Thursday* April 28,1966 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section Two -- Page On# Very few persons would care to have their laws acted upon by '* computers instead of by their Congressmen. The dicision- jnaking role of U.S. Senators- and Representatives must f'eftejpt the human experiences, e d u.c a t i o n , understanding, knowledge, yes, and the prayers of those who have been- elected to those offices. I Biff the computer, or Automatic Data Processing equipment, is recognized as an important aid in the making of human decisions. Even with a competent staff and the benefit of rapid reading courses, a member of Congress may be finable to uncover data or information which could be reported in minutes by a computer. • Recently, at the University 6f Pittsburgh, the entire United State Code (which contains all of the federal laws) was recorded for use on computers. Now, it is possible to search this vast body of law for almost any selected information that might be desired. Executive departments of the federal government have employed computers for many years. In addition to payroll and job assignment information for which almost all agencies use computers, the Decomputers in developing a pdrtment of Detense employs great deal of information about munitions and equipment -j--and even military requirements of both men and arms. The Congress has appropriated many millions of dollars for the rental and purchase of computers for the executive branch of the Government, but no funds have been provided for acquiring computers for the Congress itself. f* "Recently, a numDer of recommendations have been directed to the Joint Committee T on Congressional Reorganization urging th^t members, pf Congrps? should employ computers in' th-eir work. It fc> pointed out that such computers could produce almost immediate information from ail sources on (e) budget requests, (b) detailed or selected federal expenditures, (e) volume and categories of pending legislation, and (d) til story and experience of legislation identical or similar to a pending measure. A computer mi^ht be used simply to recall the actions taken by a Congressman;.£> n similar proposals during earlier sessions. According 1o the experts, the myriad - '"Take-Home" FftfGIDAIRE "8000" - Ntdll K-8HJ • 8000 BTU/hr (NEMA) ^ capacity for big coolinjf# • Installs easily in minutes! • Sliding panels adjust to fit windows up to AO".

The cost of a[ single piece of computer equipment is reported to be about $530,000. If each of the 535 members of the House and Senate and each of the thirty-six standing committees should receive an individual computer, the cost would exceed $300 million. Such an outlay is clearly not justified on the basis cf present needs and probable utilization of such computer equipment. For the present, it would seem much wiser to establish a single congressional computer center. This might well be located in the Library of Congress which already serves many other congressional needs. Any expanded or additional use of computers could com£ later. One recent advocate of the use of computers by members of Congress predicts that this innovation would move Congress "toward a more vital and independent role in our government system." DR.

June is not too far away, therefore, I would like to offer a few suggestions. We now have all of the candidates who 'want in* telling us how much they expect to do whejri and if they are elected. When on that day you are alone in the booth with the curtains drawn behind you and the pencil in your hand, try to remember not what is promised but what has been done in the past by the incumbents. "Did they ease the tax burden? Or did they look out for number one at the expense of this great crisis where we still the taxpayer? "In this great country, under have the power of the ballot, let us all do our part to keep it that way, and the result will surprise you. "Remember, Mr. and Mrs. Voter, and those old enough to vote, promises can be made and broken but deeds cannot be erased. A large majority in the senate and house in Washington or your state is equal to a dictatorship. Also, when a government tries to give you everything you need the day will come when it will tell you what you need. "Think it over: Inflation and high taxes are caused by either poor management or an attitude of careless planning with no regard for the majority of the taxpayers.

Mrs. Nettie Sarley "Lakemoor" Cost Of Education To Continue Steady Increase The expenditure for education in our public elementary and secondary schools will continue to rise in the United States, according to predictions. In a report, Projections of Educational Statistics to 1974-75, recently released by the United States Office of Education, it is estimated that the annual current expenditure for ublic elementary and secondary schools (in 1963-64 dollars) i the United States increased from $8.9 billion in 1954-55 to $18.9 billion in 1964-65, an increase of 112 per cent. Such expenditure is expected to increase 57 per cent, to $29.6 billion, by 1974-75. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 is one reason for^p^rt of the above increase in costs for elementary and secondary education. Increased enrollments, together with increased costs per pupil, account for the increase in current expenditures. Total average daily attendance in regular public elementary and secondary schools increased from 27.0 million in 1954-55 to 38.5 million in 1964-65 and is expected to rise to 43.8 million in 1974-75. Actual fall enrollments will reach 41.7 million by 1974. Expenditures have been increasing and are expected <jt6 continue to increase for practically all of the major items Included in current expenses, such as administration, instruction, operation and maintenance of plant, fixed charges, and Other school services and programs. Annual current expenditures per- pupil (in 1963-64 dollars) increased from $321 in 1954-55 to $478 in 1964-65, and are expected to increase to $660 by 1974-75.
