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.).

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.

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

court here charging denial of

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
