AUSTIN.—Local school
should be required to pay
share of the state’s public education
bill, the Texas Research League said
Tuesday.
That recommendation was among
several made to the State Board of
Education in the fourth report on
public schools issued by the league, a
nonprofit organization.
Local districts now are supposed to
pay 20 percent of the cost of the
minimum foundation program, which
is designed to guarantee every school
age child in Texas nine months of
education each year.
Actually, said the league, local dis-
tricts are paying only 15 percent.
“Local tax contributions toward
the cost of the foundation program
have remained virtually unchanged
since the inception of the program ip
1949-50,” the report said.
“Yet during the same period, the
cost of the program has increased by
$95,600,000, and property valuations
for school tax purposes have in-
creased by $7,600,000,000. Virtually
the entire increased cost of the min-
imum foundation program has been
borne by the state.
“The fact that the local tax share
has not kept pace with the increased
cost of the foundation program or
with property valuations is rather
clear evidence that the required local
tax share is now relatively too low,”
added Claude S. Holloway, director
of the research league study.
Local districts’ 20 percent share of
the foundation program cost for
1955-56 was set at $52,450,000, the re-
port said, but they actually paid only
$41,800,00 of that amount.
It said the $100-per-teacher credit
voted by the Legislature in 1954 ac-
counted for $6,650,000 of the $10,-
818,095 “erosion.” The league urged
repeal of that measure, which was
one of the main compromise factors
in the controversial teacher pay raise
fight finally settled by the 1954 spe-
cial session.
“In some districts, this credit wipes
out the entire required local tax share
with the result that the state pays the
full cost of the foundation program in
that district,” the report noted.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Sen-
ate Wednesday night passed its first
civil rights bill—essentially a right-
to-vote measure—since the stormy
Reconstruction days following the
Civil War.
The watered-down version of Pres-
ident Eisenhower’s original proposal
now goes to the House where another
skirmish looms over its hotly-dis-
puted jury trial amendment.
The roll call was 72 to 18 for the
bill.
But there were impressive indica-
tions that the 7-month-old struggle
might end with a compromise limit-
ing the jury trial amendment to
right-to-vote cases.
Although Eisenhower levelled an-
other critical blast at the Senate
measure Wednesday, it was believed
he would sign such a compromise.
That would mean enactment of the
first federal civil rights law since
March 1, 1875.
The bill came under a 2-pronged
attack in an eleventh-hour flurry of
Senate debate. Southern foes argued
that no legislation was needed and
said the bill was designed to punish
Dixie. All-out civil rights backers
said it did not go far enough.
The House passed a bill substan-
tially in line with Eisenhower’s pro-
posals after beating down a jury trial
amendment. It must now decide
whether to accept the watered-down
Senate version or insist on a confer-
ence committee to hammer out
compromise.

WASHINGTON.—The Agriculture
Department has announced a $500,-
000,000 soil bank program for 1958
carrying a new regulation designed
to tighten curbs on surplus crop pro-
duction.
Under the major acreage reserve
phase of the program, which has been
in effect for the 1956 and 1957 crops,
the department makes payments to
farmers for planting less than their
allotted acres of such surplus crops as
cotton, wheat, corn, rice and tobacco.
Financial provisions for the pro-
gram were contained in an Agricul-
ture Department 'appropriation bill
belatedly passed by Congress.
Farmers who agree to retire land
from these crops will be required to
limit their total harvested acreage of
all crops. Those who fail to abide by
such agreements would lose payments
and be subject to “civil penalties”
equal to half of the payment they
otherwise would have earned.
This requirement, set up for the
first time, is designed to prevent
shifting of land from the major sur-
plus crops to other crops—a practice
which, if continued, would create
other surpluses and add to the total
oversupply of farm products, the De-
partment said.
Undersecretary of Agriculture True
D. Morse, in announcing the program,
said the new regulation should in-
crease the effectiveness of the soil
bank plan.
The Department announced that of
the $500,000,000 provided for the
acreage reserve, $178,000,000 will be
allotted for payments for retiring
wheat land. Under this year’s pro-
gram commitments were made for
wheat payments totaling $231,000,-
000.
The amounts to be allotted for oth-
er crops will be announced later.
To limit shifting of land from one
set of crops to another, the Depart-
ment will set up what it calls a “soil
bank base” for participating farms.
Generally speaking, the base will be
the total of the average of all crops,
except hay, harvested on the farm in
1956 and 1957.
To be eligible for a payment, a
farmer would have to limit his total
harvested acres to the amount of his
base minus the number of acres he
agreed to retire from production.
For example, a farm which had an
average of 200 acres harvested in all
crops except hay in 1956 and 1957
would have a soil bank base of 200
acres. If the farmer agreed to take
20 acres of land out of wheat, he
would have to limit his total har-
vested acreage to 180 acres.
County Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation committees will
establish bases for individual farms.
The payment for retiring wheat
land will average $20.88 an acre,
compared with $20.04 this year.
Farms with high past average acre
yields will tend to get payments
above this average, while those with
smaller yields will get lower pay-
ments.
Rates for other crops will be an-
nounced later. Wheat rates are be-
ing set at this time because the win-
ter wheat portion of the crop will be
seeded in the fall, while the other
crops will not be planted until next
spring.
The department pointed out that
under new congressional action $3,000
will be the maximum amount any
one producer will be allowed to earn
under the program next year. There
was no limit this year. This pay-
ment ceiling will be the only limit on
the number of acres a farmer may
agree to retire next year.
