Death Reported - Friends here have learned of the death last Sunday of Ernest G. Waters, Park Ridge, 111.,, a former resident of Medford. Mr. Waters was a civil engi neer with the California Ore gon Power company for about six years before moving to Chicago In 1927. In recent years he was a consulting en gineer. He was a frequent visitor in Medford, the last time a year ago. "My properly taxes have been hiked three times in the Past five years. They're so ntgn now i can naraiy anora to keep my home. And I am constantly besieged with ap- peals for contributions to col leges and private school sys tems. It seems to me that we are spending an awful lot of money on schools. Yet I keep reading about a financial crisis in education. What's it all about? A g o o d many Americans are asking that question. If you're one of them, and If you really want to know the answer, you must be prepared to wade through a mass of big figures. ' ' To-wit: The United States is cur rently spending about $22 bil lion a year on education. The total includes, in round fig ures, $14 billion for public schools, $4 billion for paroch ial and private elementary and high schools, and $4 bil lion for public and private colleges and universities. Not Big Sum In terms of America's pres ent wealth, $22 billion is not a big sum to be spending on education. It represents about four per cent of the nation's total output of goods and services. It is just a little more than Americans spend on liquor and cigarettes, and only about half as much as they spend on leisure-time ac tivities. The R u s s ia n s are spending at least 10 per cent of their gross national prod uct on education. U.S. educational costs are going to rise steeply during the next 10 years, regardless of whether any special effort is made to improve schools. Conserva tive projections, based on simple continuation of present trends in teacher pay, classroom construction and enrollment, indicate that spending will rise to at least $35 billion a year by 1970. Must Do Belter But nearly all educators, and many outside experts who have studied the prob lem, are convinced that America must do much better Investment Funds Noon quotations on selected funds: Fund Bullock Hid Asked 12 27 13 45 10 78 11 63 11.78 12 85 23 17 24 78 1489 1610 8 50 9.32 11.114 13.08 8119 85 8.78 9 62 7 73 8 47 1871 1713 0 40 10 26 14 11 15 32 18 33 20 00 11.30 12.40 13 03 14 31 13.47 13 81 14 10 1524 7 74 8 44 3 17 3 65 13 68 14 91 Colonial Ener Eaton Howard Stk .

Murk Hut field reported here yesterday on the work of his administra tion to Induce new industries to locate in Oregon. He addressed a joint noon luncheon of Medford Rotary and Kiwunis clubs at Rogue Valley Country club. Final determination in bringing new industries to Oregon rests with the com munity, Hatfield declared. He expressed belief that Oregon is "on the threshhold uf one of the greatest economic breakthrouuhs the state has ever experienced." The gov ernor predicted that "we are going to see progress which is going to make the first cen tury of Oregon look very small." Important To Prepare "It is important, he suid, fur each community to gird it self and get ready for this breakthrough. Hatfield referred to Ore gon's financial soundness and to his administration's philos ophy on public welfare in dis cussing the question put to a 20-member Oregon team by industry representatives in New York and Chicago last March. And two or three of than continue present trends. They say, in all soberness, that national survival may hinge on achieving a very sharp improvement over the next few years in teaching salaries at all levels from kindergarten through college, and a rapid expansion of the physical plant available to handle the ever-growing school population. To reach these goals will require an outlay for educa tion on the order of $45 to $50 Billion a year by the end of tnis necaae. Where is the money coming from? Some of it doubtless will be raised by still-higher local property taxes and by in creased voluntary contribu tions to private schools. But, as the Puzzled Citizen rue fully observed, these two turnips are already being squeezed pretty hard. There are two other possi bilities. One is more state support. While local school districts must rely almost exclusively on the properly tax, states can raise money in a variety of ways, including income and sales taxes. Some states are already paying a substantial share of school costs. But the LUNCH SPECIALS EVERY WEEK DAY 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Cafeteria Style ft WANT JUST A SANDWICH?

The governor reported that the $20 million surplus would result under careful manage ment and economies of his ad ministration. This he men tioned In contrast to the ex pressions of some people that $70 million to $80 million in new monies would be needed. When Progress Comes "We believe that progress comes when men are creat ing," Hatfield stated in lead ing up to the matter of public welfare. He recognized the need of welfare help for people such as the aged and infirm. "We do not believe," he remarked, however, "in a man sitting in a rocking chair when there might be jobs available." Thu governor advocated work projects "in every single coun ty" uf the slate so that men can work for welfare checks rather than having them just handed to them. Industrial d e v e 1 o pmcnl, Hatfield stated, has to take part in all areas of the state to stabilize the economy of the state as a whole. He said that bringing in or giving im petus to new industry in Ore gon was No. 1 project of his administration. "We are work ing for the entire state," he stressed. Telling of stale efforts to average state contributes less than 40 per cent of the funds required by its public school system. Some contribute less than 10 per cent. More Federal Burden The other possibility is for the Federal Government to assume, as a permanent bur den, a substantial share of the costs of education. Somo Americans strongly oppose this step on the grounds that it would further what they reaarrl ns a rlnnuornus trend . toward centralization of pow- r,r and resDonslbililv in the national government. Others say that the Federal Gov- ( eminent, which collects three fourths of all tax dollars in this country, is the anly agen cy which can supply the kind of money required to under write an adequate education al system. One point should be clear to the Puzzled Citizen: ; If America is to devote a larger share of Its total re sources to education-as near ly all authorities agree 11 must-the additional money will iiave to be extracted from the economy in some way. And no painless method of extraction has ever yet been devised in the realm of public finance. OFFERED BY THE S BROILER 1206 N.

On the March trip of the state department of plunning and development team to pre sent tile Oregon story in the east, the governor reported a 50 per cent return on invita tions. Luncheons were held two days ut New York and one day at Chicago to demon strate what (lie slate has to offer industry. Hatfield said that 16 new contacts were made by the development committee. He stressed thai the test is ill the follow up. Ho mentioned the long range program and said there are all indications of a "great breakthrough." Great Even Decision to establish a med ical research center under ad ministration of University of Oregon medical school was de scribed by Hatfield as one of the greatest events in the last 50 years ill Oregon. He said that three canters had been planned in this country, but that, instead, one big center would be established on a 163 acre plot. Analysis of tile Oregon sit uation showed dependence on season enterprises in the state's economic life, the gov ernor brought out. He said it became obvious that the state would have to have diversifi cation to stabilize the econ omy. He spoke of tho decision to use a "rifle" rather than "shotgun" approach to the matter and to make concerted effort in a specialized way to attract Industries. Yesterday was the Rotary club's regular meeting date. The Kiwanis club arranged to have Hatfield as speaker.'

HaKcrty has come out in opposition to a proposal for revamping rules (or presiden tial press inferences to fea ture written questions sub mitted in advance. Haficrty told a workshup session of the American So ciety of Newspaper Editors that tho present conference syster In which questions and answers are direct and oral is "a darned good institution as It now stands." Ho would hate to see any drastic changes of procedure, HaKcrty commented. He took issue with the sug gestions of Alexander F. Jones, executive editor of the Syracuse llerald-Juurnal, for a major overhaul in ground rules of the president's week ly meetings with the press. Written Questions Proposed Jones proposed that six or eight outstanding correspond ents be chosen by their col leagues to write out a series of related questions on im portant national issues so that the President would be able to give a clear and compre hensive Idea of his views. Jones said the present sys tem is bad because the Presi dent is asked "a vast variety of unrelated questions" with little or no follow up, and also because much press con ference Is burdened with "mi nor questions on purely local matters." However, Hagerty said it Is "a good thing for the chief executive to stand up and have directed at him any ques tions that any reporter wants to ask." He said that a system of written questions could easily lead to screening of the ques tions In advance by a govern ment press officer. "If you get Into that you are going to be giving up a lot more free dom of the press than you may realize, he said.
