Schools (Continued from Page One) supported financially, At the same time the report ignores the fact that the current operating operating expenditure per pupil in New Jersey schools (estimated at $312 per pupil in A.D. A. in 1951) is second highest among the 48 states, and is far above the national average (estimated at $216 per pupil in A. D.

A. in 1951). The following table indicates New- Jersey's position among the 10 higest ranking states during the current school; year. (Second Column shows the estimated current operating penditures per pupil in the 1951- 52 school year): New York $325.00 New Jersey 312.00 Oregon 294.00 Delaware 280.00 Montana Wyoming 275.00 Minnesota 265.00 Illinois 260.00 California 257.00 Colorado 2.55.00 (U.S. Average) (216.03) (These figures were issued 1 by the National Education Assiciation.) "The report fails to note that the state's high ranking position continues a record of comparatively high school expenditures reaching back many years through depression, war, and post- war periods.

"Although the report states time and time again that many districts are experiencing financial difficulty, by no stretch of the imagination does the material presented in the report constitute justification for New Jersey's comparatively high school operat-1951 ing expenditures. Until such justification is forthcoming, however, A request for $60 million of additional state aid can hardly be considered well founded. "The report reiterates the wellknown fact that, among the 48 states, New Jersey ranks low in percentage of school costs provided through state aid. (In the current school year, New Jersey is seventh lowest.) This, however, is wholly irrelevant to the contention in the report that school expenditures are therefore inadequate. It merely raises the tion of whether or not the State should contribute a higher proportion of the funds that are being spent locally.

This, it will be recalled, is one of the choices set forth by the Tax Policy Commission in its Fifth Report (1951). It is a question that can be treated on its own merits, without confusing it with expenditure programs. HIGH PRESENT TAX LOAD "A $60 million tax proposal demand cannot be considered without relationship to the total tax load now being carried by the taxpayer. In fact, the taxpayer could well wish that this new spending program were the only demand for greater support that government is making on him today, when a third of all income is already going to government expenditure. "During the ten year period from 1940 to 1950, school operating expenditures in New Jersey increased 78 percent, from $92 to $164 million, despite a decline in enrollment.

"In the same period, municipal expenditures increased from $104 to $181 million, or 74 percent, and county expenditures increased from $47 to $81 million, or 72 percent. Meanwhile, the same population development that is necessitating additional classrooms in some communities is also bringing the need for more streets, police and fire protection, water lines, sewage, and the other services of local government. "Since World War II, annual appropriations for New Jersey state government have risen from $104 million in 1946 to nearly $211 million in 1953- an increase of 103 percent. "Above all this towers the Federal Government, whose taxes next year will take $485 N. Thursday, May 29, 1952 every man, woman and child in New Jersey.

This total Federal tax take of $2.3 times all the local property tax billion on in New Jersey is six levies in the State in 1951. Even the burden will prevent another Federal Deficit, and consequently, the New share of national Jerseys $8.6 million--will go still higher, despite the fact that it already exceeds by 40 percent the assessed value of all the taxable property in the State. "Clearly, the taxpayer must view Commission's proposal to raise, taxes, by $60 million in the the whole cost of government. Only emergencies, the most substanti- compelling of ated by unassailable proof of absolute necessity, will convince him that his already confiscatory present tax burden should be further increased. "NO STUDY OF ECONOMY "The report summarily, dismis.

ses, without evidence of study, the possibility that effective economies can be made in school adminstration, and makes the following statement: "The following table shows that total real school costs- that is, costs measured in terms of dollars of constant purchasing power -lagged well behind 1939 until 1949-50. This lag indicates the success of local Boards of Education in economizing. Unfortunately the quality of education in many districts undoubtedly suffered. The evidence lies in teacher shortage, high teacher turnover, difficulties in recruitment for teacher education institutions, and overloading of classes which has characterized the past decade. It is only recently that the real cost of the level which prevailed in 1939.

public education a has risen above 40. "The report then contains Table I. which cites the public day school operating cost for the years 1939-40 to 1949-50 and sets up the real cost of public day school education in 1939 dollars as adjusted to the New Jersey Department of Labor cost of liv. ing index. "During the period in question, school enrollment dropped 732,949 in 1939-40 to 631,662 in 1945-46, and there rose to 672.408 1949-50.

Commission's report gives no heed to this variation in pupil load, despite the profound effect it should have had upon total costs. As a result the Commission's tabulation has a base and, therefore, the conclusion that this lag indicates the success of local Boards of Education economizing is fallacious. It should be further noted that the Commission's statement quoted above regarding the decreased quality of education is wholly gratuitous, for it is undocumented throughout the report. "A true basis measuring relative operating cost would be to convert the total current operating expenditures each year into expenditures per pupil expressed in 1951 dollars, so as to compensate for changes in enrollment as well as in the purchasing power of the dollar. When this is done, the estimated current expenditure per pupil in the 1951- 52 school year is found to be 23.57 percent higher than in 1940.

The following table, constructed in this manner, shows the extent to which the cost per pupil in New Jersey has increased, entirely aside from the effects of inflation and enrollment increases. "Current operating expenditures per pupil in New Jersey (Adjusted to 1951 dollars, for selected years, 1930 to 1952, are shown in this table. Second column actual third umn shows cost adjusted to 1951 dollars.) 1930 $124.90 $194.47 1940 136.42 252.65 1945 198.33 286.19 1946 211.82 381.83 1947 231.74 269.51 1948 250.59 270.56 1949 273.65 298.55 1950 280.00 302.32 296.00 296.00 1952 312.00 312.00 "Current expenditures per pupil in a average daily attendance include salaries, pension pay. ments and other operating items. Data for the years up to 1951 were taken from Statistics of State School Systems compiled by the U.S.

Office of Education. Estimated expenditures for 1951 and 1952 were taken from Estimates of Public Elementary and Secondary Schools for the School Year 1951-52," issued by the National Education Association. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumers' price index were used for column two.) "Thus, after adjustment for the purchasing power of the dollar, New Jersey's estimated 1952 expenditure of $312 per pupil is up 5.4 percent from 1951, up 15.3 percent from 1948, up 9.0 percent from 1945, up 23.5 percent from 1940 and up 60.4 percent from 1930. "Economy is of such importance in the field of education that the Governor's School Survey Commission in 1933 devoted to it a seperate 68-page report, containing many rigorous recommendations for economy.

"Economy is no less desirable today than it was in 1933. Also, it is no less feasible, for school expenditure requirements are closely geared to pupil-teacher and class sizes, to utilizaratios, school facilities, to construction standards for new buildings, to extent of school consolidation, and to efficiency in building operation and maintenance. It is without even the slightest attention to these important elements of school administration that the State School Aid Commission report indicates that a new $60 million state tax program is necessary."

May 29 (UP) -The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. A. issued a stinging denunciation of loyalty oaths today and urged its 2.500,000 members to resist a nationwide trend toward "authoritarianism and thought control." The assembly ended its annual meeting here by adopting a strongly-worded declaration against what it described as threats against "the whole strucfreedom and equality in Chief targets of the declaration were racial discrimination and unfair loyalty tests based on "a blinding fears of subversive forces." The declaration was passed by a large majority of the assembly. Hit Segregation The official church statement deplored "discrepancies" in our national life which "embarrass our efforts on behalf of a free world." Racial segregation Washington. D.

was specifically. The assembly called for "a non-segregated church and a nonsegregated society," and noted "with gratitude" the formation interracial Presbyterian churches. It cited the merger three weeks ago of a white and a Negro church in San Francisco. warned freedom The Presbyterian, leaders of conscience, inquiry and expression were, being undermined by loyalty examinations and investigations. Charge Thought Control Individuals, the declaration stated, "are declared unfit for positions of public trust on the basis of unsubstantiated charges that they are 'bad risks' or because they have become many cases, it continued, "loyalty oaths become forms thought -control and have failed to recognize the full implications of false witnesses in dealing vital national issues and with the loyalties of men and women in public life." A move to delete the portion the declaration dealing, with loyalty oaths was Charles H.

Brown, of Chicago, a lay delegate to the assembly. He said the section might be taken as a reflection on the sincere efforts of individuals who are combatting communism." His motion was defeated. Other sections of the statement urged continued support of the United Nations, opposed sending a U. S. ambassador to the Vatican, attacked waste in military spending, and condemned forms of gambling "even charitable purposes." 9 at Trenton On Sit-Down Over Parole Trenton, May 29.

Probably they figure they are not going anywhere, anyway, butThe sit-down strike of convict members of the prisoners' grievance committee at the penitentiary here continued today in the prison conference room after a temporary breakdown in parole negotiation procedure. The strike started Wednesday after a routine meeting with the State Parole Board, headed by Homer C. Zink, of Belleville, which failed to reach an agreement. The prisoners' committee is demanding the board clarify the law concerning indefinite sentences so inmates may know approximately when they are subject to parole.

Walcott, training for the past month at Bader Field, Atlantic City, meets challenger Ezzard Charles in a 15- round title match at Sesqui-Centennial Stadium, Philadelphia, on June 5.

Dolgin said the crippled young. sters will be taken by bus to Walcott's camp. There they will meet the champ and personally wish him luck.
