D'EWART's GlvEAWAY RECORD IS

has been hostile to the widespread
enjoyment of our great Western
outdoors for recreation and for
public purposes. 1t is incredible
that Mr.. Mckay should try to place
D'Ewart in a position where he
could have custody of our public
domain"
Neuberger was particularly critical
of D'Ewart's introduction of graz
ing bill in the SD Congress which the
Senator described as giving about
$4,000 favored stockmen larger
measure of control over our National
Forests than 100000 mixers, fish
ermen, hunters and campers, who use
the forests for recreation"
The Oregon Senator also criticized
role in trying to obtain
passage in the House of Representa-
tives of the Ellsworth Gordon timber
exchange bill. Neuberger said that
this bill gave the big lumbermen,
and only the big lumbermen, an OPP
portunity to roost permanently on
some of the finest public timber acre
age belonging to the Forest Service
md even the National Park Service"

NEUBERGER JOINS MURRAY
IN OPPOSING D'EWART'S
APPOINTMENT

Sen. Richard Neuberger (D-Ore.) /,
announced through his office in
Washington Tuesday that he intends
to vote against confirmation of Yves
ley D'Ewart of Montana to be Assist
ant Secretary of the Interior when
the selection comes before the Senate
in January. D'Ewart received an in
term appointment from Secretary of
Interior Mckay last week.
Neuberger is a member of the Sen
ate Committee on Interior and In
sular affairs, which must consider
the D'Ewart nomination.
The 42-year-old Oregon Senator
stated that he based his stand on
the fact that "Mr. D'Ewart's en-
tire approach to natural resources
has been based on favoritism to
special interests and monopoly. He

D'Ewart appointment" he said. II be-
lieve too the record of my more than
20 years in the US. Senate, and prev

fices, will show that I have never been
vindictive against unsuccessful can
didates who opposed me, as Mr.. D.
Ewart did in 1854, even though in
this instance the campaign tactics
used against me were reprehensible.
II make this brief statement for
the sole purpose of putting before the

Says Assembly of Youth
U.s. MUST EXPAND farm MARKETS,
NOT CURB PRODUCTION

OBERLIN COLLEGE, Ohio.-Parity
price supports for farm products to
assist the farmer in raising his annual
income were urged here by the final
session of the recent United States
Assembly of Youth.
Dealing with the theme Freedom
in the Balance" the six-day national
"town- meeting" of more than 200
young adult leaders termed the plight
of the American farmer a major con-
Germ of all sectors of the economy
Coming from about 35 states and
the District of Columbia, the partici-
pants were sent by 80 national young
adult organizations representing re-
ligious, farm, labor, community and
political groups, as well as the armed
services.
The Assembly adopted report en-
titled "The Farmer and Economic
Progress" in which it stressed the
causes of the farmers economic diff
culties. These included the failure of
the farmers income to keep pace
with that of the average industrial
workers income, the decline of farm
population, the high cost of starting
and maintaining a farm, and the |
farm SURPRISES.
The young adult participants from
Ill walks of American life endorsed

One of the most amazing features
of the Federal Power Commission
decision to give the Hells Canyon
damsite to the Idaho Power Company
was the brush-off given to recreation.
The Commissions opinion said, eve
conclude that the public purposes
such as recreation, could be effectu-
ated to about the same extent under
either plan of development"
The only other part of the opinion
that touched upon the question of
recreation is as follows: "In consid-
ering the recreational aspect of the
two alternative plans, it is apparent
from the record that if reasonably
good access roads are provided-in the
Hells Canyon area, it will become an
recreational attraction no

| the farmer TO overcome these OBJ
stacles. They labelled as desirable
such past government programs a;
price supports, commodity credit, anc
conservation and agricultural extern.
sion services.
Farm SURPRISES in thems elves, the
USA1 report noted, are not evil;
in fact, SURPRISES are usually de-
sirable as buffer against lean
years, as a stimulus against under
production, and as source of food
stuffs for needy millions at home
and abroad.
At the same time, however, the As
sembly recognized the need for gov
eminent program to protect the farm
er from economic catastrophe by
maximizing the use of these SURPRISES
abroad. An Assembly report on trade
and aid recommended two measures
to utilize these SURPRISES overseas.
First, the participants agreed, d.
rect gifts of food SURPRISES should be
speedily dispatched to emergency
famine areas with no political strings
attached.
Second, the United States should
pursue an ever-increasing liberaliza-
ton of its foreign trade policy in
order to enable foreign purchasers,
through increased dollar earnings, to
BUY large quantities of American ag-
-icultural produce, particularly those
which have significant
annual SURPRISES.
The report cautioned, however, that |
American SURPRISES should not be |
dumped" abroad to undercut the |
economies of other nations.
The difficulties in acquiring own
ership of farm were cited as the
greatest single problem facing the
young adult farmer. The Assembly
suggested as remedies extended
loan programs by government and
farm agencies, assisting in locating
available farm land, and increased
formation of Patterson business
in which ownership
would be shared equally.
The Assembly also urged farm or
to establish young adult I
rograms and underscored the lack
f farm youth participation in farm /
nd other organizations.

atoms and five continents attended

Henry Toy, executive director c
National Citizens Commission fo
Public Schools, of New York City, wa
the speaker at the banquet which enc
ed the first day of the meeting. To
said that greater and broader publ
interest is the most important nee
of education today. He said con
ferences, similar to the one being hele
in Helena, are being conducted il
other states, and that already mucl
information and facts have been sen
to Washing consideration BY
the Forthcoming Presidents 49,
House Conference on Educati9r
which have never been accumulated
before on the needs of the nations
public schools.
Such major problems as financing,
keeping teachers and improving IA
cilities, Toy said, hinge on continuing
and increasing public interest. If
the general public lays aside its APP
athy, school problems can be solved
con the local level".
TO FINANCE EDUCATION
In addition to recommending high
er income and corporation license tax
schedules, the conference urged a
study be made of severance taxes on
minerals, oil, gas, and on such re-
sources as timber which presently are
without severance taxes.
Another recommendation asks en-
forcement of the law providing for
reclassifying of all property for as
sessment purposes, and that counties
proceed as rapidly as possible to
equalize assessed valuations.
Also asked is a more thorough in
vestigation of income from state
lands and the possibility such income
can be increased.
Another recommendation asked
that a study be made as to the advis-
ability of the federal government be-
ing required to pay amounts, in lieu
of taxes, to counties or to the state
equivalent to income that would be
derived if those federal lands and pro-
perties were on the tax rolls.
Not a SINCE one of the / 6 dis
cussion groups recommended i'm
position of a general sales tax,
however, five groups did suggest
further study be given this possible
source of additional revenue.
Delegates by unanimous vote, also
pposed proposal to increase district
nd county levies on property for
inancin gpurposes. They did back
roposal, however, to increase prop
rty assessments in counties (which I
re now under-assessed.
Another proposal turned down was
ne to impose state millage levies on
roperty for elementary and second
~ schools in addition to the present
x-mill university levy.
Nine of the 16 conference groups t
commended against additional fed
al aid. Three said they wanted |
)ne. Two others would accept fed
al aid for construction, and two v
vored federal equalization. |

WHAT ABOUT BUILDING AND
EQUIPMENT NEEDS?

Adequate building programs should
be designed so that overcrowding is
not problem. Such programs should
have minimum standards for good
physical health and wellbeing of both
teachers and pupils.
A state department consultant to
assist school boards in planning build
ings, advising them on locations and
in bonding procedures should also be
provided, delegates agreed.

of salaries. To correct this the con
ference said that teachers salaries
should be increased to a point com
mensurate with other professions OF
equal training, and comparable to
those of the IL western states.
Superior teachers should receive
additional compensation while mini
mum salary standards should be in
creased. Salaries paid state educa-
ton department employees and county
superintendent should also be rails
ed
Professional teaching standards
should be kept high, with four-year
college training period desirable as
the goal of all teachers. Rural teach
ers should be afforded special train
ing.
1t was also suggested that univer-
sites might consider concessions for
students who enter the field of edu-
cation.
Among other things for encour-
aging more people to enter the teach
ing profession, were suggested i'm
proved working conditions with less
teacher load, better housing and more
in teacher training pro-
grams. Also strong PTA programs
were proposed.
Another important recommends |
ton was to permit teachers to live
their own lives in local communities
without always expecting teachers to
10 extra, non-cirricular jobs.
