some states put more money into
education than others. Why
should citizens in those states
have to pay taxes to help the
children OF tax payers in the
states with poorer education?
FOR Educated citizens every
where are a benefit to the nation,
so citizens everywhere should
share the tax burden equally
AGAINST: States are better
able to pour money into eduea-
ton than the debt -burdened fed
eral government.
FOR: DR.. James b. Conant,
President of Harvard University
answered this when he testified
this week. He said: Sufficient
funds to keep good schools going
are not available and cannot be
raised from local and state re-
sources of many areas, Federal
aid bills have been introduced by
Senator Taft Ohio Republican,
for himself and group OF sena.
tors; by Senator Aikens Yer
mont Republican. and Senator
Green, Rhode Island Democrat.
The Taft Bill would guarantee
for every American child an edu-
cation costing at least $40 a year.
Senator Aiken's bill would give
federal money to public and pri'
waite schools. Senator Green's bill
would help raise the teachers
salaries

Year after year bills to provide
such aid have been offered In
Congress. Hhis year, too. The
Senate education subcommittee
started hearings on these bills
last week, which may last sever
al weeks or the Senate should
approve the House would have

Federal aid COST No one knows.
Maybe between $2,500,000 and
$500 100000 Here are the usual
arguments for and against federal
aid to education;
AGAINST: II would mean Fed
eral interference in education and
eventually, might mean federal
control.
FOR: Congress can pass a law
keeping the federal government
out of the states educatona Job
There need be no federal inter
ference.
AGAINST; With the education
money to hand out, political
party in power could use It to
spread propaganda for itself in
schools.
FOR: Again, by precise law
keeping the governments hands
out of states, politicians hands
could be kept out Of education,
AGAINST The traditional sep.
araton of state and church would
break down If the federal money
went not only to public schools
but also to private schools giving
religious instructions,
FOR, Private schools help take
the burden off public schools and
should get some help
AGAINST: Southernnrs, but
not ALL have opposed any federal

should be- spent equally for whites

the United States looking for work
For two years he travelled from city

denly he dropped from sight.
When his letters stopped coming
his wife gave up her position. Al
though she knew little English, she
began a search for him. Never
doubling, she travelled over the
route his letters had indicated, re-
traced his steps to all the places
they had known together, even Wis
tied towns and cities he had told
her about before they were married
She worked at such jobs as she
could find, mostly as cook.
She talked to every one she hoped
had ever known him. Sometimes
she was forced to return to her
home to recoup financially before
resuming the search. Finally, after
IA years, she found him in St
Elizabeth's Hospital. He had come
to Washington a few days after
his disappearance suffering from
amnesia. When she found him he
