Neuberger announced to day that 135,503 Oregon resi dents were receiving monthly Social Security benefits total ling $7.5 million monthly. In Jackson county, 5,747 recipients receive S304.926 each month, the senator reported. The Social Security figures for 1957, just released by the Department of Health, Edu cation, and Welfare, cover benefits for retired workers, wives or husbands, children, widows or widowers, mothers, parents and disabled workers. Social Security disability Planners Suggest Sireef Dedications The city planning commis sion has recommended that the city accept dedication of three streets being improved by school district 549C, Med lord, in connection with de velopment of the Wilson school. The streets are Corona ave. from Grand ave. to Mor row rd.; Johnson st. from Cor ona ave. to Velia ave.; and Velia ave. from Johnson st. to Morrow rd. The city council approved plans and specifications for the improvements last week. The planning commission made its recommendation at Monday night's meeting. benefits, for those totally dis abled between the ages of 50 and 64 are paid to 1,217 Ore gon workers. Senator Neuber ger co-sponsored this amend ment to the Social Security law which was adopted in 1956 and provides that total ly disabled workers over 50 years of age are eligible for benefits. Another Amendment Neuberger said that another 1956 amendment he sponsor ed, lowering the women's re tirement age to 62, means that some 300.000 women through out the country between the ages of 62-64 are receiving retirement benefits for the first time. "Because of the ever-increasing high cost of living," Neuberger said, "I am urging adoption of legislation now in the Senate to provide a cost-of-living increase in So cial Security benefits so that they will more adequately re flect today's needs." Marion B. Folsum. Secre tary of Health, Education, and Welfare, reported that more than 11 million persons are now receiving Social Security benefits at a monthly rate of S606 million. This repre sents an increase of 2 million beneficiaries as a result of 1956 amendments to the So cial Security law which pro vided coverage fo rthe first time to the self-employed, women aged 62-64, and total ly ' disabled workers aged 50-64.

Oregon Institutions May Get $500,000 for Student Purposes The National Cotton coun cil says more than 400 end uses for cotton have been de veloped in the last 10 years. By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington O r e g o n's state and private institutions of higher learning would be eligible for about $500,000 to 5700,000 annually in federal funds to offer students in the form of loans, under legisla tion which passed the House last week and is pending in the Senate, Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.) said she was in formed. The House and Senate bills are similar in most respects. except that the House ruled out giving ' scholarships to needy students and put the scholarshiD funds into the bill's student loan provisions. Administer Loan Oregon colfeges and univer sities would administer the loan funds pretty much as they see fit, determining who qualifies, as long as the stu dents are needy and do satis factory work. Each institution would be able to receive no more than $250,000 each year from the government for loans. The institution itself would be required to provide matching funds so that the total loan fund would contain no more than 75 per cent fed eral funds, no less than 25 per cent local funds. The student who borrows money from the loan fund could obtain no more than 51,000 each year and no more than 55,000 for all his years in school. He would be re quired to repay the loan over a period of 11 years follow ing graduation. While in school, he would pay interest on the loan at 2 per cent Of... rJl WW feM A GOOD RULE FOR HERE!

Fol lowing graduation, there would be a year of grace. Then for the next 10 years, the rate of interest would be 4 per -cent. Allotment Determined Each state's allotment un der the amount authorized by the bill would be determined bv the U. S. Office of Educa tion by comparing the num ber of students enrolled in institutions of higher learn ing in the state compared to the number enrolled nation ally. The Senate version contains S40 million for this program the first year, which would give Oregon about $489,000 that year. The House, by lumping scholarship funds into the loan program, in creased this first year figure to S47.5 million. Then for the next three years, the Senate version calls for S60 million annually for loans. Oregon's share each year would be about S600,000 of that amount. But the House has increased the second year figure to S75 million, of which Oregon would get close to 5700,000. the Office of Educa tion told Congresswoman Green. Expected lo Pass The Senate is expected to pass the bill and retain the scholarship grants for needy students, which will throw the bill into a conference for some. sort of compromise. The House knocked the scholar ship authorization out by a standing vote, 109 to 78. on a motion by Rep. Walter Judd (R-Minn.). The Senate bill provides for $17.5 million in scholarships annually for four years. Needy students could obtain up to $500 annually in these grants, and the institution the student is attending could add up to $500 annually in addi tion to each student's scholar ship. The House-passed bill also contains authorization for 1,000. fellowships of $2,000 each to train college teachers; $60 million in grants to states for scientific teaching equip ment, of which Oregon would be eligible for S619,000 a year; $15 million in grants to im prove testing and guidance programs; $6 million for teacher-training institutes in the guidance field, among other things. Opposed Deletion Mrs. Green, who was on the House Education Committee that drafted the bill, opposed deletion of the scholarship program but felt the resulting measure "is a very good bill. It represents real prograss, be cause this is the first time the House has ever passed a gen eral education bill." She said she thought the scholarship program was im portant because "it should be a congressional indication of the value we place on educa t i o n a 1 achievement. The scholarship would serve as sort of a prize. It would get students to work just a little harder. The scholarship is recognition of scholastic achievement. A loan is just recognition of financial need." Rep. Charles O. Porter (D Ore.) took the other position that loans were more desir able than scholarships. "I don't regard the prize aspect as very strong," said Porter. "The student ought to be glad to get a loan. It's an investment in his future. After getting a degree, he will probably have a better job and be able to repay it. And this will mean that the money can then be used by someone else. It will also save the government a lot of money." Amendment Attempt When the federal aid to edu cation bill' comes up in the Senate, an attempt may be made to add an amendment providing for a public school construction program. But Mrs. Green said, regretfully, that such a proposal would not gain House " approval at this time, hence could not be come law. The Eisenhower administra tion has made no request for a school construction program this year. The administration has asked for a scholarship program, but of less than half the proportions provided by the Senate bill. - While details remain to be worked out between the two yersions emerging from either chamber, it, appears almost certain that federal aid will this year be launched for the benefit of college students and teachers, if not for teachers ahd buildings in the elemen tary and secondary school field of education. - EN ROUTE TO THE MOON Dale Naylor, 14, of San Diego, Calif., put this kite up almost half a mile into the air, to where it was scaring the pilots of incoming air planes at Lindberg Field.
