The calendar was right as far as astronomical calculations go, but far too often these take no consideration of the perversity, independence or whatever it may be called of southern Michigan. But now, after ten days, really definite signs of spring are appearing. The perature has moderated, the wind is softer. The snow piles are melting, in fact they have disappeared entirely in most places. The break-up is here at long last Take walk in the country or on the outskirts of town, and you will see.

The unpaved roads are dotted with puddles, soft and yielding under foot. Ditches are running full of water, and creek levels are topping the banks. Look at the trees and shrubs. Leaf buds are swelling, those on basswoods resemble bright red beads, those on maples are getting larger. Some of last year's leaves still cling to.

the oaks and beeches, but they won't be there long for new bud growth will force them off. The willows are getting more yellow and the red osiers redder. Spring is on the way. The birds know it. The so.ng sparrows are whistling their spring songs.

Adventurous -red-wing blackbirds are back in numbers, perched atop cat-tail stalks or on nearby shrubs, proclaiming they are staking out nesting territories. The migratory flights of other birds are under way. More are to follow. They know spring is here. In some city dooryards crocuses with their splashes of yellow, white and purple have pushed up where the frost has left the ground.

Crocuses are hardy.fl<jwe.rs,, not frightened the least bit' that late scason snowfalls may yet cover them. For while spring is definitely on the way, the chances are that Old Man Weather has not yet exhausted all his bag of tricks. Somehow in southern Michigan he usually finds plenty of chance to play them. -So don't be surprised if there is more ice and cold winds. But on the other hand be assured that the back of winter is broken.

Higher State Tuition Clarence Hilbeny, president of Wayne State University, has been supporting unintentionally the argument for higher tuition rates at the stale-supported colleges and universities. He has been appearing before the house ways and means committee in Lansing for a very different purpose. He wants the state appropriation for his institution increased. He declares that upon the basis of students enrolled, Wayne has been "short-changed" $236 per student as compared with funds alloted the University of Michigan and Michigan State University in the 1960-61 appropriation, just passed by the seriate. This comes about by differences in which the three schools' enrollments were 'figured in adding up their full-time students, summer school enrollments and specially enrolled students to come up with totals representing "full-time equivalent students." But the impressive point coming out of Dr.

Hilberry's appearance before the house committee is the actual tax cost of each student. By his figures, the University of Michigan and Michigan State University get from tax monies $1,349 for each student enrolled and Wayne State gets That $1,349 in the case of the East Lansing and Ann Arbor institutions and $1,113 for the Detroit university is the state cost for each -student enrolled. It represents the difference between tuition and actual costs. Each of these iastitutions wants Ipore money from the state, several million dollars more. The senate, conscious of the state's general fund deficit (about 75 millions at the moment) and the rising costs of all phases of state -government, pared the requests of the state colleges and universities.

The senate committee in effect told the institutions they were getting all the they could reasonably ex- pect. Obviously if they wanted they could charge their students more. Actually the students in Michigan's tax- supported colleges and universities enjoy remarkably low tuition charges, charges that have not advanced in recent years anywhere near as fast as the costs of educating them have advanced. They pay around S2SO a year. That is between a fifth and a sixth of the cost of educating them.

That $250 a year tuition is about one-third the average tuition at privately supported colleges in the state. The cheapness of the tuition in the state schools is one reason why their enrollments increase so fast. The students are going to college at really bargain rates. The taxpayers make the bargain rates possible. The state supported schools should charge their students more because of the state's precarious financial condition.

They should charge their students more because the schools' costs are more. Taxes Bound To Rise Under Health Plans By David Lawrence Inflation may be temporarily checked, but the bill for past inflation is now up for payment. The American people are about to be asked, for example, to pay in increased taxes the cost of higher medical expenses for the aged. Naturally, union-labor leaders, who have been in large part responsible for the inflationary wave of prices, are sponsors of the new program of medical care to be paid by the government out of new taxes. But the largest number of citizens who may have to foot the bill is to be found among the self-employed and the farm and city who are not members of labor unions.

The labor leaders want the Social Security tax base to be increased from $4,800 a year to $6,000. This means that employers would have to pay an additional $420 million, while workers and self-employed would have to pay $520 million. But there-are only 8,000,000 workers with incomes between $4,800 and 56,000 a year, and they would pay about $200 million a year, whereas the 8,000,000 workers with incomes above $6,000 a year would pay an increase of more than $320 million. This would mean a diminution in weekly "take-home" pay and, of course, it could result in new demands by the unions for increased wages to take care of this "cut" in wages brought on by the higher tax. Incidentally, under the labor-backed plan, about 57,000,000 persons with incomes of $4,800 a year or less including most trade-union Tiembers wouldn't pay any increase in Social Security taxes but would eventually receive the benefits, and so would their aged relatives now.

Under the bill proposed by Rep. Forand of Rhode Island, Democrat, the Social Security base would stay at $4,800, but the tax rate would be increased for everybody paying Social Security taxes. Workers would pay $570 million more, and employers $530 million more, or a total of $1.1 billion more per year.

Gay subject to Social Security taxes and employers of 66,000,000 hired workers would pay more in taxes than at present. All this is supposed to be for "medical care for the aged." Nobody knows just how much the program is really going to cost eventually. But, once the scheme for adding to Social Security taxes to absorb the medical costs gets going, the increases will come as the medical costs continue to rise. It is not surprising that President Eisenhower has come out against the plan to increase Social Security taxes and favors in stead a plan by which the expenses would be met out of general revenues. The outlays, moreover, would be confined to those who are in need.

The administration program is described as a "voluntary medical insurance plan for the needy aged." There is some talk about the whole problem becoming an issue in the presidential campaign. It should be. For the American people are going to have to decide sooner or later whether or not they want a "cradle- to-the-grave" welfare program, with certain taxpayers providing the money for everybody, including those who are well able to take care of the medical expenses of their parents and grandparents. The issue, of course, lends itself to political misrepre sentation. Already some of the Democratic presidential candidates are trying to make it appear that the administration is opposed to medical care aged, which just isn't true.

The administration, to be sure, doesn't want to see a medical program started by the government that would lead to "social ized medicine," with the deterioration in medical service that has characterized such programs in other countries. Actually, at the end of 1938, a total of 17,000,000 persons already had major medical insurance, as compared to 100,000 at the end of 1951. Also, the figures for the year 1959 are expected to show a further big increase in the amount of medical insurance among those who are 65 years or older. The problem can be handled for the most part by the citizens themselves, through insurance programs at small fees per month. As for the needy, the federal and state governments are necessarily obligated to bear that cost.

But it will be small compared to the welfare programs being proposed in Congress today to be paid for through various devices that call for in creases in Social Security tax rates. (Copyright 1960, New York Herald-Tribune, Inc.) Herter Gains Power In Policy Making By Joseph Alsop The President decided, on his own hook and before-Prime Minister Macmillan got here, to do just about what Macmillan wants him to do. As a result Macmillan's intervention will tend to make an independent decision look as though it has not been hide- pendent. The President is reported to be ready to accept, at least in principle, the latest Soviet proposal for a comprehensive ban on nuclear tests. Agreement must also be reached with the Soviets on several other hotly disputed points.

But the Eisenhower decision at least resolves the seemingly irreconcilable conflict over underground tests too weak to be detected by an inspection system. If all goes well, detectable tests will now be banned by a formal treaty, setting up a full inspection system. And undetectable tests will also be banned by a simple agreement to continue the existing test-moratorium for at least another year. The pros-and-cons of this intricate device of a treaty-plus-an-agreement were hotly debated before a decision was reached. Prime Minister Macmillan in fact invited himself to Washington, because, at one moment, it looked as though the victory would go to those who wished to reject the Soviet proposals out of hand.

The pattern of the debate is worth study because of the strong light it sheds on the recent evolution of the Eisenhower administration. Former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, Admiral Lewis Strauss, opposed any kind of ban on nuclear tests. The new chairman, the able John McCone, favors a ban that can be inspected and enforced. Actually, the President's decision was a major victory, in a very personal sense, for Secretary of State Herter. Herter led the fight for the affirmative, constructive approach.

He was the spearhead of his side in the argument. When the Coolidge Commission turned in its report, in effect recommending that the United States could not support any kind of disarmament except fake-disarmament, it was Herter who secured the report's rejection. He fought for an affirmative, constructive approach through week after week and in the end got his way. Herter's recurring advocacy of sensibility and affirmativeness in dealing with the Soviets by no means implies a lack of firmness. When the Soviets played their tricks with the passes of, the Western Military liaison group at Potsdam, he was the first to insist on a firm response.

Again, when the Pentagon said that high altitude flights to Berlin were "an operational necessity," the Secretary of State took the lead-in securing the allied agreement that high altitude flights would be ordered. Tie flights were not ordered, solely because the civilian leaders of the Pentagon took another look at the operational facts, arid saw that the alleged necessity did not exist. In short, what can only be called a Herter style of policy-making is beginning to be discernible. It is a pretty impressive style, (Copyrigh't I960, New York Herald-Tribune, Inc.)

Some excellent chance of being passed over by the convention, which may figure that if he couldn't make it in two tries, why risk another? Vice President Richard Nixon, of course, doesn't have announce his hopes for the Republican nomination since nobody else is in sight for it. Among the Democratic Sena 1 tors who are now openly seeking their party's bid, Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota made it official last Dec, 30, followed quickly by John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts on Jan. 2.

It wasn't until March 24 that Sen. Stuart Symington of Missouri finally got around to saying publicly he'd like the Democratic nomination. He said he won't go into state primaries. As of now Symington's best hope seems to be getting the nomination through a compromise if the convention deadlocks on other candidates. Johnson has a good excuse for not getting out and campaigning for the nomination.

As Senate leader, he has to slick to his job for more reasons than one. Any hope of his nomination depends to a large degree on the kind of legislative record the Senate turns in this year under his leadership.
