MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. ORE. THURSDAY. AUGUST 25. 1960 Demo Leaders in Congress Say Aid-to-Education Bill 'Must' for August Session - Washington.-fllPD-Democrat- Jc leaders say an aid-to-educa- tion bill is a "must" for the August session of Congress But a large number of Repub licans, and Southern Demo crats are none too anxious to send a school bill from Cap hoi Hill to the White House, and it's just possible that President Eisenhower would not want to sign it if it got KF Hopeful Of Federal Support For Reservation Washington flJPD Members of a Klamath Falls delegation were hopeful today that they had won federal support for their drive to keep the Klam ath Indian reservation intact. The delegation favors ad ministering the reservation as a separate national forest. Laurence Shaw, Klamath Falls lumberman and delega tion spokesman, said they were given "a good hearing" when they made their rounds of government agencies Wed nesday, Elmer Bennett, undersecre tary of interior, told the dele gation he was "in accord" with their belief that the reserva tion should be managed as a separate unit by the forest service. The service will ac quire administration of the reservation on April 1, 1061. They also conferred " with Edward Cliff, acting director of the forest service, and Ed ward Crafts, his assistant. Courteous Hearing "Both men gave us courte ous hearing," Shaw said. Cliff told the group that management , plans for the reservation were still being worked out. . "There seems to be no con troversy with our case," Shaw said. ' Also in the Klamath Falls party were Frank Jenkins, editor of the Herald News; Nelson ' Reed, former chair man of the Oregon-Klamath River Water Commission and Al Hatton, a merchant. In addition, W,ayne Gaskins and Leonard Netzorg, repre sented the Western Forest In dustries Association of Port land. Linked Economically The delegation told forest service officials that the town of Klamath Falls is economi cally and historically linked to the reservation. : ' It said this "continuity would be spoiled ' if its admin istrative sbt-up was changed. Today, they meet with Un dersecretary of Agriculture Ervin Petersen; Rep. Al Ull man (D-Ore.) and Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.). News Agency, Union Agree On Contract New York - (UPI) - United Press International and the Commercial Telegraphers' Un ion have accepted an arbitra tor's award for a new two year contract covering opera tors and maintenance men cm ployed by UPI. The award was written by Saul Wallen, Boston, impar tial arbitrator, on Aug. 10. The CTU acceptance was announced Wednesday by Reynold A. di Cuia, national committeeman for the UPI di vision of the union after the members of the division had voted on the award. Ross Downing, UPI person nel manager, accepted for the company. j Charter Issue To Appear On Ballot Astoria (UPI) The Clatsop county central labor council said Wednesday it has obtain ed enough petition signatures to ensure placement on the November ballot of a measure calling for changes in the Astoria city charter. The proposals would extend civil service to almost all city employees, and would gather collective bargaining privileges to organizations representing city employees. Charges Filed Against Prison PortlanoVIUPD - A petition charging prison hardships and denial ot religious freedom at Oregon State penitentiary was filed in U.S. district court here Wednesday by Lil lard James Gibbs, 21, an- in mate of the prison. f.ihhs claimed he was placed in Isolation for as long four nlahts And three days. and was denied bedding, food, and medicine for him by the peniticntiary physician. -?iku, aUn antrl he was de nied religious freedom at the penitentiary. His petition was n, .nj fiinri In district court here charging denial of there. A sharp fight on the issue is likely. Action So Far. Both the House and the Senate have passed education bills, but the provisions differ in major respects. The Senate bill authorizes about $1.8 bil lion over two years in federal grants to the states, to be used for school construction or teachers' salaries. Under the Senate bill, funds would be allocated on the basis of need, with the poorer states receiv ing more per school-age child than the wealthier states. The House bill authorizes about $1.3 billion over four years for school construction only,, and does not contain any "equalization formula" to give more money to the poor er states. In addition, the House bill carries a rider, sponsored by Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-N.Y.), de claring that schools construct ed with the federal funds "shall be available to students without regard to race, creed, color, national origin or re ligion, in accordance with the decisions of the United States Supreme Court." The House Rules Commit tee June 22 voted 5-7 against allowing the bill to go to con ference to iron out these dif ferences. However, House and Senate leaders were already informally working out a com promise. Final agreement on a plan would probably bring enough pressure on the Rules Committee to get it to release the bill for a formal confer ence. Under the compromise, the Senate would accept the House's four-year authoriza tion of $1.3 billion and forego aid for teachers' salaries; the House, in turn, would drop the Powell amendment and accept an equalization formu la. But the bill faces several additional hurdles. Democrats and the Administration are still at odds over a plan for the states to put up funds matching those contributed by the Federal Government. Democratic sponsors of the House bill wrote in a provi sion that either state or local governments could put up the matching funds In the first two years, giving the states some time to set up machinery to raise the money. Republi cans are insisting that state His Court Appearance Was Friendly Affair Independence (UPD - City Recorder Don Hardy was fined $1 in municipal court here for overtime parking. Seems as though someone swiped his keys and he had to leave his car parked over night on a downtown street. Hardy's court appearance was a ' friendly affair. He is also the municipal judge. governments should be forced to asume the matching obli gations all four years. Both sides say they won't yield, but it is unlikely that this point of difference alone would pre vent a bill from passing. President's Position - A more important question -to which the final answer is still unknown - is whether President Eisenhower would sign the compromise bill. The Administration aid - to-educa-plan, rejected by both houses, would have spread federal payments over a period of 30 35 years by helping local areas pay the costs or long term school bonds. Whether Mr. Eisenhower would be agreeable to a short-run pro gram of direct grants is un certain. Poss i b 1 y, compro mises have put the bill in a shape acceptable to the Pres ident. But if the President indi cates to his Congressional leaders that he won't sign the bill, Republicans will do their best to block the bill's passage and embarrass the Democrat ic Congress rather than risk a veto embarrassing to them selves, v (Copyright I960, Congression al Quarterly Inc.)
