By LOUIS CASSEL9 United frl Ceijondn W3shinton The legis lative program which President Eisenhower presents to Congress next Januarw will Include sev eral proposal for t'.renjthening American ducatiofi. The President is expected to repeat his Jle for large-scale federal financial aid for class room construction. This- was de feated by a close vote in the House at the last session. Rec ent disclosures that Russia is "out-educating" America in the vital fields of science and en gineering may im grove its chan ces next year. Other Necessary Measures Other measures which the President consider necessary are: 1. A nationwide system for tetting high school students. Academy standards of high schools now vary so widely by communities that the average diploma is virtually meaningless. I Administering uniform tests to I all students would enable each j school to see how its standards compare with the rest oi tne country, and would put pressure on lax schools to tighten up. There is likely to be strrenuous opposition to this idea from state education officials who see it as a device for the federal govern ment to set minimum require ments for high school diplomas. 2. Financial incentives for high-apitude students to pursue scientific or professional studies. Russia channels the top 30 per cent of its high school graduates into institutinos of higher learn ing to be trained as scientists, engineers or teachers. Soviet students who make good grades are actually paid a salary for attending college. In America, where the cost of attending college averages $1,500 a year, only about half of the high school graduates with above average IQs go on to higher in stitutions. 3. An expanded program to improve the quality of science and mathematics teaching in U.S. schools. About $15 million is being spent this year on such projects. The National Science Foundation, for example, has 57 Million Americans Last Year Cave $6 Billion to Institutions By FRED DAWZIG United Press Correspondent New York U" Has a friend or neighbor just "put the bite" on you for a worthy charity. If, not you're being neglected. This is the season for philan thropy, with the Christmas ipirit and tax regulations being what they are. Last year, 57 million Ameri cans contributed six billion dol lars to support 500,000 gift-supported institutions such as libra ries, hospitals and universities. Collecting this money were 35 million volunteers, nearly one out of every five people in our country. This army was direct ed largely by about 450 profes sional fun-raising firms and 12, 500 trained fund-raisers who re ceived about 5i million dollars in fees last year. Operate Ok Fee Basis It's a business that is behind our largest charity drives, for the fund-raising counsellors set up and direct the machinery for collecting the cash. They oper ate on a fixed fee basis and do not cojlect money, which is the solicitor's job. The fund-raising counsels, many of whom belong to the American Association of Fund Raising Counsels, Inc., a trade organization, generally scorn the sidewalk coin box method. "It's not very profitable or dig nified," said one executive. Another not-too-pbpular de vice is the direct mail solicita tion. Many fund-raisers resort to the mails only as a last gasp, or "mopping up" operation. In setting up a charity drive Kj)19-26-30-42 65-78-87-891 to STAR GAXElC! ARKS MAR. 22 20 TAURUS Mv.

They also seek strong leadership for the philanthropy, a solid corps of volunteer work ers and, of course, an audience that has money to spare. Millionaires, as a group, give the largest amounts to charity, percentage-wise. In 1945, they gave about 9 per cent of their income to charity. Now they give about 12 per cent. The rest fof us give between 3 and 5 per cent. Franklin Raised Funds Our fund-raising counsellors have come a long way since the days of Benjamin Franklin, who raised money for a hospital in Pennsylvania back in Colonial times. World War I, with its Liberty and Victory Loan drives, gave the fund-raising profession a big boost, and they've been doing well ever since. Some of our older, most experienced firms have become specialists. The Ward, Dreshman and Reinhardt Company, for example, handles only church appeals and church related campaigns. The Will, Folsom and Smith firm special izer in hospitals. In order to squeeze out the crooks, 22 states have enacted laws that govern charity cam paigns and an additional 13 states are in the process of adopting regulatory legislation. In addition, many cities have their own ordinances aimed at keeping out the phony charity. One estimate said that in 1950, 3 per cent of our contributions went to racketeers. Because of state and local laws, and the work of such groups as the Bet ter Business Bureau, the Na tional Information Bureau, the chambers of commerce and the AAFRC, the percentage is 'way down. i awarded grants totalling $4,350,' 000 to 17 colleges to conduct training institutes for high school match. and science teachers. 4. Fellowships for college stu dents preparing for teaching ca reers. These presumably would be concentrated in the fields of mathematics and science, where the most acute shortages of high school teachers now exist. Still No Complete Remedy Even if all these proposals are approved, federal authorities say they will not add up to a complete remedy for America's educational problems. The big gest part of the job of planning an financing better schools will continue to rest with local communities Marion B. Folsom, secretary of health, education and welfare warned that this job cannot be done cheaply. "The dollar cost of meeting our Increased education needs will be immense by current standards," he said. "But our concern should center on the far greater cost of not meeting the challenge that faces Amer ican education." America is the richest nation in the world, he said, and there is no question that we can "af ford" a top-notch school system if we really want it. "It is a matter of voluntarily assigning the proper priorities, of making the corret choices, for the investment of our re sources. "Conceivably, we may have to get along with a little less chrome and perhaps a few less country clubs in American civil ization in order to hase more classrooms and more and better paid teachers." 16-Year-0ld Hurt By Another Youth Police today: are still Investi gating the assault of James Nicholas dePlace, 16, 1392 Pop lar dr. Wednesday afternoon. The youth, suffered minor in juries, according to Medford police. Police said, the youth was at tacked while he was walking along Crater Lake ave., between Stevens and Spring sts., about 3 p.m. A witness told city police that a car pulled up beside de Place, a youth dressed in a green jacket got out and struck de Place for no apparent reason.

Main and Fir Medford IMMEDIATE DELIVERY Allergic Reactions To Vaccine Caused by Silk, Research Shows BY DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (IP) Silk is the reason why some people get al lergic reactions from vaccines and other "biological" medicines, according to the scientific solu tion of a long-standing puzzle in allergy. The silk is the silk through which the vaccines and other "biologicals" were filtered in the process of manufacture. There they picked up the silk "anti gen" which sets off an allergic reaction in sensitive persons. The solution was contained in two reports to the American Academy of Allergy. One inves tigator found minute amounts of the antigen in Asian flu vac cine and in the Salk polio vac cine of four out of" five manu facturers. Use Silk Fillers The latter was odd because the procedures for making the Salk vaccine are exceedingly strict and they do not include filtra tion through silk. However, the investigator, Dr. Monroe Cole man, of the Jewish Hospital, Brooklyn, pointed out that some companies filter distilled water through silk and use this water in making vaccines. Dr. Coleman was stimuated in to an exacting investigation of silk antigens (or lack of it) in the ducts of four manufacturers and single products of nine others. The stimulation came from a study by a group of Cleveland doctors headed by Dr. Harold J. Friedman of a boy who had a strange flare-up of long-arrested asthma after receiving the com bined vaccine for whooping cough, tetanus, and diptheria. They traced the flare-up to a silk antigen contained in the vac cine. Coleman pointed to five rec orded cases of "severe immediate allergic reactions" in silk-sensitive persons after vaccinations. He said he knew of five others and estimated there have been "many more whose true nature were not recognized." 27 per Cent Incident He granted that it was not pos sible to estimate how many peo ple who have one or more aller gies are specifically allergic to silk. However, he tested 250 such persons with silk extract and found that 69 were, which is an incidence of 27 per cent. "The risk of dangerous al lergic reactions to silk could be reduced by banning the use of silk filters in the pharmaceutical industry," he said. "As substitu tes, glass filters, various forms of Seitz-type -filter and nylon and stainless steel screens are available. . "At the present time, silk-sensitive patients should be warned of the possible danger of biologi cal injections. If possible, they should be skin tested with each product before use." Dr. Friedman and his asso ciates, in their report to the academy, suggested that manu facturers should Indicate In printed matter accompanying biologicals whether there is any chance of the silk antigen being in them. This printed matter should also contain "a warning of its potential danger to silk sensitive individuals."
