DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT iX? al Bto D*»*U. lad. P-» om« M gwremdClaa. Mat toe DM* D Hal Jar. Jr. *«■** J<riM Q Heitor Vl<» l r**ktont CBaa Kuithauee ftorratarr Traaeuraf A Special Problem Thera ia no quealion but that Prtbla, Union, and Blue ('reek township have a special school problem. It ia especially severe in Preble and Union townahi pa. beta take Preble township first. There are approx Imataly 114 transferring to the public schools, moat of them to Monmouth, and a few to Decatur, Ossian, Hoagland and Adams Central. For each of these children, tuition is figured, and all the taxpayers pay to send these children to school. The same thing is true in Union township, where 118 are transferred to Decatur, Monmouth, Pleasant Mills and Monroeville. Not only do these townships pay for the transferring of the student, between >2OO and >3OO, for each pupil, but the schools to which the children transfer receive state aid for each child, amounting to about 30% of the cost. This state aid is the same which the school would receive from a local pupil. The resident of these townships feel that in paying for these students they pay their proportional share. They are not interested in being included in a school unit. They prefer the transfer system. They feel it would rais the cost of schools to them, without receiving any great benefit back, by including them in a school unit system. j In this sense the residents of Preble, Union, and Blue Creek are paying their share of the costs for the pupils which they transfer. If they send one pupil, they pay for one pupil. If they send ten, they pay for ten. But the problem arises because all the people who send children to parochial schools do not live in those three townships. Many of them live in Decatur, Adams Central, or Monmouth territory. Those people pay a school tax based on the costs of supporting a school system in their area. It is a higher tax rate, on a- - assessment, than the people in Preble, Union or Blue Creek would pay. This means that the people who live in a school district and send their children to a parochial school pay more proportionately than those who live in a non-school district. Actually, while taxes are important, the most important thing is a better school system. If all of us would have to pay more, but by so doing would provide a vastly better school system, with an improved curricula, it would be worthwhile. And if the costs are cut, but the education which the children get is decreased, *. then we would all be very, very sorry. So let’s wait and see what the various committees will report. It may well be that those worrying about taxes already will cheerfully support the decisions of the local school study commission. They may do a fine job that nearly everyone will support them. And that’s what we are all hoping for.

Debate Raging On Missiles Program

By CM AR I JOB COBDORY I nitod Pre** laterwattonal WASHINGTON <UPI» — The great drton*® debate raging tn Congre. * renter* an the US In ter continental balluuc m Ia * I I • <I(*HM> program. Tb® l*»ue la not over the quality of the American ICBM or the with which it was dcvelInpad. The big argument concern* the adequacy of administration plana tor producing th« iICBM in greater quantity in view of Ruaala * evident all-out effort What la an ICBM? It it majestic. »tainle*« steel vehicle, fabuloualy axpen.lve, i heavy aa 100 automobile.. tall aa la acven-atory building, ao agile it can leap 6.325 miles in a half ihour and ao accurate it can deliver a hydrogen bomb within about two mile. of its aiming point It la taken for granted today But as recently as IBM when the US ICBM program was in its early stages, the then Air Force Secretary Donald A. Quarles, himself a acicnti’d. was saying if the missile could be perfected j it would be an achievement of the agl Biggest Research Effort From 1951 through 1955. the US. investment in ballistic missile development amounted only to about 440 milion dollars The B-36 super-bomber continued to be the chief long-range retaliation I weapon. The B-36 took 40 minutes 'to go as far as the ICBM goes in one minute and more than 15 hours to do what an ICBM does in 30 minutes. To develop the ICBM along with its sea-going and land-based brothers, the intermediate range ballistic missiles, and get them ready for combat units, the United States now has invested 10 billion dollars. Under President Eisenhower s new budget, the investment in six ballistic missile programs will rise to $13,500,000,000 by June, 1961- , . rNo single research and development effort in U.S. history exceeds the ballistic missile program of the Air Force alone in scope, says the Air Force. And as a scientific achievement, it probably is outpaced only by the taming of nuclear energy. Yet it has been made clear in the controversy now raging in Congress that in these most complex weapons in the history of warfare Russia is outproducing the United States. Conflicting Views Democrats and Republicans agree on that. Democrats say the United States could be in mortal peril over the next few years as a result. Republicans say that other weapons will offset the Russian missile superiority, and that there will be no gap in American power to deter war.
