Money for Education One of Big Problems for State Legislature
By DICK HUMPHREY
United Press Correspondent
Salem U.PJ Education is one
of those problems that makes
you wish Oregon had huge oil
reserves like California.
More than 50 per cent of the
state's tax revenue goes to pay
for education. It accounts for
about half of the $38 million in
crease in the state's new S260
million budget for 1957-59.
It doesn't take U.S. census fig
ures to show where the problem
comes from. All you have to do
is go out in the street. Kids
everywhere. They add up to new
plans and teachers, local taxes
and state aid in ever increasing
amounts.
Leaders Organized
School leaders are organized
to bring these problems to the
State Legislature which meets
here today. And they undoubted
ly will have the ear of Gov. Rob
ert D. Holmes, regarded as a
champion of education through
out his eight years in the State
Senate.
Incoming Gov. Holmes is com
mitted to increasing basic school
aid from $80 to $120 per census
child. Outgoing Gov. Elmo
Smith also favors increasing the
basic school support fund to
equalize sharing between the
state and local districts.
Many legislators, Democrat
and Republican, agree with the
two leaders. But it's a matter of
finding $40 million to pay for it
in the next biennium
Smith Poses Problem
Gov. Smith put the problem
thus in his budeet message: "If
the people of the state wish this
additional expenditure, a source
of revenue to produce it must be
found
The proposed budget provides
$77,361,760 for basic school sup
port, an increase of $a,840,640
over the current biennium. This
increase is automatic and fixed
by statute.
With the backing of the Legis
lative Interim Committee on Ed
ucation and other school groups,
basic school support will be
pushed hard this year.
The fly in the legislative oint
ment, aside from finding $40
million, probably will be decid
ing how it will be distributed.
Considerable pressure has de
veloped outside Portland, to dis
tribute more of the money to
poorer districts. But schoolmen
themselves find it hard to agree
Sen. McCarthy Raps
Ike's Adviser Team
Washington U.PJ Sen. Jo
seph R. McCarthy said Sunday
night that President Eisenhower
is lurrounded by a "dangerous
. .'. motley crowd" of advisers
and that the President's brother
"tops the list."
The controversial Wisconsin
Republican told newsmen that
Mr. Eisenhower's brother, Mil
ton, president of Johns Hopkins
, university, is "no more a Repub
lican than you are a Hottentot."
McCarthy said that Dr. Mil
ton Eisenhower has been iden
tified In the past with "extreme,
radical left wing" groups.
McCarthy also named as mem
bers of what he called the White
House "palace guard" Presiden
tial Assistant Sherman Adams,
C. " D. Jackson, former White
House aide, and Paul Hoffman,
a member of the U.S. delegation
to the U.N. General Assembly.
McCarthy described Hoffman,
a persond friend of the Presi
dent's, as a "throwback on the
human race" and referred to
Adams as "what's his name
from New Hampshire."
Harsh on Stassen
McCarthy also had some harsh
things to say about Harold E.
Stassen, the President's disarm
ament adviser. He said Stassen
has been urging that the United
States stop experimenting with
H-bombs and intercontinental
missiles.
He noted that Democratic
presidential candidate Adlai E.
Stevenson bad urged a ban on
H-bomb tests and said Stassen
had "adopted the Stevenson pro
gram except he goes further.''

on a formula.
Increases proposed for higher
education are also dramatic. The
new budget allows 547,914,000,
a reduction of $2,430,000 from
the board of higher education's
request, but an increase of $13,
227,(100 or 44 per cent over the
present biennium.
Asks Funds for Salaries
Chancellor John R. Richards
is asking for S3 million to bring
lagging Oregon salaries within
striking distance of states with
whom we must compete for
teachers. That's a 15 per cent in
crease, but Gov. Smith's budget
provides for only a 10 per cent
hike.
Cut to $10 million was a build
ing program of more than S14
million. But this compares with
only $3,975,000 appropriated by
the 1955 legislature.
Gov. Holmes may desire to re
store these cuts to give full value
to what Chancellor Richards
calls his "shock" budget. -
Besides enrollment that is ex
pected to rise 3,519 students or
19 per cent in the next two years
and the lag in faculty salaries,
Richards says two other factors
make his shock budget neces
sary.
' They are continuing rising
prices that must be paid for sup
plies and equipment and the
need for recouping from small
appropriations made in 1955.
Service and utility structures
on various campuses lead higher
education building priorities,
followed by a classroom build
ing for Portland State, a physics
chemistry building at Oregon
State, and other structures. Tax
help is also being asked for the
first time for dormitory con
struction. Richards and other educators
agree that the mood of the peo
ple and the legislature sterns fa
vorable to education in general
this year. The will seems to be
there If a way can be found.
But until the legislature strips
its collective sleeve to pan for
the gold, we'll have to leave all
the kids huddled around a pho
nograph listening to a tune
Elvis Presley pleading ''money
honey."
