Democrats Ready To Challenge Ike To Risk Record -" Washington - (LTD - Demo crats were ready today to challenge Pesldent" Eisenhow er 10 nsK once more his rec ord of never having had a law enacted over his veto. . ' They p 1 a n ne d to push through , the. house - by nieht- fall a new $1,185,309,093 pub lic works appropriation bill carrying funds for all of the 67 : projects which . prompted him to veto the first bill 11 days ago. Republicans said they didn't s how they : could muster enough votes to knock out disputed funds on the House floor. They had even - less hope the Senate would delete them. ?Dar To Congressmen The bill carries money to finance flood control and nav igation projects throughout the country and reclamation projects in the West. The proj ects are dear to the hearts of many congressmen. Six days ago, the House failed by only one vote to muster the two-thirds margin needed to enact the first bill over the President's veto. The new bill is identical except for an across-the-board cut of 2.5 per cent for all projects. This trimmed the measure $30 million below the first bill . and $97,166 below the amount requested by Eisen hower. But it did not meet his objection to starting new water development projects which ultimately would cost about $800 million. Several .House Republicans who voted to uphold the first veto said that they would not do so again on the second bill. There was divided opinion as to whether the President would veto the second bill and, if so, whether Congress would get a chance to over ride him. V -Angry Attack Seen . Some lawmakers felt that the President would sign the second bill with an angry at- tack on the Democrats and ' then get his way by "freezing" funds alloted for some or all of the disputed projects. Others felt that Eisenhower might veto the second bill af ter Congress adjourns and then call the legislators back for a special session to write a third measure. .The communist party was declared illegal In Argentina in 1936. . . .

Betty D. - The children know too much for their own good. . Daniel D. I don't want my childrento be as ignor ant as I was. . Betty D. A recent case prominently featured in the newspapers flamed a long standing controversy between my husband and me. The case was the one involving schoolteacher who conducted a sex survey in his class room. We send our children to a private school. They get certain amount of sex educa tion in some of their classes Personally, I feel they go too far and some of the discus sions tend to make the kids dwell on these things ' too much. I feel they know too much for their own good. My husband disagrees-and so do many of the parents, Am I old-fashioned in my idea that the early and mid dle teenagers are too young for a lot of sex talk? - Daniel D. - I was brought up the old - fashioned way. Whatever I learned about sex was learned in the streets Many of the things I learned were wrong and harmful. No body had to start us on sex talk we did plenty of it without a responsible adult to guide us. The result of all this was that I was plunged into some very bad , experiences. My fears and , ignorance trapped me. I sure wouldn't want my children to go through the same thing. I feel that my children are being exposed to real , knowl edge, in a. wholesome atmo sphere. They are hot ashamed or afraid to ask : questions. They wil' be ready.for mar riage a In four or five years. Why. not prepare them? . -. , The Council: We think too many generalizations are being made in this area of sex education. . ' Many children brought up the "old-fashioned'' way ac tually received good sex edu cations because they were brought up in happy, loving homes. This doesn't mean they never had a fear, guilt or misapprehension about any thing. Most ' societies have some restraints and repres sions in this area, and fears and misunderstandings will arise as a result. . On ;: the other hand, the child deprived of close con tact with nature, subjected to severe taboos at home, wrong ly informed on the streets, got a mighty -poor education and suffered as a result. But "modern", sex educa tion is- also, a loosely ..- used term. If it is a question of thruthfully' answering a child's questions about the facts of life, we are all for it. Many good books; are avail able today which can be help ful to a parent in learning how to handle the questions. But the staging of public sex sessions -is not .necessarily either modern or education al. And we think that ' sex questionnaires, either for adults or youngsters, are one of the comedy-horrors of our conformist age. What is the point of determining "aver age" behavior in one of the few private, areas left to us? We can't determine for Betty whether or not her children . are being overex posed to sex education. Me can only say that most edu cators feel ' such education should start in the home with a tot's first questions. By the time a youngster is a teen ager, he should certainly know about the origins of life and how this pertains to his own body. Ordinary biology and physiology courses will supply him with more de tailed and exact data, without any undue emphasis on sex in itself. Betty and Daniel should also bear in mind that their children's standards of be havior will be based on many factors - their general ad justment to others, what they observe among the adults they look up to, what they are told at home, church, school and their outside ' reading and impressions. If a happy relationship exists between them and their parents, the standards instilled at home will tend to prevail. ! (Copyright 1959, General Features Corp.)
