Legal Heirs May Small Group of Americans Is Bringing Better Life to Some
SEES COLORS Mrs. Patricia Stanley, Flint, Mich., says she
can "see" colors with her fingertips. And she has proved it to
doctors at Barnard College. Dr. Richard Wculz ot Barnard saici
Mrs. Stanley can identify different colors over and over while
blindfolded, when the odds against her on pure chance were
about 10,000 to one. Mrs. Stanley explains that a "light color
feels smoother and thinner while a dark color feels thicker,
heavier and rougher." Doctors say other cases such as this are
on record and may lead to advances for blind people. (UPI)
Coast, Geodetic Charts
Available To Public
BY JACK WOMSTON
United Press International
The U.S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey has just announced pub
lication of new editions oi
number of nautical charts,
bringing to mind that this little
publicized branch of the Federal
government is one of pleasure
boating's greatest aids.
Anyone finding himself in
strange waters is certain to
find great comfort in the Sur
vey's charts, which provide
depths and directions and warn
of dangerous waters.
In recent years, the Survey
has begun publishing small
craft charts which arc a boon
to the boatman whose space
aboard is limited. The charts
fold out in a bellows arrange
ment which makes for easy
handling but permits the same
scale in many instances as used
on the larger chnrts.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -From
the jungles of South Vict Nam
to the deserts of Jordan to the
bushland of Liberia, a small
group of dedicated Americans
is working to bring a better life
to the underprivileged.
For $0 a month, they live un
der primitive conditions in re
mote villages. They must be
willing and eager to help their
fellow man regardless of the
color of his skin, the God he
worships or the amount of
money in his pocket.
They should be college grad
uates and must be above re
proach morally, mentally and
physically.
Sounds like the Peace Corps?
Yes, but it's not. It is the In
ternational Voluntary Services
(IVS), a group organized the
year John F. Kennedy became a
senator. By the time the Peace
Corps came into being, IVS al
ready had eight years oi service
behind it.
IVS was founded as a non
profit organization in 1953 by a
group of people committed
to the idea that American youth
could contribute to internation
al understanding by helping the
less fortunate on a person - to
person basis.
Although IVS now appears to
be a miniature version of the
Peace Corps, it would be more
exact to describe the Peace
Corps as an enlarged copy of
the International Voluntary
Services.
IVS now has nearly 200 vol-, budget in fiscal 1963 was $59
unteers operating overseas, di
rected by four men with three
secretaries from five small of
fices in a converted residential
dwelling in downtown Washing
ton. Its annual budget is rough
ly $1 million.
The 6,500 Peace Corps volun
teers overseas have their ex
panding headquarters on three
floors of a large Washington of
fice building. The Peace Corps
New License Plates
To Appear on Jan. 1
SALEM (UPI) Three letter,
three number license plates,
with a larger "Oregon," but
without the phrase "Pacific
Wonderland," will begin appear
ing on Oregon autos Jan. 1.
But not everyone will have
new style plates until 1968, be
cause of a planned slow
changeover to the new style.
Color of the new plates will
be gold letters on a blue back
ground, (he same as at present.
The new plates will be similar
in appearance to the present
three letter, three number
plates now in use in California
and Washington.
The department will not issue
special letter combinations on
request to Ihe general public.
The new license series will start
with AAA 001. A few three let
ter combinations will not be
used for obvious reasons.
million and' Congress has just
authorized $102 million for fis
cal 1964.
IVS operates primarily in na
tions in which the Peace
Corps does not have volunteers,
although in a few instances it
cooperates with the Corps.
It currently has 70 volunteers
in South Viet Nam, 25 in Cam
bodia, 52 in Laos, 10 in Algeria,
30 in Liberia and a total of
seven in Jordan, Syria and Leb
anon working at Arab refugee
centers. In the past it also has
had short term projects in
Ghana, Egypt, Iraq and Nepal.
Rural Recruits
Because IVS concentrates on
agricultural projects, the great
er share of its recruits come
from rural areas. Because the
oganization is supported by
various churches, volunteers
usually have strong religious
backgrounds. Their average age
range is 25 to 35. Men outnum
ber women five to one. They
volunteer for two years of
service.
It costs IVS about $5,000 per
person per year, including trans
portation, living costs, the $80
monthly pay and all adminis
trative costs for the entire or
ganization. Most projects are financed un
der contract with the U. S.
Government's Agency for Inter
national Development (AID).
IVS volunteers supplement at
the village level the technical
assistance given by AID at the
national level.
They attempt to teacb the vil
lagers everything from how to
build roads to how to get chick
ens to lay more eggs.
Despite the strong church
overtones of IVS, officials em
phasize the volunteers are not
missionaries.
"We want people with church
backgrounds and religious mo
tivations but not people interest
ed primarily in going out to
spread the word of God," For
don Brockmueller, IVS program
director, told UPI.
There is no missionary work
although individual volunteers
may have 'the "missionary
spirit," he said. If a worker's
discovered proselytizing," Brock
mueller said, he would be sent
home. No person has yet been
returned home for this reason.
Brockmueller gave three basic
differences between IVS and the
Peaec Corps. IVS is not a di
rect government agency and
therefore has a "certain
amount of flexibility." IVS does
not give its recruits long peri
ods of training in the United
States, preferring on - the - job
training. IVS will work with
any other agency in the field,
be it AID, the Asia Foundation,
CARE, Peace Corps or mission
aries. Volunteers are not jealous
over the large amount of pub
licity given the Peace Corps,
Brockmueller said.
"In most cases," he said,
"it is to the contrary. There is
a certain satisfaction in doing
something well without getting
publicity. Actually, too much
publicity is hard on the pro
gram, particularly if it is in the
field."
Will the Peace Corps even
tually force IVS out of business?
No, said Brockmueller. "I think
we will continue to grow very
slowly. Wc might add a team
or so a year. But we have our
hands full supporting the peo
ple we have now."
When the Peace Corps was
founded, the IVS board of direc
tors offered all the help and gui
dance it could, Brockmueller
said.
"But at the same time," he
said, "they continued to believe
there is a place for IVS in do
ing a quality job in a few coun
tries and to continue serving as
a guide and conscience to other
agencies."
tionally contain such helpful in

yards and supply houses in the
area Ihey cover. They also in
clude illustrations of whistle
and fog signals, storm warning
signals, rules of the road, and
other helpful information.
The Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey was the first technical bu
reau in the Federal govern
ment, having been set up by a
1807 law which authorized
survey of the coast. j
The cost of conducting all the i
soundings and other laborious
work necessary to compling
the charts is borne by the gov
ernment. In making those
churls available to Ihe boating
public, the sale price now as
it whs 1MI years aco is onlv
as high as necessary to cover
paper and printing costs. This
usually ranges between $1 and
$2, sometimes less, depending
on the size of the chart.
