TRUMAN TO BE BLOCKED,
 HIS PLANS
Thumbs Down on Many Proposals Made by
 President

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5--tR-Con- gressional leaders responded to President Trumans State-of-the- Union message today by turning thumbs down on half a dozen of his legislative proposals = includ n3 more taxes.
 Important memcers in both parties were quick to frown on the moderate tax increase asked by MT. Truman yesterday at the out set of a Congressional election year
 REDUCE SPENDING
 Instead, they emphasized reduced spending. Failing sharp economies in a budget expected to exceed s42 100 100000, the government presumably would continue red ink spending.
 Similarly, Congress members in a position to act said in about as many words that the Presidents appeals for continuation of the military draft, Hartley repeal, the Grammar farm plan, medical insurance and the St. Lawrence seaway will go on the shelf for this session..
 TO GET OKEH
 There was an apparently clear road for uD expansion of social security coverage and benefits and (2) continuation on a reduced scale-of economic and military aid to non- Com munist countries abroad.
 There the list of certainties ended.
 Lawmakers Jumped in the doubt full category the Presidential pro- rosals for middle-income housing aid, continuation of rent control, expansion of displaced persons ad- missions, aid to education and the Point Four" program for economic help for the worlds backward areas.
 ANOTHER BLOCK They gave even less chance of passage to an international trade organization resolution and the Presidents Civil Rights program.
 In his mildly-phrased message, the President didn't expand his Fair Dear but asked for action only on things he has talked about before.
 COP STATEMENT Republicans met this immedi- ately with scorching statement, signed by 100 House COP mem bers, accusing the President ol committing himself ito the even tual Specialization of America and the elimination of the traditional American competitive system"
 Senator Taft of Ohio, who heads the Senate COP policy committee, said MT. Truman's mildness re- minded him of Byron's quotation: "The mildest manner'd man that ever scuttled a ship or cut throat

Famine e-Threatened SIavs
To Seek American Aid
BY the Assoeioied Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Oct.
IA. - Famine threatened Yugo-
slavia will seek American financial
aid to buy groceries for the COM
ing winter, Premier Marshal Tito
disclosed yesterday.
The expected bid for aid was
confirmed by Mr.. Tito when he
called United States Ambassador
George v. Allen for a discussion
of Yugoslavia's plight. resulting
from a severe drought.
Western officials. who estimate
the drought has cost Yugoslavia
some 500 million worth of crops,
say the country will need at least
$50 million worth of foodstuffs to
see her through the winter. Mr..
Allen himself recently said Yugo-
slavia faced serious starvation"
unless she got food from the West.
Unofficial discussions about aid
have been going on in Washing

The G.adGe Roe9e4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

No one knows any better
 than I the objections and com-
 plaints that are offered against
 Red Cross. I should, because I've heard them for two years with
 out ceasing. It is even quite possible that I could tell you some that you have not heard before. One odd thing about it is, that the very same stories about the very same incidents with local names are to be found in every community in the country.
 The fact remains, however,
 that if people would take the
 time to investigate known cases where Red Cross has apparently failed to function in local cases,
 it would be found that there were circumstances which pre- vented the giving of assistance So many of us accept as gospel
 truth what is actually only
 rumor and basically untrue.
 Whatever may be said against the service in the past, none can detract from the wonderful peacetime service rendered by the organization in the last five years. Not one of the victims of flood, fire, earthquake, blizzard,
 marine and other disasters in the country but will swear by
 Red Cross now, except the few
 chisellers who are found any where at any time. I have been hurt and insulted more than once, but it has been because of misunderstanding, and I have
 not let it interfere with my be- lief in Red Cross nor in Seward We have raised several funds
 in this little city since New Years Day, some of them three times the amount of the Red
 Cross quota. I know it can be
 done and will be, if for no other reason than to prove to the Territory and Pacific Area that Seward is made up of responsi-
 ble people who can hold up
 their end of anything.

The boys in the shop today are talking about getting rich quick. Bonnie has been reading about fabulous treasure in dia- monds to be picked up off the beach in a certain spot in Africa. "The only trouble is," says Ron- nie, they have snake down there that spits in your eye, and then you die"
 Another suggests that Monte zuma's treasure has been located some place in Colorado, or is it Utah?
 Maybe it would be a good idea to prospect over in Fourth of July Creek. Lots of gold over there, they say.
 We'll, most of us haven't lost any treasure in Seward, we don't expect to go hunting any one else's, but we can dream, can't we?

WASHINGTON CAMP Since
education plays such an import
ant role in the life Of AN indivi-
dual or nation, citizens of this
country r anxiously hoping that
the second session Of the 81st
Congress will pass an adequate
federal aid to education law.
In a survey just completed by
the research division of the Nat
ional Education association, it
was learned that the two basic
shortages : teachers and buildings
are. making the current year a
period of "strain and stress" for
the nations public school system.
The report revealed that in this
country there is a lack Of quail
fled classroom teachers, particul-
arly inthe elementary schools, and
insufficient buildings to house
steadily increasing enrollments.
Negro children, attending south
ern schools where the dual sys-
tenn is practiced, suffer most
from lack of adequate housing
and equipment as well as the lack
of qualified teachers.
The NEA report stated that one
in every 10 teachers in this
country are working on -emer
gency or temporary certificates.
It also found that there is a
considerable or. very large short
age Of rural elementary teachers
in As states, with teacher short
ages in urban elementary schools
in 81 schools.
The building shortage is very
large for elementary schools in
cities in more than half of the
states, with similar shortages for
rural schools in one-fourth Of the
states.
The survey pointed out that the
national average salary for the in
structional staff is estimated at
less than $4,000 for the current

ed "much remains to be DONE"
"The gains of recent years."
the report pointed out, "have not
removed the undesirable education
al inequalities among the states.
Substantial inequalities in school
opportunities exist within most
states. Even the relatively large
gains in local and state revenues
have not provided the teachers
and facilities needed to meet the
increasing enrollments; they have
not been adequate to overcome
the wartime lag in teacher educa-
ton and school building construc-
ton; and they have not complete
ly offset the decreased purchas-
ing power of the school dollar.
With the passage of federal aid
legislation, these conditions might
be temporarily remedied and
eventually completely corrected.
In proposing the passage Of fed
eral aid to education, Negro vot-
ers are urging that any bill Of
.fered to the Congress will include
an equalization amendment which
will safeguard benefits to Negro

try where segregation is practiced
