Ike Ready To Launch Crusade To Reawaken America To Science Washington IF President Eisenhower is ready to launch a great crusade to reawaken Amer ica to science. If he follows the plan of his scientific advisers, this will mean mobilizing the entire nation the federal government, states, local communities and the aver age citizen to a new concentra tion on scientific learning and achievement. Just how much the Chief Ex ecutive will reveal of the actual U. S. position in the science weapons race with Russia ap parently is still undecided. Van nevar Bush, head of the World War II government Science Of fice under which the atom bomb was developed, called Wednes day for a "real awakening" to the Rusian challenge and said "the whole story hasn't been told." The President himself demon- Flu Death Rale Tapering OH By UNITED PRESS The death rate from flu and lti complications showed signs of tapering off today despite se vere outbreaks in scattered parts around the country.

Ike Astonished He said he was "a bit aston ished" to find U. S. scientists with whom he has conferred since his previous news confer ence upset over '"where we are going to be in 10 years" from now. Eisenhower said the scientists wanted his support for a cam paign to reawaken the nation to need of increased scientific en deavor. He said he will do their bidding "if it is feasible, because I believe exactly what they said." While the President did not elaborate, the United Press learned that scientists who have talked to the President have put the issue to him this way: "The problem is well known. The accelerated advance of the Russians is well known. We have to change some of our own atti tudes. Not just the government but people in general. The next generation will have to work harder, become more competi tive if the United States is going to hold the position it should have in the world." Ike Can Do It The scientists, who are now drawing up plans for the cru sade, believe the President can "create the climate" for Amer ican science to get a powerful shot in the arm. This official said there are many plans afoot to improve teaching of science, a vastly needed feature in any resurg ance of scientific endeavor in America. He spoke of many ideas for beating the teacher shortage TV, new books, spe cial devices, more direct aid in the form of scholarships. "But until the public feels it necessary, there will be no pres tige no steam behind this movement. President Eisenhow er can remedy this. The most im portant thing is to impress on people the need for action. Then we will find ways of doing things." EAGLE POINT Halloween Part Scheduled By LAURA A.
