THE POLITICAL MILL
School Aid by Tax Deductions
By GOULD LINCOLN

eral-aid-to-ed education BILL
and a very considerable num-
ber Of members Of Congress
along with him.
Vast Expansion Possible
The education programs
under the Kennedy bill would
fall under the direction Of the
Department Of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare. where
the office Of Education is al
ready located. with its many
divisions. At present this
agency largely is committed
to research and advice which
goes to schools and colleges,
although 1t does direct assist
ance in Federally affected
areas and in some colleges.
If 1t were placed in the posi-
tion Of alloting Federal funds
for public schools in all so
States Of the Union, It's ex-
pansion would be tremendous.
The Kennedy education bill
contains many other pro-
grams which would be ham
died by the Public Health and
other Services. HEW. indeed.
has been enabled to parcel
out Federal funds for many
kinds Of research, some Of
which are valuable-and
some not so much 50. Take,
for example, a grant Of
$99,8ll to a psychiatrist at
the University of Maryland
to put some chimpanzees
through a five-year course
in binary arithmetic, q new
system Of reckoning. 1t is not
likely that such an expendi-
ture would be authorized by
a State when parceling out
its educational funds.
Returning TO Congress-
man Halls bill in aid Of ed
ucation, he argues that, as
of today. "it Is obvious that
compulsory Federal grants
to education financed by
higher Federal taxes (the
Kennedy bill has a $5.6-bil-
lion cost tag attached, COW
ering a period of four years.
are neither needed nor
wanted. as evidenced by the
recent push for lower Fed
eral taxes. II State and local
governments in some parts
Of the Nation are unable to
keep pace with their school
needs, it Is because the Fed
eral taxing power has pre-
empted State and local
sources Of revenue. Hence,
the proper solution to this
problem is for the Federal
government to restore to
local authorities q portion
Of the tax resources pre-
viously usurped."
Mr.. Halls bill would grant
a taxpayer additional deduc-
tons from his Federal in
come tax for the expenses
OF sending children to COL
lege, and would provide for
deductions from Federal in
come taxes, based on real
property taxes, paid by home
owners, to aid In elementary
and secondary education. He
has estimates that between
$3.4 and "a billion would
become available to local
governments as an increased
tax base. This. II used.
would. he said, take care Of
all financial problems Of
American elementary and
secondary schools.

Man vs.. Automotion

Ralph McGill, in his col
umn "A Protest Against
Attenuation" has once
again demonstrated his
unique capacity for reducing
sociological and economic
distractions to their funda-
mental human terms.
While Government admin
istrators and private plan
ners are quite rightly con-
cerned with such concepts as
"the growth rate Of our
Gross National Product"
and structural unemploy-
ment" VS.. "frictional unem-
ployment," we are prone to
forget that the ultimate
meaning of such terms is
given In the lives of indi-
vidual people. 1t matters lit
tie in the final analysis to
the writer Of the letter to
Mr.. McGill, and the millions
of other unemployed and
underemployed persons
whether they are the VIC
tins Of structural or fric-
tional unemployment. The
important facts to them are
loss of income, shrinking
economic opportunities and
the attendant erosion of dig
nifty and self-respect.
We may not, as Mr.. Nc
Gill. stated, being COM
mitted to morality re-
fuse to- hear" the voices of
these persons. As q member
of the Manpower and EN-
ployment Subcommittee Of
Labor and Public Welfare, /
have heard their voices. not
the Senate Committee on
only in our State Of West
Virginia, but throughout the
United States, wherever our
subcommittee has conducted
hearings.
The problems of reducing
unemployment and assuring
greater economic opportuni-
ties for all our working men
and women. have long been
matters of concern to me.
They constitute, in my opin-
ion, the major domestic chal-
lenge In America during
this decade and within the
foreseeable future. And their
solution will test to the ut
most our resources Of intel
ligence and ingenuity in
bringing about cooperative
efforts on the part Of gov
ernment, industry and labor.

would like to remind that
there is no ordinance which
prevents Mr.. Lindenfeld or
any other home owner from
selling his or her home to

get ready to sell our home, 1t
will Of necessity be to colored
people, because white people
win no longer buy a home

This was not always the
case. When we purchased

days Immediately following
World War II. we paid top

Federal aid to education in
the Kennedy omnibus bill is
running into snags. One Of
the latest is found in the
House Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor. where Chair
man Adam Clayton Powell
opened hearings on Monday
to continue for two weeks
and then went away-sup-
posedly to Puerto Rico. But
trouble over an education bill
In the House COMMITTEES. is
not exactly new. It is merely
symptomatic Of what may be
expected.
There Is strong feeling
among some m m b ers Of
Congress-and the committee
that the States and COM
munities should care for pub
lie education in this country
mot the Federal Govern
ment--especially for educa-
ton in the elementary and
secondary schools. Repre-
sentative Durward @. Hall,
Missouri Republican. has
come forward with an alter
native for the Kennedy bill.
In his program. contained In
a bill he has just introduced.
are two major provisions.
First, tax relief-Federal tax
relief-for families with chill
dren In college. Second. Fed
eral tax credit for hometown
ers for that portion Of their
real property taxes which is
used for the maintenance,
operation and construction
Of public and secondary
schools. In this way, Mr.. Hall
asserts, the tax base on
which States and local COM
munities draw for funds to
finance education would be
increased.
For Local Decision
Americans" the Congress-
man says. have proved they
know how to use their money
to support schools. It's high
time the Federal Government
gave their money back to
them" 1t Is his purpose to
place at the disposal Of the
people, the States. and the
local school districts greater
means to handle school needs
as those needs are determined
at the local level. 1t Is his
contention that such o
method is not only practical
but q far better way Of meet
ing the school needs than
having the Federal Govern
ment take the money from
the States and then hand it
back to them for school aid
as the Federal Government
sees fit. Such q plan. too.
would eliminate any posi-
bility Of placing the control
Of education in the hands Of
the Federal Government. The
Kennedy administration in
sists that Federal control Of
the schools would not happen
under direct Federal aid. But
