Newspaper Page TextStudy Shows Lag In Scientific Education in U.S. Washington-(Science Serv IceiffLag in early science edu cation and failure to teach icience students foreign lan guages in the United States are among the major obsta cles to the advance of West ern science. . A report from the science adviser's office of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization highlighted these U.S. fail ings, but also noted that they ire common to most of the nations in the West. Fund Shortage Other major obstacles to science advances in the West em nations are shortages of funds, buildings, equipment, qualified teaching and tech nical personnel. Adequate salaries and status for gov ernment or teaching scientists, exchange of scientists and de velopment of coherent plans for the future on both nation al and international levels are also needed. , Unless such obstacles are overcome, modern science, which has its origins in the west, might in the future be dominated by the east, par ticularly the USSR. . Imitating the Soviet system of centralized and controlled direction of all science activi ties is not the answer, the report said. Although the USSR strong priority system has enabled the Russians "to achieve outstanding results," such a system is alien to a democratic nation and also to an international organization of democratic states. Action Needed , National action, the report said, is needed to remove all artificial barriers now hinder ing greater international cir culation of students and scien tists in the West. . The establishment by each country of a science council, to "include scientists, selected for their proven ability to ad minister scientific programs," also was recommended as well as the establishment of an International Institute of Science and Technology. Each of the science councils would coordinate national efforts with the objectives of the in ternational institute. Medford Tribune SECTTON C MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1960 PAGES 1 to 12 Accused Admits ifing Oregonian San Diego, Calif. - IUPI) - A Layafette, La., man admitted on the witness stand Wednes day that he fatally stabbed his brother-in-law.

Byrd, Democratic patriarch of Virginia, is expected to let the Nov. 8 election go by without naming his choice in the presidential contest. Friends of the conservative Virginian said- today that he intends to continue sitting out the campaign unless some un foreseen development causes him to change his mind. His silence so far has done much to build Republican con fidence that Vice President Richard M. Nixon will win Virginia's 12 electoral votes from Sen. John F. Kennedy. Virginia now rates at the top of the normally Demo cratic states of the South which GOP campaign cap tains hope and believe can be carried by Nixon in the election next month. Aided by a growing Repub lican vote and a similar atti tude on the part of Byrd. President Eisenhower carried '. Virginia in both 1952 and 1956.

MILES, MIAMI BBACH,FLA. 2Wl 36VJ Blind Person Able To Operate Switchboard With New Development A unique device that en ables a blind person to oper ate any telephone switch board has been developed by two Portland engineers of Pacific Telephone-Northwest. The announcement was made recently by F. M. Mit chell, vice president and gen eral manager for the com pany's Oregon operations, at a press demonstration held at the Portland Vocational Re habilitation center of the Oregon Commission for the Blind. Mitchell said a pilot model has been used successfully by personnel of the center since April of this year. A patent is pending for the unit in the names of Harry R. Banks and Charles Nicker son, the engineers who con ceived and devised it at the request of Charles C. Brown, director of the rehabilitation center. New Field Opened "A new field of employ ment opportunity will be opened by the Bell Tele- Braille, since the unit gives sightless switchboard at tendant almost the same capa bilities of speed and accuracy in operating a board as a per son with normal vision," Brown said. The unit is simply a small box attached to the side of a switchboard. On top of the box is a perforated metal plate through which 10 "pins" can rise to form var ious Braille codes. All infor mation, which is normally seen by a sighted person op erating a switchboard, is translated by the Tele-Braille into code to be instantly read by a sightless attendant Important Feature An Important feature is the ability of the unit to1 give the information to the attendant in its proper sequence when several calls come into the board at once. The unit can be attached to the switchboard without mod ification of the board itself so that a sighted person can operate the board without reference to the Tele-Braille. Blind persons can be quick ly trained on the Tele-Braille since it is engineered to use Braille codes with which they are already familiar. All com plexities are handled by elec tronics within the unit, lcA- ing the attendant free to give her attention to good tele phone service.
