During floor action yesterday.
Representative ward w.
Smith, Democrat, of Virginia
protested that this provision was
general legislation in an appro-
priations bill-something forbid
den under House rules. His
point was sustained and that
section was knocked out Of the
bill without vote.
Mr.. Taber and Representative
Thomas. Democrat, of Texas,
senior Democrat on a subcom-
mittee which wrote the bill, said
this killed any authority for
starting new units.
But House Majority Leader
Halleck and Chairman Wolcott
of the Banking Committee con-
tended 1852 and 1853 hous-
ing laws still apply. and
they insisted these statutes
authorize $4,000 new units next
fiscal year. units for which the
Government already has con-
tracted.
They said they had letters
from the controller general and
housing administrator to sup
port their position.

Sounds reasonable.

1t is. Chevrolet, you know, is Ameri-
cas- lowest-priced line of cars. And
for 1854 it offers more things more
people want than ever before. There's
new beauty, for example, and new
power-to say nothing of money-sav-

President Delighted

President Eisenhower said to-

House have won assurance for
appropriations for starting con-
struction of $4,000 public housing
units in the next fiscal year.
This was his Interpretation OF

which would have limited public

the second place car. And today there
are over two million more Chevrolets
on the road than any other make.
More Chevrolets are bought, so Chev-
rolet builds more cars, so Chevrolet
can build them better and sell them
for less. And don't forget that as
part of General Motors, Chevrolet
shares the industry's greatest facili-
ties for engineering and research and
all the advantages of greater purchas-

What do automobile sales records mean to me-?

Why should / be interested in the
fact that one car Outseus another?
Well, let's begin right at the begin
ming. When you 60 out to buy car,
you look for the best possible value at
the lowest possible price. Right?
Sure, but I don't see Uhere
that enters into it.
Here's the point: Automobile sales
records are big factor in determin-
ing which make of car will give you
the most for your money.
HOlO do you figure?
You see, it all goes back to the one
thing that has made our country the
best fed, best clothed, best housed and
"best card" in the world-mass pro-
duction. AS you know, we Americans
make things by the millions, not one
at a time. That way we can make them
good deal better, and we can sell them
at price that puts them within easy
reach of great many people.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-31
This gets better and better.

Chevrolet's sales leadership means
you get more for your money. And it
means something else that's mighty
important to you.
What's that?
1t means that a whale of a lot Of peo-
pie agree with your choice when you
choose Chevrolet, and Hey, where
are you going?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-31
I knOlU that mass production
is mighty important.

It's the same way with cars. Mass pro-
duction methods bring down the cost
and bring up the quality. In fact,
that's what made the horse and buggy
past history.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-31
Check.

Naturally, the car manufacturer who
sells the most, builds the most. And,
through bigger production, he enjoys
greater efficiency and effects bigger
economies. These savings can be
passed along to you in terms of higher
quality and lower cost.

Food quality has improved, too.
Chemicals are now added to foods
for eye appeal, keeping quality, re-
tanning color, texture and flavor,
and in some instances to make
foods easier to prepare. Foods are
better protected against insects,
contamination and mold. Packag-
ing and marketing practices de-
veloped through research make it
possible to transport fresh foods to
all parts of the country and give
the homemaker a wielder selection
for her menus.
Advances in preservation me-

shortened the time necessary for

RE. SHOULD WE ELECT the STATE BOARD OF

a public servant, as well as the of
ficeholder, and he is to very great
extent dependent on his patronage
for his job. His security often lies in
promoting the status quo, or at least
avoiding any deviation from it,
which unfortunately deprives him of
his freedom to exercise his initiative
in promoting new and progressive
ideas. This is not only true today in
this age of suspicion and fear but
it has always been so.
Teachers are probably more aware
some of them-of the tagging be-
hind of our educational system and
of how static its processes are. They
are probably aware that we con-
tinue to stifle the natural impulses
of our children that need free ex-
preston in order to achieve creative
growth-the development of initia-
tive and the encouragement of the
free flow of personality. But they
are chained to a system of teaching
that assumes that education is the
mastery of principles and ideas pro-
mulgated by past generation. That
it is a finality which ends with book
learning.
Our educational system has not yet
learned that people are the most i'm
portant asset in society and that
the most crying need for study is a
study in human relationships. The at
mosphere of the average public school
room is unsocial and gives rise to
competition as a way of life. Each
one works by himself and he is en-
couraged to beat the other fellow
which is altogether the opposite of
helping him.
We have developed clone wolf"
culture, largely through our public
schools. 1t is a culture of exploita-
ton and disregard of our fellowman
and has isolated one from the other.
In suggesting that the State Board
of Education be elected by popular
vote, it does not necessarily follow
that we would choose progressive
body, sensitive to the needs of the
time, but it would be altogether pos
sible to change its character and to
make it more responsive to the think
ing of progressive groups. AS it is

Discussion Continues
BY MARIE EATON, Hinsdale

We, the South Valley County
Farmers Union, appreciate the ar
ticle and comments by Mr.. Edmund
Freeman of Missoula on the resolu-
ton calling for an elected State
Board of Education. (VOICE, Jan.
-.
The resolution referred to was
somewhat in the nature of a "stab
in the dark" and was designed pri-
marily to direct attention to the in
adequacies of our school system and
to stimulate thought in that direc-
ton. Our organization is cognizant
of the Importance of free discussion
of whatever subject and we shall
be gratified to see further response
whether it be agreement or disagree
ment.
In sending in the resolution, we
had in mind not so much a short
range consideration as a long-range
perspective. The people must first
become aware of a need before any
thing can be done about it. We have
in mind slowly evolving purpose
a trial and error eXperience-to
bring about concerted effort to
bring our educational processes out
of the "sticks."
To point to any isolated case or
cases has little merit in determining
the consequences of either an elect
ed or an appointed school board. To
compare the efficiency of an elected
school board with an appointed high
school board is as irrelevant as to
point to the elective State Board of
Education set up in Texas in 1949 in
a reform measure to replace the old
politically controlled Board appointed |
by the Governor.
In suggesting that the State Board |
should be elected, we had in mind |
that we would at least take it out |
of the realm of the possibility of po-
litical trading and exploitation and |
give the responsibility back to the
people who must concern themselves
with the character of the education
which We provide for our children.

by the teaching profession is "leav-

$40 MILLION ANNUAL TAX
GIFT TO UTILITIES is
PROTESTED BY ELLIS

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Securities
& Exchanges Commission is changing
its rules so as to shift $40 million
a year in taxes from utility holding
company investors to electric con-
sumers, Clyde T. Ellis, National Rural

Protesting the proposed change, Ell
lis said it is part of a concerted eff
fort to increase stakeholder dividends
at the cost of the electric consumer.
At every turn, there is a new attempt
of this kind" He pointed out how
Federal Power Commission recently
denied electric consumers the bene-
fits of fast tax write-offs. These
write-offs are, in effect, interest
free federal loans totaling $840 mil
lion to electric utilities.
"And now the holding companies
are joining the parade on alloca-
ton of federal income taxes due I'M
der consolidated returns" he said.
'This is not the time to increase the
consumers burdens for the benefit
of already well-paid stockholders. -
