Education Fund Grants $12,290,527 To Improve Quality Ger eral Assembly In Windup Drive United Nations, N.Y. - (DPD - The General Assembly started its windup drive with two meetings Saturday and hoped to adjourn its 14th annual ses sion by this weekend. ' The Assembly's main poli tical committee also held a double-header 'Saturday ses sion in an effort to finish its debate on ths 5-year .war be tween France and the Alger ian Nationalists. It was un likely, however, that a vote would be taken before Tues day on a 22-power Afro-Asian resolution calling for informal talks between "the two par ties" on a cease-fire and self determination for Algeria.

Since its establishment by the Ford Foundation in 1951, the fund has received grants totaling $57,847,265 from the foundation for work in the field of formal education. .. Throo Major Problems In a report on the fund's activities from Jan. 1, 1957, to Sept. 30, 1959, fund Presi dent Dr. Clarence H. Faust said the philanthropise organ ization had been concerned with three major problems 'in the advancement of educa tion: ... "The improvement of teach ers and administrators, the improvementof the programs of schools and colleges, and the improvement of the rela tionships of education institu tions to the society which supports them." Faust said education in the United States once had been regarded primarily as a means of providing opportunities for individual advancement. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, he said, schools were regarded as hav ing an important role in help ing immigrants beeome as similated in the American so ciety. More recently, the ed ucational emphasis shifted to "problems of internal adjust ments of students, " he said. At present, however, "the consideration of, education, the analysis of its problems and proposals for their solu tion, has increasingly re volved around what might be called the interest in 'man power,' " Faust said. Increasing Awareness This new concern, "he said, "has its major roots in an in creasing awareness of the pos sibilities and dangers of our relationships to other nations and especially our meanacing conflict with Russia." However, he said, - "there are already signs that many parents are disinclined to brine up their children as manpower resources. "Preoccupation with the manpower aspects of educa tion, however statesmanlike, runs into the fundamental question whether the indi vidual exists for society or society for the individual. On this question, the American commitment would seem to be clear, that the individual is not primarily to be regard ed as a resource of the state but the state as a means for assuring the full flowering of the individual." In Russia, he said, educa tion has two functions: "The indoctrination of youth in Communist principles and the development of each individ ual's capacities .for specializ ation in the service of the State." Education in the- United States also is concerned to see that students "acquire the values of a democratic so ciety and that they develop their special abilities to make ! important contributions to our national welfare - and .secur ity." However, he said, the Amer ican system "aims not at in doctrination and absolute ac ceptance of a set of ideas, but at the development of each individual's capacity to think for himself. " . "Our interest is not in con formity and the social solidar ity that conformity produces, but in the development of the powers of independent thought and the independent flowering of the individual s capacity. Similarly, in the matter of specialization, our concern is not with mere training, that is, with fixing a standard way of . doing things, but in the develop ment of originality and cre ativity by. means of which better ways of doing" things may be found.1 Eisenhower Gains On Khrushchev In World Travel 9 London-flJPD - President Ei senhower's peace mission will put him ahead of Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev in the personal diplomacy race- on a technicality. Since becoming' President, Eisenhower has visited seven foreign nations on official missions. He adds nine new nations in December for a total of 16. - Eight for Khruihcher Khrushchev has visited only eight nations (mostly satel lites) since he took over as Premier of the. Soviet Union. But in the preceding period when he was rising to su preme power behind the fa cade of ex-Premier Nikolai Bulganin, Khrushchev travel led to eight other countries for a total of-16. Of course, as SHAEF com mander in World War II and as NATO's Supreme Com mander afterward, Eisenhow er visited many countries of Europe. He also toured South Korea immediately before his inauguration as President, But in these travels he did not represent the United States in the position of pow er held by Khrushchev even before Bulganin's downfall. Ike's Travels Eisenhower has already traveled to Switzerland, Gen eva, France, England, West Germany, Mexico, Canada and Panama. Now he is ad ding Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Pakis tan, Greece, Italy, and the Vatican State. Khrushchev, as Premier, has travelled to Red China, Hun gary, Bulgaria, East Germany, Albania, Poland and Rumania and the United States. As chief of the Community Party he had previously travelled to Switzerland (G e n e v a), Czechoslovakia, India, Burma, Afghanistan, ' England, Yugo slavia and Finland.

Berkeley, Calif.-flJPD-For a doomed and debt-ridden en terprise that lasted only 19 months, the Pony Express has made quite an imprint on American history. The centennial of the fa mous horse - and - rider relay will be celebrated in 1960. But there is still some contro versy as to what prompted its backers to start the Pony Ex press at all. Roy S. Bloss of Alamo, Calif., an avid student of Western Americana, attempts to throw light on the problem in a book published by How-ell-North of Berkeley. The book's title gives a ' clue to Bloss' theory of why the Pony Express was established. It is called "Pony - Express -the Great Gamble." - Telegraph in Use When William H Russell, Alexander Majors and Wil liam B. Waddell started the mail-carrying operation that was to capture the fancy of America for the next 100 years, the telegraph was al ready reaching out across the country and it was obvious that it would soon cross the plains and obviate the neces sity for the expensive Pony Express. Yet the three men poured thousands of dollars into the enterprise, and received the plaudits of the nation - par ticularly that part of it to the west of the Great Pains. .' But before 'the telegraph put them out of business, the federal government had al ready done the job. Embezzle ment charges against Russell, which he beat by a, clever le gal maneuver, paved the way toward transfer of the Pony Express to other hands. And shortly thereafter it was de funct. " Pictures Included moss goes into detail on the financial- aspects of the enterprise as well as the hero ics of the riders and men who kept the way stations. He in cludes many pictures, a map of the route and a list (admit tedly incomplete) of all the men known to have ridden for the Pony Express. Missing from the list is the name of William Cody, the famous Buffalo Bill who oft en claimed to have performed wonders for the Pony Express. Bloss points out that Cody was only -13 at the time and his presence among the Pony Express riders' cannot be ver ified by any means except his own word-and that was years later. DEtd Takes (Peace Campaign Ditto Asia; Faces Complex Dssues Agitating Area Rome - (UPD - President Ei senhower's strenuous cam paign of personal diplomacy for peace, a great success dur ing two rain-drenched days here, moves now into Asia and the more complex issues agi tating that area. He is approaching that part of his trip which he considers most Jpportant, to be climax ed Dy iour days wim .Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in troubled India. In Rome, the President has been among old friends and firm allies, who already' were in basic agreement with the United States on all major is sues. They wanted only a re affirmation of close' ties, an acknowledgment .of . their im portance in the Western de fense alliance and understand ing of their economic objec tives. They got them all. Turkey, Pakistan Next The next two stops on the 22-370-mile trip are Turkey and Pakistan. These coun tries, too, are the firmest of allies. The Turks, in particu lar, have an outstanding rec ord, having been among the first to contribute substantial ly to United Nations forces which fought in Korea. But both Turkey and Pakis tan are worried about present American policy. Their offi cials declare frankly that they fear the United States, in its eagerness to reach some agree ment with Russia in order to relax world tensions, may be Red China Said Threat to Russia Washington - (DPD -'Sen. Alexander Wiley (R-Wis.) says the Red Chinese "are breed ing like rats" and, as a result, may someday end up at Rus sia's throat. .Wiley, ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee, said he felt this was a major reason why the Russians apparently have softened towards the West. "There's- no- place for $he Chinese . to -go except north Wall Street Chatter New York-flJPD-Be skeptical and follow professional ad vice closely next year, warns J.' R. Williston & Beane. . In its monthly letter, the stock exchange firm says "1960 is going to be a year of drastic fundamental changes when mental laziness and failure to follow the fun damentals and technicals in the stock market may prove ruininous." - stampeded into foolish or even fatal concessions Leaders of both countries will insist, in their talks with the President, that the "tough" policy pursued under the late Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles was what brought the Kremlin around to a more reasonable attitude. . Should Continue Altitude The Turks and Pakistanis believe the United States should continue that attitude, lea'ying it up'to Russia to make any concessions. Eisen hower will assure them that the willingness of the United States to negotiate indicates no change in policy or .soft ness. - Eisenhower's s c h e d u led five-hour stop Wednesday in, Afghanistan-which will have to be omitted if .the Russian built airport near Kabul is "weathered in"-is a gesture made in the hope of keeping America's foot in the door in that remote kingdom. f Russia already has poured massive aid into, the country and has a stranglehold on its economy. But King Moham med Zahir says he still wants to remain neutral and Eisen hower hopes he can help him. In Pakistan and India, the President runs into some of the toughest issues troubling Asia. India and Pakistan, long at dagger point over bor der and water disputees and possession of the', princely state of Kashmir, recently have been getting along bet ter. The President has no inten tion of getting into the middle of any of their disputes. But he is sure to urge them to work for even greater har mony - Great interest throughout the world will focus on Eisen hower's talks with Nehru, particularly that part of them concerning the border contro versy with Red China. Eisenhower is expected to tell Nehru that he has the moral support of the United States, plus continued eco nomic aid to help beef up In dian military forces if neces sary. The United States is report- ed to offer Nehru-mllltary aid if he wants it. But he is ex pected to seek, instead, con tinued economic assistance) and a promise that the United States will come to his aid if the chips go down in Asia. Own Brand of Magic -- . The President is carrying his own brand of --personal magic into Asia with the air of a man dedicated without reservation to his peace mis sion. Even in Rome, where not much "selling" was neces sary, the "new Eisenhower" was very apparent Italian of fials commented on his vigor ous approach to discussions, his obvious efforts to be un usually friendly to all he met and his intense sense of mis sion on his current trip. Whether personal "magic" can have any effect on basie problems of substance re mains to be seen. But the President is certainly giving it the old college try. Motion picture prospects are improving, radio-TV stocks are performing well and the tire stocks appear to be resuming a rising trend, notes United Business Service. Market behavior during No-, vember was normal for the tax selling period when . in vestors try to reduce their income tax liabilities, com ments Harris, Upham &. Co.. "If the market now continues to be guided by the currently foreseeable and the normal seasonal influences it should form a good base in December for the rally over the year end." and they are breeding like rats," Wiley said, "tpt nun- dred and fifty million Chinese will soon be a billion. Where can they go?" . He said the evidence was "very clear" the Kremlin was aware of the threat and had strengthened its defenses near the Red China border. sacoLUMBiAi for a Musical Christmas NUMBER ONE N THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SOUNO NEW COLUMBIA STEREOPHONIC CONSOLE 1 L with Remote "Stowaway" stereo-speaker that stows in the back of the cabinet!
