Federal Grants in Oregon Exceed $154 Million Last Year
Federal grants paid to gov grams amount to a redistrtibu
ernmental units and individ-, tion of income among the
uals in Oregon totaled S154,-j states. Congressional Quarter
710,000 during the year end-ly has measured this redistri
ed June 30, 1962. bution by computing each
Based on the state's popu- state's percentage share of
lation of 1.864.000 in the 1962 total grants, then comparing
census estimate, this amount- it with each state's share of
ed to $83 per capita, contrast
ed with a national average of
S56 per capita, a high of S226
for Alaska and a low of $34
for New Jersey.
The largest programs of
1962 provided Oregon with
the following amounts: high
way construction, $50,163,
326; public assistance $22,004,
094; unemployment insurance
$11,428,435; public health re
search and services $1,971,
579; food distribution (school
lunch program, etc.), $6,202,
653; education $7,427,539;
and agricultural conservation
programs $5,952,135.
Because they depend on tax
revenues, federal grant pro-
the 1962 federal tax burden
as calculated by the Tax
Foundation, Inc.
Of course, no state received
as many dollars in grants as
it paid in taxes. But thirty
five states and the District of
Columbia received relatively
more in grants than they paid
in taxes, and 15 states receiv
ed relatively less, CQ found.
At the top was Alaska; its
0.53 per cent share of grants
was more than four times its
0.11 per cent share of taxes.
Delaware, on the other hand,
was at the other end of the
scale with .2 per cent of the
grants and .52 per cent share
of the tax burden.

For Oregon, grants received
in 1962 amounted to 1.43 per
cent of the $10.4 billion total.
The state's share of the 1962
federal tax burden, according
to the Tax Foundation, was
0.95 per cent.
Washington (CQ) Fed
eral grants-in-aid to state and
local governments and to in
dividuals last year topped the
$10 billion mark for the first
time.
Grants totaled $10,385,549,
606 in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1962, up 6 per cent
from the previous year, ac
cording to Treasury Depart
ment figures.
Included in this total was
aid for highw i; s, public
health programs, public as
sistance to needy persons, ed
ucation, conservation and
many other areas.
A grant-in-aid is a payment
by the Federal Government
to a state or local govern
ment or an individual for a
particular purpose specificed
by Congress. Usually the fi
nancial grant is made under
prescribed standards and the
state often must contribute
a certain portion of the cost
of the program or project.
The 1962 grants increase re
flects a virtually unbroken
trend during the last decade.
With one exception, 1960, to
tal federal grants expanded
each year since 1953 as new
programs were initialed and
old ones expanded.
The $10.4 billion 1962 total
was more than two-and-one-half
times the 1953 level of
federal aid.
State and local govern
ments received the main share
of total grants, $7,895,000,
000. This was a $793 million
or 11 per cent jump from the
previous year.
Major increases went for
highway construction, $161
million, and for aid lo de
pendent children, $135 mil
lion. Grants to individuals de
creased by $233 million or 9
per cent to a level of $2,491,
000,000 in 1962. The decline
followed a whopping 26 per
cent increase the previous year
due largely to a temporary

elementary school principal. (UPI)
unemployment benefits pro
gram voted by Congress in
1961 in response to the re
cession. A decline in grants
under this program in 1962
helped account for the over
all 9 per cent drop.
Highways Top Lilt
Federal grant aid goes for
a variety of activities ranging
from welfare to defense.
Treasury figures list 110 spe
cific programs, most of which
can be grouped under a doz
en or so general categories
of aid.
The largest grant program
is aid for highway construc
tion and maintenance, total
line $2.8 billion in 1962. The
money is use not only for
the new interstate system,
but also for primary, second
ary and urban roads.
Grants for public assistance
were second, totaling $2.4
billion. The major component
was $1.3 billion for aid to
older persons in need of fi
nancial help. Other programs
helped persons who are blind
or permanently disabled and
dependent children deprived
of parental support or care.
Public Health
One of the largest (fourth)
and most surprising federal
aid programs in 1962 provid
ed $720 million in grants for
Dublic health research and
service.
The extent of federal help
for public health work is sel
dom realized because it is
fragmented among many sep
arate programs. The total $720
million in grants included 31
separate programs, only one
larger than $76 million and
less than one-third larger
than $20 million. The largest
item was $168 million in
grants for hospital construc
tion. The largest share of public
health aid is research into
many areas such as heart
trouble, cancer, arthritis,
health, air and water pollu
tion, accident prevention and
others. Research aid was al
most twice as large as aid for
public health services, such
as tuberculosis and venereal
disease control, waste treat
ment works, hospital con
struction and similar activi
ties. In contrast to a common
belief that schools are sup
ported only at state and local
levels, federal grant aid to
education was substantial in
1962, totalling S601 million.
This was the sixth largest
category of grants. It includ
ed aid for the construction
and operation of schools in
areas where federal facilities
had burdened the school sys
tem while reducing tax rev
enues by removing property
from the tax rolls. This aid
to "impacted" areas, as it is
called, came to almost $270
million.
Another important educa
tional aid was $150 million
in National Science Founda
tion research grants and fel
lowship awards. Other items
included agricultural college
aid, vocational education and
teaching in education of the
mentally retarded.
Grants for unemployment
insurance payments continued
very high, $887 million, the
third largest program. This
was due in part to the tem
porary 1961 program which
expired in 1962.
Distribution of food pro
ducts, such as school lunch,
special milk and food stamp
programs, added another $653
million to the grants-in-aid
total.
Other important grant pro
grams included those for ag
ricultural conservation, the
national guard, public and
rural housing and urban re
newal, other types of conser
vation practices and veterans
benefits.
Relativt Burden
Some states received rela
tively more in grants, in pro
portion to their population,
than did others. This is be
cause allocation formulas vary
from one program to another.
Generally speaking, grants-in-aid
tend to help poorer states
at the expense of wealthier
states.
Although no state received
as many dollars in grants as
it paid in taxes, 35 states plus
the District of Columbia re
ceived relatively more in
grants (in percentage terms)
than they paid in taxes, while
15 states paid relatively more
than they received.

Is it proper
call for
by name
in English Pubs?
It's not a matter of being proper. It's
unnecessary. For when most Englishmen
ask for gin, they expect to get Gordon's.
After all, its distinctive dryness and del
cate flavour have been a part
of English life for 194 years.
Americans, however, have
been enjoying Gordon s
for a somewhat shorter
span of time. So it is
wisc(andproper)to spe
cify Gordon's by name.
Your first sip of a
Gordon's martini will
tell you why it's the big
gest selling gin over here
as well as in England
and the rest of the world.

Shepplon, Pa. - HJPD-A state
mining official said Thursday
in his opinion David Fellin
helped get himself into the
predicament of being entomb
ed for 15 days by a mine
cave-in.
State deputy mines chief
G01 don Smith made the state
ment in answer to a charge
by Fellin Wednesday that he
should have, been rescued in
five days.
"The miners in Ihis opera
tion were removing pillars
of coal," Smith said. "Fellin
showed he doesn't know all
there is to know about min
ing by getting himself in this
predicament."
Smith said the miners were
not digging deeply for coal,
but were taking out coal pil
lars "left all these years" to
support the mine.
Little Hope
Smith made the statement
at the mine site where rescu
ers were drilling to reach
Louis Bova, a third miner
still trapped more than 300
feet underground. There is
little hope for Bova's sur
vival. Fellin, a co-owner of the
mine who was rescued early
Tuesday along with Henry
Throne, said Wednesday that
he "should have been out by
the fifth day." He said rescu
ers should have dug through
the crumbled mine shaft, in
stead of drilling an escape
hole from the surface.
"It doesn't even deserve
comment," Smith said of Fel
lin's remark.
Smith is a mining engineer
who worked in the mines in
this area during the depres
sion. He said he did not know
how Fellin expected to make
a living from the mine, which
had been worked on and off
since 1950 after having been
closed since 1929.
H. Beecher Charmbury,
state mines chief, said Fellin's
remark hurt the morale of the
rescuers now digging a shaft
to reach Bova.
I NAMED CHAIRMAN
Salem - UPI' - Paul Rowell,
! chief of the agricultural de
j velopment division of the
j Oregon department of agri
culture, has been named
chairman of a three - man
I rrouD to study marketing and
transportation matters that
might need the attention of
the western association of
state departments of agricul
ture.
ATTORNEY APPOINTED
YiUimi. Wah. The
jYikima County 9utor
Court ThuftcUy ppoititni n
' attorney to feprecot EiXljr Joe
Hinigcs. 32, of Gfnrtvlewf
who it charged wtfh trtt de
gree murder in the Jea:h ct
I.ct Icwis, a transient.
"It was bad for the morale
of the men when Fellin made
his statement that he should
have been rescued on the
fifth day," Charmbury said.
Standby Basil
"The number of volunteers
dropped off sharply. We still
have enough to do the work,
but the number of men on
standby basis has fallen off."
Charmbury said Fellin was
not familiar with the "condi
tions of the slope or he
wouldn't have said that. He
couldn't be - he hasn't seen
it."
Charmbury said a volunteer
probably would descend the
Bova shaft, but that it would
not occur until 6 p.m. EDT
Friday "at the earliest." He
said water was discovered at
the bottom of the shaft, and
called it "a brand new hazard
which makes it tougher."
Workers today were widen
ing the 12'2-inch wide shaft
to 30 inches lo a depth of 35
or 40 feet. They planned to
widen the remainder of the
shaft to 22 inches, according
to Smith.
He said they were proceed
ing carefully because "this
side of the mine is more dan
gerous than the other." Bova
was separated from Fellin and
Throne by about 18 feet of
debris and rock.
Smith said it a volunteer
goes down, he "will be a man
of mining ability, agility and
courage."
