Aid Said Too Little,
Too Much Control in
School Building Plan
Washington (U.R) The Na
tional Educational Associa
tion told Congress today that
President Eisenhower's plan to
help states build more schools
offers "too little aid and too
much control" by the federal
government.
William G. Carr, executive
secretary of the teaching group
which claims 570,000 members,
said the NEA can not support
the President's program as it
now stands. He called the Presi
dent's proposals "untested and
hastily formulated."
. Carr's statements were con
tained in testimony prepared
for delivery before the Senate
Labor Committee. The group is
considering a bill to carry out
Mr. Eisenhower's plan for pro
viding $1,120,000,000 in federal
aid mostly loans over a three
year period to stimulate a
$7,000,000,000 over-all invest
ment in school buildings.
Fails To Proiride Assistance
"The purpose of the bill is
stated as being 'to provide assist
ance of a substantial and effec
tive nature.' It will not provide
such assistance," Carr said.
Spokesmen said the NEA
never before has expressed out
right opposition to a school aid
bill. They commented, however,
that no previous administration
has come forward with a detail
ed blueprint fori helping the
schools, although former Presi
dent Truman did recommend aid
in a budget message.
Carr said the NEA tradition
ally has supported school aid
proposals along lines laid down
by the late Sen. Robert A. Taft
(R-O.) and Elbert Thomas (D
Utah), both former chairmen of
the Senate committee, and by
Sen. Lister Hill (D-Ala.). Hill is
the present chairman.
Studied by Panel
The President's new program,
he said, has been studied by a
panel of NEA experts who have
concluded that it departs from
the Taft-Thomas-Hill principles
and from those embraced by
NEA. . '
Carr said he hopes for sub
stantial modifications in the ad
ministration bill to "provide
some genuine federal assist-
Three Sisters Timber
Harvest Plan Attacked
Eugene (U.R) A proposal to
increase the amount of land that
can be used for timber harvest
in the Three Sisters area came
under fire at a public hearing
here yesterday .
The U. S. Foresf Service pro
posal would reduce the western
section of the Three Sisters
primitive area by 53,380 acres.
Biologists and zoologists from
the University of Oregon and
Oregon State College said part
of the area the forest service
wants to cut from the primitive
area was a natural laboratory
for the study of plants, insects
and geologic formations.
Dr. Edgar Wayburn, San
Francisco, president of the Fed
eration of Western Outdoor
Clubs, said that Oregon's only
first-class low wilderness coun
try was to be found within the
primitive reserves. George Hol
comb, editor of the International
Woodworker, also opposed the
proposal.
Chamber Retail Committee
Sets Events in Coming Year

another in a series of articles, prepar

ance." Without such modifica
tions, he said, there is "little
or no reason why we should
support it."
Recently appointed by Cham
ber of Commerce President John
Pletsch was the chairman of the
Retail Merchants committee,
Howard Boyd, manager of F. W.
Woolworth company in Medford
for the past six years. This is
Boyd's second year as chairman.
Boyd, who came here from
San Luis Obispo, Calif., has
worked with the Woolworth
company for over 25 years. He
carries a life membership in the
Globe, Ariz., Elks lodge and also
helped organize the Chamber of
Commerce there. He is a member
of the Episcopal church.
A stepped-up retail program is
scheduled for the year 1955, be
ginning with a special event for
March 12 featuring "Spring
comes to Medford" (which it un
doubtedly will). The event will
feature Easter basket displays
in downtown store windows en
tered by school students of the
county. Prizes are being offered
to interested students in the Eas
ter basket contest.

Hvasfa Favors
Ike-Zhukov Meeting
Los Angeles (U.R) John
Hvasta, who was imprisoned
three years behind the Iron Cur
tain on trumped up spy charges,
says President Eisenhower
should meet with the Soviet's
Marshal Zhukov to effect the
release of American fliers in Red
China.
Hvasta, 27, now a student at
the University of Southern Cali
fornia, spoke at a church meet
ing yesterday. He said the time
has come "to organize public
opinion to gain the release of
our fliers who are still prisoners
of the Reds."
The student proposed "that
President Eisenhower meet in
conference with Marshal Zhu
kov concerning specifically the
fate of our fliers." He said Zhu
kov is the man to stand up to
and demand the release of the
airmen. .
An American citizen, Hvasta
was seized as a spy in 1948 while
studying in Czechoslovakia and
working part time for the con
sulate general. He escaped three
I years later and took asylum in
the U.S. Embassy in Prague.
