Interim Committee
To Discuss School
Transportation
Portland - Gas tax refunds
tn school districts, itate pur
chae of ichool buses, and sim
plification of the stat pro
gram for transportation aid
are among the items which
will be discussed by the legis
lative Interim committee on
education at a meeting here
Friday and Saturday, accord
ins to Sen. Ward H. Cook
committee chairman. The
meeting will be In the Port
land state office buucung
The committee will also
consider the fiscal Impact of
the possible development of
community college districts
under an act passed by the
1959 legislature, and con
tinued need for state pro
erams for the education of
handicapped and mentally re
tarded children.
The committee will contin
ue its discussion of a new for
mula for the distribution of
state basic school support
funds.
Under Discussion
The committee, according
to Cook, has had the subject
under discussion for the past
several months and antici
pates reaching its decision on
a new method of providing
state aid by its July or August
meeting. This early decision
will allow legislators and the
public an opportunity to de
bate the merits of the commit
tee proposal prior to the 1961
session of the legislature.
During the past five years,
school districts have pur
chased a total of 829 school
buses at a total cost of $6,
042,900. This is an average
cost of $7,289. Sustantial sav
ings to the local taxpayer
could result from more effic
ient purchasing of school
buses, Cook said.
A proposal before the last
legislature to allow state pur
chasing for local districts was
Average Russian
Works Longer To
Buy food Supply
Washington - (WO - The
average Russian must work
more than two hours longer
now than be did in 1928 to
earn enough to buy a week's
supply of groceries, a govern
ment study Indicates.
The head of a Soviet family
of four also must work far
longer than his American
counterpart to pay for food,
clothing, cigarettes and even
vodka, the study showed.
"The Soviet workers' Utopia
is not all that the Communists
would have the world be
lieve," Secretary of Labor
James P. Mitchell said In re
leasing the report by the
bureau of labor statistics.
About 40 Cents an Hour
"The study shows that the
average worker in the U.S.
S R. had to work about 8 per
cent longer In August, 19S9
than in April, 1928 to buy a
week's supply of the seven
basic foods most Important In
his diet - bread, potatoes,
beef, butter, eggs, milk and
sugar."
A Russian workman, aver
aging four rubles (about 40
cents) an hour, would have to
labor 9 minutes to buy a loaf
of rye bread, 82 minutes for
a pound of roast beef, 84 min
utes for a pound of sugar and
2 hours and 24 minutes for a
dozen eggs, the bureau said
The American, in contrast,
could buy all those commodi
ties with the wages he receiv
ed for less than 48 minutes'
work, the study said.
6!4 Hours for Vodka
It takes the average Russian
about 6V4 hours to earn
enough for a pint of vodka,
Russia's national drink. An
American worker however,
could buy the same bottle
with the wages he received
for 1VJ hours on the Job.
Despite these unfavorable
comparisons, the report said
purchasing power of Soviet
workers has been Increasing
steadily In recent years be
cause of rising wages.
Below High Point
"However, real earnings of
the average worker in the
Soviet Union In terms of food
buying power, are still below
the nigh point In the Soviet
level of living reached in
1928," the report added.
A Russian with a wife and
two children would have had
to work 28.40 h-urs to buy
enough of the seven basic
foods for his family In 1959.
This compares with 38.17
hours in 1093 and 28. 17 hours
in 1028.
To keep down the high cost
of groceries, about two out of
every five Soviet workers
(row their own vegetables or
fruit in backyard gardens,
the report taid.
Unskilled Russian factory
workers receive about $27 to
$50 a month,- roughly,, and
plant managers there earn
bout $300 to $1,000 a month.
defeated, however, largely be

Milky Way Said
To Be II to 15
Billion Years Old
Pittsburgh (Science Service)
-The Milky Way galaxy in
which the sun and its planets
are located is from 11 to 15
billion years old, two astrono
mers told the American As
tronomical Society meeting
here.
Drs. William A. Fowler and
Fred Hoyle of California In
stitute of Technology said the
choice of an age for the
Milky Way depended on the
way in which the solar sys
tem and the rest of the galaxy
was formed. Basis of either
age is the radioactive decay
of uranium and thorium, also
used to date geological events
on earth.
The age of the Milky Way
about 15 billion years if
the galaxy from Us origin has
been independent, with no
important additions of mate
rial from intergalactic space
since its formation. Within
the galaxy, the formation of
stars has declined at a steady
rate over the Milky Way s
lifetime. Errors in this meth
od could make the age as old
as 20 billion years or as little
as 12 billion years.
Age Calculated
The Milky Way's age is
some 11 billion years if mat
ter Is being continuously cre
ated, the two astronomers re
ported. Thla is Its age .they
calculated, if the abundance of
elements In Intergalactic mat
ter has reached a steady state
through interchange with
galaxies in which stars are
producing elements heavier
than hydrogen. From this
point of view, the Milky Way
has picked up significant
quantles of intergalactic ma
terial at various times.
This acquiring of material,
in this view, occurred particu
larly about a billion years
ago, before the sun and solar
system were formed. Errors
in the 11-billion age calculated
on this basis could be as little
as plus or minus two billion
years.

Hiving More Children
For yeare, thoughtful per

looked ai if the children of
the future were likely to be
born mainly to the more ig
norant half of the population.
People In the slums, who have
little concern as to whether
their children
later, will get
in education,

small Income,
have more than a child or
two. Now, in a study of the
fertility of college graduates,
made by the Population Ref
erence Bureau of Washington,
D.C., I see that in the last 15
years there has been a ten
dency for college graduates
to marry at a somewhat
younger age, and to have, on
an average, two children per
mother. The figures for 1946
show families averaging twice
the size of those for graduates
in 1936. It is true that oc
casionally a remarkable sci
entist is born to uneducated
people in very humble cir
cumstances, but if one will
study hundreds of the brief
biographies in "Who s Who in
America," one will find that a
high percentage of our most
able and distinguished citizens
had well-educated parents.

CRAB APPLE, CHERRY
Two beautiful spring-flow
ering trees are the crab apple
and th. cherry. Laden with
flowers, they end a touch of
wonder to a garden, park,
or a street lined with these
trees. Just one flowering crab
apple or flowering cherry will
provide a spot of color so
delicate that it will be one of
the important events of the
garden year.
The crab apple grows into
a symmetrical tree 10 to IS
feet tall. Most are masses of
bloom lust after the leaves
start, and as the blossoms fall
the delicate lea .es bring out
the rich green foliage, turn
ing to bronze in autumn. They
are unique to frame a low
house or accent the lawn.
Some have a colorful fall
fruit.
The Bechtel crab (Malus
icensis) Is the tree for Ashland
st., and Rose at., (Fourth to
Second sts) set 40 to SO feet
apart.
The Hofa crab (Malus), will
be used on Avocado, 40 to SO
feet apart, and on Tucca St.,
SO to 60 feet apart.
answer unless one knows a
number of facts, perhaps most
important of which is, how
big the hernias are. If they are
very large they may be hard
to repair successfully; there
may be too little muscle left.
If the patient is young, and his
hernias are in the groin (not
due to a big abdominal op
eration) and if the hernias are
small, if there is no infection
after the operation, and if th.
surgeon did a good job of
bringing the muscle layers to
gether, the results should be
excellent. As I have said be
fore in this column, the young
man who has tn Hn h.,j .w.

iures repaired as soon as they
form. There is mil. .n..

Dick Clark Linked
To Payola Money
Washlngton-OJfU-Rep. John
B. Bennett (R-Mlch.) said to
day that House investigators
have made a "pretty convinc

jockey Dick Clark accepted
payola.
Bennett, ranking Republi.

The subcommittee sched

Harry Chipetz, of th. Chips

Both petitioned to b. heard
in private under a House rul.
