'DENNIS THE MENACE" G, AlKS 1VIL30N, you SURE SOT A NICE SOFT LAP,1 Many Men In Government Afraid To Make Decisions WASHINGTON' iN'KA) The mii-ili) make a drci.'ion. apparently, on tnr reason t lie U.S. is behind the anything," says a discouraged Russians in missiles and in space missile maker. it starkly simple Too many men in the U.S. Gov ernment are afraid to make ficti tious. So they pas? the buck. Or say no. Or go by the regulations. Or Just don't make any decisions at all. This is the conclusion drawn from an NKA Service survey of 2D key missile-space men and a study of 23 reports from industry men fighting to get Washington deci sions that would speed their work. None of these men thought the major problem was funds. None believed the primary road block was Arniy-Navy-Air Force rivalry. But all of them were discour aged hy indecision. Most of these men believed that indecision was responsible, too, for a great amount ol air-ciaft-missile-space waste. Esti mates o( that waste for the past three years ranged from $1 billion to tl4 billion. Says one I'entagnnian "Officias hae been afraid In riiakn even a decision to cancel a I'lograin that would he obsolete by thf time it was finished or even programs that would duplicate nth r programs." Progress is made by new ideas. New ideas need approval. But in Washington-in missiles or space "no one man has the courage So hern, belore a new idea can be accepted, it has to be approved hy a lot of people and a lot of committees. "This takes time sometimes six months for a decision that should be made in 10 minutes," says one industry man. Also it discourages new ideas. When a proposal comes belore a lot of committees, at least one ol them is going to find some reason why it shouldn't he approved. Says one unhappy manufacturer: "No one seems to have authority to tell you to go ahead. But there are a lot of people who can tell you no." But this isn't the only way new ideas are slowed down or dis couraged. Says one Navy man: "We order missiles. Often we use pecifications for missile compon ents that arc old and out of date and it doesn't take long for them to get out of date these days. The Vating Role In Education Editor'! Note This is another in the series of articles evaluating our educational system during American Dducalion Week. It is written by Mrs. Fred Kelsay, past president of the League o( Women Voters. By MRS. HUD KELSAY A good voter is an informed voter. It is not easy to he an inlormed voter these days. .Matters calling lor decisions are Ircqurnt ly complex, controversial, or com pletely outside his range of expe rience. With regard to education the voter is being confronted fre quently with decisions on new problems. The decisions he makes may di rectly affect his child's future, as well as his own pocket book, and perhaps even his way of life The voter is a good voter if he knows his local candidates. He at tends meetings where candidates lor local school boards will speak He may take the lead in encour aging his own club, civic, or neigh borhood group to invite the candi dates to a lea, coffee hour or re ception, whore they will have an opportunity to talk informally. Be fore the meeting he familiarizes himself with the candidates' rec ords, backgrounds, and platforms. and decides what questions need asking. The voter knows that major edu cation decisions are being made on the state and national levels. He seeks all points of view. He listens to speeches, reads newspaper ar ticles, follows radio and TV broad casts both pro and con on the candidate, the bond issue, or the proposed legislation. The wise voler knows howl schools are financed, so that he can make enlightened decisions on any proposed changes. He knows. lor example, that taking the nation a whole 56 per cent of pres ent school costs fall on local gov ernments, 4fl per cent on state gov ernments, and four per cent on the dcral government. He visits the schools. When a bond issue to build new schools is in the wind, the wise voter goes to the heart of the problem He sees for himself whether crowd ed classrooms and split sessions aie hurting the quality of educa tion in his town. He reads all the printed infor mation he can find. Many fact lolders, brochures, and manuals In help the voter arc distributed by citizen groups, PTA, and by women's organizations, as well as by political parties. He has his name added to mailing lists of these groups and reads curclully the materials to be. an inlormed voter on education. What does a school board do? What are the responsibilities of the school superintendent? Who de cides what subjects children shall study? Who selects the site of the new school.- Who buys the school supplies? The wise voter tdlks with school board members and school executives and 'others and finds the answers to these ques tions lor himself. He does not vote selfishly. He considers the needs of all chil dren, not just his own, when he makes a decision on school mat ters. The older citizen does not vole "no" to a school bond issue, merely because his children are no longer in school. The parents of an academically - talcnled young ster does not automatically vote no on having vocational train ing In the school until he Inves tigates the local need of such train ing to other youngsters. The wise voter tries to base all his decisions on what will benefit every child. Ho knows that better schools ben efit everyone in the community. The good voter, having cast his o:e, realizes that this action is only the beginning. He continues io make his opinions known to can didates he has elected through let ters and personal contacts. He keeps on attending school board meetings. He encourages the mem bers of organizations and groups 'O'h which he Is affiliated to make their views known to members of the "bile Legislature and to U.S. ?nngressmen and senators when education bills are being drawn' - up or voted upon. He often be comes so interested that he finds himself helping to get out the vote. or even running fy office I Our communities, states, nation and the world will he improved in direct ratio to the number ol persons, responsible and unselfish, who seek experience in the art ol government, especially as relatei to education.
