Defends Governors
Highway Committee
Program

Harry l.. Billings, Editor,
The Peoples Voice Publishing Co.,
Helena, Montana.
Dear Sir:
have noted that in the last two
issues of your paper that you accuse
the highway commission of spending
state funds for publishing pamphlets
and other matter pertaining to the
Gvernor's Highway Interim Committee
report and communications.
For your information, DR.. Harry
McGregor of Great Falls, was chairman
of the committee of which the writer
was a member and which committee
raised in the neighborhood of 100000
for the purpose of defraying the cost
of all this printing. In addition to this,
/ happen to be President of the Mon
tana Automobile Association and our
association contributed S1,500.00 to this
fund.
I was also a member at large of the
highway interim committee and / note
your criticism of an additional cent on
gasoline tax as part of the method
recommended to raise the additional
three or three and a quarter million
dollars that the state must raise in
order for sufficient funds to match
the available federal aid which is given
to us on the basis of approximately
57@o federal and 1870 state. I hope you
don't feel that we can afford to lose
this available federal AID. w e Will lose
the federal aid if we are not able to
match it. The only other method of
raising this additional money you sug-
gested is from the truckers. I feel also
that the truckers can pay some addi-
tional tax. I do not know how much
more they can and should pay. How
ever, | am extremely doubtful that
they can pay as much as you suggest.
1t might be well if some of our people
were to know how much the cost to
drive a car over the great mileages of
toll roads being built in the East which
/ assure you / am against at all costs.
1t costs on the ratio of 14c a gallon
to drive over the cheapest toll road
so far in operation and equal to 26c
a gallon over the most expensive one.
Yet the toll roads with these tremen- |
dous charges are carrying traffic
load heavier than was ever anticipated. |
In lieu of conditions as we find them |
believe the program as recommended |
by the Governors interim committee
the most equitable solution that any |
one can come up with at the present |
time. Kindest regards. Sincerely. -

will you please send me the extra copy
soon as I feel compelled to give my

more subscriptions by so doing.
SO our friend OConnor couldn't stay

CONGRESS LIKELY TO
OKAY MORE HOUSING
THAN IKE is SEEKING

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The next
Congress probably will approve more
public housing units than the Presi-
dent will ask for, two Democratic SEN
ators have forecast.
Federal Housing Chief Cole has
indicated that the administration will
ask Congress to authorize 10000 new
units over a two-year period. At
present the housing agencies are
trying to see how many of the $4,000
units Congress vouchsafed for this
fiscal year can be built despite severe
COP restrictions.
Sen. John j. Sparkman (D-Ala.) !,
who likely will be Housing Subcom-
mittee chairman in the Senate Bank
ing Committee, told reporters that
the 1854 law is so restrictive it is
doubtful that more than 10000 units
can be built. He fought unsuccess-
fully against the restrictions.
MUST BE REMOVED
''These restrictions must be re-
moved" he said, and predicted they
probably will be when Congress acts
on the law.
He indicated that he'll work for
a law that leaves it up to:
THE President to recommend
how many units should be built each
year.
2-Congress to decide how many.
The present law sets maximum
limit.

strictions and favored $4,000 yearly

Because the crisis in education is
too grave for nothing but more study
and more talk, number of bills have
already been introduced to help the
states and the local school districts
solve our greatest domestic problem.
This is the shortage of classrooms
in which our youngsters can get the
education upon which a democracy
rests.
/ have discussed this shortage with
you many times in the past two years,
particularly since | was appointed to
the special subcommittee studying
Federal Aid to public school construc-
ton.
Between 1910 and 1854, the num-
ber of children in our elementary
and secondary schools increased to
almost SO million from 25. By 1865
it is estimated that we'll have more
than 48 million children of school
age in this country. That would be an
increase of II million or four
children where there now are three.
Today we're short classrooms for
about one of three.
We need $4,000 classrooms, which
would cost about IL billion to build.
We're building classrooms at the
rate of $4,000 a year. But that isn't
half enough. We're falling short at
the rate of another $1,000 year.
My subcommittee unanimously ap-
proved our bill, introduced on the
opening day of this session of Con-
gress by the ranking majority and
minority leaders of the subcommittee.
The bill finds that in spite of
sustained and vigorous efforts by
The people's voice., 1955-01-21

accommodate large families in dis
treSs.
The Milwaukee Housing Authority,
with 958 low-rent units, has only four
with four bedrooms and none larger.
One of the projects, Hillside Terrace,
was built under the Mccarthy Act
when funds were not available for
any considerable number of large
units. 1t has only eight four-bedroom
ones. Westlawn, 726-unit project
built under the 1949 act, has 38 four
bedroom units. But another 1,487
units in the Milwaukee program, made
up of three city aided veterans prof.
ects and a PWA project, have no
units larger than three bedrooms.
SOME DISCOURAGEMENT
Nor has local authority near Pitts
burgh been successful in meeting the
needs of large families. For some
cations from large families because
of its inability to house them and be-
cause it has waiting list of approx
mately 800 families that need mini
mum of four bedrooms.
And Philadelphia, which has built
9 per cent of its 1949 act units in
large units, still cannot meet all the
needs of large families. A recent
newspaper story reported that
mother and her eight children are
21st on the list to get one of the II
five-bedroom units in recently
opened project.
Boston, on the other hand, made
room this year in a low-rent project
for a widow and her 16 children.
Housing officials gave the woman a
five-bedroom dwelling, largest avail
able, and said they would make altera-

Starting with the story of Donalc
Braman of Newport, R. l., his wife
and family, now including seven chill
dren, the Journal told how the Bra
mans moved into small Newport
public housing apartment II years
ago, moved to larger quarters as
more children were born, and finally
moved out when his income exceeded
the limit.
Braman said his new 10-room
house, built largely by his own work,
was made possible ''in large sense
by the opportunity of living in the
project where the rent was proper
tionate to income"
The story of how public housing
welcomed and made special provision
for a large and growing family in
the Braman case is repeated across
the nation, asserts the Journal of
Housing.
Across the country, local housing
authorities have been building for
and admitting families with many
children, meeting a need that few
private DuIQ6TS are meeting.
LARGE FAMILIES INCREASING
The need for large units is a
growing one-in both the public and
private housing markets.
Although 1850 census figures show
that the average family was smaller
in 1850 than it was in 1910 Git had |
decreased from 81 persons to 3.0), |
the number of five-or-more-p
families is expanding.
This apparent discrepancy is ex
planned by the fact that the number
of one-and-two-person households has
also been increasing and at an even
more rapid rate than the large fami-
lies. Thus the larger number of small
families more than offsets the big
families, with the result the average
family size is smaller.
Fortune Magazine in its February,
1854, issue pointed out that the num-
ber of large families is increasing
and saw in that increase a new de-
mand for larger new houses.
The Chicago SunTimes in Novem-
Der claimed that the high birth rate
and the declining marriage rate
means families are getting larger and
said the 1854 rate is 3.5 persons per
family, instead of the 1850 average
of only three persons.

tions to provide more space if neces-
sary.
Detroit, Chicago and Youngstown,
Ohio, have also made big units avail
able by converting two small ones
into one large one.
The Hawaii Housing Authority has
been meeting part of the problem by
use of territorial funds available for
housing. 1t Puahala Homes was built

CRISIS IN EDUCATION TOO GRAVE
FOR CONTINUED INACTiOh
By CONG. LEE METCALF

| the states and local communities the
number of classrooms for free public
education falls short of the need The
bill continues:
"While the Congress recognizes
that responsibility for educating our
children lies primarily with the states
and local communities, the current
shortage of classrooms results from
abnormal conditions and con-
stitutes a threat to the security and
welfare of the nation as whole.
The national interest requires that
the Federal government join. with
state and local governments in solv-
ing this pressing problem. 1t is the
purpose of this Act to provide for
Federal payments to state educational
agencies to enable the states and
local communities to expand their
school construction programs to the
extent necessary to provide school
facilities adequate to their needs"
The bill carries no appropriation.
1t authorizes appropriation during
the six years beginning next July l
of "such amounts as may be neces-
sary to make payments to state
agencies to accomplish the purpose
of this Act"
It is like the Federal Highway
Act in that it provides for state
matching funds. The state shall put
up half the money for the Federal
aid school construction program
within its borders approved by the
state probably
the State Board of Education in
Montana.
The money available for matching
by each state will be in the same
ratio to the total appropriation as
each states school population bears
to the total school-age population
in the United States. Distribution of
funds within a state is
eft entirely to the state agency. The
Dill contains this clause, titled "As-
surance Against Federal Interfer-
snce in Schools"
''In the administration of this Act,
no department, agency, officer or
employe of the United States shall
exercise any direction, supervision
,r control over the personnel, curric-
llum, or program of instruction of
my school or school system of any
chool agency"
Although the 84th Congress is
,nly three weeks old, there have
,een many other bills introduced to
olive this national problem. One of
hem can, and should, be passed soon.
| was surprised and pleased to
earn that President Eisenhower has
hanged his mind on the question of
federal equalization of school con-
truction costs. In October, his Com
missioner of Education, on behalf
f his Secretary of Health, Educa-
ion and Welfare, said there wouldn't
e any Federal aid this year. But
n his State of the Union message
1r. Eisenhower called for "affirma
i've action now" He said he would
end us a special message on this
ubject February Is. By that time
e could have Federal aid bill on
is desk.
The alternative to action now is
1e one proposed by Mr.. Eisenhower's
ecretary of Health, Education and
Ielfare-a conference scheduled
ere late next November. BY the
me these conferences meet and
ct together on recommendation
