ITie House Education and Labor (.'ommit-
tee. which studied the bill ami reported on
at 52,700 for 1%0.64, and fewer thereafter.
If federal funds are needed to build these
classrooms, it would seem that local sources
are not able to construct them at the de
sired rate of 52,700 a year. Yet the fact is
that over the last 10 years — without any
federal aid—the construction rate has aver-
asred 59,400 classrooms a year. Since 1955,
the averajre has been 66.900.
Under the Congressional bill, 42 per cent
of the federal tax money would go to just
seven states. Far from being the seven
' neediest’' states, these are seven of' the
richest — New York. California. Pennsyl
vania. Texas, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan.
When you add it up. the argument for fed
eral school building funds isn’t very convinc
ing.
Who Is Responsible?
Spending for national security takes more
than half of each tax dollar the federal gov
ernment collect* from you. A man earning
96,000 a year, reports the Citizens Public
Expenditure Survey, pay* $240 a year for
defense.
Virtually no one would oppose any needed
amount of defense spending in today’s un
it. placed the yearly need for new classrooms predictable and dangerous world. But neces
sary' defense spending is one thing — and
waste in the defense system is a very differ
ent thing.
Senator Douglas of Illinois, who wants an
adequate defense as sincerely as anyone, re
cently presented a display to his colleagues.
One item was a lamp socket which, he said,
sells in retail stores for 25 cents but cost the
Navy $21.10. Another was a set of wrenches
w hich can be bought from a tool company for
$3.89 but cost the Army $29. Still another
Was a group of drill bushings worth 25 to 50
cents which cost the Air Force $9.65. So it
went. Auditors from the General Accounting
Office, the Senator added, had checked and
verified his statements.
According to Senator Douglas, the mili
tary wastes as much as $3,000,000,000 a year
through present procurement practices. This
huge sum of money, he pointed out. could be
saved and used for missiles and other real
defense purposes.

Keep An Eye On
This One, Too
W ith the Democratic Convention in Los
Angeles taking the stage this week, the Re-
publican silence deepens and the mystery of
what cooks becomes downright eerie.
Surface indications that the Republican
Convention will lie the dullest in the history
of American politic* — consisting of the
formalizing the uncontested nomination of
Richard Nixon and the dreary choice of an
inoffensive, if leftish, running mate — are
marred only by tiny ripple*.
Ripple one is the news that New York’s

uf the investment dub is
A number of people get to-
put up *4* much money each
iommon storks colldrtively
thing is that each member
<•{ the group make s full contribution — in
studying comtianies. in learning about fi-
'laming and in .estment, and in developing
tmancul judgment. And It must be retnem-
•■ered that a suund investment club is not a
get-rich scheme—the right objective is long-
run growth and sun ess.
W hat kind of people join these clubs? Ac-
<v>rding to Sample Case they run about as
wide a gaumut as anyone coukl imagine—
'.a*ei>ali players, housewives, lumber jacks,
-oldiers. the elderly, young executives, etc..
**te.
Th<- basic significance of this burgeoning
movement is aplty described by the maga
zine in these words: "Many people formerly
believed that the stock market operated onfy
;or the wealthy. Now the market is better
understood for what it really is—a channel
tor the people to jiarticipate in the growth of
America.” The clubs are an example of prac
tical capitalism in action—with every mem-
iier a capitalist.

NORTHWESTERN ROAD*
There is always talk of a consolidation of the
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, and the
Burlington At one time merger was almost cer
tain. but it was stopped by a court fight that trig
gered the panic of 1907 There also is constant
talk of merging the Boston A Maine, the Maine
Central, and the New Haven; but no one now seems
to want the New Haven. All of these New England
railroads are ‘‘short line’’ roads which are being
avoided by careful investors.
Railroad officials blame the I.C.C. for holding up
these mergers. But the truth is that every consoli
dation means that certain officials, employees, and
directors will be thrown out of jobs* The labor
unions therefore insist on being beard, as well as
certain of the small-town shippers. Such opposition,
however, is largely motivated by personal selfishness
rather than by consideration for the good of the
nation as a whole.
