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

uses for cotton have been de

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

but need not pay any prin
cipal during that period. 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. -
