City's Schools In High Rank (Continued from Page One) programs and educational excur sions, obviously has a per pupil expenditure greater than would be the case without expenditure for these features. A breakdown of cost figures showed that Eugene was spend ing more than most cities in the vital area of instruction, as dif ferentiated from other school ex- penditures such as administration and upkeep. The report showed that, on the average, the salaries of teachers as a part of the cost of educat ing each student for a year amounted to $157. In Eugene this cost item was $179. The highest city in the West on this factor waa Santa Barbara, with $186, LESS FOR LIBRARIES In the matter of textbooks, Eu gene spent $3.90 per pupil, as compared with $2.00, the national average.

Eugene also spent more for health services. The national av erage costs were 97 cents for medical, $1.04 for dental and $1.92 for school nurses. Eugene report ed a lump sum cost of $4.53. CLIMATE A VARIABLE Many variables cause differ ences in school costs, tho report pointed out, such as climate, lo cal living costs, age of school buildings, teachers salaries and others. "With education, as with any other commodity, expenditure usually roprcsenls a measure of value received. If economy of ex penditure is obtained at a sacri fice of efficiency in any part of the school program, then 'low costs' per pupil could actually be a false economy," the Office of Education report concluded. 1 J HAROLD MILLER Tournament Chairman Scelba to Visit U.S. WASHINGTON DPI Italian Prime Minister Mario Scclha and Foreign Minister Gaeto Martino will travel to the United Slates this month and visit 6 U.S. cities, including Snn Francisco and Los Angeles.

Much Ado About Nothing, Asserts Chairman Butler DETROIT IW Democratic national chairman Paul M. Butler said Saturday he never intended to make a na tional issue of Mrs. Eisen hower's health and that it "certainly" will not be a campaign issue. "This whole thing has just ' become a battle of words that is much ado about nothing," Butler said at a press con ference. "I never intended to make a national issue of Mrs. Ei senhower's health," he said. "A few days ago someone asked me the perpetual ques tion if I think President Eisenhower will run for a second term and I cited the health of the President's wife as one of the many reasons why I think ho will not." The Democratic leader added that "it was my own personal belief that Mr. El senhower would not seek a econ,d term." For Contempt EL PASO. Tex. Wl Federal Judge R. E. Thomason Saturday upheld the conviction of union leader Clinton Jencks on charges of lying In a non-Communist affi davit and charged turnabout wit ness Harvey Matusow with crim inal contempt of court. The judge told Matusow: "You deliberately and mali ciously and designedly schemed to obstruct justice and caused the filing of an affidavit that ob tained this hearing on a motion for a new trial. You attempted to obstruct justice to set aside the conviction of Clinton Jencks to further your own personal ends." Matusow had been a principal witness in Jencks' trial here in January of 1954. Jencks was found guilty of ly ing when he signed an affidavit in 1950 swearing he was not a Communist. At the time he was president of Local 890 of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers at Bayard, N. M. Matusow in January this year repudiated his testimony against Jencks and against numerous others accused as Communists. The judge said Jencks had been "found guilty before a fair and impartial jury." The judge also barred from his court a top attorney for the mine mill union, Nathan Witt. Witt was called to the stand Saturday morning and declined to answer questions about possible Commu nist affiliation. Judge Thomason said, "No law yer who takes the witness stand and Invokes the Fifth Amend ment on grounds of self Incrimi nation" will be allowed to prac tice in this court. i t -I t H t 2.8 Persons Per Car!
