New York-fllPB - The fund
for the advancement of e&
ucation said it has made
grants totaling $12,290,527
during the past two-and-three-quarter
years for programs to
improve the quality of educa
tion in the United States.
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.

Centennial of
Pony Express To
Be Marked in I960
. 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

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.

Chatter
New York-flJPD-Be skeptical

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

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.

strengthened its defenses near
