Education Costs Mounting Sharply

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Governor Welsh's- proposal to Indiana’s 1963 legislators this week that $472 million be distributed in aid to local schools means that he favors the state paying about 40 per cent of the total cost of education. Welsh got his estimates of expected school costs for the 1963-65 biennium from research by the Indiana State Teachers Association. The ISTA research director, Burley V. Bechdolt, estimated the total cost of public schools in the 1961-62 school year at $468.1 million, and in the 1962 63 school year at $519.3 million, a total of $987.4 million for the present biennium. Up 11 Per Cent A Year Bachdolt used an 11 per cent annual increase average in the total cost over the past 10 years to arrive at an estimate of $576 million for the 1963-64 school year cost and $639 million for the 1964-65 school year. This would be a total of $1,216 billion for the next fiscal year—the one the 1963 Legislature must appropriate funds for. It would reflect an increased enrollment of more than 60,000 pupils. Thus, the total cost of the 1963-65 fiscal year would be $228.6 million greater than the cost of the 1961-63 fiscal year—s9B7 million subtracted from $1,216 billion. Under the present school distribution law, the state pays about one-fourth of the total cost of local education. In the present biennium, this will be about $244.4 million, or roughly 25 per cent of the $987.4 million total cost for the present biennium. $1,216 Billion Cost Applying the same percentage to the estimated $1,216 billion cost for the next biennium, the state would pay only about $304 million, or an increase of about S6O million above the present biennium distribution of $244.4 million. However. Welsh contends local property taxes are already almost

Student Editor At Ole Miss Under Fire OXFORD, Miss. (UPD — Petitions were circulated on the University of Misslssiopi campusl Thursdav night calling for the impreachment of the editor of the student newspaper for her editorial stand during the school’s racial crisis. ' Shortly - before the .petitions were brought into dormitories and fraternity houses the student activities committee of the campus senate, a student government group, reprimanded the, editor, Sidna Brower. Miss Browdr, a pretty, darkhaired journalism student from Memphis, said she -was not disturbed by the actions. “I feel like I have stood up for what is right,” Miss Brower, 21, said. The committee’s resolution said Miss Brower, who edits the Daily Mississippian, had failed “to counter the distortion by the national press of the image” of the university’s student body. Offered As Substitute The measure was adopted as a substitute for a censure resolution proposed by senior George Monroe, of Newton, Miss. ; The resolution adopted was considered to be milder than the one offered by Monroe. The resolution said Miss Brower failed to protest “the unnecessary firing of tear gas” by federal marshals and Army troops during rioting the night of Sept. 30 and morning of Oct. 1 when Negro James Meredith was brought onto the campus to be registered as a student. The resolution will be recommended to the campus senate for final approval when it meets Tuesday night. Approve Opposition To Violence The committee said the resolution “should not be construed as

I confiscatory and the state should : not permit them to rise any more. If the state pays only S6O million of the $228.6 million increased cost, additional local taxes totaling about $244 million above present levels for school purposes will have to be raised. He contends this is a burden too great for local property owner to endure, and the state must pay all the $304 million increase just to weep the property tax rates at their present levels for school purposes—neither increased nor decreased. Actually, Bechdolt arrived at the estimated cost for the next biennium by using a “unit price” of $13,300, which takes into consideration increased costs of teacher salaries—which, for instance, went up from $l7B million in the 1957-58 school year to $240 million in the 1960-61 school year —and higher costs of such other items as plant operation, transportation and maintenance with more children to take care of than ever bed’ore. , Unit Is Explained - A “unit” in school distribution parlance is 32 grade school pupils. It also is 28 high school pupils. In the Welsh administration’s “balanced” budget, $215.5 million was listed 5 for state aid to local schools, even less than the distribution of the current biennium. Welsh said that with present state tax rates the anticipated revenues would not permit the state to offer more. This would make the state’s contribution only 18 per cent and leave 82 per cent, or just over $1 billion for local property taxes to finance, compared with $743 million this biennium.

Assuming that $257 million increase in local property taxes for school purposes was distributed evenly throughout the state, it would mean a present $3 school tax rate in a given community would go up to about $4 provided the property valuation base remained the same. being opposed to editorial freefrom” and commended Miss Brower “for deploring the violence which hast taken place on this campus.” Monroe told the committee that Miss Brower’s editorials have not reflected the thin'king of the “Ole Miss” student body. Miss Brower repeatedly has urged against violence and demonstrations protesting Meredith's enrollment. She said she was not disturbed by the impeachment petitions and ' indicated many students would support her. Miss Brower was elected editor in balloting by the student body and receives a salary of SIOO per month.

Franz Strauss Resigns From Adenauer Post MUNICH, Germany (UPD — Controversial Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss announced today he is resigning his post in Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s cabinet. The Strauss announcement came in a communique from his Christian Social Union (CSU), the Bavarian branch of Adenauer’s Christian Democratic party (CDU). According to the announcement, Strauss told his backers his decision is based on “the position of the Free Democratic Party (FDP).” The FDP, junior partners in Adenauer’s ruptured government coalition, had demanded Strauss’s ouster as the price of continuing to support the 86-year-old chancellor. Strauss and the other remaining members of the cabinet had offered their resignations to Adenauer a week ago to give him a free hand in dealing with the revolt of the FDP. Five FDP cabinet members quit over the government crackdown on the news magazine Der Spiegel, whose publisher and four of whose staff members were arrested and charged with treason and bribery for publishing a critical attack on the West German armed forces. Strauss’ decision seemed to clear the way for the end of the month-old crisis, possibly the worst Adenauer has faced since he assumed office in 1949. Without FDP votes, Adenauer cannot command a majority in the federal parliament.

Bays Appointed To State Commission INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Marion County Prosecutor Phillip Bayt will become a member of the Indiana Public Service Commission Jan. 1, succeeding Ira L. Haymaker of Franklin. Governor Welsh announced Thursday that Haymaker had resigned to return to private law practice and that he had appointed Bayt, whose term as prosecutor expires Jan. 1, to succeed him. Haymaker, who will become a partner in a local firm, indicated that money was the major reason for his resignation. “I talked to Governor Welsh about six weeks ago and told him that I would have to make more money than I am making up here,” he said Thursday. “The only way I know to do that is to go back to what I know bestypractice law. I hate to leave but I would have to leave the PSC sometime. I’d rather leave while standing up.” Haymaker referred to the fact that Welsh’s term as governor has only two years remaining and that a new governor might replace him on the commission. Haymaker, married and the father of four children, received $10,700 a year in the PSC post. He said he felt his “six years experience with the PSC should be valuable training for any lawyer, particularly one in the utilities field.” Miss Judith Martin Is On Dean's List KANKAKEE, 111. — Miss Judith Martin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ervin O.

the Communist party in Algeria as possibly tuned to coincide with the negotiations. Western observers said the move was no great surprise, however. It appeared to conform with Ben Bellas’ insistence on a oneparty regime under his own National Liberation Front. France, the chief source of financial help for the new nation, has already allocated S2O million in immediate aid. President Charles de Gaulle has agreed to continue such “cooperation” if Ben Bella lives up to the agreements which made Algerian independence possible. The French have been disturbed by recent reports from Algeria of kidnaping of Europeans and Al-

gerians formerly favorable to France, persecution of Algerians who served in the French army and apparent plans to expropriate property of Europeans who fled Algeria when independence was granted.

Reason For Victory Outlined By Bayh WASHINGTON (UPD—Anyone willing to work hard and blessed with many friends can be elected to the U.S. Senate, according to Sen.-elect Birch E. Bayh Jr., DInd. Hiat was the explanation of his victory that Bayh offered the Effective Citizens Organization at closing session Thursday of the group's two-day roundtable for public af’airs officers. The organization, dedicated toward encouraging businessmen to take part in politics, is composed of representatives of some of the nation’s biggest blue-chip firms. Bayh, invited to discuss “A Newcomer Looks At Congress,” noted that his defeat of veteran Republican Sen. Homer E. Capehart had been compared to a Horatio Alger rags-to-riches tale. He did not quarrel with the comparison. “Service in the Senate is available to anyone willing to woiu hard and with many friends,” he said, paying tribute to his own supporters who “went that last mile” for him. Bayh said he relied on contributions, “since I have no rich uncle.” , His campaign, he told the business representatives, was run on a business-like basis. "We had a comprehensive plan —we knew what was to be done, when, where, and by whom,” he said. “We were absolutely determined to spend each dollar of campaign funds for maximum gain.” A Midwestern businessman, noting that Bayh was a member of both the Farmers Union and the American Farm Bureau Federation, commented that in his area this would be like belonging to both the Republican and Democratic Parties. “If farmers would spend more time cooperating toward a solution, we’d come closer to solving the farm surplus problem,” Bayh responded, but added the predic-
