Mike Mansfield (D-Ment.) a The paramount aim of the 1962 Congress will be to act quiekly to enact legislation designed to strengthen our domestic and. foreign programs. Domestic progress is mast assential for the inner strength of ow nation. The result of progress mad* al home helps us to-overcome the problems wo noast fare in the prolonged contest with the forces of Communism. ~ I- ■ ' ■ L Among the important domestic issuedvwill be to provide medical aid for our aged citizens through social ■ security, aid to education, the creation of a new cabinet level post, the Department of Urban Affairs, and create job opportunities for workers. JOBLESS WORKERS: People are the real Capital df the United States. Although the number of Americana having jobs increased by a full fear mißtoo batweea January and July, unemployment is still » serious situation because of the growth in our labor market. Also, the impact of automation and technological change — plus an additional 26 million* new workers anticipated to enter the labor market during this decade — poses major challenges we will have to fttce and for which we must devise realistic and meaningful solutions. AID TO EDUCATION: The cost of education will at least double in the decade, rising to about S3O billion by 1970. This tremendous load of S3O billion cannot be met by American states and localities as they have strained their tax resources and borrowing capacities to the limit *- President Kennedy’s proposed Federal aid to schools was responding to the clear and present needs of our nation’s vital education system. It will provide on a nationwide basis whatever education needs exist that cannot be met from local resources. Out of the 37 million children who returned to public schools this fall, eight million had to go to overcrowdeck unsafe, or otherwise inadequate classrooms. More than 700,000 were compelled to go on split shifts. More than 2 million will be taught by teachers lacking adequate professional training. Every American parent whose children are in an over-crowded and unsafe school should understand that this situation will not be corrected until a long-range substantial Federal Aid to Education Bill is favorably acted upon by the Congress. Every American taxpayer who finds real estate taxes on his home going through the ceiling of tolerability, or state taxes increasing again and again, as local and state governments try to cope with the problem of education, should realize that the only solution to attain full educational opportunities for the youth of America is through Federal Aid. to Education.
