(UPI Telephoto) Parents Want to Know What Child Is Doing in Class (editor's nott: Thii Is anothrr tn a serifs of arlirlrs fiirntshrd bv the National Education asso ciation. Today's artirtr deals with parents' desire to know what the child is doing in class.) Washington, D C. - It was the end of the first week of school. As the dismissal bell rang, the little first - grader caught her teacher's hand. 'Please. Miss Brown," she said, "will you tell me what I learned today? Every night, my Daddy wants to know.'" Wanting to know what is happening to and for his child in the unfamiliar world of school is tiic hallmark of every parent. It's written all over his crisp or cagey ver sion of the question . . . "and what did you do in school to day?" Actually a child brings home a report card every day, according to the National Education association. Some times, though, the parent has to turn sleuth to be able to read it. If he bursts through the door singing lustily, she can deduce that it's been a good day at school; and a little later, if she plays her cards right, she may find that he's going to read Amahl's lines in the puppet opera, or that he made A in a science test. Bad Day Figuring Figuring out why he's had a bad tiny - or a series of them - takes more than a "Spoclc" of genius, however. He may give it away In conversations with his friends ("I don t sec why that old teacher gets so sore when a guy loses his spelling list"), or by the draw ings and tests and written work he doesn't bring home.

Ohio Democrat Wants Increased Defense Spending Washington - IUPD - S e n . Stephen Young (O-Ohio) says Congress should vote $2 bil lion over what the adminis tration wants for defense be cause President Eisenhower is not "up to date" on American military needs. Young, known for his out spoken comments both on and off the Senate floor, said he felt there was "a feeling of smugness in this administra tion that President Eisenhow er is the last word of authority on defense." "... I think that warfare has so changed that he is not," Young declared. The Ohio Senator voiced his views as the Senate recon vened for a post-convention bobtail" session. Young said he thought Con gress should get busy and ap propriate the extra defense money during the next three weeks so that this country can move faster in trying to catch up with the Russian missile and spaca lead.

Kennedy (D-Mass.) was elected president this Novem ber, he would do away with this 40-hour week in missile development and rocketry" and close the missile gap with in "a couple of years." The Ohio Senator, turning to the international scene, said he didn't favor formal diplo matic recognition of Red China but felt this country could still trade with them and possibly get rid of some surpluses. There s a market for the products of American farms and factories," he said. "Doing business with the Chinese and trading our products does not imply recognition of the Red Chinese government."

Both Fast, Slow Drivers Are Menace The non conformist driver who picks his own speed re gardless of traffic conditions is a "menace to all others on the road," Medford Chief of Police Charles Champlin said today. "Tlie driver who goes to fast causes accidents," Champ lin said, "and the driver who goes too slow contributes to traffic congestion which, in turn, increases the possibility of accidents on crowded city streets and heavily-traveled highways." He added, "Both the speedy and the pokey driver need to adjust their speed to traffic conditions." "A driver who adjusts his speed to traffic conditions is one who keeps pace with the flow of traffic. Ideally, if all drivers followed this practice, there would be little need for anyone to pass other vehicles, and our accident rate would plummet."
