SCHOOL DROP OUTS AND THE LIFE OF

pacity to help out The volunteer is the
basis of democracy and we can break
through the barriers of the abstraction
surrounding our lives by helping others
usefully
In Washington, there are only 81 coun-
selors to serve $4,000 school children.
When the millennium comes, there will
be enough funds appropriated for school
needs. But in the meantime, we cannot sit
twiddling our thumbs and waiting.
Ayear and half ago, the Urban Serv-
ice Corps was created with a private en-.
dowment to recruit and train volunteers
to bring services to needy children under
the supervision of the District Board of
Education. More than 500 citizens have
volunteered so far.
Only the professionally trained can
actually counsel the young, but volun-
teerS can do a number of other valuable
jobs They take over lot of paper work
from the counselors, giving the counse-
lors more time to be with the children
who need their help. The volunteers as
sist remedial reading teachers in the ele-
mentary schools, supervise after-school
study programs and help in reading and
cultural enrichment programs.
Though some of the volunteers are
already trained teachers, either retired
or on leave, the volunteers generally
need have nothing more than an ability
to relate to children and a concern for
their problems.
The supervising director of the Ur-
ban Service Corps, Benjamin ]. Henley,
hopes some of his volunteers will be able
to raise funds with which principals
could hire students who might other
wise drop out of school because they
need money for carfare or clothing-to
do clerical work. Another hope is that
interested volunteers will use their in
fluence in business and industry to find
jobs for potential drop outs.
Understandably, mothers of young
children can give little time to such pro-
grams, but parents of older children or
grown children might give some thought
to their community responsibilities. Dur
ing the recent crisis over the missile
build-up in Cuba, had the need arisen to
mobilize for defense, every one of US
would have come forward. Can we really
afford to relax now?
Defeatism and apathy must be re-
placed by love and passionate effort to
protect what we love. All love is work. All

craft carrier.
Secretary Of Defense McNa-
mara made the decision, saying
that nuclear power would add
$l63 million to the $277 mil
lion cost of a conventional
powered vessel.
But the committee, which
took testimony of 10 witnesses
in an investigation of the de-
cision, insisted the Secretary
was greatly overestimating the
cost Of nuclear propulsion.
See 80 Increase
It said q correct calculation
would show the total lifetime
cost Of a nuclear carrier to be
only 3 per cent greater than q

authorized by Congress last
year to be built with conven-
tional power. But the Navy put

discount would involve no such
circumvention.
Secretary Dillon has been q
big ambiguous about his inten-
tons. In his most recent public
statement on the question, dur
ing congressional testimony
last February, he said:
we have said that we felt
we would respect completely
the spirit Of this ceiling, and
even though there Is q memo
randum from the Attorney
General which says we can dis
count, we would not make any
substantial use Of that and
would come to Congress II we
thought It (the law should be
changed"
High-ranking officials doubt
that the issue will come to a
head for some months. But
there may be O showdown
about mid-Is64.
When the time comes, the
Treasury intends to conduct q
sort Of test operation by selling
q bond with 9 ~ per cent cou-
pom at small discount to raise
the yield slightly above ~ per
cent.
After assessing reaction In
Congress and on the market,
the Treasury will decide wheth-
er to fight for legislation to
raise or repeal the ceiling.
If the outlook for legislation
appears to be din, or II the test
run Is accomplished without
too much fuss, the Treasury
may try to avoid the battle. In
stead, Secretary Dillon might
simply consult key members of
Congress in an effort to obtain
their blessing for the discount
ing technique.
In anycaSe. the Treasury will
not 60 ahead on its own after
the test run and make repeated
sales Of bonds yielding more
than ~ per cent. There will
be some sort Of check with
Congress.
On the other hand, the
Treasury will refuse to exclude
itself from selling long-term
bonds. The debt managers have
no intention Of falling back
without a fight to the gimmick
Of selling short-term notes
with coupons above the AZ per

Fight Over Tight Money
To ace johnson in "a

Reserve Board were retarding
the economy by discouraging
borrowing.
For a period Of months. the
Treasury could issue no bonds.
1t was forced to concentrate on
ishort-term borrowing, and
short-term interest rates rose.
The Treasury, at one point
In 1859, sold q note with a 5
per cent coupon. The note had
a maturity Of four years and 10
months. The AZ per cent cell
ing applies only to securities
with maturities Of five years or
longer.
Short-term rates normally
are lower than long term rates,
but the Trasury's exclusion
from bond sales turned normal
relationships upside down.
Mr.. Anderson said the ceiling
actually raised interest rates
instead Of holding them down
as Congress intended. Were 1t
not for the ceiling, he said, the
Treasury could have sold bonds
for slightly more than AZ per
cent and substantially less
than the 5 per cent paid on the
notes.
Soon after the Kennedy
administration took office,
Treasury Secretary Dillon
sought way to solve the prob
lem without legislation.
He asked Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy for an advi-
sorry opinion on whether the
Treasury could legally sell a
bond with a AZ per cent cou-
pom. or stated rate. but price it
at q discount to raise the effec-
tive interest rate, or yield,
above AZ per cent.
The owner Of q $1,000 face
value bond with q AZ per cent
coupon receives $42.50 interest
annually from the Treasury. If
he paid $1,000 for the bond,
Az per cent would be the yield
as well as the coupon rate.
But II he bought the bond at
q $40 discount below face val
ue. paying only $3.50, the $3.50
Of interest would amount to an
effective rate or yield Of 4.34
per cent on his investment. In
addition, he eventually would
make q further gain because
the Treasury would repay the
full $1,000 face or par value
upon the bonds maturity.
discount Approved
Mr.. Kennedy issued q formal
opinion that the Treasury
could legally sell bonds at dis
count-below par-to raise the
yield above the "a per cent
coupon rate.
If Congress intended to ap-
ply the ~ per cent ceiling to
yield rather than coupon rate,
he said. the law would have
said so expressly. instead Of re-
ferring only to interest rates.
Secretary Anderson had
drawn the same conclusion, but
said he would not use his au-
thority to "circumvent" what
