Bill Would Base
Federal Grants
On Tax Losses
BY ALEX r.. PRESTON

Representative Hyde, Repub-
lican of Maryland, said today
he is drafting legislation to pro-
vide that all Federal financial
aid to localities be based on the
amount of Government-owned
property taken off local tax rolls.
The decision is an outgrowth
Iof debate on the $2.8 billion
budget bill for the Department
lof Health. Education and We'll
fare.
Mr.. Hyde said under his
proposal existing Federal aid
programs would have to be
repealed.
MY idea," he said, "is that
these payments by the Govern
ment should be based fatty on
the amount of taxes the Federal
Government is denying to the
localities. ! don't believe the
money should be distributed un-
der the various complicated for
mulas. Federal aid to education
is only one of them"
Taber Proposal Rejected
Mr.. Hyde decided to offer the
legislation after the House yes
terday turned down an amend
.ment by Representative Taber,
Republican of New York. that
would have severely trimmed
Federal aid to impacted areas.
The Taber amendment was
bitterly attacked by Mr.. Hyde
and Representative Broyhill. Re-
publican of Virginia, both of
whom represent suburban Wash
ington areas which are large
beneficiaries of Federal aid to
education.
Under the huge HEW appro-
priation bill, $127 million has
been set aside for Federal aid
to education in impacted areas.
The House defeated by a vote
of 62-49 an amendment by Rep
Iresentative Bow, Republican of
Ohio, that would have cut this
sum to about $113 million.
Based on U. S. Workers
Mr.. Bow last month criticized
what he described as "luxuries"
and secrecy in connection with
the Arlington County school
budget.
Under present law, Federal aid
is based on the number of chill
dren whose parents are employed
by the Federal Government. The
Taber amendment, killed by
voice vote, would have elm
mated as factor in distributing
the money those children who
had lived in the locality for
more than five years.
THE debate on this measure
today Mr.. Hyde told the House,
points up the necessity for a
serious congressional study to be
made of payments in lieu Of
taxes by the Federal Govern
ment in those areas where they
have large Federal installations"
Mr.. Hyde said today that he
had offered legislation at the
last session proposing Federal
payments based on properties
withheld from local tax rolls.
1t failed to pass.
Fogarty Hits Plan
Representative Fogarty, Demo-
GRAFT of Rhode Island. said the
Taber amendment was too far
reaching to be considered on the
floor without having had pre-
viouS committee elaboration.
Il believe that the gentleman
from Rhode Island hit the nail
on the head" Mr.. Broyhill said.
when he said the main objec-
ton to this amendment is that
it is something that should be
worked out in the proper legisla-
tive committee. This formula I'M
Ger which this law is admin
istered is a very complicated
and confusing formula. The
formula is not satisfactory to
me. and would like to have it

to translate into more diplomatic

was quoted as saying. THE

out getting into the war is the
necessary art. If you cannot

from it. If you are scared to &c

ON DRIVING

There is one remedy which
might curtail the amount of
drunken driving on U. S. high
ways. 1t was used recently in
Russia and it certainly elimi-
mates the possibility of a re-
currence of this offense by the
same party.
Not long ago a driver in Rus
STA hurrying along on an
icy road, attempted to pass an
other vehicle, skidded and struck
four pedestrians. One of the pc
destrians was killed.
The driver was held and tried
by a Soviet court and found gull
ty of reckless driving and homi-
eide, and sentenced to death. A
death for a death, SO to speak,
was the Russian justice dispensed.
Although we do not propose
such a penalty in the United
States, the fact that one uninten-
tionally kills, rather than inten-
tionally, nevertheless fails to be
of any value to the victim, death
being a pretty permanent affair.
1t might be that a suitable pen
atty for reckless driving, under
the influence, which takes a life,
should include a bar from pos
session of a drivers license for
a number of years - if and
when the courts punishment is
served.
And, while we do not favor
the death penalty for accidents,
even if they are the result of
negligence or driving under the
influence, the taking of other
lives on the highways, because
of excuses by the driver, is per-
haps as reprehensible, as killing
another person in a fit of rage in
any unprecedented manner.
And since ones conscience is a
harder judge than Sthe courts,
thought along this line is certain
ly in order.

Nothing is more basic in Mon
tana's industrial development
than a tax structure which at
least is not prejudicial to the in
vestment of capital in the state.
If a prospective industry believes
it would be soaked by the tax
collector, without even a stay
of execution until the investment
could become financially pro-
ductive, we are not going to be
able to persuade many industries
to locate in Montana.
We all know things are wrong
with our state tax structure. Also,
it may be that in some areas of
fetal attitude on tax theory and
policy is wrong. Equity in tax
alton is a goal we as a state
have been striving for quite a
while. We can never reach that
goal absolutely, but certainly it
should be possible for us to make
sure that the saying that the
power to tax is the power to de-
stroy does not become a reality
in Montana - and in the United
States.
In a degree, we can equalize
taxes. In a greater degree we
can prevent tax policies from re-
tarding Montana's economic
growth and stability. Going be-
yond this, we can reduce taxes,
but the first step in that direc-
ton will have to be the reduction
of public expenditures.

MEDICAL EDUCATION WEEK

Every time we call a doctor
we acknowledge our debt to med
ical education. Every time we
consult a specialist, send some
one to the hospital, fill a pre-
scription or take a drink of safe
water - we pay a tribute to the
nations 81 medical schools.
The average American, it i:
safe to say, ows the last 81 years
of his life to medical science. In
1900, life expectancy at birth
was 40 years. Today it is 20.
Life-Saving drugs and miracle
cures appear in a steady pro-
cession. Infectious diseases every
where are in retreat. Atomic
science and nuclear physics are
paving the way for new labor
atory triumphs.
However, there is another side
to the coin. The very medical
progress of which we are so
proud - and for which medical
schools r primarily responsible
- has involved the schools in a
struggle for solvency that can
affect the future health and well
fare of the nation.
At stake is not only the ability
of the schools to supply medical
personnel and meet their current
obligations, but also their ability
to realize the full potential of
the biological sciences and to
fulfill new opportunities for ad-
vancing the nations health.
Unless the schools get addition
al support, the peoples demand
for more doctors, more research,
more services may go unheeded.
Many talented young men and
women may be denied an oppor-
to learn medicine.
New medical discoveries bene-
fit no one unless there are skill
ed physicians to apply them.
Industry has a direct self-in-
terest in medical education. In
iustrial health programs and
health safeguards jointly
pay dividends in increased eff
Iiciency, stepped-up man-hour
production, reduced on-the-job
illness and accident rates, reduced
absenteeism, lowered insurance
premiums and improved employee
morale. Numerous beforehand
after surveys of industrial plants
show reductions to so percent in
absenteeism from illness and &C
cidents.
Considering what may be at

If the American people - it is

MAY

MAY
Springs last-born darling, clear
eyed, sweet,
Pauses a moment with
twinkling feet,
And golden locks in breezy
play,
Half-teasing and half-tender,
to repeat,
Her song of May.
Susan Coolidge.
May, which probably derives its
name from Maia, the mother of
Mercury, is the last Spring
month. 1t is a particularly pleas
ant month in the United States,
and most countries and signifies
the end of school for millions of
students.
The belief that May is an UNI
lucky month for marriage is a
hangover from the old Roman
belief that the good goddess Fau-
na was a prophetic divinity, who
revealed her knowledge only to
females. And the festival of the
goddess was celebrated in May.
Also, the festival of the unhappy
dead was also celebrated in that
month. The month was not sup
posed to be lucky for marriages
because of these two festivals.
Probably then, June became a
popular month for marriages,
since it followed May and since
postponed probably
took place the following month,
or in June. Likewise, May Day
observed on the first day of May
traces back to the days of the
Romans and to the annual Flor
ALA Floralia took its name from
Flora, the goddess of flowers. 1t

have observed the day even ear
