Education Conference

Washington (U.R) The Whitebe participants they wouldn t be
House Conference on Education
comes to grips next week with
one of the nation's most pressing
problems: What can be done to
improve our schools'
Discussions by delegates to the
conference will culminate the
greatest mass look in history at
the nation's educational system.
Well over half a million citizens
have tackled the same subject at
a series of state and local con
ferences in the past year.
School systems need help. The
nation is short 260,000 class
rooms and 141,300 qualified
teachers this year. Unless some
thing is done the situation will
get worse as millions more child
ren flock to school in the next
10 years.
Asked for Recommendations .
Conference delegates will be
asked to make specific recom
mendations to solve the schools'
problems and to include their
views on the touchy subject of
federal aid to education.
The conference, initiated
nearly two years ago, comes at
a time when the administration
is considering revising its pro
posal for federal aid to school
construction. Administration of
ficials will watch with interest
the delegates' stand.
The conference committee has
been accused of "stacking" the
session both for and against fed
eral aid. Committee officials
deny both allegations.
Wide Interest Range
The committee said it scrupu
lously abstained "from any inter
ference in selection of the 1400
delegates from the 53 states and
territories. About 300 other dele
gates were chosen to represent
a wide range of national educa
tion, labor, business, religious,
farm, welfare and other groups
interested in children and
schools. The remaining 300 parti
cipants will be members of Con
gress, governors, state education
chiefs and foreign observers.
Two Democratic members of
Congress, incidentally, turned
down invitations to sit as observ
ers. Reps. Cleveland M. Bailey

Wind, Rain, Storm
Mar Thanksgiving
Holiday in Oregon
About the only thing that
marred Thanksgiving 1955 in
Oregon was a wind and rain
storm that caused a few out
ages in the Portland area just
as hundreds of holiday dinners
were being prepared.
By early today the motor ve
hicles division teletype office at
Salem -had received no reports
of a fatal accident in the state.
Last year nine persons lost their
lives on the highways during
the Thanksgiving -week-end.
Quiet Holiday
Around the state the holiday
was one of quiet, thanks-filled
observances among families,
most of whom stayed at home,
off the highways and out of the
blustery weather. Police said the
heaviest traffic of the day in
most communites was noted at
church time late in the morning
Thursday.
The power outage in Portland
General Electric lines was
caused when the wind topped a
b'0-foot fir tree which took out
57,000 and 12,500-volt lines three
miles west of Oswego.
When the lines hit the wet
ground, two loud explosions
were heard and houses in the
vicinity were shaken. Traffic
was cleared from a nearby highway.
