Regard ing this, City superintendent James W. Bushong, presenting the arguments of the school board, has stated before various local groups: The tentative floor plans for this building call for a seat ing capacity of 2,148. A number of people have said that any new gym that is built should seat at least 3,000. However, I think it only fair to point out that 3,000 seats are not necessary to meet the requirements for physical education and therefore their cost should not be charged to education. Do the board and Mr. Bushong mean to suggest that 2,148 seats are necessary for physical education and that their cost should be charged to education? If they do not and it is hard to believe that this implica tion was intentional how do they justify the indebtedness for this purpose which school district taxpayers are being asked to assume? How do they justify the isolation of funds for non-education purposes when additional hundreds of thousands of dol lars must yet be spent to meet the basic requirements of education? LAKEVIEW'S MAIL PROPOSAL Temporarily the Lakeview effort to secure mail service from Portland by way of central Oregon points, including Bend, is on the shelf. Lakeview's needs are to be met by the addition of a night mail movement from Klamath Falls. Information from Lakeview indicates that this service will not satisfy the wishes of the community but it is being ac cepted pending further investigation. Lakeview's request was for a bus or truck movement of mail from Portland. The schedule proposed would bring mail into Bend soon after midnight and to Lakeview by 7 :30. Delivered here on that schedule the "working" of the local mail would be' started at 6 o'clock and delivery would be begun by the time of opening of the business day. Bend business men would, of course, like to have earlier mail delivery than is now possible. They would be glad to cooperate, too, in the promotion of an enterprise that would benefit so many neighboring communities both north and south. ; There is much more involved, however, than the simple schedule described. The subject needs thorough study before any sort of attitude toward it is taken. We hope the study will be given. .' MINIMUM ESSENTIALS PROGRESS Last year the minimum essentials test in arithmetic was introduced as a requirement for graduation from the local high school. The test was ridiculously simple, but 54 out of lid seniors failed to pass. There were subsequent ex aminations and eventually most of the fourth year students qualified for diplomas. M This year 134 took the test and 36 failed. They will,' of course, be given another opportunity for the purpose of the minimum essentials quiz is merely to assure that a student who finishes high school shall have a working knowledge of a useful and virtually necessary subject. The lower rate of failures in 1948 is encouraging. Mani festly it is still too high, but it shows progress. As the new system of check-ups at the end of term continues, still bet ter results are to be expected. A statistician has figured that in the 1947 sessions of congress senators took up more time in debate that did mem bers of the house. The average for each senator, it is re ported, was eight hours and 24 minutes. No figures have been worked up, unfortunately, on the average with Oregon's junior senator left out. 80 Farm Labor Offices Planned Salem, Ore, Jan. 21 IIP) Eighty slate employment service offices will be available through out the state next summer to aid In recruiting farm labor, the newly-formed state agricultural advisory council was told at Its first meeting yesterday.

Blames Higher Incomes For Meat Prices Chicago mi Hlsing incomes rather than a scarcity of meal is the cause of high meat prices, ac cording to II. 13. Arthur, econo mist for u meat packing concern. Arthur said government figures show that the consumer's dollar has doubled since l'.Ml, while meat supply has gone up only one quarter over the pre war level. He said he did not agree with economists who were calling this a hysterical run of inflation. He typed it as "the late stages of a typical business boom with com modity prices the sore spot." Promptly relieves coughs of TIGHT AftHHS CHEST COLDS Washington Column By Peter Edson (NE A Waslilntilon Correspondent) Washington ( NEA ) President Truman's budget message gives his answer to his two severest friends and best critics, Republi can presidential hopeful Sen. Rob ert Taft of Ohio, and New York's Chairman John laber of the house appropriations committee. Taft has charged that Truman's state of the union message .10 year plan "doubling Joe Stalin's bld"r-would cost "almost at once ten billion dollars a year more than we are now spending-; with later Increases to come." Honest John Tabor raised the bid. He said add $13 billion to the cost of gov ernment. Well, there's always room for a difference of opinion in the Unit ed States. But the president's budget message spells out in de tail Just what he had In mind. The total comes to $8 billion plus for the first year. These are obvious ly starting figures. European aid might bo reduced after the first year, but if the other initial out lays were granted by congress, the amounts for each item would have to go up in later years, as Taft says. This, however, is the way the president figures it out for year one of his 10-year plan: For foveien aid, Includ ing China $7,100,000,000 For universal military training 500,000,000 For national health pro gram 110,000,000 For nubile housing and public works 57,000,000 For aid to education and science re search 315,000.000 The total. ?S OS.OOO OOO. is two billion under Taft's $10 billion estimate- and less than half of Ta bor's $10 billion. Costs Estimated The wav Tabor figured it. uni versal mU'tary training would cost two billion, aid to education three billion, aid to public health and "socialized medicine" two- and-a-half billion, social security expansion two billion, housing three billion, foreign relief $6.8 billion total, $19.3 billion. Taft had an entirely different let of figures when he took to the air waves to answer the pres ident's state of the union message. He said universal military train ing' would cost two to four Ml- Hions, more than now being spent, which of course adds up to about the same as the $6.8 billion figure Tor the Marshall plan s first year. In past utterances, Taft has al ready committed himself to spend ing at least five-nnd-a-half billion 1ollar.s of government money for 'he verv things Harry Truman out in his 10-year plan. Last Oc tober, Taft said he thought four- and-a-half billion dollars ought to be enough foreign aid in any one year. Ever since the war. Taft has icon advocating a nubile housinr nroeram which he savs will cost "f.00 million the first year, dimin ishing thereafter he hoped as orlvate lnmistrv became encour aged to take over the business. On aid to education, Taft also has a bill. His 1-lea Is to give ernnts from the federal treasury to the poorer states, so that the iveraee expenditure rer pupil would bo raised to $80 a year. Tnft estimates this would cost S1:"0 million the first year $200 million the second and $250 mil lion a year thereafter. Compare bis with Truman's $300 million aid for education, plus $15 million for scientific rpwrufh. On a'd to health. Taft likewise hns a hMl. Her" he would also "ive rrantsinaid to the states for building hnsnltnls. providing mo'licM care for school ehildren nnd the poor, alillng voluntary health insurance Plans. He has nit the cost of this at $250 mll- 'lon a vear for five venrs. Com- onm -nii Truman's $110 million.

S. senate in 1946 and in sisted to go into the presidential contest as a "free lance," there were many politicians who shook their heads over his decision. He would be lost to the public eye and soon forgotten, they said. Bel ter for him to take a seat in the senate where the office would lend wings to his words. Events have not fulfilled the predictions of these wiseacres, otassen is quite In the public eye and has been for many months. He is moving about with growing sureness of foot. Alone among the candidates he has moved freely and expressed himself frankly In all sorts of situations: forums, press conferences, testimony be fore a senate committee. At the moment his name gets into head lines because of his charges of speculation by government insid' ers; but he has made progress on more tundamental issues aso. While Governor Dewey sits at Albany and avoids controversy Stassen wades into them and of ten comes up with a fresh, orig inal viewpoint. . It is true that Dewey berated the, Truman ad ministration, in his message to the New York legislature, but that was quite palpably partisan. Stas sen has in his speeches been try ing to stimulate new thinking among republicans. Stassen wants a positive, not a negative pro gram. He favors a bipartisan for eign policy which would embrace foreign aid. He proposes a new conference of United Nations in 1950 to strengthen the charter and end the single-power veto. Perhaps if he had gone to the senate Stassen would have had an audience, but he would not have had the freedom for travel and expression he has now. His open countenance and his frankness in discussion have won many per sonal friends and political sup porters. He still has high hurdles ahead to win the nomination Wyoming Books Given Clearance Laramie, Wyo., Jan. 21 Hi' Textbooks used in the social scl ence department of the Universltj, of Wyoming here had a clean bnl of health today. , In a report submitted to the school's board of trustees lasi night, a seven-man investigating committee of the faculty ot the state's only state college said n had found nothing "subversive or un-American" in the text books it probed. , , The probe was ordered a few months ago by the school's gov erning body, made up of appoint ed members from throughout the state.
