The Future (Continued) '■ft ” .. . . (This is the final part of an article from the Russian Communist publication USSR, which circulates in this country on a reciprocal agreement with Russia—they circulate an American magizine of comparable size in the Soviet union. It is the story of the average Russian worker’s family — and it should be an eyeopener to those who think Russia is a worker’s paradaise. The remarks in parentheses are those of the editor of the Decatur Daily Democrat, those within the quotation marks are taken verbatim from USSR,) “The Gerasimovs assume, as a matter of course, that their standing of living will keep rising. The plant’s payroll figures prove the point. In 1959 the average annual earnings of a worker were 1,488 rubles ($372), an average monthly wage of 124 rubles ($31); in 1961 they were 1,560 rubles ($390) a average of 130 rubles ($32.50) a month. “The new Communist Party Program, adopted in October 1961, calls for a tenfold increase in public consumption funds in the current 20-year period. At the close of 20 years, they will comprise about half of the total income of the population. » “Just what are public consumption funds? They consist of the material and cultural benefits that the members of society receive from the state either free of charge or on favorable terms in addition to their wages, what we call invisable income. “Thanks to these public consumption funds, during the current 20-year period it will gradually become unnecessary to pay rent, to pay public utilities, transportation, a vacation at boarding hotels and tourist centers, for certain forms of everyday services, and for meals in dining rooms at places of work (But what about your choice of use, — whether you want to pay more out, proportionately, for rent, vacations, etc., to do something different?) “The Gerasimov children- who will be growing up, will receive, free of charge, hot lunches in school, their school clothing, textbooks, and notebooks (all uniforms, no doubt!) They will spend their summer vacations free of charge at Young Pioneer camps. And if the parents are too busy to look after the children, the children will be able to go to a boarding school or attend day boarding school. This, too, will be free of charge.” * — •— r — -—•’■'w (In other words, everything will be standardized, everyone will get what everyone else gets—-no individuality at all.

Educational Opportunities Grossly Unequal In U.S. By Sen. Stephen M. Young (D. Ohio)
For more than a century the pride of America has been its fine system of public school education. It was founded on the premise that education is the heart of a democratic society and is the birthright of every American. Through the years, wc have willingly supported our pub- Mg lie schools in the belief that it is in them that we develop our most precious natural resource, our children. Although our system of public >, education has worked well, I maintain we could ’ . do better—much better. Indeed, it must be the very best if our society is to meet the grim challenges of the years ahead. I The sheer pressure of population growth has brought about a critical need for rapid expan- \ sion of educational facilities and rapid increase *• You, ’ B
in educational personnel. Today I there are 70 million young i Americans under the age of twenty—seven years from now there will be 86 million. This year, alone, there are 1 million more sixtcen-year-olds than last year. I Because of this population -pressure, our educational needs, now and in the years to come, are staggering. Since 1950 enrollment in our schools and colleges has increased by over 50%, and it it expected that by 1970 college enrollment will double and secondary school enrollment increase by 50%. I One and a half million new classrooms will be needed for elementary and secondary schools in this decade. Yet, last fall we had a shortage of 121 thousand classrooms, and if current construction rates continue we will j make up only half of what we . will need. Moreover, last year, one and a half million of our children were studying in ovcrcrowdAl classrooms, and two million others were studying in substandard conditions of health and safety. These figures represent but a small illustration of our very immediate educational needs. | Recognizing the enormity of the problem; we must also recognize that this is not. only a local problem, but a national one as well. If education is inadequate in one area, ability is undermined in all areas. Today, we are allowing a situation to exist in which educational opportunity is grossly uneven and unequal throughout the land. 1 And where educational oppor[junity is unequal, all opportu-
nity is unequal. ' During the current school year) New York State spent $645 per pupil in public elementary and secondary schools. My own State of Ohio spent $422 per pupil*. At the same time, the expenditure per ■ pupil in Arkansas was only $279 and in Mississippi, $230. That means that fine young scholars in states such as Arkansas and Mississippi—to mention only two — are discriminated against, through no fault of . their own. A student who possibly could become a great nuclear physicist who would serve our Nation magnificently may ■ thereby be deprived of that opi portunity, due to inadequate . training. I Thus, those who cry of a "federal take-over” arc wasting I their tears and our time. Our : total national expenditure for , education is about S3O billion. ■ The federal government contributes only 4% of this. The > Administration has proposed that i we increase the federal contrijaui tion towards education to only 6 or 8%. f While some of us are splitting 1 straws over whether an educational crisis exists and whether f a suitable solution can be found, - the problem grows. We must i begin now to correct the sorry e deficiencies in our public school - system. They will not disap- - pear if we ignore them. They , will only grow more acute. The a time has come when the only - interest which must be satisfied 1 is the interest of our children—- . the interest of those whose fu- - ture is dependent upon educa- ■ tion. .....
Dodgers Rally In Ninth, Add To loop Lead By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Ron Perranoski, who once dabbled in dramtic arts at Michigan State University, is playing a role worth about $250,00 to his Los Angeles Dodger teammates: Horatio at the bridge. A 27-year-old left-hander from Petterson, N. J., Perranoski is just about all that remains of that once elite pitching staff which was supposed to carry the Dodgers to the National League pennant. You know, that super staff led by starters Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale and Johnny Podres. Well, the Dodgers’ big three have fallen on evil days and the Los Angeles lead would be down to nothing if it weren’t for Perranoski. Since Aug. 6, neither Koufax nor Podres has won a game and Drysdale has won one of two starts, during that period, the Dodgers have won four games — and Perranoski has been the winning pitcher in three of them, including a 9-7 victory over the New York Mets Friday night that enabled the Dodgers to go four games ahead of the San Francisco Giants. Chance for Record The victory raised Perranoski’s record to 13-2 and means he has a reasonable shot at equalling Elroy Face’s major league record of 18 wins in a season by a relief pitcher. Perranoski picked up his second win in two days when the Dodgers rallied for three runs in the ninth inning with the aid of key hits by Willie Davis, Maury Wills and Jim Gilliam and a sacrifice fly by Ron Fairly. The St. Louis Cardinals routed the Giants, 13-0, to move within five games of the Dodgers, the Philadelphia Phillies downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-0, the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs, 8-2, after a 10-1 loss and the Milwaukee Braves edged out the Houston Colts, 3-2, in other NL games. In the American League, New York defeated Chicago, 4-2, Baltimore shaded’ Kansas City, 4-3, Minnesota topped Washington, 7 r 5, Boston tripped Cleveland, 7-4, and Los Angeles beat Detroit, 9-6. Curt Simmons threw an eighthit horsecollar around the Giants behind an 18-hit attack that included four hits by Ken Boyer, three by Bill White and two each by George Altman, Julian Javier, Tim McCarver and Simmons. The Cardinals’ vict or y raised Simmons’ record to 11-6 and dealt Jim Duffalo his second loss against four wins. Tie For Fourth Chris Short pitched an eight-hit-ter and struck out seven to win his fifth game for the Phillies, who went into a fourth-place tie with the Reds. Tony Taylor had a single and a triple and Johnny Callison and Roy Sievers had key doubles in the Phillies’ 11-hit attack. The Phillies have won five in a row and 34 of their last 52 games. Dick Ellsworth pitched .a fivehitter for his 17th victory as Billy Williams and Ellis Burton had three hits each to lead the Cubs’ 12-hit opening-game attack. The Reds gained a split, however, when Frank Robinson drove in four runs with a homer and a double to help Joey Jay win his fifth game against 16 defeats. Gene Oliver’s ninth-inning single scored Lee Maye with the winning run for the Braves, who had tiedt he score at 2-2 in the eighth inning on run-pro<jucing hits by Frank Bolling and Eddie Mathhews. Bob Shaw, who shut out the Colts for two innings, won his fifth game while Houston relief star Hal Woodeshick suffered his seventh setback against 10 wins.
U. S. And Mexico Split First Matches LOS ANGELES (UPI) r- Mexico counted on its championship doubles team of Rafael Osuna and Antonio Palafox to put it ahead of the United States in today’s third match of the North American Zone Davis Cup playoffs. Doubles play followed the opening singles matches Friday in which Mexico scored first on Osuna’s victory over Chuck McKinley, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3, only to have Dennis Ralston defeat galafox, 6-1, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, and leave the teams with a victory each. The opposing ' captains had until an hour before* the start of doubles competition at 2 p.m. PDT (5 pin.. EDT> to name their teams, but Francisco Contreras of Mexico said his regular tandem of Osuna and Palafox would be the players. “I think we" will, field, a team that could win,” said U.S. captain Robert J. Kelleher, but he refused to name his players in advance.

A S C S Farm Notes
1963 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM: Field work in connection with the 1963 feed grain program has been completed with the exception of measuring adjusted acreage. This should be completed within the next week. Again, we urge participants to check their acreage notices — we do not want any person to lose his payment. If you do not understand the contents of the notice—- — sure to contact the county office before the final date listed on the form. Payments will be rtiade soon — it will be necessary for participants to sign the final application for payment — notices Wfll be mailed as soon as the applications are ready for signature. 1963 WHEAT STABILIZATION PROGRAM: Payments for the 1963 wheat stabilization program .will be made at the same time the feed grain payments are made. DIVERTED ACEAGE MUST BE PROTECTED: Diverted acreage for the feed grain and wheat stabilization programs, must be protected by a cover crop throughout the 1963 calendar year. No crop shall be harvested from the diverted acreage. Fall plowing shall not be started before October 15, 1963. The land must not be pastured before November 1, 1963. Spot checks of farms selected at random will be made continuously during the remainder of the calender year. Violations of any of the requirements of the feed grain program may result in a partial or total loss of payment. 1964 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM IGNORES WHEAT-ALLOTMENT PROVISION: Eligibility for the 1964 feed grain program benefits will not be conMajor Leagues National League W.

tingent on a producer’s staying exactly within the wheat allotment for the signed farms the state chairman, Lenard C. Pound, said recently. It is believed that requiring the normal acreage to be maintained in conserving use for 1964 will insure that any planting of wheat in excess of the allotment on a complying feed grain farm would be at the expense of some other soil-depleting crop. Another provision which was considered earlier but not adopted was one outhorizing feed grain participants who also complied with a 1964 wheat allotment to substitute wheat on feed grain acres or feed grain on wheat acres. These program decisions were reached after extensive consideration. The effects of the substitution provision on producers’ income were reviewed carefully and discussed with agricultural leaders, including members of the national agricultural advisory commission. The conclusion was that in 1961 the complexities of this provision outweighed any possible advantages that might result in limited areas. The feed grain pprogram for 1964, announced recently, will support farm income and reduce goverment grain stocks and costs more effectively than would alternative measures, the department of agriculture has announced. At the same time, it will keep the program as nearly like the 1963 program as possible. CENSUS PUTS BULK OF FAMILY FARMS IN 82,500810,000 SALES BRACKET: Acording to the latest agricultural census, most of the 1.8 million farms that went out of business during 1949-59 were marginal operations with less than $2,500 in marketings annually. Farms selling between $2,500 and SIO,OOO worth of products also declined in number but they increased as a proportion of the total of all farms. These farms enlarged their businesses during the decade. Most of them are family farmers. And more farmers moved into the SIO,OOO or more anhaul sales group, making it the most rapidly expanding sector in American agriculture. RETURNS FOR PART-TIME FARMERS ARE FOOD AND SHELTER INSTEAD OF CASH: A part-time farmer in a low-farm-income area often receives little or no cash return for his investmen Commonly he settles for the rental value of his dwelling, the value of home-produced food, and increase in land value as returns for his considerable investment in land, labor, and capital. Often such a farmer can add several hundred dollars to his income simply by a better choice of farm enterprise. By choosing enterprises that make better use of available land, labor and capital, farmers could increase farm income, even on small farms. INCREASE NET DEBT OF AGRICULTURE ATTRIBUTED TO THREE MAIN CAUSES: Since the end of World War II freedom from net debt has become a state less and less likely to be achieved by the framer. The reasons are mainly three:— 1. Capital investment needed per farm has increased steadily. 2. Prospects for farm income have been less favorable than during war years, and 3. The cost of rural

living has been rising. Since the war, loan terms have generally become more liberal and many improvements have been made in loan machinery. For example, Federal Land Banks can now lend to a single borrower up to 10 per cent of his net worth. Tending on livestock, machinery, and equipment has become more important. Merchant lending has increased; probably the most significant development along this line has been the lending by feed dealer and feed manufacturers to specialized livestock enterprises. A key improvement in loan machinery has been the hiring of more agriculturally trained men to evaluate the business potential of farmer borrowers. APPROVED ACP PRACTICES: Farmers who have received approval for an agricultural conservation practice to fye Completed this fall are urged tri as soon as possible in order to complete the practice before the fall rains start. . . And — if any farmer anticipates utilizing a conservation practice this fall, he is urged to contact the county office and ffle a request for cost-share assistance very soon. The request must be filed before the practice is started.. Or if there is a group conservation problem, which can be solved by pooling resources, we suggest that the farmers contact the local SCS office to determine whether the practice would solve the program. WHEAT LOANS AVAILABLE FOR SOME 1963 WHEAT: Wheat growers who harvested within their allotments on a farm and did not exceed the allotment of 15 acres on another farm, are modity loans or purchases agreeeligible, for price support by comments, at the rate of $1.84 per bushel. The interest rate is 3% per cent. Loans are completed at the county office. January 31, 1964 is the deadline for filing an application for a loan. FARM SAFETY: Farm safety week is long past — but should last, and last. During the summer season, there are many tractors and other farm machinery on the highways — so the drivers should be especially careful. Do not permit children to stand and ride — remember — an unhappy child is much better than a child who become disabled for life through carelessness of adults. Keep alert — jvaich for traffic — you wqn’t be hurt. i
