Source of Pride -He said American produa tion and development of in tercontinental ballistic mis siles was showing remarkable progress and should be a con stant source of American pride, not any reason for hang-dog humiliation. -As for the claim Tuesday that Russia is now mass-producing ICBMs, Eisenhower doubted whether 100 per cent credence in such statements was justified. -Eisenhower said he would welcome conferences at any time with Democrats, as well as Republicans, in Congress on pending legislation.

SEE YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED PONTIAC DEALER DEAN & TAYLOR PONTIAC CO., 6th and Grape said that no radical changes were required to improve secondary education. Must Support Schools However, Conant said this would only be true "if the citizens in many localities display sufficient interest in their schools and are willing to support them."

About an hour and a half later he got a ticket for driv ing the opposite direction on the same street - for the same violation. Me i e r investigated and found that in the interval, street crews had discovered they put the one-way signs up wrong and turned them around. The unidentified driv er will probably have to pay both fines anyway, Meier said. ation; and Lawrence G. Der thick, U. S. Commissioner of Education. Kaiser said more federal money may be needed by the nation's schools. He pointed out that long with exploding enrollments and shortages of teachers, many districts are faced with growing public re sistance against tax increases. Opposes Federal Support He said he believed schools could accept federal aid with out losing local control. Shuman disagreed. He said federal support would mean more education instead of better, and urged the dele gates to fight "creeping social ism that is about to destroy this country." Derthick said the govern ment will spend approximate ly SI billion in the next four years under the National Edu cation Act. He indicated a re luctance to push for addition al federal aid. "Our schools and the Amer ican way of life call for sacri fice and hard work at the grass roots level," he said.

Meaning of Degrees Conant said there is a mis understanding about the meaning of a high school diploma which has led some people to urge that the re quirements be "stiffened up." He said he believed this line of approach to the cur rent problem was a mistake. "To be sure, a high school diploma does not mean what it did 60 years ago," Conant said, "but neither does a bachelor's degree from a col lege. "We must accept these facts.
