This "imbalance" persists, it said, in spite of last year's military pay increase and other measures designed to bolster enlisted manpower skills. The report, made public by Assistant Defense Secretary for Manpower Charles C. Fin- ucane, painted a generally op timistic picture nevertheless. It showed an increasing trend Red Codfish Pigments Analyzed Ottawa (Science Service) A real "red herring" is the Atlantic cod. Two Canadian scientists re port here that they have ana lyzed the orange'red flesh in several rare specimens of this important food fjsh. Two pig ments are responsible for the red cod. they point out in the current issue of the Jour nal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. The entire fish, including head, fins, muscle tissue and the lining of its intestinal cav ity, was a "pronounced orange-red" color, report E. G. Bligh and W. J. Dyer of the Board's technological station in. Halifax, N.S. Astaxanthln - which gives salmon its color - was found However, . another pigment called zeaxanthin was also present in the proportion of one part to two parts of the salmon pigment.

Staying Longer The authors of the report were unable to say how much the manpower reductions or dered during the, past three bishop of St. Paul and four University of Minnesota pro fessors have said Mrs. Otto Krai and her mathematician husband were within their rights in taking their 8-year-old son out of public schools a year ago. and Q. iKEM a jw 5:30, Saturday Till 5 cover EARTH 31 cm . awra 3-5333 years affected the various services' ability to hold on to their men. Nor could they say how much the 1957-58 econ omic recession stimulated young men to enlist or re enlist. " The report showed plainly . ine proiessors even saia young Tommy Krai was get ting a better education from his mother than the average public school child. But a municipal judge rul ed that the Krals violated the state school attendance law by electing to educate their boy along 'the old standards of reading, writing and 'rith metic. The Krals have appealed the decision and feel their fight is worth while. Already, Mrs. Krai said, Tommy is a year ahead of other children his age in his studies. Tommy is no genius, his mother says just an average boy. ' "Sometimes I have to stand over him to get the lessons done," she said, "At other times he digs right in. But when the work is finished, he's always very proud of it." Classes began at the Krals' rural home last year, but are now being held in a small house in nearby St. Paul, Minn. Three other children have joined Tommy in the school, and authorities have given their approval to toe enlarged project. It apparent ly satisfies requirements for classification as a private school. Location Not Revealed The. location of the school has not been revealed, Mrs, Krai said, to avoid "busy bodies" who have no real in terest, in the school's aims. Letters- by the dozens have poured in to the family. Some are curious, . some scornful; others have nothing but praise. "Our staunchest sup porters," said Mrs. Krai, "seem to be lawyers and teachers." Mrs. Krai, who majored in classical languages for her college degree, contends that schools should return to teaching the "basic" subjects. "Our school has no frills," she said, "We're only trying to undo what the public schools have done to our chil dren." "Very simply" she said, "it's a case of traditional edu cation versus 'life adjust ment.' When the Afton-Lake-land school formed an ele mentary student council - to decide policy and we discov ered it took six weeks to make a bread board in an in dustrial arts class, that was just about enough.!' Mrs. Krai teaches her stud ents to write from the very beginning "None of this manuscript printing." English is taught on the basis of the language's Latin and Greek foundations. "No body builds on a foundation with no mortar in it," Mrs. Krai said by way of explana tion. ; Basis for Reading Lessons McGuffy's Readers, out of print since 1920, are the basis for reading lessons. The books first appeared in 1836, were revised five times, and sold 120 million copies before they went off the shelves. " Hamilton's Arithmetic, al so out of print, is the basis for study in that field. "We finally found copies in an old Chicago bookstore," Mrs. Krai said, "It gets to the point, and that's what we were interested in." German, poetry, mythol ogy, geography, world his tory and music appreciation are regular parts of the curri culum. Tommy's father, who is chief of the mathematics department at the Minnesota Combat Troops on that more men are staying in service longer, that the intel ligence level is much higher because Congress authorized the services to raise stand ards, and enlisted- men are better behaved as shown by AWOL, - court martial and prison rate statistics. s Finucane told reporterslhe Defense Department, 'despite improved enlistment rates, wants the,, draft to continue indefinitely, because suc& "pressure" is needed to keep young men signing up for all the services. In any event, hg added, the Army could not get along without it. No Legislation Planned The defense manpower boss Eagle Point Sets Adult Instruction In Farm Courses Eagle Point - The Eagle Point Vo-Ag advisory board has laid out a long range adult agricultural education course covering four years, said Nat Etzel, Eagle Point vo-ag instructor. This fall a course in farm electrification will be given, starting tentatively on Oct. 20, Etzel said, In the winter terra a course on soils, fertilization and irrigation will be taught. Bob Lonzway, of the Sams Valley - Beagle soil conserva tion district, will teach the conservation section ef the course. For the fall of 1960 CI school year are welding or farm carpentry will be taught. Farm business law will be given during the winter term. During the 1961-62 fail term welding, arc and gas, will be offered. Livestock disease and sanitation will be taught dur ing the winter of that year. For 1962-63 , the fall course has not been determined, Et zel said. Livestock feeding will be set for the winter course. "Since our area features beef and dairying, our courses pre designed to meet these in terests," Etzel said. in the vo-ag department, the juniors and teniori just course on farm carpentry. Cutting rafters, braces, fig uring building materials and laying out the foundation for transit, were explained to the) Class. This group will study soil management next week, Etzel said. . . 'Boy oi Year' Got Title Hard Way New York (UPD The na tional "Boy of the Year,", chosen from 500,000 members of the Boys' Clubs of America, earned his title the hard way. John Drupa, 16, of Bing hamton, N.Y., was born in Latvia. His mother was fore ed to flee Soviet troops with John, his brother and sister. His father and an older broth er were taken prisoner and pent to Siberia. In 1951, after years of wandering through Europe, John and his family came to the United States. Although he couldn't speak English when he arrived, he became an honor student and rang doorbells, and made speeches to get out the vote in 1956.

Subjects include landmark, navigation regulations, chan nels, anchorages, dangers, routes, weather, ice, pilotage and port facilities, , Mining and ' Manufacturing Co., helps out With arithmetic and chemistry. "We expect no miracles," Mrs. Krai said, "We only want to give our son a good education in things that count. We want to be free of IQ tests that put dog tags on people - deciding which can learn and which can't. We don't want any philosophy of education forced upon us."

This is based on reeniistment fates and length pf experience of its men. . , - The Marine Corps stood at the bottom in experience lev els. The Air Force figures showed that 57.3 per cent of all its enlisted men have had more than four years service compared with 35.8 per cent for the Marines, 38.5 per cent for the Army, and 41.6 per cent for the Navy, The Air Force also was the only service reenUsting more than 24 per cent of its first term regulars. The Defense -Department frankly conceded that there were "inadequate" numbers of men being retained in such vital skills as : electronics, other technical areas, and in the ground combat elements pf thp Army and Marine Corps. But its figure? showed marked improvement in those fields since 1957. . While a reeniistment rate of 33 per cent is considered "optimum" for electronics specialists, the current rate is 26.5 per cent, it was 20.6 per cent in 1957. The "opti mum" for ground troops would be 29 per ent while the current actual rate is 25,6 per cent, compared with 19.9 per cent in 1957.

The other services, which don't use the draft except as an enlistment stimulant, have been able to reduce their in takes of new men by about 50.000 a year because of their much improved reeniistment rates which make for "a more seasoned enlisted force."
