Federal Support for Education

bonded themselves so heavily to build nee
essary classrooms that there is little tax
room left for operation and teachers sala-
ries. Those districts need support for opera
tional costs.
Federal support for school construction on
a state matching basis would be of no value
to Montana since we do not have any state
funds available for school construction. The
freedom of choice" type of legislation is
necessary if our schools are to be adequately
financed and if teachers salaries are to reach
competitive level with those of the other
western states.
Under the Murray-M etcalf type of legisla-
ton, federal funds, would be distributed
through the State Department of Public In
struchon with the determination of specific
use of funds resting entirely with the State
Board of Education and the school districts
which would make it impossible for the fed
eral government to control local school board
policies
Unfortunately in the pickering over
philosophy of federal support for educa-
ton the needs of American boys and girls
get lost In the shuttle.
1t is ironic that in the most prosperous era
in the history of the United States we should
have the greatest shortage of classrooms and
qualified teachers. We constantly hear de-
mands for improvement in the quality of edu-
cation, in the quality of instruction /. and
at the same time consistently refuse to take
the one step that would make major improve
ment possible: to adequately finance our
schools.
Without adequate financing we cannot
have a full staff of qualified teachers, we
cannot recruit and retain the necessary re-
placements of able young people, we cannot
provide sufficient up-to-date textbooks, teach |
ing aids and supplies Without all these, how
can we meet the demand for improved quality
ia education?

BY D. D. COOPER, In Montana Education
In May of 1860 the federal government
came close to passing major federal-sup-
port-for-education bill The House of Repre-
sentatives passed bill much different than
that passed by the Senate; customarily the
two bodies appoint members to joint con-
ference committee to work out compromise
bill AS result of tactics used by the powerful
House Rules Committee, such joint confer
ence was INSTRUCTED.
Thus, the question of major federal sup
port bill for education continued to be prime
concern of the summer session of Congress.
The recently adopted platforms of both poll
tical parties contain some interesting planks
on education.
On the question of major support for edu-
cation the Democratic platform says I'VE
believe that America can meet it's education
obligations only with generous federal flnan-
cial support within the traditional framework
of local control. The assistance will take the
form of federal grants to states for educauon
purposes they deem most pressing, including
classroom construction and teachers salaries.
1t will include aid for the construction Of aca-
demic facilities as we'll as dormitories at col
leges and universities
The Republican platform states, Toward
the goal of fullest possible educational oppor-
tunity for every American, we pledge these
actions: Federal support to the primary and
secondary schools by program of federal
aid for school construction-pacing it TO the
real needs of individual school districts in
state and territories, and requiring state ap-
proval and participation . We believe more
over that any large plan of federal aid to
education, such as direct contributions to or
grants for teachers salaries can only lead
ultimately to federal domination and control
of our schools ~"

and the fear is that our pur-
chases Of essential materials
from other countries is having

moving SO rapidly that I'm con-
fident researchers and manu-

Today, nearly 10 per cent Of

chemically within our borders.
Synthetic rubber usage by the

O., PORTER: Will there ever
be a time when synthetic will
completely replace natural rub
ber in the United States?
A., KEENER: I have to an
swer that question with a "yes
and no."
I say Eyes" because science
has been able to duplicate the
exact molecule of natural rub
bef in the laboratory. Plans are
under way for several plants
that will give America a rea-
sonable supply Of this synthetic
natural rubber and viii ensure
that we have the manufactur-
ing experience needed to pro-
duce large quantities Of this
natural rubber synthetically,
should the need ever arise.
I say mo" because natural
tree rubber from efficient
estates can still be produced
more economically and we do
not expect the need for huge
production Of synthetic natural
to arise soon.
O.. PORTER: With all the
strides that have been made In
synthetic rubber technology

ural rubber needed at all?

For Wider Boulevard

Arlington has joined the

sion of the thoroughfare is es-
sential to commuter traffic.

widened to six lanes between

Rabbi Kaul again accused the
FeC3;al Government of a
hat italy "shortsighted atti-
tude TOWARD Northern Virginia

He likened Federal refusal to
continue widening of the boule-
ward to governmental delay in
producing a plan for solution OF
the Dulles Airport sewerage
problem.
Its obvious that we must
continue to point out to the
Government what is good plan
ming and keep harping at the
administration to get any rec
ognition of our problems" Mr.
Kaul declared.

The Bureau of Public Roads
and National Park Service have
contended that the boulevard
is designed for tourists visiting
Mount Vernon rather than for
commuters.
The park service also has
argued that it should not be
forced to provide funds for
commuter thoroughfares.
