At a National School Boards Asso-
citation meeting scheduled for Sept.
29 to October 1 in Kansas City,
Mo-, the question will be discussed
as to how business, industry, and
the professions can contribute tech
niques and ideas that will be use
full in the field of education. May
urge readers to get into these dis
cussions at the grass roots.
How many school children must
Milford accommodate during the
next decade? How much of the prob
lem can be solved by remodeling old
buildings and how much new build
ing viii be needed? Is Milford pay
ing high enough salaries to keep
its good teachers and to attract
new teachers? How much will the
annual operating budget have to
be increased by 1865? How will
this affect the tax rate? How can
we get the most judicious use of
school dollars? These are questions
to which, as an intelligent citizen,
you should have objective, un-
nreiudiced answers. / hone the
White House Conference will move
ia this direction.
Solution To The Teacher Shortage
One of my readers, Mr.. William
C. Wooten OF Greensboro, N. c., has
come up with a suggestion for re-
lieving the teacher shortage. l hope
my readers vii give this idea some
consideration. He proposes free
college education with a bachelors
degree for all qualified students OF
State Universities who will agree
to become teachers for a certain

Dear Friends:-
We just finished our Sunday ira
ditional snack of Pizza pie. Do you
like it? Here in Topeka we have an
excellent Italian restaurant that
makes good pizza and good spagh-
etti, but often it's just too inconven-
lent TO drive over TO Chiarello's
to get dinner" and bring ii home.
We have discovered Appian Way s
Pizza and it's almost like the real
Mccoy. Appian Way, is of course
box mix. You know mel | al
ways add few drops of hot sauce
to the sauce included in the pack
age and we place mushrooms,
cheese and pepperroni on top OF
the sauce. These are not included
in the package either. You ought to
try pizza if you haven't before now,
you're missing something REAL
good.

Babson Park, Mass, Sept. 22. The
first White House Conference on
Education has been called by Presi-
dent Eisenhower to meet in Wash
ington, November % through
December 1. Why will this be
such an important meeting?
Why A White House Conference!
The first reason is because there
is an acute shortage of teachers.
Hence, we must find a way to at
tract many more good people into
the teaching profession. There is
shocking inadequacy of school
housing. Cities and towns already
overburdened by heavy tax loads
must also find a way to build many
more school buildings much more
cheaply than they have in the past.
Just "a months ago our popula-
ton totaled 160,000.000. Today it
has passed 165,000,000, and is in
creasing at a rate of about 100000
year. This means that for every
100 students now in the clasrooms,
there will be 121 by 1860, and 136
by 1865. There viii be 476,000 new
classrooms needed by 1860, plus
the teachers to fill them. IT has
henn estimated that our schools
will need SO billion more annually
to operate in 1865 than they do
today. 1t is to cope with this crisis
that the White House Conference
has been called.
Local Preparations Needed
At least forty state school board
associations have already had re-
gional planning meetings. Local
; citizens meeting by the thousands
will get into full swing this month.

Trniill0,s First EZRA.

Twenty-Five years ago last
August 10th, Generalissimo Rafael
L. Trujillo was elected to the
presidency of a sick and debt
ridden Caribbean nation, engulfed
in turmoil that seemed all but hope
less. Today, the Dominican Repub-
lie is one of the very few COM
pletely debt-free nations in the
world 1t has earned a favorable
trade balance of $50 million dollars.
1t is a bulwark of strength a
gainst Communism and has been
widely cited as one of the cleanest,
healthiest, happiest countries on
the globe.
Guiding spirit of this fabulous
transformation is Generalisimo
TruJillo who worked tirelessly and
effectively through four terms as
president for the prosperity and
progress of his country. Between
terms, as ambassador-at-la he
travelled abroad negotiating agree
ments with foreign nations, and
served also as chief of the Domini-
can delegation to the UN.
Today, on the 25th anniversary OF
it's beginning, Dominicans are cele-
brating-in year-lOng festival
what they call the ERA of Trujillo"
In December in Curiad TrujillC
they will open a twenty-five mil
lion dollar international Fair fol

run through February and will
dramatic the accomplishments Of
the Generalisimo's leadership. Thai
it will draw thousands of visitors
from all over the world, and not
ably from the U. s., is a foregont
| conclusion.
All in all, it is little wonder tha
the Dominican people are reported
urging the Generalissimo to rur
again for the presidency in 1857
But visitors may ask themselves
whether this driving, dynamic
restless leader has left himself
any major chores to do.

In the same vein, the nations
governors at their recent Chicago
meeting took formal notice of the
SIS billion already being collected
from the highway users in taxes
on automobiles, trucks. tires, tubes,
parts and accessories and sug-
gested that these funds be tapped
to finance the enlarged road pro-
gram.
Here, it would seem, is sound
and practical answer to the ques-
tion of who'll PAY?" If it is
to be the highway users, they are
already paying D.. and logic sug-
gests that their present multi
billion dollar annual payments be
drawn upon before they are told
to ante up still more.
Not Enough
Put-up-or-shut-up is the u. ).
position conveyed to Red China
in diplomatic language of course
by Ambassador Alexis U. Johnson
in his Geneva session with the
Reds Wang Ping-nan. There is to
be no talk of any meeting of Secre-
tary of State Dulles with Premier
Chou En-lai until, and unless Red
China delivers the Al Americans
it has promised to release.
Obviously, it felt that this un-
equivocal stand will produce the
civilians in question, since the
Reds envoy is anxious to get on
with discussion of "other practical
matters at issue, such as trade
u. S. recognition and UN member
ship, as well as the high-ievel
meeting.
But unless we include in our
demands the release of any and
all POWs still held in Communist
China, any reward will not be only
exorbitant but shameful.
No Solution
Dock workers of the international
Longshoremans Association are

THE UNENDING REVOLUTION

The elaborate Centennial of Farm Me
chanization, held at Michigan State College
during the August 1920 period and attended
by 100000 people, is over. But the amazing
revolution to which it was. dedicated con-
tinues in full vigor.
1t is almost impossible to exaggerate the
impact of farm mechanization on an Ameri-
can life. In little more than long lifetime
machines made it possible for a small part of
the population to produce an abundance of
food and fiber for all-instead of the great
majority having to work the land from dawn
to dark to produce the necessities of life 1t
thus released tens of millions of people to
work at other tasks, and TO produce the
wealth of goods and services which make up
our American living standards. 1t has
brought the farmer far greater return for
much less arduous labor. 1t has made mod
ern farming into business.
Reporters who accompanied the Soviet
farmers on their tour of Iowa and other
agricultural regions all commented on their
visitors amazement that so few people We're
at work on American farms. They were es-
pecially surprised at the lack of women
workers. who are a mainstay of the COM
nunist farm labor force. The main reason
for this, of course, is mechanization. In ag-
riculture, as in all other pursuits, American
free enterprise has. produced infinitely great
er benefits than communist coercion.

ports.
The Administration will consider,
said Mr.. Benson, plans to rent crop
land that farmers take out of pro-
duction, or to pay subsidies to far
mers undertaking soil conservation
programs.
Meantime Senator Paul H. Doug
las, of Illinois, sought to pillory
President Eisenhower for mis- cam
paign speeches at Kasson, Mimi,
and Brookings, S. D., in which the
Senator claimed Candidate Eisen-
hover promised price supports at
80 and 100 percent of parity. The
COP, he said, was trying to ere
write history" in denying these
promises. What the General said,
you will remember, was that the
farmer should get 100 per cent of
parity ''in the market-place." Which
as a matter of justice and equity,
he certainly should.
Thus, it would seem Senator
Douglas is trying to "rewrite" an
Eisenhower speech. But whatever
the tide of political battle, do not
expect Ezra Taft Benson to re-
write any policies-or any con-
ylcJ1Onk.
Who'll Pay?
Every proposal for a multi
billion dollar federal highway pro-
gram ran up against a big STOP
sign when Congress tried to an
swer the question: WHO'LL
PAY?"
The administration bill called fol
a bond program which would some
how have been outside the national
debt This would have piled uI
over 81 billion in interest charges
and cemented the unpopular fed.
eral gasoline tax permanently into
the nations tax structure. The sub
stitute backed by the House leader
ship added insult to injury by pro-
posing a fifty per cent bOst in the
same overworked gas levy.
During the floor debate on these
measures, Congressman Gardner r
Withrow of Wisconsin put his fin
ger on one big flaw in both pro
posals. Declaring that gasoline is
a commodity which is already be-
ing taxed at a staggeringly high
rate when compared with all the
other automotive products and sup
plies" he noted that the proposed
| increase would mean combined
state and federal tax averaging
nearly forty per cent of the price
or some four times as much al
the tax on outright luxuries.
If added funds are needed, the
Congressman recommended that "w
turn our sights toward some of
the other automotive taxes-the
ones which are not duplicated a
State level and which. therefore,
now carry far lower tax rate.

NOT ENOUGH. RICH people,,

1t used to be said that well-to-do and rich
people could pay most of the taxes, so the
rest of us needn't worry too much about the
cost of government. But that situation is as
dead as the Pharaohs
The federal individual income tax starts
at 20 per cent Then, as income levels rise
surtaxes of from two to II per cent are added
on, making the maximum tax staggering
81 per cent. Despite this, some "a per cent
of our total individual incerne tax revenue
comes from the base rate of 20 per cent
while only 16 per cent comes from the sur
taxes. We just haven't enough rich people

Sorry you haven't been feeling

pleasant things to say. about your
sudden indiSposition, but we think
it's on the up and up.
You see. Ray, we understand the
nature of. your illness-it's an ILL
ness of the spirit. After all, you
were flying high for a time-the
classiest fighter around. You had
class otherwise, too-we thought.
You established yourself in busi-
ness, interested yourself in commu-
nifty affairs, and for a time you
were real solid citizen.
We don't know what really hap
pened in your financial affairs and
it's none of our business. The thing
we hate to see is you-flat on your
back. That's not the way of a
champ and we don't expect it Of
you. You're a thoroughbred, Ray,
and thoroughbreds may be re-
placed but they are never beaten
down. Your fans didn't expect you
to go on and on forever, but they
did expect you to accept defeat
gracefully when it came. You could
not hold the spotlight for all time.
We think you can straighten
things out. for yourself because a
lot of people are in your corner.
So, come on and show yourself for
the champ you are, and whatever
the situation is that is messing up
your private life, give it the old
one-two. Above all, your fans ex-
pect you to fight clean fight with
no low blows. They expect you to

Housing Code Protest
Meetings Continue

"a series of public meetings will
be held in all parts of the city to
explain the proposed "slum clear
ance" housing. code.
This was decided at meeting
of the Phoenix Property Owners
Association held recently at the
Grace Court School, 800 West Ad-
ans, because many people still do
not know that this. code would af-
feet all houses here now"
The purpose Of these meetings
will be to sign and distribute petit
tons to present to the Phoenix
City Council. These petitions state
that any new housing code should
not apply to houses which are here
now !. Otherwise, every time a
new code is passed, we would all
have to rebuild our homes"
The petition also declares that
nobody wants slul1nS, of course.
And all dwellings should be kept
UP in healthy and sanitary con-
dition. But the construction of the
building is one thing, and whether
it is maintained in sanitary con-
dition is another"
Meetings have been scheduled
for next Friday night at Mary
Bethune School, 1910 S. 18th Ave-
nue., Saturday night at Longfellow
School. 1920 E. Adams, and Tues.
day night at Sullivan School, 2 N.
31st Ave.
On March 1, the City Council
withdrew the proposed housing
code because of many objections
which were raised at a series of
meetings held in February. The
Council then announced that. a
new housing cede will be presented
as soon as it is revised"
Property owners may obtain
these petitions at the office of the
