November 7, 19S5 Dangers Of Television A friend of ours, whose TV set was recently connec ted to the cable, has discovered a new danger in television, Said friend heard a funny noise in the bedroom of his four-year-old son early the other morning, and went in to see what was up. He arrived just in time to see the lad opening his bedroom window. The boy was dresed in his Bwimming trunks and had the bedspread thrown over his shoulders. "I'm Superman," he announced as he prepared to leap out the second-story bedroom window. Now, our friend wonders, how do you go about tell ing a four-year-old that it's all right to imitate his father but that some and only some TV characters are not to bo aped. Well, WellAnother Trojan Horse! All-Out Race for Farm Vote Future Education Needs A few days ago we discussed in this space a state ment by the Chancellor of the Oregon state system of higher education that college enrollment will be double the present figure before 1965. This tremendous increase in enrollment, which of course will be felt by primary and secondary schools prior to the colleges, focuses attention on yet another problem. For the past few years school systems have been complaining of difficulty experienced in locating an ade quate supply of qualified teachers. Recent figures on ex pected school enrollments indicate this problem will be worse in the future than it has been in the past. A i. 1U. J U.,.. U,.,.l M.,. futiii.n h7 a Now York education foundation makes some interest- CaSOn 111 Washington ing comparisons. It says that the biggest problem facing education in the next ten years will be that of getting enough good teachers, at every level of education. It is estimated that this need alone could take half of the college graduates for the next ten years. (At present about one college graduate In five enters the teaching field.) The group believes there are three main sources of future teachers present teachers, students now in high school and adults with necessary education qualifications who might be attracted into teaching in the future. All three are important sources. One of the main present trouble spots in' teacher re cruitment ih the teacher salary schedule. Many persons, particularly those who are seeking votes, say that if sal ary schedules were raised the (supply proMem would be solved. The answer, of course, is not that simple. J'rcsent teacher salary schedules have four major weaknesses. They are: (1) Present salary schedules are too low in compe tition with other fields, particularly for men; (2) Starting salary schedules are too low, particu larly for men, when compared to what they can earn in other fields; (3) Advancement in salary is not based upon any measure of performance, the best and the poor move up the ladder at the same speed depending almost entirely on time served in the profession. (4) Top salary schedules are too low, primarily be cause the top schedules are spread too thinly among too many teachers, a number of whom are not top teacliers ex cepting in length of time spent teaching. "Until some of these problems can be straightened out, teaching will continue to be short of qualified perilous.

This is the real significance of the six-point supplementary 'arm program announced by President Eisenhower at Denver after his conference with Secretary of Ag riculture tv.ra Taft Benson. Politically, this new Republican farm program has the effect of be ing a counterproposal to offset th stand tnlftMl by Democratic lender Adlai ft. Stevenson, Gov. AvcrelJ llamman and others in favor of 90 pel1 cent price suppoiis. So while spokesmen for both parties may deny it, the race is oir to see which prirlh can nwm- se farmers the most. It is j ihamcless bid by both lo buy the farm vote. That this rivalry comes a year ahead of next election day, a record. It is the dedine in farm income1 and Hie rise in the cost of things farmers buy lhat spark this earb political auction. Republican lead- ts realize they can't afford to acrifiee a single congressional seal next year even for a prin- iplo. Details of the new Picnson pi o- grnm ull be unfolded gradually. The plan to tmy canned porn meals, cured hams and lard is merely the first step. The plan to buy surplus U.S. sugar is second. The full program won't be known until Congress reconvenes in Jan uary. Some administration officials be lieve that the Secretary of Api culture lias ample authority under present law to put new polices into operation. Benson himself does not think sot He will tl."ie fore wait on congressional appro val before getting too far out on a limb. Any new program requiring ad ditional money will, of course, re quire a congressional appropria tion. This year Congress tht-int the secretary didn't ask for enough money and forced more on him. What Congress will do with new farm legislation if present law is thrown open for amendment is anybody's guess. The grand total of all money available to Department of Agri culture this year is, in round num bers, a staggering 3.7 billion dol lars. It Includes a two-billion-uol-lar increase (to 12 billion dollars for crop loans and million dol lars for electrification and farm home loans. It also includes ?0 per cent pt all customs receipts, an est limit lift million dollars for purchasing temporary surplus perishables thai affect the market. The 8.Vmillion dollar pork purchase money conies out of this. The Department of Agriculture's other programs gel 7S7 milho.i dollars in direct appropriations for this year. Under the new program, the 98 million - dollar research program will be stepped up by an as it unknown amount. 'The 295-million-dol.ar soil ami agricultural conservation pro grams will be stepped up. If thij involves taking 10 per cent of America's 3!)0 million acres out of production by a subsidy of $10 nr acre, il would cost 3jU million dol lars more a year. 'Expanding aid to low - inconn farm families can cost as much as Congress wants to put into M. The government now has over seven billion dollars' worth .it sur pluses. This includes li.B billion dollars' woth of wheat and 1.4 billion dollars' worth of corn. Se ing this for feed at only a 10 per cent loss would cost three hund'trl million dollars. Nobody has estimated the cost of trying to get the "suittMse' farmers out of production on mar ginal lands in the dust bowl. Hut the total cost for this new Benson supplementary farm pro gnmi could reach one billion dollars. Possible Aid To Israel Eyed WASHINGTON (UP) The United States may provide some anti-air craft, anti-tank and other defensive weapons to Israel if Allied investi gation shows they are needed toi offset Soviet bloc deliveries to srael within the next few days will present the State Department i long list of "defensive weapons" it wants quickly from the United States.

But Allen said ho believes Egypt and Israel "very well might" ac cept Hie United Natior.s proposal for a ceasefire.

Magsaysay In Test of Strength By UNITED PRESS One of the tbest frfends the United States has will face a test of his strength tomorrow. He is big, hearty, corrupt ton- hating President Ramon .Magsay say of the Philippines. In a mid-term election, Filipinos will be voting for nine of their country's 24 senators and for thou sands of provincial governor; mayors and city councillors. The two men who were mainly responsible for Magsaysay's elec tion in November, 1953, are among those who are campaigning against him. Maesaysay Pro-American L Though few of the election con tests are of national importance, Magsaysay's opponents are looking forward to the next presidential election, to be held in November, 1957. Magsaysay's enemies have been able to find but one big accusation to make against him that he is too pro-American. His two most bitter opponents are Claro M. Recto and Jose P. Laurel. They, as Nationalist party leaders, picked Magsaysay as Ihe man who might defeat Liberal President Elpidio Quirino for re election in 1933. Magsaysay had served brilliant ly as Quirino's defense minister. But he resigned from the cabinet, and from the Liberal party, be cause he said the administration was ridden by corruption. The biggest contest tomorrow is one for the Senate. Brake With Backer Recto is running for re-election! as senator. Though he says he is1 still a Nationalist, he is running as a "guest" candidate of the Lib eral party. Laurel, also still in the Nationalist party o f f i c i a 1 1 y, is backing him. Magsaysay broke with Recto last July when Recto said, in a Senate speech, that he was "an American puppet." Recto announced he planned to run for the presidency in 1957 in order to keep Magsayszy from get ting a second term. "Let him run," Magsaysay said. "He can run as a candidate of the Chinese Communists. I will run as an enemy of Communism and a friend of th5 United States."" ' Letiers To the Editor: Why pay tile farmer to let acres idle?

Grant's Sage Bnishings This is National Cat Week, as you've road here and elsewhere. I have it on the authority of the American Feline Society that of all of God's lesser creatures hind ered by fallacies, old wives' tales and misinformation, the cat ranks first as the victim of man s thoughtless abuse, vilification and maltreatment. Jn its 17 years of operation, the Society has moved the cat from twelfth to second position, as a pet. -He has entered the theatre, motion pictures, TV and radio; we see him looking at us from the pages of our magazines and news papers and from Ditiooards lusuai ry, with a startled expression up- his handsome, bewlusxered face!) Librarians tell us that we can choose from some 300 cat book titles. Tweedie, the matriarch of Calico Farm, seemed unimpressed when I told her about the fine work of the Society. Blackie? the panther like tomcat, opened his eyes and yawned. But Sunny, the long-haired yellow Persian, jumped up' in my lap and swatted me in the face. So I assume that Sunny, at least, is interested in the efforts for Ihe cause of catdom. Did you know that a eat is numbered among tint funs of the Brooklyn Dodgers? A eat owner insisted on buying her pet a sea son ticket, so he could have a seut of his own. He attended nil the games. (And contributed his share of vat-calls, no doiiht.)

A new grand jury panel will be sworn in on Wednesday and will hear the case, which rocked inter national society, when Mrs. Wood ward's physicians say she Is well enough to testify. Mrs. Woodward, a patient at Doc-i tors Hospital since the fatal shoot ing in their Oyster Bay home eight days ago,, does not know the shoot ing will go before a Nassau County grand jury. Her physician reported Sunday she has not even engaged a lawyer "because she actually feels she does not need a lawyer." Dr. John M.
