This observation was voiced by Charles McNair, son of Dr. and Mrs. Raymond McNair, in an address Tuesday before the Medford Rotary club. Recent ly he returned from a world tour as a student in the Inter national School of America and is now a pre-medic major at the University of Oregon. Speaking at a luncheon meet ing at the Rogue Valley Coun try club, McNair told his Med ford audience that the "ugly American" impression of U.S. citizens abroad was not at all apparent in his contact both with Americans in foreign coun tries and with foreigners them selves. Describes School McNair described the unique round the world school, now in its fourth year, initiated with the idea that world study can become more effective if under' taken on location. The course begins with introductory work in this country, then covers the principle countries of the world including a period behind the Iron Curtain in Poland, Hungary and Russia. Among the subjects covered In this extended world school tour are the populations and economy of nations visited, im pact of technological develop ments, foreign aid, common market, archaeology and the ef fect of ancient civilizations. Re ligious and philosophical docu ments are included in the study. Thailand impressed him most on the interesting tour, McNair said, and Greece proved to be the second most fascinating country. McNair- was an -associate member of the Medford Rotary Club when he was student body president at Medford High School .

Ullman is a member of the tax writing House Ways and Means Committee and a ler- vent advocate of the tax cut bill as urgent and necessary to stimulate economic growtn. "But I am never going to be accused of saying that because we have a tax cut we should not carry on our other respon Coast Guardsmen Escape Injury BANDON, Ore.

"The simple economics of the situation will necessitate an in creased responsibility on the part of the Federal Govern ment," he continued, "because in a State like Oregon, we place the Drimarv burden (for school support) on the backs of the property owners. "We are at the point of di minishing returns and can't push them any higher. But the educational needs are becom ing more pressing and more ex pensive witness our troubles in Oregon. Age Group Increases Oregon Education Association figures show that the age group in Oregon, up to age 18, in creased 45 per cent from 1940 to 1950 while the income-producing group between 22 and 64 has increased only 2.8 per cent, and Oregonians are producing 38,000 babies annually. The real financial crisis Is at the State level, not the fed eral level," maintained Ullman, "and leads to the simple con clusion that to meet the educa tional challenge, the Federal Government must have an in creasingly larger share of the financial burden." He said he thought federal programs were at present being carried on well without federal control and future programs could be done without control. Ullman was critical of the Oregon State legislature and Gov. Mark Hatfield for cutting educational needs from the State budget, particularly com munity colleges which he feels is "the greatest need in t h e whole American educational sys tem today." As a result of the Oct. 15 tax vote, the Oregon State Board of Education, acting on orders from Gov. Hatfield, post poned allocation of the $1.3 mil lion community colleges build ing programs for construction for: Blue Mountain, Central Oregon, Clatsop, South West ern Oregon, Treasure Valley, Eugene Technical - Vocational, Portland Community and Salem Technical Vocational . ( Answer Said Supplied Ullman explained that he was particularly concerned for com munity colleges because he felt they supplied the answer to the overwhelming need for "sub professional" technicians which are currently in short supply. He said the need was greater than for scientists. He criticized the four-year colleges for ham pering the development of com munity colleges in Oregon. Every year since his arrival in Congress, Ullman has intro duced a bill to aid States in es tablishing community colleges. He pointed to California, a State which has burgeoned in com munity colleges for decades, and their booming economic success in attracting defense and space age industry. He be lieves that community colleges should devote more than half their efforts toward technical sub - professional training be cause of industrial needs which are not being met for trained personnel, Ullman agreed with the thesis of economist Charles Killings worth of Michigan State Univer sity who has stirred interest in Washington with his "bottle neck" theory of the need to in vest in human beings to pro vide tor nighly-educated work ers: "In the past dozen years, au tomation and the growing pref erence ot consumers lor more services rather than more goods have stimulated heavy demands for highly - educated workers and have greatly diminished job opportunities for poorly ed ucated workers," says Killings worth. "Despite a steady (but slow) improvement in the average ed ucational level of the work force, the change in the pat tern of demand for labor has created a large surplus of poorly-educated workers and seri ous shortages of certain kinds of highly-educated workers. "Because of the new employ ment patterns in the economy, a general increase in spending for goods and services by con sumers and an increase in in vestment by business firms (which are hoped - for effects of the $11 billion tax cut) would soon result in acute shortages of many kinds of highly-eou- cated workers without greatly reducing the present surplus of poorly-educated workers. "The bottleneck in the sup ply of workers at the top of the educational ladder would se riously impede the continued economic expansion that is es sential to reduce to tolerable levels the shocking rates of un employment that we find to day at the middle and bottom of the educational attainment ladder." Bill Introduced Annually To meet this need for skilled manpower for a hoped-for ex panding economy, Ullman has introduced each year since his arrival in Congress a bill to aid States in establishing com munity colleges. His bill calls for spending $200 million each year for three years on a matching basis to assist states in setting up com munity colleges. Ullman explained how the tax cut would stimulate growth: "The high tax rate was put on in wartime for one purpose, not just to raise revenue, but to put a damper on a private sec tor of the economy and more into the puMic to win the war, and it worked. But it took away incentive capital; and if you want to put more dynamism into the private sector you take it off (taxes). "What you are doing is put ting $11 billion into the pockets of the taxpayer to spend. There is then the multiplying effect. If the taxpayer gets $10 in his paycheck, he is going to spend it . . . this money turns over and over again. It is the whole basis of the free enterprise sys tern and why the Russians have not been able to compete. 16 PROOF ECHO SPRING DIST. CO., LOUISVILLE.
