' ' "?" r 7 MONDAY. APRIL 30. 19E2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Most of Kennedy's Education Proposals Waiting Action by Congress Editot'i note: A wide va riety of legislative propot all for strengthening Amer ica'! aducational syittm ara before Congrati. The fol lowing dispatch reporti en their preterit itatui and outlook. Bv LOUIS CASSELS Washington (UPU In hi budget message to Congress earlv this year, President Ken- F- t-fflWijl nedy said tnai r s more and bet i I . i wj fr , icr bciiuuib arc B ! h K Ii.ji. u. I II uiBucti.auK to the preser vition of A m e r i e a's free society, He later sub mitted half a dozen legisla tive proposals Ctueli for strengthening the educa tional aystem at every level from kindergarten through college, and in several special fields such as medical educa tion, teacher training, and adult illiteracy. With the congressional ses sion at the halfway mark, one education bill has been passed and tent to the White House, It authorizes $32 million In federal grants over the next five years to encourage devei, npment of educational televi (ion ttations. The other bills are still in various stages of considers tion. Some seem to have i good to excellent chance of enactment. The outlook for others ranges from dark to - dismal. Here is an llem-by-Ilem re port on the current itatui of the major proposals: Colleges It n o w appears probable that Congress will enact legis lation providing about $500 a year for the next three years to help public and private col leges build new classrooms, dormitories and laboratories. The big question Is whether the bill also will provide schol arships for needy and talent ed students. Both House and Senate have passed higher education aid bills. The Senate version, re flecting the administration's requests, 1 n c 1 u d e I 212,900 four-year scholarships. The House did not vote any scholarships. A deal has now been mide under which the bill will go to a conference committee soon. The House conferees will refuse to go along with the Senate scholarship provi sion, and will report back to the House for "instructions" on this issue. This will give the entire House a chance to vote on the question of schol arships. On the basis of its past record, the House Is like ly to vote no. Another difference which will have to be Ironed out in conference concerns the way in which the federal aid would be extended. The House has voted for $900 million in out right grants and $600 million in loans; the Senate for $1,5 I billion in loans only. I Medical Education The House Commerce com mittee has approved legisla tion under which the federal government would expend about $1 billion over the next 10 years to expand facilities for training doctors and den tists. It also provides for low interest loans to students. This bill is before the House Rules committee, and the word is that it will be cleared for floor actions after the col lege aid bill is completed, per haps in May. The expectation on Capitol Hill is that it will be passed by the House and Senate before adjournment. President Kennedy keeps urging Congress to act on his proposal to pump $2.1 billion in federal aid into public school systems for classroom construction and teachers' sal aries. But his chances of get ting it passed this year are pretty close to zero. To law makers who face an election this fall, the bill bears the fatal odor of religious contro versy, growing out of Roman Catholic demands that paro chial schools share in the fed eral aid funds. A House education subcom mittee has been considering a substitute under which fed eral grants totalling about $500 million a year would be allocated among the states, leaving each state to decide for itself whether to pass any of the aid along to parochial schools. There is no likelihood of action this year on t h e substitute measure, introduced by Rep. Cleveland Bailey (D W.Va.). Teacher Training Pending in the House Edu cation committee, with uncer tain prospects, is a five-year, $748 million bill to improve the quality of teaching in pub lic elementary and high schools. Grants would be pro vided to permit 2,500 teachers annually to go back to college for a year's advanced study. Other funds would set up sum mer school institutes for teach ers, and underwrite "special projects" for improving teach ing standards. For reasons which have not been made clear, some southern congress men suspect that this program might somehow be used as a lever to speed desegregation of schools. Adult Education The House Education com mittee has approved President Kennedy proposal to give the states $50 million over five years to combat adult illiteracy. There are about 8 million Americans over the age of 25 who have not gone beyond the fifth grade in school. This bill is now in the House Rules committee, await ing a clearance for floor ac tion which it may never get. Migrant Children The Senate has passed, and the administration has endors ed, a $22 million program to help states provide better schooling for the children of migrant farm workers who follow the crops from sea son to season, rarely remain ing in one community long enough for their children to obtain a minimum education. This bill awaits action by the House Education committee. Its prospects are uncertain. Handicapped Children A House education subcom mittee is working on legisla tion to provide federal aid for i the training of special teach ers for blind, deaf, crippled, aphasic and other handicap ped children who cannot at tend regular schools. This j measure is expected to have j a wide bipartisan appeal, and sponsors are confident of its enactment. (X) VOTE for HENRY F. PADGHAM Democratic Candidate for STATE SENATOR Pd. Pol. Adv. by H. Padgham 1309 Court, Medford Teaching Equipment For SOC Authorized Ashland Purchase of $37, 140 worth of science leaching equipment for Southern Ore gon college was authorized at a recent state board of higher education meeting in Port land, President Elmo N. Ste venson has announced. Stevenson explained that the equipment would be pur chased during the next two years through the matching fund of the National Science Foundation which would pro vide half of the total. The balance would be from SOC Institutional fundi and a budget addition granted by the board. Additional agenda items re lating to SOC involved a land easement of .05 acre through the college-owned Britt estate which was purchased by the city of Jacksonville for $50 and the possible appointment of Vincent Aredson, Ashland architect, to develop a long range campus plan indicating land and building needs for the next 10 years. Funds for the service would be provid ed from the board'i unrestrict ed unappropriated funds, Dr. Stevenson said. As previously reported, dis cussion of a new physical ed ucation building for Southern Oregon college was postponed until the board's June meeting.

OREGON MONDAY, APRIL 30, 1962 Small Worlds Around Us By UYNN M. W ATKINS IReeisttr and Tribune Syndic 19621 You Need No Shelter For This Kind of Fallout ; The mention of this type of fallout need cause no con cern; it goes on without in terruption; has continued ever since there were trees to flower, or insects to visit them, but it is a "fallout"; about the sweetest of all. It has never hurt anyone, but has caused a little an noyance to a few folks who have objected to it on their automobiles, or sidewalks. This "fallout" Is a residue, a sticky, colorless sort of sweet I material, ana usually present wherever there is an abun- I dance of busy liitle insects of the right kind, present in I trees or bushes. More likely it will be des-1 criDea as a rain oi nu-.ivy dew," and honeydew comes from the bodies of sap-suck ing insects. The individual maker of honeydew is a tiny I insect about the shape of, but i somewhat smaller than a grain of wheat. j Cannot Be Seen I The "fallout" exuded from its body is so small it can not be seen, about the size of one individual fog-droplet, of which it would take many thousands to make a spot of fog the size of an aspirin ' tablet. To create the "fallout" ne-1 cessary to make a sidewalk j sticky, or to spread a film of I gooey sweetness on an auto- j mobile hood, or top, would j require the work of thous-l ands of tiny creatures, all pumping sap into their tiny bodies, and each, in turn, exuding, from their little humped backs, a microscopic bit of honeydew; each minute droplet added to millions of others that, in the aggregate can make a mist of sweetness that falls like a very gentle "rain." Trees 'Sweat' And, too, there are some varieties of trees that have a peculiar characteristic: in very hot weather they appear to "sweat," droplets of sweet material exude from the leaves in the form of tiny droplets. This material "rains" down in considerable vol ume, enough in many instan ces to cause a sidewalk, di rectly under the branches, to become actually sticky with sweetness. Another equally harmless "fallout," for which no shel ter is needed, is the "fallout" of plant-pollen. At times ev ery year this "fallout" of pol len is so heavy as to be visi ble as a yellowish colored film on clotheslines, park benches, building roofs, and sidewalks. Nature, at times, becomes extravagant with this preci ous plant material by produc ing much more than is ever needed; she insures her plan of survival by this "yellow fallout," much of which seems wasteful, but it continues sea son after season but all for a purpose. ; Candidates To Speak At Demos Meeting J Robert W. Straub, Eugene. ; a candidate for congress from the Fourth District, will speak j Tuesday, May 1, at the month I ly meeting of the Jackson County Democratic Central committee. The meeting will be held at 8 p.m. in the Labor temple. 24' i South Grape it., Med ford. Larry Shcehan will give a report on the Roosevelt Me morial dinner and precinct chairmen will be briefed on their duties for the coming election. ITHE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA California Called "Hot Spot" Of Communism by Doyle The House Subcommittee on Un American Activities held four days of hearings in Los Angeles against a back drop of demonstrations by persons on the scene and across the nation. The House group, headed by Rep. Clyde Doyle (D-Calif.) held its hearings on the tight ly guarded fifth floor of the federal building. It heard testimony from approximate ly 50 witnesses on allegec' communist activity in the area. Doyle, at one point in the hearings said California is at tracting Communists "in dan gcrous numbers" because of its many defense industries During a recess, he predicted the general public would be "shocked and amazed" when a report is made on the Los Angeles probe about a month LI ft o- t& j 4. f -s-isss.

"You're going to have to Tace the fact that Los Angeles . . . and the whole state of California is increasingly a hot spot of Communism with its many defense industries," he said. Outside the hearings, peace ful picketing was conducted by the Fair Play for Cuba committee, as well as two oth er groups - a "reception com mittee" drawn together by students and others opposed to the house group, and the Citizens Committee to Pre serve American Freedom, cit ed by the house unit as a Communist front. Elsewhere, there were these developments: Wife Swapping: San Ber nardino police disclosed dis covery of a "wife-swapping" ring, centered locally, but pos sibly with state-wide interests. Police initially arrested two couples, allegedly members of a "friendship club." A fifth person was booked later in the week, and investigations also were being conducted in San Francisco. rnp of the Dersons arrested in San Bernardino was Har vey Leonard Braswell, 65, of Rialto, an ordained minister once convicted of statutory rape. Also booked were Bras well's wife, Sarah E., 60, and Steve F. Fercnce, 42, and his wife, Helen Louise, 38. Book ed later was Donald Le Roy Watson, 31, a barber. The ring was believed in have operated for two or three years. Collision: Nine Dersons - six of them members of the same family returning from an Easter vacation - wcra killed in a head-on accident nnui- Rrnwlnv. Spven of the dead were riding in a station wagon driven by Jacob Unas, 35, Indio, Calif. Besides Urias, killed were Urias' wife, Vic toria, 30, and their children, Benjamin, 4, Rosavella, 8, Dolores, 7, and Raymundo, 13 months,- and another man, Fredcrico Gnllego Medina, 20. Killed in the other vehicle Pnlnmn. and Tomaa Novello Gonzalez, 29, both of Thermal. Calilornia mgnway patrolmen said the Palomo car was traveling bdoui iu ihh" when it apparently jumpea across the center line and hit the station wagon. Greyhound: Negotiators for Western Greyhound lines and some 5,000 drivers reached agreement on a new two-year contract - Just six hours be fore a scheduled strike in 11 western states. The new con tract was to be retroactive to March 1 and included wage increases, a cost of living es calator clause, and improve ments In vacations, health and welfare, plus other fringe hnnpfits. A walkout would have affected an estimated 100,000 passengers using Greyhound service daily over the line's 16,000-mile system In 11 western states. Hagerty: Charles J. Hager- lv fnrmpr asgislnnt California Secretary of State and an ex pert on California election matters, died in Sacramento of cancer. He was 72. Hagerty began working for the state in 1012 as a clerk under then Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan. Marlllmai The federal cov ernmcnt renewed efforts to settle a west coast maritime dispute which resulted In a 26-dny strike and use of the Taft-Hartley Act by President Kennedy. Robert Moore, deputy director of the U.S. Mediation service, talked sep arately wun representatives of the Pacific Martlme asso ciation and three unions for seamen, firemen and cooks and stewards. Union and PMA officials have been attempting tn neantiate a new three-vear contract since last fall. Talks broke off March 18 and the three unions went on atrkie. Shelters: Trie San Francisco Civil Defense office didn't overlook a possibility. In a survey of 58 potential public fallout shelters, Civil Defense Director A. G. Cook listed the lion's lair at the city zoo. Gas Blamed for Explosion, Fire Portland - (UPU - Escaping gas was blamed today for an explosion and fire that de molished a home and serious ly burned an elderly Japanese couple here Saturday night. Hospitalized were Harry Uycsugi, 83, and his wife, Chyio, 80. Th explosion blew out one wall of the 2Vi atory frame home. Damage from the blast and fire was set at $12,000. A fire investigator aald a length of pipe sticking out into a basement fruit closet had been removed, opened up a stopped-off gas pipe and letting gas seep through the house. He said the pipe prob able was opened up unknow ingly, since gas had not been used in the house for many I yean,
