Ex-Truman lEconom ist
Sees Gsreafc I ncrease
In Number of Jobless
Washington 0J.FD Leon
H. Keyserling, top economist in
the Truman administration, pre
dicted today that unemployment
will increase greatly this year.
The former chairman of Mr.
Truman's Council of Economic
Advisers took issue with Presi
dent'; Eisenhower's ; recent : opti
mistic report 'which was' high
lighted by a forecast of "a high
and satisfactory level of employ
ment and production within the
. current year..
Light Production Gain Seen .
. Keyserling . jtold the .Joint
Congressional Economic commit
tee prospects are the 1955 gain
in production will be only about
3 per cent, half of the increase
required to sustain a high level
of employment. "v .''
. "With automation and technol
ogy on the .march," he said,

. Salem U.R) State police
have asked the Legislature to
clarify the legality of radar as
a weapon against, speeders. The
Senate Roads and Highways
committee plans' to take a close
look at the State Highway de
partment's electronic equipment
this week before giving its de
cision. . ;-
City police in Portland, Salem
and Eugene are - using the gad
gets to check, speed and as a
basis for arrests of speeders. The
highway department also has
been using the device for some
time and now will meet with the
committee to help the senators
learn more about it.
naracore unemployment is
bound 'to increase greatly well
within 1955 unless the economy
expands morerapidly than any
current signs now indicate."
.- The CIO also charged Mr. Eis
enhower with "fallacious reason
ing." .
;wnen some economic ana
lysts see neither depression nor
inflation in sight, they conclude
the economy is healthy," Stan
ley H. Ruttenberg, CIO econo
mist, said.
"The economy still lags behind
the levels necessary to promote
maximum employment, produc
tion and purchasing power.".
Keyserling expressed - doubt
that the rate of the recent bus
iness upturn can be maintained
throughout 1955. Production of
new models of autos earlier than
usual was a major factor in the
recent upturn, he said. -Agrees
With Reports v. f
As to the importance- of this
factor, he greed with business re
ports issued Tuesday night by

trend continuing into this month.

Solution for Formosa
Chicago . U.R) - Ex-Gov:
Charles Sprague of Oregon said
yesterday that a proposal by
which three small countries
would " administer Formosa un
der 'United Nations sponsorship
was "one plan that looked to
the ultimate solution of the prob
lem." : v - --- -- -
Sprague said, however, that
the Formosan problem could not
be "rushed" toward solution. :
The three-country plan, pro
posed by Professor Nathaniel
Peffer of Columbia University,
"needs', consideration" Sprague
said. . . . . '
, He said the problem of For
mosa's relations with Red China
"needs to be settled by negoti
ation," but ' that this was - un
timely in view of "the pres
ent, temper of . the people." - l-.

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. -

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. .
The appointment of Soustelle
came only a few hours after the
Gaullists defiantly - said they
would withdraw from the gov
ernment unless, the French keep
control 62 ' another trouble-spot
in North Africa, Tunisia. ' ;
