Washington (Special) - Rep.
tdith ureen and Her Higner schools. Mrs. Green's S2.7 bil
Education bill have become 1 lion higher education bill
orphans of the storm over re-: provides construction money
ligious, tax and budget-cutting
controversies in the 88th Congress.
The waifs were abruptly
abandoned on the House door
step this past week when the
Rules Committee decided to
send a Medical Facilities bill
to the House for a vote instead
of waiting for her bill to come
from committee.
Mrs. Green had the White
House door slammed in her
face last Friday when the
President and the House lead
ers decided to put aside con
sideration of her bill in favor
of the medical facilities bill.
The higher education bill had
been scheduled that day to be
reported from her committee
bv a unanimous vote of Rc-
for academic facilities for
j public and private colleges,
J including medical centers. HR
j 12. the Medical Facilities bill,
provides S237 million to con
struct medical and dental
1 schools, including loans for
medical students.
It was reported by reliable
sources that there were two
reasons for the While House
' action: supersensitiveness on
the part of the Catholic Presi
dent and the so-called "Irish
not she would go ahead and
report her bill. She needs
leadership approval to bring
a bill to Rules and thence to
the House for a vote. She
limited her testimony to the
overlapping of the two bills
and refused to the be drawn
into criti isms of her leaders.
The Republicans and Smith,
tried but they could not un
stifen her upper lip. She
thanked them fo. the "nova
caine" to relieve her pain,
which they were adminstering
as compliments.
Rumbles ot Discontent
Under the Medical Facili
ties Bill. HR 12. medical stu
dent loans could be 50 per
cent forgivable if the doctor
begins practice in an "area of
Mafia" on his staff about the greatest need" designated by
religious issue, which defeat
ed the higher education bill
last year. It provides grants
and loans to private and pub
lic college. Southern Demo
crats don't like it.
The second reason was the
budget squeeze for domestic
publicans and Democrats. The spending, caused by the Presi-
White House reportedly want
ed it back in the Omnibus
Bill.
A Calch-All Bill
Briefly, the Omnibus Edu
cation bill is the catchall So
Recruiting Office
Receives Plaque
The Medford Navy recruit
ing office again has received
8 plaque for outstanding re
cruiting performance in ob
taining new enlistments for
March, 1963.
This is the first time the
Bward has been held by a re
cruiting station for two con
secutive months, according to
Navy officials.
The rotating award is
sought by 23 Navy recruiting
stations throughout Oregon,
Idaho and southern Washing
ton. Chiefs Edward Hawkins
and Ron Vetkos hope to keep
the plaque from rotating.
They feel the outstanding
help and cooperatoin given
the Navy by Jackson county
citizens has made the award
possible.
dent's de-sire to have a huge
tax cut to stimulate Ihe econ
omy. Handles Legislation
Mrs. Green's subcommittee
handles legislation for aid to
colleges. Because the Com
merce Committee handles
"health" legislation, the aid
to medical schools bill went
to that committee. Mrs.
Green's committee added
money for medical facilities
to her bill, which complicated
matters.
Because her bill included
aid to medical schools. Rep.
Howard Smith of Virginia,
the patriarch of Rules and
wily watchdog of contro
versial bills, called Mrs.
Green before his committee to
testify. She began with a
slightly quavering voice,
which soon found strength as
she warmed to her favorite
subject. She showed no rancor
at the treatment she had re
ceived at the hands of her
"leaders", President Kennedy
and Speaker John McCor
mack. "It is a leadership decision,"
she plaintively replied to a
question about whether or

the Surgeon General of the
Public Health Service, or if
he goes into the Armed Serv
ices because of an emergency,
or into Government service.
This feature brought rumbles
of discontent from Republi
cans and Democrats.
Mrs. Green pointed out that
the ordinary GI who may
have borrowed money under
the National Defense Educa
tion Act to go to college, with
no forgiveness feature, would
have to pay back every dime,
while the doctor would be re
quired to pay only half.
She also objected to having
the law administered by the
Public Health Service instead
of the Office of Education as
her higher education bill
would be. because the colleges
(assuming both passed Con
gress) have to deal with two
agencies for construction and
loan funds, doubling the cost
of administering the program.
Show The Inconsistency
She pointed out. as she said
to show the inconsistency of
those opposing grants to pri
vate colleges, that the Com
merce Committee bill allowed
grant money to private col
leges for building teaching
hospital in which would be
locateo private chapels. She
said that her committee had
taken great care to sec that
under their bill no public
money could be used for a col
lege seminary, or for build
inns "in which sectarian sub
jects would be taught.
Her bill included a pro
vision for a constitutionality
test by the Supreme Court as
well, and it had been ap
Droved bv the Justice Depart
ment lawyers as feasible lor
an early test.
The Young Turk Republi
cans on her committee, in a
press conference after the
Rules vote, pointed to the
'cynicism" of the Democrat
Administration in suddenly
pulling the rug from under
Mrs. .Green and her commit
tee, and giving the green light
instead to the medical facili
ties bill just when they were
on the brink of unanimous
approval of a bill which also
had Republican Minority
Leader Charles Halleck's en
dorsement. They also charged
a deal ' had been made with
Smith, promising to withhold
action on the college bill if
he would vote out the medi
cal facilities bill.
Would Not Vole
Some Republicans indicated
i they would not vote for the
medical facilities bill when it
comes to the House for a vote
after Easter. Two Republican;
said that the doctors, with
their powerful lobby, did not
need the forgiveness feature
of the student loan program
Mrs. Green agreed and said
she would also vote against it
if it retains the forgiveness
feature.
Here again on this issue, the
Administration may "have
outsmarted itself again by
half as a critic said, by going
for a lesser bill when they
might have had more by
fighting for Mrs. Green's bill,
which had strong bipartisan
support. Both Republicans
and Democrats say tlicy have
the voles to pass her bill
One Republican comment
ed that Mrs. Green didn't de
serve the treatment, because
of her loyalty and hard work
for the Administration and
genuine dedication to educa
tion. He thought that if any
rug-pulling had to be done it
should have been done to Rep.
Orcn Harris of the Com
merce Committee, no New
Frontiersman.
