Bv LOUIS CASSELS
Washington (UPU In hi
budget message to Congress
earlv this year, President Ken-
F- t-fflWijl nedy said tnai

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.

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.

Small Worlds

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.

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

"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
