WASHINGTON, March

WASHINGTON, March a
There are several reasons for
the marked lack of enthusiasm
in Congress for President Ken
nedy's multl-bllllon dollar school
aid plan.
Chief Of these is the startling
discovery by a House Education
Subcommittee that The federal
government already is spending
$1.8 billion yearly to support a
number of educational pro-
grams.
This little known but costly
hodge-podge system of dispens-
ing funds through at least seven
different government agencies
has reached the point where it
is causing increasing concern
among the educational meas
ure's chief congressional sup
pOrterS.
These and other details of the
size and scope Of federal educa-
tlonal aid will highlight a re-
port by a committee headed by
Representative Edith Gree, D.
Ore. top school-ald advocate
to be made public later this
month.
These surprise findings are
based on the lawmakers study
of the whole federal-aid-to-edu-
cation picture. The survey was
undertaken to determine what
changes, if any, should be made
in handling existing school aid
before launching a new program
as advocated by the Admins
tratlOn.
In its findings, the Green com
mlttee will reveal that 1000, OF
more than half the nations 40
600 graduate students, are be-
ing supported by one or more
federal fellowship grants.
BY 1870 an estimated 10000
full-time graduate students Will
be in American universities, and
If the present trend continues
10000 Of them Will be supported
by the government.
Lack of coordination among
the agencies granting felloWships
Tor graduate studies in physics
is cited BY the subcommittee as
a striking instance of the
educational spending. -Four sep
arate government agencies are
offering these felloWshlpS, al
with different requirements, pro
visions and payments.
I OUT OF HAND-One of the
: subcommittee most disturbing
findings is that the Office 0
Education. in the Department O.
Health. Education and Welfare
has virtually no control over the
granting OF this vast aid.

aid and the spurious doctrine of pater-
nalism has been embraced or accepted
as way of life
We hope we have painted an exag-
gerated picture, but we fear not.
There is no pat answer to the diem
ma. There are some things which can be
done.
A start can be made by strengthening
the economic position of these United
States. The federal government can per
form its functions and leave state func-
tons to the states. Federal aid to educa-
ton, urban renewal. highway construc-
ton, etc, are state and city functions.
Mediocre, public housing, hospitaliza-
ton, etc, are individual responsibilities,
not federal obligations
Foreign aid needs to be administered
realistically, possibly selfishly. At least,
aid should be traded in such way that
our dollars will not be used to under
mine our world position. If we think
we must pour financial and military
aid into a country, we should certainly
demand support in return. These Unit
ed States can no longer be altruistic.
when those who receive our aid and
help are selfish They look out for them
selves, we must do the same
Communism is an insiduous doe
trine or Theory The United States has
been on the defensive for thirty years.
The time has come to take the offensive,
or certainly not be indecisive. The
Cuban fiasco has proven how naive our
policy has been, how cunning the Com
munist regime is.
The United Nations, if there is still
hope of its success, should be support
ed by all of the members. not by the
United States alone, and if other men,
bers do not support the organization let
it disband
In other words, the United States
needs to grow up and play in the big
leagues. We gain more friends by be-
ing positive than by vacillation. Stand
for something and you will not live
alone.

teacher. he continued. is not compatible
with alliances involving groups having
policies on variety Of controversial
economic and social issues to be ad-

1t would be we'll indeed if Dr. Cars
words were in harmony with the real
views of NEA. Unfortunately, this is
not the circumstance. as those familiar
