EOsworth o Vote With SGnie leSyctance
for Federal Aid To Education Measure
By A. Robert Smith
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington - Rep. Harris
Ellsworth (R-Ore.) said he is
"going to vote with some reluc
tance" for fed
eral aid to ed
ucation, which
he fears "is a
very danger
ous proposi
tion." In a confer
ence with ' a
group of 18
Oregon' school
a. Robt. smith adminis
trators, Ellsworth and other
members of the Oregon . con
gressional delegation outlined
their viewpoints on this contro
versial issue. "
"Maybe I'm seeing a goblin
which isn't, there," Ellsworth
said, "but I think this will lead
to the states shoving the prob
lem of school construction over
on to the federal government.
And every time we do that we
weaken the republic and the 48
states."
Democratic leaders in con
gress are pressing for House ac
tion on a bill reported out of the
House Education committee last
session. President Eisenhower
has asked for approval of a dif
ferent aid plan. Oregon would
get about $1,500,000 more each
year tinder the Democrats', bill.
Supports Highway Bill ;
' When Ellsworth expressed his
reluctance to support aid for ed
ucation, Don Campbell, superin-
. tendent of Park Rose district
hear Portland, asked if he was
just as reluctant to vote for fed
eral aid for state highway con
struction. -
The congressman said he fully
supported federal highway aid,
which he regarded as quite dif
ferent from school construction
aid.
- When Rep. Sam CoonR-6re.)
told the group that he was plan
ning to vote against the aid bill
for reasons similar to those ex
pressed by Ellsworth concern
ing the philosophy of federal
aid for education, Superinten
dent Tom Powers of Eugene said
he couldn't understand how
members of Congress could take
that attitude when they have al
ready approved a number of
federal plans, such as school
lunch aid, under which local
public schools are assisted by
the federal government.
; Sen. Richard L. Neuberger
(D-Ore.) said he thought federal

aid was needed because "the
vast wealth of the country is
concentrated in about eight hea
vily industrialized states, and
only the federal taxing power
can distribute that wealth. So
the only way Oregon schools
can lay claim to part of that
wealth is through some sort of
federal distribution."
Congressman Ellsworth re
plied that "if we were doing
that in this'school bill, I'd like it
all right. But I think the bill
merely collects the money and
then turns it back to the
states."
Ellsworth scoffed at the argu
ment that this was slated as an
emergency program to last less
than five years, contending that
once it was started it would .be
difficult to terminate it at any
time. "I think we. are playing
with dynamite," he told the
school men. ' - '
Reps. Edith Green (D-Ore.)
and Walter Norblad (R-Ore.)
joined Neuberger in announc
ing their intent to vote for the
aid bill. Mrs. Green said the
Democrats' Kelley bill protect
ed local school districts against
federal control by allocating
funds directly to the state, so
that state officials would decide
how it should be spent . among
the various districts as they do
with state funds today..
All the members except Neu
berger said they would vote for
the - proposed Powell amend
ment, which would forbid use of
funds by states which had not
abolished racial segregation in
their public schools. Neuberger
said if the Powell amendment is
adopted, he thought the educa
to'n bill would be filibustered to
death in the Senate by. Southern
Democrats. The school men said
they, too, opposed the Powell
amendment for the same reas
Dulles', Optimistic Statements
Said Endangering Foreign Policy
Washington ttl.R) Sen.
Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) warn
ed today that Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles may be en
dangering the foreign aid pro
gram with overly optimistic
statements about success of U.S.
foreign policy.
Senate Democrats showed no
signs of letting up their intense
attack on Dulles. Sen. J. Wil
liam Fulbright (D-Ark.) carried
the attack to a new height Mon
day when he accused Dulles in
a Senate speech of trying to
show that "Soviet triumphs are
really defeats and western de
feats are really triumphs."
Dulles Gets Chance
Some Republicans were pre
paring to answer Fulbright. But
they appeared to be waiting un
til Dulles got a chance to make
his own answer at a press con
ference today.
v Mansfield supported Ful
bright Monday when the Ark
ansas senator challenged Dulles
to tell the nation the "truth"
about foreign affairs and "not
treat us as cmiaren, reaay to
clap in delight at every fairy
story, however fanciful."
-Most of the attack was cen
tered on Dulles' testimony Fri
day before the Senate Foreign
Relations committee. , Dulles
maintained then that Russia has
changed its tactics in world af
fairs because of the success of
Eden Says Soviets
In for Discussion
London -IflJ.R) Prime Min
ister Anthony . Eden served no
tice, today that the Soviet lead
ers are : in for "serious discus
sions" that, may dispel some of
their "fantastic" illusions when
they visit Britain in April.
Eden cut loose with a series
of acid comments on recent So
viet speeches last night as he
wound up House of Commons
debate on foreign affairs. Par
liamentary observers called it
today one of the best speeches
Eden has made since he became
Prime Minister
Former Prime Minister Win
ston ChurchilI sat in his back
bench and grinned in apprecia
tion as Eden warned Soviet Pre
mier Nikolai Bulganin and Com
munist party boss Nikita S,
Khrushchev that the Commun
ist camp was not invincible.
Eden backed up an earlier
speech by Foreign Secretary
Selwyn Lloyd in which Lloyd
confirmed ihat the invitation to
Bulganin , and Khrushchev to
visit Britain still stands despite
their series of , anti-Western
speeches. They, arrive April 18
for eight days.
Stevenson Suggests
Racial Meeting
New York iaj.P. Adlaf Stev
enson suggested last night that
President Eisenhower use the
prestige of his office to call a
meeting of southern white and
Negro leaders "before the situa
tion gets out of hand."
: Stevenson, who is campaign
ing for the Democratic presiden
tial nomination, told newsmen
he has been "very disturbed by
mounting tensions in the South"
and said "I think the situation
merits the prompt , attention of
the President" to avoid further
disorder and damage to the na
tion's reputation abroad."
Stevenson was iri New York to
meet campaign workers and to
plug his new book, "What I
Think," a collection of his
speeches and articles since his
unsuccessful presidential bid in
1952.

U. S. foreign policy. Democrats
immediately took exception.
Weakening of Support
. Mansfield said he thought the
most unfortunate results of Dul
les' remark would be a weaken
ing of congressional support for
the already embattled foreign
aid program. "
, Fulbright charged that Dulles
"misleads public opinion, con
fuses it, feeds it pap, tells it
that if it will suppress the proof
of its own senses, it will see that
Soviet triumphs are really, de
feats and Western defeats '. are
really triumphs." .
There was no reply from the
state department pending Dul
les' news conference.
