Statesman, Salem, Ore., Monday, January 21, 1957-5 School Spending Here Tops Average NEW YORK, Jan. 20 From a purely financial viewpoint, more is being done in Salem, Ore., to educate its children than in the average city of its size in t h e nation. Expenditures per pupil lo cally are found to be higher. - The findings are based on sta tistics just issued by the Govern ment in its Biennial Survey of Education in the United States. The comparative data, which car ries up to 1955, takes into account the amounts devoted to instruc tion, administration and mainten ance. It covers 3,568 independent public school systems throughout the country. In Salem, expenditures for full- time primary and secondary schools came to 12,497,000 in the year. This was the amount spent for teaching, supervision and maintenance of school property. It is exclusive of capital outlays. Swiss Study Plan Revealed American graduate students will have an opportunity to study in Switzerland during 1957-58. accord ing to an announcement from the Institute of International Educa tion in New York City. The program has been made available by Swiss universities and societies and by the American- Swiss Foundation for Scientific Exchange, said Kenneth Holland, institute president. The Swiss American Student Exchange has set up grants for the program, the .grants having been established in 1927 in appre ciation of those given by Ameri can colleges and universities. In addition, a number of lead ing Swiss universities will offer tuition grants. Application for the program is open to men and women, preferably under 35. Related to the children in aver age daily attendance, this was equivalent to $282.10 per pupil. It was high in comparison with such expenditures in the other cities of its size. The average was $277.37 per pupil It was. also, above the $276.52 per pupil that- was the average among cities of all sizes in the United States. Alarm is being expressed in many quarters over the status of education in this country. The fears take the form of: not enough schools being built to provide for the rising tide of children; too few teachers, too poorly paid; children not mastering the ABC's any more; too much time spent on trivialities: Russia is imperil ling 'us by training more engineers and scientists. Financial Ability That the nation has the financial ability to handle the problem is not seriously questioned. The na tion, it is pointed out, spends mora for new cars each year and nearly as much for alcoholic beverage! as for education. ; , Another matter taken up in the Kllrvpv ivn that n( taa.h tK ficiency or insufficiency. The count ' showed the average ratio for all city school systems, based on pupil attendance, to be 24 pupils for every teacher. In Salem it waa also 24. Rites Monday For Farmer Of Mt.

Rules Listed For Veterans Fishing Fees Oregon veterans who are dis abled 25 per cent or more and who secured a hunting or fishing license in 1956 for 50 cents will not be required this year to -obtain a statement of disability when applying for ' a new license, Charles Langdon, manager of the VA Regional Office in Portland, said Saturday. According to Langdon the Ore gon State Game Commission fur nished the VA a list of all vet erans who secured a license at, a reduced cost. The list was pro cessed and returned to the Com mission with a report of current disability rating for each veteran named. Oregon statutes provide that an honorably discharged disabled war veteran; including one with Korean service, is eligible for the reduced rate license. However, Langdon stated, the veteran must have re- Public Records MUNICIPAL COURT Walter A. Nelson, 80S N. Com mercial St., charged with carry ing a concealed weapon, bail set at $50.

Capitol Phone EM 4-4761 Open 'til 9 Monday and Friday Ba I r less fiSfeo rjjsnoiwExp an si on i ofMwSteel CaptuLfy in '56 I Just one year aJ&Tin annoBficihg thati the country's steel companies were speeding: up increases in their steelmak ing capacity, I said that 'during: the next three yfars they plan to build 15 million, tons of new capacity." The estimated -cost was $3 billion. Now, 12 months later, I am able to re- port that these company programs of expansion are moving ahead on schedule. With the addition of 5 million tons of new capacity in 1956 America now is equipped to produce 133.5 million tons of steel annually. That is more than 40 per cent of the total for the whole world. WS S. Y1'.J1; 1 0 1' 71 AM Steel Gauge Nation' $ Strength There is a measure of comfort for all of us Americans in that fact, since steel is one of the important yardsticks of national strength. No other country can approach our production of this basic metal. Russia has the next largest capacity but this is only about one third of the American total. The need for accelerated expansion is even more apparent now than one year ago. Many new and pressing require ments for steel have emerged since my report of last January. Suez; brought into bold relief the urgent need for a larger fleet, of tankers. Roadbuilders broke ground on the $33 billion interstate superhighway system. Our country's school building program, is being speeded up. Defense Cannot Be Neglected And the national defense program in these times of world tension requires many, new types of steel. Meanwhile, the normal demand for steel continues to grow with the risejnj population and in living standards. In 25 years the country's population has increased by 36 per cent and the per capita use of steel in America in that period has gone up from 469 pounds to 1,390 pounds, or 196 per cent. Keeping abreast of all these added needs for steel in our country is the job and responsibility of the steel companiesu Yet every American has a stake in that job because without enough steel in the years ahead the nation could not main tain its world position. But if the steel companies are to main tain the current pace, let alone to accel erate it, all of us should be aware of the difficult hurdles they have to clear in achieving this goal. Fosf Capital Mutt Be Raised The biggest hurdle of all is that of raising the capital funds to build their new plants and facilities. That calls for profits sufficiently attractive to hold the confidence of investors and lenders. Unfortunately, many companies in steel and other industries arc suffering from a malady known as "phantom profits" figures which must be reported as profits subject to taxes but are really costs of doing business. ' This comes about because our Federal Tax Laws make no allowance for the effects of inflation. Under these laws an Industrial company is allowed, in theory, to save up enough money over the life of a piece of equipment to replace it when it wears out. But the catch is that the company is allowed to recover only the original cost of that piece of equipment, whereas the actual cost of replacing it may be three or fourtimcsas much, becauseof inflation. Thus, the amount recovered through, "depreciation" under the present tax laws is not nearly enough to pay for re placing the worL-out equipment. Conse quently American industry must use a substantial part of its so-called profits just to replace its facilities asjtheyjtvearj out just to stand still. Conttant Supply If Essential This seriously impairs industry's abiH ity to expand as rapidly as it should in the national interest. That is especially true in the steel industry because stecl-i making equipment is enormously costly and has an unusually low rate of depreciation. But with continued undcrstandingand support of the American public, this nation's many individual steel companies will surely succeed in the effort to keep steel always available for the thousands of purposes it serves. America and steel must grow together. n Prtsidsnt AMERICAN IRON AND'-STEEL INSTITUTE COMPANY MIMBISta OP SMIKICAN HON AND STBBL INSTITUTE IN TH UNITtD TTt AftCi ACME STtCl COMPMIT UN WOOO STf fl C0KMFIY AUECHENY LUDiUW STfCl COHPOMTION ANCHOR DRAWN STEEL COMPANY ARMCO STEEL CORPORATION ATLANTIC STEEL COMPANY THE BABCOCK S WILCOX COMPANY, TUBULAR PRODUCTS DIVISION BARIUM STEEL CORPORATION BETHLEHEM STEEL COMPANY BRAEBURN ALLOY STEEL CORPORATION A.
