Senator Sant frvin Says By SENATOR SAW BRV!N j WASHINGTON'.—As this coiumn] is being written, the White House j Conference on Education is sitting j in Washington. This conference,) which is composed of educators and ! other pubiic-spirited citizens from j ail- sections of the country, was cailed to consider ways and means , to solve unmet educational needs j of the public school systems of t he i nation. There is no gainsaying the fact that the nation is suffering at this ] time from serious unmet education al needs which arise out of the cir cumstances that the public school systems of the several states need 10.000 more teachers and 250.000 more classrooms than are presently available. As a result of these t!a gic shortages in teachers and class rooms. millions of the youth of America are being deprived of their fundamental nght to an adequate education at the grade school level. The tranc state of the public school system in the majority of the } states cannot be alleviated by any ) temporary measures. Since the num ber of chiloren arriving at school age is constantly increasing, it is j apparent that some action of a ; drastic nature must be taken if we are to have sufficient teachers and j classrooms in our public school sys tems. Thee White House Conference on Education is likely to recommend that the Federal Government assist j the states in meeting these unmet , educational needs. It is altogether ) likely ihat tht views of the confer ;nce will coincide with those ex pressed by Sett. Lyndon B. John son, the majority leader, who pro phesied some time ago that Con gress will authorize "a school eon- ! struction program to meet the needs of their children " In m.v judgment. Senator Johnson acted wisely in suggesting that the Federal Government can best aid the states in this field by assisting them in the construction of class rooms As a matter of tact, the Federal Government has adopted fiscal pol icies which handicap the states in their eftorts to establish and main- i tain sufficient pubtic school sys tems. It does this by taking into the Federal treasury an undue amount of income and excise taxes, which are the most easily collected taxes. As the result of this fiscal policy the state and the local com munities are compelled to rely in j large part on property taxes for the support of the public school sys terns. If Congress is to pass a bill grant- ! ing Federal aid to the public school < systems of the several states, it must insert in the bill provisions depriving the Federal Government of ail control over public school ed ucation in the several states and restricting the Federal aid granted to public school system only. More over. Congress must refrain from any attempt to use the Federal aid granted as a vehicle for the en forcem^nt of the decisions of the United States Supreme Court in the racial segregation field.
