o o Educational System Bills Face Uphill right in Congress Washington-(CQ) - Bills to jack up the Nation's educa tional system as recommended In the Killian report face an uphill fight in Congress. The President's Science Ad visory Committee, headed by Dr. James R. Killian, Jr., May 24 said the annual investment in me u.s. educational sys- ' tern should be at least doubled. But hmr the job should be dqne ana by whom are the big questions plaguing the school bills currently pending in Congress. 1 The Murray-Metcalf bill is the measure farthest along the legislative road. It has been approved by the Democratic majority on the House Educa- Hsrn Committee and now must clear the conservative-dominated House Rules Committee to get to the floor for a vote. The Senate is waiting for the House to act. The bill would &ve states $2!$nor each of their school- age cnudren. rne money, amounting to $4.4 billion over four years, could be used for school construction, teachers' salaries or both. The state would not haye to put up any money of iliown to qualify for the Federal aid. Liberal Democrats and the National Education associa tion, representing 616,000 teachers, are the bill's princi pal backers Principal oppon ents include Republicans, con servatfyb Democrats and the Chamber of Commerce of 1e Salary Controversy The most controversial pro vision in the Murray-Metcalf bill authorizes tfes federal Government to spend public money on teachers' salaries, Rep. Peter Frelinghuysen Jr, (R-N.J.), Eisenhower Adminis tration spokesmaoon educa 7 tion matters, claims subsidiz- lng teachers might lead to Fed eral proficiency standards be cause it would be "a natural thing to look at the adequacy of the teachers" see that the money was wen spent. Rep. Frank Thompson Jr. (D-N.J.), co-author of the House bill and its probable floor manager, counters that "the Federal Government would never attempt to estab lish standards of proficiency in teaching." Thompson and other backers of the bill con tend only the Federaf Govern ment has the resources to do job Of raising teachers' sal aries. They maintain the states and communities have raised all the money they can for schools and teachers' pay. However, there is a strong possibility that the teachers' salary provision will be drop ped in order to widen support for the bill. Even with the salary pro visions knocked outr the bill is not likely to win over Re publicans. - Frelinghuysen insists there should be a matching require ment in any school construc tion bill. "Without it," he said, "there isn't any question that to some extent the Federal money is going to be. used in stead of what would be made available at the local or state level." William G. Carr, executive secretary of the National Edu cation association, counters that the bill's penalty formula would keep states from relax ing their efforts. The provi sion authorifes reducing Fed eral allotments to states that do not spend enough of their own money on schools. The Chamber of Commerce, credited with a part in killing the 1957 school construction bill, would not support the Murray-Metcalf bill even if it were amended to require matching funds. The Chamber claims ther is no defined emergency to warrant Federal aid to education. Eisenhower's ltiiud . President Eisenhower this year has not repeated earlier pleas for legislation providing states with Federal mdhey to build schools. Instead of such capital grants his 159 recom mendations call for helping communities pay jpff school construction bonds. Asked about the over-all out look for some kind of Federal help for education, Freling huysen said "the only patch of blue, sky that I see" is a statement by Thompson that there still is room for com promise. "There are so many uncertainties," Frelinghuysen said, "that I am not optimis tic." , Congressional Quarterly Inc.) it .J vs Sr-t-. -T. 1 i -" it it CLEARING PATH through ice-covered Antarctic waters, U.
