Of Jerusalem said earlier in the

issued instructions to prepare
for the departure OF q convoy
through Jordan's line possibly
tomorrow.
This was considered a tipoff
that q solution was imminent
since Jordan must have prior
notice in order to prepare an
escort for the convoy.
1t apparently was a second
proposal by Mr.. Hammarskjold
that brought a solution. A
usually well informed source
said he made a proposal in
opening talks yesterday but
this was rejected by Israel.

Busic Principles

Certain basic principles must
govern legislation on Federal
grants for school construction, if
they are to serve the cause of
education most effectively.
First, the program must be
recognized as an emergency
measure designed to assist and
encourage the States and COM
munities in catching up with
their needs. Once the accumu-
lated shortage is overcome, II
State and local autonomy in edu-
cation is to be maintained, the
States and communities must
meet their future needs with
their own resources and the
Federal grant program must
terminate. The States and COM
munities already are building
schools at rate which clearly
shows their ability to do this.
Second, Federal aid must no
infringe upon the American pre-
cept that responsibility for con.
troll of education rests with the
States and communities. School
construction legislation should
state this policy in no uncertain
terms.
Third, Federal aid should slim.
ulate greater State and local eff.
forts for school construction
Many States now make no con.
tribution to school construction
and in some States which d.
contribute the amount is rela.
lively small. Further, to in
crease total funds for school con.
struction. Federal grants should
be matched by State-appropri.

Federal Aid for

a greater State and local effort:

facilities and the least loca
ability to meet the need.

Office Of Education

BY providing statistics and
analyses on trends in education,
and by administering other serv-
ices, the United States Office OF
Education performs a valuable
role in helping public and private
educational institutions better to
perform their tasks.
A significant first step was
taken last year toward strength
ening the Office of Education,
The appropriation for the Office
was increased to implement a
cooperative research program
and to expand statistical and
professional advisory services
and studies.
This year ! am asking for in
creases in funds for these activ-
tiles, because they hold such
promise for real progress toward
solving some Of the basic and
UNDERSTANDING problems in edu-
cation.

old or otherwise inadequate. They
should be promptly replaced.
The need for Federal assist
ance in eliminating this shortage
is not theory, but demonstrated
fact. 1t cannot now be said
realistically-that the States and
communities will meet the need.
The classroom shortage has been
apparent for a number of years.
and the States and communities
have notably increased their
school building efforts. Each
year, for several years, they have
set new record in school con-
struction. And yet. in the face
of a vast expansion in enroll
ments each year, many areas are
making inadequate progress in
reducing the shortage accumu-
lated over many past years. The
rate of State and local construc-
ton is spotty, with noticeable
lags in areas where needs are
expanding most rapidly.
4-Point Plan
I propose, therefore, a compre-
hensive program of Federal as
sistance. The program is de-
signed to accomplish in four
years what last years proposal
would have done in five. since one
year has already been lost.
urge the Congress to authorize:
ID F'deral grants to the States
for school construction. at the
rate Of 1925 million a year for
four years, total of $l.3 billion.
co The authorization Of $3.50
million over the four-year period
for Federal purchase of local
school construction bonds when
school districts cannot market
the mat reasonable interest rates.
These loan funds would be made
available to the States on the
basis of Sabotage population.
The State educational agency
would determine the priority OF
Local school districts for Federal
loans based on their relative need
for financial aid in the construc-
ton of needed school facilities.
(3) Advances to help provide
reserves for bonds issued by
State chool-f1nancing agencies
This would facilitate the issuance
of these bonds to finance schools

ated funds after the first year
Of the program.
Fourth, the ALLEGATION Of Fed
eral funds among the States
should take into account school,
age population. relative financial
ability to meet school needs, and
the total effort within the States
to provide funds for public
schools. An ALLEGATION system
based solely on school-age pop
ulation would tend to concen-
trate Federal aid in wealthy
States most able to provide for
their own needs. An ALLEGATION
system which provides more as
sistance to States with the great
est financial need will help re-
duce the shortage more quickly
and more effectively.
Fifth, in distributing grants
under this program within each
State. priority should be given
to local districts with the great
est need for school facilities and
the least financial ability to meet
the need.
"Means i. for Enlarging Life"
In a Nation which holds sacred
the dignity and worth Of the in
dividual. education is first and
foremost an instrument for
serving the aspirations of each
person. It is not only the means
for earning a living, but for
enlarging life-for maintaining
and improving liberty Of the
mind, for exercising both the
rights and obligations of free
dom, for understanding the
world in which we live.
Collectively, the educational
equipment Of the whole popula-
ton contributes to our national
character-our freedom as a Ma
ton. our national security. our
expanding economy, our cultural
attachments, our unremitting eff
forts for a durable peace.
The policies I have recon-
Imended in education are de-
signed to further these ends.

A former newsman In Detroit

He specifically exempted from

years. Mr.. Eisenhower said eff
forts must begin now to meet
increasing needs for education
beyond the high school. To en-
courage such action, he recon-
mended grants to the States Of
$2.5 million a year for three
years to finance co-ordinated
study by both public and private
education officials in the States.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-28

certain appropriate steps to en-
courage such action.
Already the Congress has en-
acted legislation for long-term
loans by the Housing and Home
Finance Agency to help colleges
and universities expand their
dormitory and other self-liqui-
dating facilities.
Last year I appointed a Com
mittee on Education Beyond the
High School. composed of dis
tinguished educational. and lay
leaders, to study and make
recommendations in this field.
The committees interim report
of last November delineates issues
that should have the most care
full attention.
More Planning Needed
1t pointed out that much more
planning is needed at the State
level to meet current and future
needs in education beyond the
high school. The Congress at
the past session enacted Public
Law 813, which authorized Fed
eral funds to help the States
establish State committees on
education beyond the high
school. The funds however, were
not appropriated. I recommend
that the Congress now appro-
pirate the full amount authorized
under this legislation.
The State committees can do
much to promote discussion, de-
fine problems, and develop
recommendations. Their recon-
mendations, however. must be
supplemented by detailed plans
to meet specific needs for ex-
pansion Of physical facilities, en-
largement Of faculties, and other
adjustments which may provide
new or different institutions.
Such detailed planning requires
the co-ordinated effort of both
public and private education in
each State-and time, person.
mel. and funds.
I recommend that the Con-
gress amend Public Law 813 so
as TO authorize grants to the
States of $2.5 million a year for
three years for these purposes.
