S. Treasury Aid COLUMBUS, Ohio 14 per cent of Ohio'a school districts are getting money from the U.S. government because of federal activities in their localities.

There may be a military base nearby. Or an atomic plant. Or a defense industry operating on a federal reservation. Whatever the facility is, it has brought more families to the area consequently more youngsters who must go to school. To help the school districts adjust to the increased enrollment and financial burdne, Congress enacted two laws in 1950.

One is Public Law 874, which provides money to help the districts cope with increased enrollment. The other is Public Law 815, which helps provide building and equipment. By June 30, says A. D. St.

Clair, the State Education Department official who supervises federal assistance, 157 of Ohio's 1,092 school districts will have received more than 20 million dollars under Public Law 874. this represent the total amount received by the dis trict in all St. Clair points out, some get money in lieu of taxes lost when the federal government acquired the About 38 million dollars in pro Jects have been undertaken with the help of Public Law 815, St. Clair adds. From 1950 to this coming June 30, he figures the federal government will have provided $23,447,586 for buildings and equipment.

The districts themselves nave or will have another $13,995,754, and the state has chip ped in $372,000 between 1950 and 1956, primarily to help districts which didn have the money to hold up their end of the deal. Another two million for equipment and land inprovements brings the total to slightly over 38 million. The government bases its payments on the number of chidren from families connected with the federal project. The government pays the whole average cost per pupil for every youngster who has a parent living and working on the federal facility. It pays half the cost tor those who have a parent living on, but working off the facility, or living off, but working on, the facility.

However, the district must have an increase in enrollment of 3 per cent or more, and this must amount to IO or more To get money under Public Law 815, the district must absorb a per cent enrollment increase, which the government figures can be expected annually. Then it will get $1,360 for every youngster who has a parent living and working on the federal facility: half of that for those who live off but work on. If it a wealthy district (unlike the provisions of public law 874), and can afford it, it must shoulder the whole cost of new buildings and equipment. But if it can show it needs money, it will receive government aid. If more and more pour in as a 11 of federal activities, the district can apply again, using the increases in en rollment since the last aid received.

New Tax Bills Due For Untangling in Ohio Legislature COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) A of administration bills to boost taxes Ohio starting their 19th week of work today. Leaders of the Democratic Majority were busy over the week end seeking a solution to the tangle building up in the Senate for several weeks. The House has passed measures to Increase taxes on cigarettes, 3.2 beer, gasoline, diesel fuel, horse race betting and corporations. Representatives also expect to pass within two weeks Gov. Michael V.

$1,808,496,000 budget bill to run the state for the next two years. The Senate has yet to bring any of the House-passed measures to a vote on the floor. And, in addition, the Senate Taxation Commit tee continues to sit on a key measure in the program to raise an extra 365 million dollars for his outlined state needs. That measure is the own bill to increase sales taxes about 120 million dollars in the next two years. Opposition of Democratic committee members has left the bill one vote short of the six needed to recommend it for passage.

Objections center on sections to lift tax exemptions on farm and factory machinery and to do away with the tax stamps Severe Storms Are Predicted COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Weather Bureau here issued this special forecast today: weather storms with a few tornadoes, damaging windstorms and large hail expected from noon until 6 p. rn.

Ohio (AP) The state will dip into liquor rotary funds to make the quarterly pay ment in school subsidies, Gov. Michael V. DiSalle said today. A of million dollars for schools during March and April caused a general fund deficit of more than three million dollars at the end of last month, he told a news conference.

The quarterly school payment of 43 to 44 million dollars could not be made without the transfer of liquor funds, the governor explain ed. But he said a transfer of five to six million dollars in liquor funds should not be made again to help the next quarterly school payment, due in August. The state usually receives less than two mil lion dollars a month from liquor profits for its general fund Salle said that the three million dollar deficiency in the general fund at the end of April pointed up the need for enactment of new taxes by the legislature. He warned that unless some new money is available the state will have to cut back services. are hoping to make ends meet in DiSalle reported.

know we can't do it in August we will have taken some action on the appropriation bill. The level of revenues will deter mine the level of appropriations. If we have to cut two million dol lars from services we will cut The governor said a cut in services would mean a reduction in the number of state employes but not in salaries of those remaining. DiSalle said he will meet later in the day with Democratic leaders of the Legislature, where his new tax bills are stalled. The governor said he has not determined to his satisfaction the reasons for the log jam of tax measures in the Senate.

"If it is politics, it is poor he asserted. is not good when you neglect DiSalle indicated that he would not veto a bill to increase sales taxes if a provision to do away with the stamps were eliminated. But the governor insisted use of the stamps should not be retained, even though charitable jrganba- tions redeem them. can't justify taking 4 a million dollars in state money and turning it over for chanty while the state lacks money for its own DiSalle observed. redeemed by church, charitable and other organizations.

DiSalle remains adamant against cuts in his program and warns that he will not consider appropriations until he knows the fate of his revenue-raising meas urea. leaders of the Democrat Ma jority in the Legislature express concern over the situation but in sist it has not yet become serious. They agree that a prolonged dead lock might expose tax increase proposals to defeat or major re vision. They cautiously predict a turning point within a week or two. For the first order of business, the House scheduled a vote on a bill by Rep Michael A.

Sweeney (D-Cuyahoga) carrying stiff penalties for aggravated assault. The former assistant Cuyahoga County prosecutor said present law per mits only a workhouse sentence and fine for assault and battery in such cases. His bill would provide a penitentiary sentence. Prison terms now are provided for assault to kill. Sweeney explained that a gap in the law fails to provide an adequate penalty for cases in which a victim is severely beaten and sometimes mained if evidence shows there was no intent to kill.

A handful of other bills are up for action in the House and Sen ate Both Houses face heavy ached ules for hearings on pending measures. Besides hearings on a number of administration tax measures, Sen ate committees will consider proposal to: Ban discrimination in employ ment because of age, Increase benefits for disabled workers, a1 low the State Supreme Court in stead of voters to pick the chief justice, ban drag racing on highways, boost the pay of county officials on the basis of population and make the killing of game protectors a first degree murder offense. House approved measures up for Senate hearings would: Authorize public housing offl cials to set aside units for ihe aged, ban motor scooter licenses for 16 and 17-year-olds and allow sheriffs to call on deputies of other counties for help.
