The orchestra toured the Orient last summer under State Depart ment sponsorship as a part of the U. S. cultural program to combat Communist propaganda abroad. It was a smash hit in Japan, the Philippines and other stops on its six-week tour. Last year's Orient tour cost the government $267,005. which came from President Eisenhower'! em ergency fund. Why the State Department abruptly canceled a second tour planned for this fall was recount ed in 'testimony given last week to the House Appropriations Com mittee and made public Friday.

To imash what, was described as "an exceedingly serious situa- tion," two high State Department School starts at I a.m. Children arriving by bus or auto, ! hAw .r- .rmiiirf Mt. th school grounds. Others wait at Highland Park, across the street,!""" from the school, or on other near by property. High Enrollment Cited At a recent Mothers' Club meet ing Highland Principal Glade Fol lis explained that because of the school's heavy enrollment of about 400, permitting all tht children to mill about the grounds for any length of time would be undesir able and would create an addition al supervisory problem for teach ers. Several property owners, includ ing a nearby grocery store opera tor, have complained to the school about children standing around and littering up their yards while wait ing to cross the street to school property. Request Made A committee of Highland Moth ers, headed by Mrs. Lila Alexan der, has asked public school au thorities to permit the children to enter the grounds at 8:30 a.m., one-half hour before classes take up. : ' t Students who go home for lunch at noon are also not permitted on the school grounds until within 10 minutes before classes take up again. Some mothers also want this changed. "A check of other schools in Salem shows that most of them do not encourage children to come to school before 8:45 a.m., but do not deny them access to the grounds if they do," said Mrs. Virginia Ramsey, a member of the mothers committee. Timing Difficult "As mothers we find it difficult to time our younger children so that they will arrive at school exactly at a given time. While; the kids stand around on street cor ners waiting to get onto the school grounds some of them dart back and forth across the Itreets, creat ing a traffic-safety problem," she said. The women also have discussed the. matter with' Dr.' Walter Sny der, superintendent of Salem Pub lic Schools. They said Friday they also intend to appear at the next meeting of the Salem School Board. ' . Rhee Agrees , To 3rd Term SEOUL.

"What is needed.", said Dr. Stewart, "Is a program whereby a man begins to plan for his re tirtment while he's still young. !1 decides early on a plan of life for his old age.
