The War has also cost a great deal to Oregon in term s of lost opportunities. While the lis t of much-needed Oregon projects appears in exhaustible, the lis t of pro jects rejected fo r lack of funds Is nearly as long. F o r example, the C ity Portland applied fo r $600,000 to build an important trunk-line sewer In A p ril, 1970. They were told that funds were not avail able fo r the project. In the last six months (through August), requests from M ult nomah County fo r Federal assistance In w ite r and sewer projects have totaled $5.4 m illio n . Compare this figure with what the citizens of M ult nomah County have spent just fo r fighting the Vietnam War in the last six months: $15.3 m illio n . This comparison is especially significant when you realize that fo r every water or sewer project In Oregon that Is actually funded, there are ten fo r which there are no funds. The message Is plainly this: In addition to the horrible human costs of death and in ju ry to young Oregon men, the War has caused the people of Oregon to fo rfe it large sums of money and tremendous economic opportunities. Your community has suffered, and the quality of living in your area has gone wanting. The road to a healthier economy and to a better quality of life leads away from ex cessive m ilita ry spending. The way is through develop ment of community, human resources, natural resources, and commerce. The War has skewed our national p rio ritie s fo r the last seven years; It is time fo r a change.
