Senate Leaders Back
100000, Fund
For School Grants
All Southern Stotes
But Florida Would Get
Over $4,000, 900 q Year
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Administration leaders in the
Senate, especially those from the
South, threw their weight enthus-
iastically today behind a long pend
ing bill authorizing $300,000,O00 a
year in Federal grants to public
schools.
With one exception. every Southern
State would get more than $6,000,000
a year from the measure which is
to be called up tomorrow. Florida
would receive only $4789,172, but
Texas would get Sl8,135 ,254, Alabama,
Sl0,403,23S; Georgia, $l0465, $50:
North Carolina. S13.67l ,O22, and
other Cotton Belt States somewhat
smaller amounts.
At the other end of the line
smallest amounts would go to small
New England and Eastern States
and lightly populated Western
States. The complete list of State
amounts is not yet available.
No Government Supervision.
Sponsors of the measure believe
they have sidestepped previous OBJ
JectlonS to similar legislation by de-
clarlng at the very start of the bill
that the Federal Government shall
not exercise any supervision over
the administration or study courses
of a States schools.
TWo-thirds of the authorization
would be emergency in character
and would be used principally to
raise teachers salaries (matching
increased living costs and COM
batting the loss of teacher per-
sonnel to war plants and to en-
ploy additional instructors to relieve
overcroWded classes.
The remaining Sl00 900 would
hnance a permanent Federal school
aid policy designed to iron out re-
cional inequalities in educational op-
portunities.
Basis for ALLEGATION.
The S200,000000 emergency fund
would be allocated on the ratio
that the average daily attendance
Of pupils in each State bears to the
total national daily attendance. The
500 100000 would be divided under
a formula of financial need, based
on the number of school age chill
dren and the financial ability of
each State as measured by income
tax payments.
The Senate Education Committee.
which recommended passage of the
bill, said the extremely large turn
over among teachers as a result of
the war threatens the serious Grip
pling, if not the actual collapse, of
large numbers of our schools"
AS an argument for permanent
policy of Federal aid, the committee
says the States least able to support
schools have the most children to be
educated. South Carolina. it notes,
in 1910 had $50 children from to
II years old for each 1000 adults,
while California had only 277 school
age children for each 1000 adults.
And it adds that the income per
adult in California is more than
twice the average in South Carolina.

Federal Employment
Declines in July for
First Time in Years
II, 300 Released in Field
1900 in CopitoI, Civil
Service Reports

Total employment in all executive
departments of the Federal Govern
ment decreased during July for the
first time in several years, 1900 en-
ployes being dropped in the Wash
pgton Metropolitan Area and 27,9O0
being slashed from payrolls in field
establishments, the Civil Service
Commission announced today in a
preliminary report.
The looping off of 20 223 employees
left the Government total at 3.223.-
375 persons, compared with 1882, ,598
at the end of June. The report did
not show the distribution as between
Washington and the field but en-
ployment here totals around $4,000.
Slzable decreases in civilian en-
ployment were reported by the War
Department. and the War Man.
power Commission. The bulk of
War Department reduction occurred
in the field service: curtailment of
activities of the National Youth Ad-
mlnistration accounted for the de-
crease in VINO employment. Other
substantial decreases we're reported
by the Agriculture, Interior and
Commerce Departments.
Offsetting these reductions. the
commission pointed out, were fairly
substantial increases in the Navy
and Treasury Departments.
The number of full-tim women
employees increased $4,000 during
July. The bulk of this gain occurred
in the War and Navy Departments.
A total of 988,509 women was en-
ployed by Uncle Sam in the conti-
mental United States at the end Of
July, constituting So per cent OF
full-time employment. Approx
mately 10 per cent of all women en-
ployes work in the War and Navy
Departments.
The rate of turnover in Federal
civilian employment, it was empha-
sized, was much higher in July than
in preceding months. The separa-
ton rate for full-time employment
was per cent. compared with So
per cent in June. The increase of
turnover rate is attributable entirely
to increased separations outside of
the Washington area, the commits

OF wartime drama that might
have taken place in any block
in Washington.
Some months ago, Warrant
Officer Joseph Cline left Lucy
with their two children
Danny. 3. and Bob. 2. Since
then their daughter has been
born-but Lucy's letter tells
the story:
Dear Joe: It's all over.
Baby came and I'm home from
the hospital. I've almost for
gotten the awfulness and
panic of that hour when you
said goOd-by. But I want to
tell you all about it, Joe, right
from that last kiss. -.
Il didn't tell you the truth
when you asked me about
things. 1 tried to be a good
soldier but I wasn't. When
you'd gone I cried. I cried as
much as Danny or Bob. I was
so worried. If only your mother
or mine had been alive, maybe
it wouldn't have been so bad.
Then I would have had some
one I knew would care for
Danny and Bob while I was
in the hospital. But. Joe. it
didn't seem to me there was
anybody-not anybody in the
whole, wide world.

Marine casualties were fewer than
10 men killed, missing and wound

Endorsement of The Evening Star
P-TA Salvage-for- Victory paper COL
lection program was given today by
Herbert M Faust. director OF the
salvage division of the War Produc-
ton Board.
In a letter to The Star Mr. Faust
declared:
Il was delighted to learn from
your article in The Star Thursday
night Of your all-out effort in the
waste paper drive and was particu-
larly gratifled to know that your
effort this year will be handled in a
manner that will not interfere with
the plans that have already been
arranged for by specific organiza-
tions in various sections of the city,
but. rather, TO cooperate with them.
Recalls Earlier Drive.
Your last years record of 4.0O0.-
600 pounds of paper collected was
an outstanding contribution to the
war effort and I trust your drive
this year will exceed this very i'm
pressive figure. The need for waste
paper is daily becoming more
critical.
Sincerely Yours,
H. NJ FAUST, Director,
Salvage Division"
First collections in the program
started today in district l with en-
couraging results, especially in view
of the fact that announcement of
the program was not made until
Thursday evening, leaving only a
single school day for organization
in the schools in today's schedules.
The need for waste paper is so
pressing that The Star-P-TA plan
has special Importance. School
children demonstrated in the pre-
vlous campaign, which is now re-
opened, that they could produce a
carload of paper day, thus making
it possible to start paper collected
during the day on its way toward
the mill in the late afternoon or
during the night.
Collection Traced.
One collection was traced last year
and it was found that on that occa-
sion paper collected at the Barnard
School at am. had been manu-
factured into boxboard by II am.
the following day.
The prevailing top price of 60
cents per hundred pounds will be
paid for newspapers and IS cents
per hundred for magazines and
cardboard collected at the schools,
