Malone Explains Governmental Change Needs
Louisville, Ky—Recasting federal state relationships will not solve the fiscal problems of government unless accompanied by changes in the "structure and organization of local governmental units, state and local fiscal arrangements, and the functional responsibilities of the several local levels of government," Prof. Paul E. Malone said here today.
Prof. Malone, director of the University of Kansas Bureau of Business Research, addressed the National Tax Association meeting
In any re-allocation of taxing powers, Prof. Malone warned, it must be remembered that "government is not established and maintained for the sake of government as such, but is a means to an end, a facilitating device to the economic system whereby we gain our livelihood."
"Local financial practices are becoming more a process of scrounging than revenue administration."
Results are a pushing aside of badly needed reform in property taxes, a shift of the costs of local government to persons in lower income brackets, and increased costs of tax administration, he said.
The need for additional revenue at the local government level. Prof. Malone said, has led to a philosophy of "getting the most feathers out of the taxpayers with the least squawk.

Women Teachers Needed in Schools
The greatest teaching shortages are in fields usually taught by women, according to Prof. H. E. Chandler, of the Teachers Appointment bureau.
Demands for teachers the past year were for teachers of elementary grades, music teachers, English, and home economics. Other major fields
calling for teachers were science, mathematics, commerce, education, and social studies.
Prof. Chandler predicted that the great demand for elementary teachers will continue for many years, and, as the present pupils grow older, calls for secondary teachers should increase considerably.
Although the demand for elementary teachers is greater, a majority of positions filled by the KU bureau were in secondary schools.

Faris Cites Similarity Of Christianity, Islam
From St. John's mention in the Bible of the "coming of a comforter" after the death of Christ comes part of the foundation of Islam, the religion of the Arab world, Dr. Nabih Amin Faris said last night in the lecture, "Mohammed, the Prophet of Allah," the second in the series of lectures "The Arab World Today."
Dr. Faris stressed that Moslems have fundamentally the same concept of God as do Christians. To Moslems, Mohammed served only as a conveyor of the voice of God. Unfortunately, misunderstandings between Arabs, Christians and Jews led to wider and wider breaches between the religions. Dr. Faris says uncomprehensive Christian missionary work has contributed part of this misunderstanding.
"We must give Mohammed recognition along with the prophets of Christianity in having a great influence on the religious and cultural beliefs of the world," Dr. Faris said. "We must recognize the vitality of a religion that in 10 years transformed Arabia into a religious state with definite cultural traits of its own." Dr. Faris said.
Details concerning the life of Mohammed are sketchy due to the lack of written records of his life while he still was alive.
Dr. Paris, the first visiting professor to KU under the Rose Morgan professorship, outlined in detail the life of the prophet Mohammed, the founder of Islam, in the lecture.
"Perhaps there is a paradox in the similarity of lives of great religious leaders." Dr. Faris said. He pointed out that Mohammed's life was similar to Jesus, in that he was recognized as a born leader at an early age, but did not assume the role until later life.
Many misunderstandings are present in the Christian world concerning Mohammed, Dr. Faris said. Glorification and deification of Mohammed have come about because of oral translation of the prophet's life for many years, Dr. Faris said.
