Posen-RobbinS School District 1872
To Hold Election Saturday, May 3rd

The Board of Education of
School District No. 1872 is
holding an election on May 3,
1858 from IL noon to pm.
The purpose of this election
is to ask the voters to decide
if the Board should borrow ap-
proximately $1S0,00O from the
State of Illinois in order to build
10 classrooms. A levy not to
exceed $4,000 year must be
passed in order to repay the
State this amount in 16 2/3
Years. 1t is estimated that the
levy will be approximately $751;
900 year, therefore, the full
$4,000 will not be needed but
is only voted as a safeguard.
rhe amount needed to repay
the loan plus costs for mainten-
ance and insurance is included.
The school district will not
have to pay any interest on these
borrowed funds The cost to the
taxpayer on a home that has
tax value of $4,000 will be ap-
proximately $500 per year to
repay this loan.
The tentative plans are now
to build a 6 classroom building
in the Northwest portion of the
district. The northwest corner
of District 143h is Crawford
and 135th street between Ked-
zie and true Western.
School District 143h is now
short of a total of 90 classrooms.
It will be short 5 classroOms
after the s that are being built
at the Posen Elementary School
and the 10 to be voted on May 3.
Voters are urged to vote yes

Business Barometer

The Stars business barometer"
published yesterday as the first In a
series of monthly features, points to
one main conclusion: The business out
look for the Washington area is good.
The study was based on a COMPARE
son Of the first three months of 1858
with the corresponding period in 1857.
Some Of the findings, we think, were in
teresting and significant. For example,
there was relatively small drop in en-
ployment, mostly in Government. But
payrolls were up 3.8 per cent, invested
savings climbed lis per cent and bank
deposits rose 2 per cent. Clearly, this
area is not suffering from a lack Of
purchasing power.
Another encouraging trend was
found in the construction field, with
very substantial increases in all listed
categories in the first three months of
this year. Hardest hit were the auto
mobile dealers, whose decline in sales
seems to follow the national pattern.
Bad weather, of course, has played
part in this, as In the small drops In

No Time to Relax

washington stands out In bright re-
lief against the dark background of the
national crime picture-but analysis OF
the local statistics In the FBI's annual
crime report provides no basis for I'M
due optimism here or for the slightest
relaxation by law enforcement agencies.
While II is gratifying that last years
crime rate was on downward trend
locally In contrast TO the grave upward
surge elsewhere, a disturbing fact APP
pears In the report. This is that In the
second half OF 1857 major crimes, after
a brief period OF leveling of. began an
ominous rise paralleling the national
trend.
II was because OF this resurgence
OF lawlessness since last July that Police
Chief Murray has instituted a system
OF reinforced street patrols, using po-
licemen willing TO work an extra day
each week or during vacations. Exactly
how much crime was forestalled by this
increased police vigilance is impossible
OF calculation. But Chief Murray is
convinced that had 1t not been for
these extra patrols-especially at night
In trouble spots-the local crime story
would have been very much worse. AS
1t was, the los per cent rise in serious
crimes here during the last six months
OF the year was Offset, in the overall
tabulation, by l25 per cent decline
during the preceding six months. The
net result was a slight decrease for the
year as whole.
A particularly satisfying aspect Of
the annual FBI crime review was the
disclosure that Washington, once de-
Scrtbed as haven for criminals, is we'll
down the list Of large cities in so-called
Part ! offenseS, the worst group Of
crimes reported to the FBI by the Ma
tons police. Washington stood 10th in
number Of murders, l4th in robberies,
9Th In aggravated assaults and goth in
burglarieS. Such comparisons are not
conclusive, Of course, since some cities
may be more meticulous in reporting
crimes than others.
Certainly the recent increase in
more serious crimes in the District calls
for even greater efforts by the police,
including continuation and strengthen
ing Of the extra-duty patrol system.
Funds for the present additional patrols
will run out in about a month. Con-
gress therefore should see that adequate
funds are provided for extension of this
system as long as criminals OF every sort
continue to roam our streets.

Better Schooling

1t is conceivable that add
ing one week to the school
year will give improvement.
1t is also conceivable that 1t
will not.
One very important factor
will be the extent to which
the move meets with general
teacher approval. II this has
been requested and obtained.
1t has escaped my notice.
To me 1t seems that better
use Of time under the present
schedule could be assured in
at least two ways. First. II
school activity funds were
larger. most of the time and
energy now spent in raising
money could be used in class
room pursuits.
Secondly. the substitute
teacher fund runs low an
nually in midspring. Ii pro-
visions in this area were
wholly adequate. there would
be no danger that pupils
would suffer through the alb
sence Of substitutes or the
presence Of someone who
merely covered" the class.
In short. an improvement
should be not only quanti-
tative. but more so cualita-
tive. The former exposes it
self to much dispute.

For Peace and Quiet

Let's admit that the Rus
slams were right In stopping
nuclear weapons tests. but
let's go them one better. Our
deterrent power is already so
great that further military
developments are not really
necessary. Let's urge our
Government to take unilat-
eral action that goes beyond
that taken by the USSR. Let
the United States announce
that effective Immediately it
is ceasing the testing not
only Of nuclear weapons. but
also of long-range missiles,
and that 1t invites United
Nations inspectors into its
territory to verify that no
further tests are taking place.
1t is not unreasonable to
hope that by answering the
Soviet Unions challenge in
this way we might so i'm
prove the climate Of inter-
national feeling as to start a
competitive d isar m a m e n
race In which the Soviet
Union would take another
step-beyond the one we
took, and so on.

Federal PoternoIism'

The contest now raging In
Congress between New Deal
ers and New Republicans for
the honor Of sponsoring the
most generous handouts Of
our tax dollars TO prolong I'M
employment has reached the
nauseating stage. Their one
solution for all economic and
social ills is for the Federal
Government to write a big
ger check. On the desks Of
the President and each mem
Der Of Congress who has made
a political fetish Of Federal
paternalism there should
be conspicuously placed a
placard bearing these words

ness in time Of trial and

Federal Fovorites?

We now face the prospect
Of huge Federal deficits and
with them the danger OF con-
tinued imitation. To lessen the
latter threat we non-Federal
workers have been exhorted
by the Government and by
economists to forgo further
wage demands. In the light Of
this 1t is difficult to under
stand why Federal employees
are about TO be voted a 10
per cent wage increase. !
think the Federal Government
Is a most liberal employer
and wages paid the Federal
employees are, with the pos
sible exception Of a few top
grades. better than those
paid by private industries. In
addition the fringe benefits
enjoyed by Federal employees
are unheard of in private in
dustry.

Show of Temper

An edgy President leaves today for
a long week end in Georgia, and we
don't suppose Mr.. Eisenhower's harshest
critic will begrudge him this rest For
the Presidents temper is showing
sure sign that he needs to get away
from 1t all for few days.
Even so, this latest presidential pop
OF, at his Wednesday press conference,
should not be treated as though 1t we're
an atomic explosion. Mr.. Eisenhower
lowered the boom on woman reporter
who asked a question which annoyed
him and he snapped at three Of her
male colleagues whose questions got
under his skin. But temper is the
exception, not the rule, at Eisenhower
press conferences, and this is one rea-
son why the Presidents short answers
made news. When Harry Truman took
a reporters head of, or when the late
Franklin Roosevelt sliced up a needing
questioner, no one got very excited.
That sort of thing was taken more or
less for granted. But with Mr.. Eisen-
hover the case is different.
For one thing, his honeymoon with
the press must have set some kind Of
record. 1t is only in the past year,
really, that his political enemies have
taken direct aim on the President, and
this, Of course, has been reflected in
the questions asked at his news con-
ferences. For another, Mr.. Eisenhower
has tried hard, perhaps too hard, to give
some kind of answer to anv kind of
question. There are situations in which
there is much to be said for the mo
comment" response, but the President
doesn't seem to recognize all or very
many of them.
OF greater moment, however, is the
heavy pressure which domestic and in
ternational problems bring to bear upon
a President whose health Is none too
good. Mr.. Eisenhower needs to get
away as much as he can, and If he
blows his top occasionally that probably
helps, too.

mated day and night. As the
necessary light Is. on the
average. available for only
eight hours. however. the
oxygen produced would be
just sufiicient for one man.
The illuminated surface
would have 10 be at least 20
square feet. A well-run prof.
ect should give a doubling Of
the material In "a hours.
Thus we may say that an
acre or so covered with algae
will easily give oxygen and
food for 500 men at work.
The difficulties OF engineer
ing and cost do not concern
us here. Even on the moon
food and oxygen could be
produced. This would re-
quire installation OF a her.
metically sealed greenhouse
containing carbon dioxide.
The necessary air-condition-
ing could be provided by O

Algae Not Everything
Because there are plenty Of
algae In the ocean. DR.. CAT

has been suggested that peo-
pie might live on floating

II is claimed that the oceans
produce as much organic
matter per unit area as q
tract Of land, and thus. In
proportion to their larger
area. much more in total. But
this involves a misconception.
The expenditure Of energy to
live like the men Of the Kon
Tiki expedition and other
castaways on floats is not at
all In proportion to the result.
The standard Of living so
maintained must be low be-
cause the oceans are not as
green as a chlorella culture.
What we want Is at least q
gram Of nutritive matter per
