Hearing Slated on FinancingEducation Building Program Salem CU.PJ A proposal to finance Oregon's mammoth ed ucational building program with a bond issue will be open to pub lic hearing next Tuesday before the House Taxation Committee. "Rep. Loran L. Stewart of Cot tage Grove, chairman of the House Taxation Committee, said interested t persons would - be. asked to testify on the proposed measure which was recommend ed . by Gov. Paul L. Patterson in his inaugural message. Interest Cost Figured Rep. Walter J. Pearson, for mer state treasurer who is chair man of a subcommittee investi gating the plan, said the' bond issue envisioned in the gover nor's plan .would probably cost 234 per cent interest. "If it is floated at the rate of 3A per cent of the state's assessed valua tion, it would produce some $14, 200,000 in revenue". That would barely cover the first 10 pro jects given top priority by , the State Board of Control. - The bond issue under study now would not include finances for the '.Board ,of Higher Edu cation, building' program. .' Only Apparent Way ' . ' " Pearson,, a Democrat said the bond issue 1 was the only ; appar ent way to achieve the Board of Control's goal . of adequate in stitutional housing. He likened it to an individual's mortgage on a home over a 20-year peri od. . .The taxation committee agreed to subject all tax exemptions to intensive scrutiny; the next few week&r particularly : in the ad valorem field in; an effort to block any loopholes that could yield. - additional tax revenues. Pearson is also chairman of a subcommittee .that will under take the task. - Beck To Get Hearing On Loan Complaints Miami Beach - U.R) D,ave Beck, head of the AFL Team sters Brotherhood, will be given a s hearing tomorrow, to answer complaints that he. violated his union's constitution by making a $1,500,000 loan of union funds.

Schools' Money Heeds Described by Officer Of Education Group About 50 persons met at the Rogue Valley Country dub last night , to hear Warren Tinker, Portland, ..president of the. Ore gon Education association, tell of the financial . problems facing the schools of the state. ; The meeting, sponsored bjf the OEA, drew school officials, Parent-Teacher association ' repre sentatives, and 6thers from Jack son and Josephine counties. Mrs. Paul . Smith, a teacher at Med ford - High school and - county unit president of the OEApre sided. . ; - -t Tinker presented no argu ments for any particular tax program,' but confined himself to explaining the OEA's - "Operation- Information," which , is a presentation of facts of state taxation and expenditures, of statistics : showing the present status of the schools, and pro jecting : their needs into the future. , Tinker pointed out that earlier Cease Fire Resolution Introduction Expected ' London (U.R) Authoritative sources said today it is "80 per cent certain" , that New Zealand will introduce a Formosa 'cease fire resolution' in the -U.N. Se curity; Council this week. v-' -' The sources said the resolu tion probably will be introduced Friday. "The main question now is how such a resolution , could be framed to make it difficult' for Communist 'China to -.refuse," the sources said. ' : ' Peiping Radio again attacked the -planned resolution, calling it "a vicious scheme of the Unit ed States to partition Chinese territory and extend its aggres sion against China." . in the century, schools of Ore gon were receiving one out of each three dollars of tax money. Today, he said, schools receive only one out of eight dollars of tax-raised money. , ' ; He v also pointed out - that in 1942 there were 200,000 students enrolled in Oregon - schools; in 1952 there were 300,000, and by 1962 there will be some 500,000. Simply . to v accommodate this growth will cost additional mil lions of dollars, he said. . 17-Year Lag ;-i -f. ; Part of the huge building pro gram in which the. schools are now engaged, and which must continue, is ; caused by a 17 year lag in school construction, caused by the depression in the 30s and the war in the early 40s. In addition to this, there is the "boom" in the birth-rate, : plus high in-migration figures in Ore gon, which adds to the needs of the schools. .-' . Many teachers left the profes sion during the war years, and there remains an acute and un filled need for more to enter the profession. Conditions necessary to attract them are another fac tor in the problem of school fi nance, Tinker said. Increasing Attention . He pointed out ; that increas ing attention is being paid to this big-over-all problem, but that there are no easy answers. His talk last night was the second in a series of five he is making throughout the state, at the same time as four other OEA officials are also making five talks each, thus "covering -. the whole state through similar meetings. ; The project was originally mo tivated by the OEA's discovery that too many people simply do not know the facts of school fi nance and taxation, Tinker stated, and ' that for adequate support of the schools, public ac ceptance of their needs is neces sary. - ' ": France Sends tley Governor General To Help Algeria Paris (U.R) : France's cab inet sent a new governor gen eral to Algeria today, a leading member of the party " that de mands firmer action in the na tion's North African troubles. . ' 1 After a session that lasted past midnight, Premier Pierre Men- des-France's ministers approved Gaullist Deputy : Jacques Sous- telle to succeed Roger Leonard in the Algerian trouble spot. It was the last meeting of Mendes-France's cabinet. A new cabinet now takes over. . The appointment of Soustelle was regarded as a . concession to the Gaullists who have been critical of Mendes-France's polic ies in North Africa since .the outbreak of violence in Algeria last November. . Another -Support Move -, I In another move to woo Gaul list support, the government ap pointed Pierre de Gaulle, broth er of Gen; Charles de Gaulle, as commissioner general "of the Brussels University Exposition which is to be held in 1958. .
