Congressman SAM COON
WASHINGTON, ft ft
THE HOUSE OF REPRESEN
TATIVES defeated the $1,600,000,
000 Federal aid to school con
struction bill by a vote of 224
to 194. It contained an amend
ment to deny school aid funds to
states which fail to comply with
the Supreme Court's Integration
decision. I voted for this amend-
. ment as a matter of principle, as
1 believe the Supreme Court's de
cisions should be upheld.

would not have helped the states
on the basis of their needs. The
Republicans tried to incorporate
into the bill the Eisenhower pol
icy of aid based on need. The
Democrats combined almost
unanimously to defeat our ef
forts. Many of us tried to guard
against the danger that this Fed
eral aid to construction program
could' be the entering wedge
leading to control of education by
bureaucrats in Washington.
Chairman Graham A. Barden of
our House Education and Labor
Committee introduced an amend
ment with the object of keep
ing Federal control of the pro
gram to a minimum. I voted
for this amendment, but it did
not pass.
Another amendment was intro
duced to return 1 of the Fed
eral income tax collections to the
states, to be used for school con
struction purposes, but with ab
solutely no strings attached. This
amendment also failed to pass.
I am a friend of education and
am deeply interested in seeing
that every American boy and girl
has the best of educational op
portunities. I arh a member of
the Education and Labor Com
mittee. I know local school
problems as I served for five
years on a local school board in
Baker County, and I feel very
strongly that we should not let
the Federal government enter
into control of our school sys
tems. This is a field where we
can manage our own affairs and
it should remain a state and
local responsibility without con
trols from Washington.
Because the construction aid
bill did not grant aid on a basis
of need, and because it opens the
door to more and more Federal
control of education, I voted
against the bill.
THE RURAL ELECTRIFICA
TION ADMINISTRATION has
loaned nearly $4 million in our
district since January 1, 1953 for
the improvement of rural electric
service. Lines have been extend
cd to serve many more people in
central and eastern Oregon.
The most recent REA loan in
our- district was made to the
Central Electric Co-Op of Red
mond which services areas in
Jefferson, Crook, Grant, Deschu
tes, Wasco and Harney Counties.
The $156,000 loan will be used
for general system Improvements
and to build 20 miles of distribu
tion lines. These will bring ser
vice to 67 new members.
The following Electric Cooper
atives in our district have also
benefitted from REA loans: Uma
tilla in Hermiston, Columbia Ba
sin in Heppner, Wasco in The
Dalles, Eastern Oregon in Pen
dleton, Columbia Power in Monu
ment, Midstate in Lapine and
Harney in Burns.
MANY WARM SPRINGS AND
KLAMATH INDIANS would be

the ages of 8 to 35.

Stress Rapid Gains;
Hormone Use Checked
Fast, economical gains in beef
animals appear linked to an
other desirable trait in livestock
superior ability to convert
high-protein feeds to lean meat
rather than fat.
Two Oregon State college ani
mal scientists, Ralph Bogart and
Hugo Krueger, report a close tie
between rapid beef gains and
tendencies of some animals to
Baker, Mr. Richard McDaniel of
Wallowa, and Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam C. Price and family from
Eugene. Mr. Price is associate
professor of journalism at the
University of Oregon.
retain high quantities of protein
in the body, converting it to
meaty tissue.
Slow-gaining test calves tend
ed to build body fat at an earlier
age, and urimalysis showed body
loss of a high percentage of nit
rogen or "unused" protein.
The less efficient animals gave
off one-fourth more urea nitro
gen than did the fast-gaining
group. Bogart and Krueger test
ed about 50 Hereford and Angus
calves that were fed a high pro
tein ration of pelleted chopped
alfalfa and concentrates. Ani
mals were put on the test at 500
pounds body-weight and fed to
800 pounds.
Bull calves rationed a higher
ratio of nitrogen than did heifers.
Bogart says further tests will be
conducted to see how much feed
efficiency of heifers can be Im
proved by feeding or Injecting
them with various hormones.
Other tests in progress with
mice and rabbits indicate that
the key role of protein synthesis
in animals may stem from high
or low activity of the pituitry,
thyroid, and adrenal glands that
secrete hormones into the blood
stream. Animal science is moving
rapidly in use of hormone ad
ditives to speed growth rates, Bo
gart stated, and "we hope to get
some basic information on how
high the level of treatment can
go without danger of back-firing."
' The federal food and drug
administration is keeping tight
reins on hormone treatment of
livestock until more is learned of
possible hormone residues in ani
mal products.

Xhere's no doubt about it The modern auto
matic washer does a pretty thorough Job on a
Savings Bond. But it takea more than damp
neas or detergents to destroy ka value.
This photograph shows what happened when a .
U. S. Savings Bond, left by mistake in a man's
shirt pocket, went through the family washing
machine. It looked like a real blue Monday for
that Bond-owning family -until they told their
story to the U. S. Treasury. The Government
replaced the Bond. The family, realising more
than ever the value and safety of Bond owner
ship, stepped p their regular BonoVbtryi&g
program. And they all Ured happily ever after.
This little story, which is a true one, illustrates
why Bonds are said to be "Safer than Cash."
Each year the Treasury replaces thousands of
Bonds lost either through carelessness or through
the whims of nature. Every major flood, tornado,
explosion or fire brings a wave of applications
for Bond replacement.
So here's something to remember. Any of jrow
Savingt Bond that are lost, tide or destroyed
will be replaced by the United States Treasury
without charge. .
U. S. Savings Bonds are not only safer than cash
but one of the best investments you can make.
You can be sure of the principal, ture of the
returns (an average Z interest when held to
maturity) -and ture of the future when you
invest regularly in Savings Bonds.
So start investing in Savings Bonds today either
on the Payroll Savings Plan where you work or
at your bank. That's the safe and sure way to
than up.
