In The 1
Day's Mews
By FRANK JENKINS
In Washington, President Ken
nedy calls on the congress to EX
TEND A HELPING HAND to the
young people of America. He says
they are caught in cross currents
which "hold great danger as well
as great promise."
As a means to this end. he
asked for expansion of the Peace
Corps whose basic job is to pro
vide assistance by American
young people to the backward na
tions of the world.
He wants more funds with
which to put more American
young people to work in more for
eign countries.
In addition, he called yesterday
for the creation of three other
"corps" to help the nation's youth
-and let youth HELP THE NA
TION. Briefly, these new corps
would be:
1. A National Service Corps
starting off with 100 to 200 volun
teers and working up to perhaps
as many as 5,000. The pay would
be $6 to $8 a day. It would be
open to anyone from 18 up, and
it would be expected that most of
the volunteers would be in the
25-35 age bracket. Presumably its
members would be used anywhere
in the U.S., at the discretion of
the President.
2. A Youth Conservation Corps.
It would put up to 15,000 boys to
work in its first year in the na
tion's forests and parks, at tasks
that would give useful training
for later job hunting. Its goal
eventually would be fiO.OOO vol
unteers. 3. A Community Projects Serv
ice Corps. It would put youngsters
of both sexes to work on service
projects that would give useful
job experience such as helping
out in hospitals, schools, parks and
"settlement houses." Its expenses
would be split equally between
the nation and the community in
volved. Let's not be too cynical at
least at the start.
There's plenty of what we call
JUVENILE trouble in our country.
11 fills the papers. It clogs the
air waves. Even the slick-paper
magazines are full of it.
A lot ol it arises out of the fact
that the modern gadget world pro
vides almost NONE of the jobs
tin the house and around the
home i that in an earlier day kept
American youth too busy to have
much time left for devilment.
Maybe the time is approaching
when government will have to pro
vide the work and the DISCI
PLINE that the American home
formerly provided.
It isnrt a pleasant prospect, but
it may be a prospect that we will
have to consider.
Let's jump now from Washing
Ion to Salem, where George An
nala. manager of Oregon Tax Re
search and a former member of
the Oregon legislature, proposes
to the education subcommittee of
the ioint wavs and means com
mittce a program that calls for
state colleges and universities to
operate on a school year ol lour
12-wcek terms. His plan wouio ex
tend classes through Saturday,
and attendance as assigned would
hp mandatorv.
He told the ioint ways and
means committee that his propos
al would mean an increase of 68
per cent in classroom usage and
would eliminate tne neea mr new
rlassrnnms and dormitories re-
nnesled bv the governor.
He added: "If this proposal
were adopted, higher education
wouldn't need a dime of the pro
posed $45 million bond issue for
new buildings.
Personally, I can't help think
ins he has something. We are
reaching the time when we re go
ing to have to do a lot of look
ing at our hole cards. Taxes are
getting so high meaning that they
are taking so large a slice out oi
the taxpayer's total earnings that
we can no longer afford reckless
waste of public money.
And-
Assuming that much of our ju
venile trouble springs from the
rule that "Satan will find some
work for idle hands to do"
and recognizing that the home no
longer provides the jobs it used
to provide . . . this might be the
time to begin to consider keeping
the younger generation busier in
school.

In Lincoln Day Address
By FLOYD L. WYNNE
"We meet 100 years alter the
Civil War when Abraham Lincoln
rose to greatness, and we stand
in dire need of greatness now."
With this opening, former Con
necticut Governor John Davis
Lodge rapped the present adminis
tration sharply for its divisive for
eign policy and questioned whether
its policies were geared for the
"slate of the nation" or the "suc
cess of the Kennedys."

Joint School
Of Metro School District Proposal
A unanimous vole by Ihe mem
bers of the Joint School Boards
Association, comprised of the
three county boards, brought rous
ing applause from an audience of
about 25 as the association agreed
to study formation of a metropoli
tan school district, lo include the
existing KU boundaries plus the
Sliasla area, with the added slipu-
ation that equalization would be
determined by the boards.
Hie motion was originally draft
ed by Margaret Sheridan, district
board member, and read thai
the formation of a metro district

changes' and a county district
would be the best irom the stand
point of education and would cause
the least shift in taxes.

The 300 persons who attended
heard Lodge question whether the
"state of the nation" was as good
as the President had painted it
recently in Ins message to Con
gress. "The President," Lodge com
mented, "said the state of the
union is good. He asked us to
believe that the threat of commu
nism is- receding, that our econ

administered under the Taylor
Grazing Act.
L'dall said this was the first
significant increase in 12 years.
The 1963 fee for grazing a cow
one month will equal 150 per cent
of the average livestock price per
pound for 1962. Heretofore, thei
fee has been equal to the average
price per pound for beef and
lamb.
L'dall said the 50 per cent in
crease will not create economic
hardship for any stockman. Since
it now costs only about $1 per
cow per grazing season on public
lands, the secretary said the in
crease will cost only about 50
cents more per year per cow.
Actually, the formula for the
fee will increase the fees from
19 cents per animal unit month
to 30 cents, Udall said.
Tilts is more than an increase
of 50 per cent, but under the new
formula the actual increase is
only 50 per cent because the fee
is based on the average price per
pound of livestock for Ihe previ
ous vear.

them to Ihe association. Hunsak
