Brookings Study Sees
u. ). Postwar Costs
Doubling Those Of 40

Taxpayers who expect after v day
to have their governmental costs
drop to prewar levels are due for a
sad awakening, according to a study
made public today by the Brookings
Institution.
Instead of dropping, the costs will
be approximately double those of
preWar years, the study estimates.
Uncle Sam is expected to spend
about 22.3 billions of dollars, or 2lz
to times what he did in 1910. State
and local governments probably will
jump their spending about Is per
cent above the prewar level of
billions.
Largest increase in Federal spend
ing will not be for debt service,
though interest alone will take
billions annually, the study con-
cludes. Other outlays, such as vet
erans' benefits, highway grants, ag-
ricultural aids and public assistance
will be important in the picture.
National defense costs in 1949 will
probably be 78 billions, or roughly
five times those in 1910. Unless all
collective security plans fail, the
Brookings study estimates, this ex-
penditure will drop down to some
where between 25 and billions an
nually in the mid-l950s.
Federal benefits to veterans are
apt to be % billions in 1s49, or five
times those in 1910. Requirements
for economic development probably
will be 6.3 billions in 1949, or rs per
cent above 1910 totals. These figures
include transportation, aids to agri-
culture, and development of natural
resources. The study was conducted
by Lewis H. Kimmel and associates
under a grant from the Maurice
and Laura Falk Foundation of
Pittsburgh, Pa.

ministrative control of the exclusion
of the faculty and Students" will
present specific charges to President
H. c. Byrd this afternoon at a con-
ference in DR.. Byrd's office.
Backing the students, Thomas P.
Monahan, sociology instructor, said
that IAN unhealthy contagion OF
fear paralyzes the campus" but
that only the students are acting.
Mine out of 10 of the faculty
members are in sympathy with the
students, but are afraid to speak
out" he said.
Top Students Protest.
Mr.. Monahan said the students
involved in the dispute are among
the most intellectual at the univer-
sity, adding that no one as yet has
gone on record as opposing the prin-
ciples for which they stand.
These are the basic principles of
democracy, freedom of expression
democratic elf-government and the
removal of tyrannical and arbi-
trary controls" he said.
Referring to Presidents Byrd's
Americanization program,
Mr.. Monahan said students want
to see a revival OF democratic be-
havior on the campus, which they
are convinced does not exist under
the present administration.
Want to Live Democratically.
"They prefer to be permitted to
live democratically first, rather than
to be taught democracy from text
books" Mr.. Monahan said.
Mr.. Monahan, one of the first fac
ulty members to speak for the stu
dents cause. said he came to the
university last fall on a years con-
tract. He said he has notified the
institution that he will not return
next fall.
While this is a student move
ment," Mr.. Monahan said, 'it is
hoped the faculty can equally well
present its case. They are not con-
cerned with personalities, but are
gravely concerned about the edu-
cational system. They see the uni
versity suffering because of the
present educational policy"
