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." ,
