U.S. in Serious Financial Trouble, Says Lipscomb Halting Waste Up to People, Says Solon It's the voice at home which will stop indiscriminate spending in government, Rep. Glen Lipscomb, of Los Angeles, and now the Pomona area's congressman, told 300 persons last night at a Republican Associates dinner. The speech was Lipscomb's first appearance before local constituents since the 1961 reapportionment placed eastern Los Angeles County in his district. The event, in his honor, was held at the Covina Dinnerhorn.

Lipscomb said the national debt now stands at 293 billions of dollars. "We're in serious trouble and we're not doing anything about it," he lamented. Lipscomb said the U.S. must cut luxuries in government or "we're on the road to socialism." Speaking of the "free-spending" 1961 Congress, Lipscomb said the body spent 95.8 billions, the largest of any Congress. He said the interest on the national debt is now nine billion a year and could grow to 10 billion.

"It is the voice at home which will stop this indiscriminate spending of the federal government," he said. Lipscomb charged that the Kennedy administration has not shown complete strength and firmness against international communism. Lipscomb will return Oct. 23 to Washington to serve on a congressional committee investigating exports to Red bloc nations. "It is a real complicated problem," he said of the committee's work.

"Cuba and other parts of Latin America are included in the investigation," he said. Lipscomb began his talk by praising Rep. John Rousselot, formerly the Pomona area congressman. Rousselot's is the 25th district. Lipscomb said "Rousselot is doing a fine job in Conwork he is doing.

He's gress. We're proud a of the heard in the halls of Congress and we know he's there." Of Houston Flournoy of Claremont, 49th District assemblyman, Lipscomb said: "Flournoy has an excellent reputation in Assembly. The State Assembly has your very lives in its hands." Flournoy introduced Lipscomb. He said he was born in Michigan, came to California in the '20s and attended the University of Southern California and Woodbury College. He is a public accountant, a Kiwanian, an Elk, a Mason and a Baptist.

Lipscomb was elected to the State Legislature in 1947 and to Congress from the 24th District, in 1953. He resides in Los Angeles. Johnny Catron's trio furnished dinner music. The Rev. Gordon A.

McGrane, pastor of Pomona First Presbyterian Church, gave the invocation. Russell A. of Glendora and Bergemanny, of Pomona, from the East San Gabriel Valley and the Pomona Valley advisory boards of Republican Associates, were cochairmen. Among special guests introduced were Mr. and Mrs.

24.) The tremendous growth of the Pomona Valley has challenged the ingenuity of school administrators to keep pace with the rising tide of enrollments. Elementary and secondary enrollments in Pomona city schools already are up 600 students from last year. Seven elementary schools have a total of more than 500 students on double session. Kindergarten enrollment this fall is 1,551 more than double the total number of stu- dents in the 12th grade. Will these kindergarteners now getting their first taste of education find a classroom on full-day session as they march through the grades in our elementary and secondary Majors Boost Gasoline Prices LOS ANGELES (P) Ma- jor oil companies are moving to end the gasoline price war -but it's uncertain whether independents will 1 follow suit.

The majors Thursday raised the basic price of gasoline to 28.9 cents a gallon. Some independents still are selling gasoline for 23.9 cents. schools or will they be short -changed by lack of sufficient classrooms? Whatever the answer, here they come, "ready or not!" Ten years ago 6,507 students were enrolled in the Pomona school system. This number has more than doubled and now stands at 15,900, almost 10,000 additional students. A major problem, of course, is the accurate prediction of school enrollments years in advance to have buildings ready to house pupils when they need them.

Statistical calculations are based upon growth studies of the City of Pomona, the water department, the Chamber of Commerce, state and county agencies, as well as school district surveys and records. For several years this growth has been at the rate of approximately 5 per cent a year and there seems every reason to believe it will continue. Adjustments need to be made, of course, for sudden spurts of growth such as those resulting from new subdivisions or such other unusual circumstances. Projections of school enrollment for the next five years: 1960-61, 1961-62, 16,000 (estimated); 1962-63, 17,023 (estimated); 1963-64, 17,821 (estimated); 1964-65, 18,535 (estimated); and 1965-66, 19,285 (estimated).
