The top Republican on the House Ed ucation Committee charged today that the Eisenhower ad ministration's new school bill is misnamed, misleading, dum foundihg and demoralizing. In addition, Rep. Ralph W. Gwinn (N.Y.) said, it won't cure the present educational "crisis" but will create "an other crisis federal control." jGwinn blistered the admin istration's four-year billion dollar plan to bolster scien tific education in a speech pre pared for House delivery. 'Audacity Dumfounding' "The audacity of this bill is dumfounding," he declared. Gwinn said a key proposal for 10,000 college scholarships a year for four years is "noth ing more than a smokescreen." "More than three quarters of the money authorized by this measure is to be doled out to the states to pay sal aries of high school mathe matics and science teachers," he said. "It's real title should be the 'teacher pay bill of 1958, and its vote-gettine possibilities'." Gwinn said the federal gov ernment sought to grab cred it for boosting teachers' pay by advising the states to "drag their feet" on pay increases untill the bill's outcome can be determined. He called this a "demoralizing offer" and advised the states to disre gard it. One Dead, 22 Hurt In Bus-Truck Crash Reading, Pa.

Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Dramatic braking test made before top automotive editors. The Plymouth on the right had just completed a 58,000-mile cross-country run. Other tests included acceleration, ride smoothness, gas economy, handling ease. The 58,000-mile veteran performed like new I One of the Plymouths above is fresh from the assembly line. The other, a veteran of the toughest test run of all time: 58,000 continuous miles in 58 days. A thousand miles a day through 37 states. We put both cars through the same ex acting tests. Acceleration. Gas economy. Handling ease. Braking efficiency. The results: the Plymouth that had driven 58,000 miles the equivalent of 6 years on the road could hardly be told from new. Like the new Plymouth, it zoomed from 0 to 40, 0 to 60 in a matter of seconds. In a 40-mph "panic" stop, it halted within 38 inches of the new car. And in the vital area of gas economy, careful tests proved that the 58,000-mile car delivered almost the exact same mile age as the new Plymouth. It rode with a smoothness and handled with an ease that astounded even veteran test drivers . . . men who had thought they'd seen everything. What does it all prove? Just this: from the day you buy it, to the day you trade it in, your new Plymouth will take you to wherever you're going . . . faster, smoother, easier, safer. You get more value now . . . and you look forward to more dollars when you trade. Why not see your Plymouth dealer now? He'll give you a fair appraisal of your pres ent car. Then you'll see how easy it is to own America's biggest automotive value. yfi?06ff& stays young and proves it!
