education Bill
NearsAproval
WASHINGTON (UPI) - For
the second time this week, Con
gress was expected to approve
a large federal aid to education
bill.
The Senate was to vote on
legislation providing $1.5 billion
to expand federal aid to voca
tional schools, increase govern
ment loans to college students
and continue assistance to
schools crowded by children of
federal workers and servicemen.
The House earlier this week
approved compromise vocation
al aid bill, and finished work on
a group of education and train-
. ing measures that included ap
proval of a 527 million bill to
expand and extend the life of
the 1962 manpower training
program. The House retraining
bill would have to be meshed
with differing Senate legislation
on the same subject.
The Senate vocational meas
ure carried authority to in
crease federal aid for job train'
ing schools from the present
yearly level of $58 million to
nearly $300 million in four
years. ,
It would provide $304 million
In new money to continue oper
ation of the 1958 National De
fense Education Act for an ex
tra year through June 30, 1965.
The third provision would ex
tend, until June 30, 1965, at a
cost of $527 million, expiring
portions ol the so-called "im
pacted areas" elementary and
secondary school aid program
lor areas with big federal in-stallations.

MIAMI (UPI) If the fed
eral government ends its $2.5
million monthly relief aid pro
gram to some 53,000 Cuban ref
ugees here next year, "the re
sult will be chaos in Miami,"
some exiles predicted today.
Others, acknowledging the
Johnson administ ration's
"right" to economize, said they
are asking for "arms and the
right to fight Fidel Castro, not
relief checks.
There was mixed reaction to
apparent plans for an end to
the relief navments in 1964.
Physically handicapped exiles,
and those who are sick or aged
would be exempted.
But John F. Thomas, director
In Washington of the U.S. Cu
ban relief program, told a news
conference that all eligible ref
ugees who refuse to accept set
tlement to other cities will be
dropped from the Miami relief
rolls.
He did not specify an exact
date for the cutoff but said all
job resettlement inverviews are
expected to De completed ny
next March 31. Thomas said the
move is "not connected" with
President Johnson's economy
drive.
Although more than 71,000 re
fuges have been resettled from
Miami since 1961, this city con
tinues to be the hub of exile ac
tivity with perhaps as many as
150,000 Cubans residing here.

Child Beaters
Conference Topic
PORTLAND (UPI) - Three
doctors and a deputy district at
torney told of difficulties in
bringing child beaters to justice
Wednesday in the closing ses
sion of a three-day conference
of state health officers.
Desmond C. Connall, a Mult
nomah County chief deputy dis
trict attorney, urged doctors to
keep better records of injures,
to be more suspicious of child
injury reports and to take color
slides of any suspicious injuries.
He said there are seldom wit
nesses to child beatings and the
injuries often are similar to
those suffered in falls down
Dr. Richard W. Olmstead,
chiarman of the department of
pediatrics at the University of
Oregon Medical School, said
most child-beating cases occur
where t h e parents are im
mature, and he suggested that
doctors consider the background
of the parents when evaluating
injury reports.

were alien able to speak and
understand a foreign language.
The public schools rarely
achieved similar results even
after several years of courses.
Of course the armed forces
program was highly concentrat
ed and involved many more
hours per week than the normal
public school program. An addi
tional major difference was the
method of teaching. The armed
forces used a conversational ap
proach. The student actually
lived the language. This is com
parable to the traveler in a
foreign country who picks up
the language very quickly due
to necessity and constant ex
posure. The public schools used
a reading and grammar ap
proach. Identifies Sounds
The logic of the conversation
al approach is based on the
way a child in the United States
learns English. He learned to
imitate sound which he hears
and then identifies these sounds
with objects and meaning. He
is later taught reading and
grammar. It is also true that a
real master of a language must
learn to think in that language.
He cannot understand its real
meaning if he must constantly
translate it into his mother
tongue.
In line with these facts, it is
difficult to master a language
when a student is only exposed
to it during a single period in
the school day. He really needs
additional exposure and prac
tice. What are the implications of
teaching a foreign language in
the elementary school? There is
no doubt that young children
can learn a second language. It
has been accomplished in many
other nations. As an example,
Canada teaches both French
and English in the elementary
schools. Elementary children
tend to have an aptitude for
imitating sounds and also are
less self conscious than older
children and adults. Opinions
differ as to the best grade level
to start a program, but the feel
ing tends towards the primary
grades.
Accepted Method
Based upon the armed forces
experience, the conversational
method is generally accepted. It
is also recommended that short
daily periods are more effective
than long and less frequent ses
sions. A major question to answer
is which language should be al-( countries are ncarbv Soaiish I The national need for under-
fered. This really depends upon might be appropriate. Similarly, standing Russia makes Russian
the community. In the southern in the states near Canada, valuable. The choice depends
states where Spanish speaking French may be most useful, upon local circumstances.

bing dirty pots, pans and plates.
He'll see that you should spend
these hours on more worthwhile
family activities.
Remind him, too, that for the
sake of good health, the entire
family can profit from a dish
washer in the kitchen. Dishes
and utensils come from an ELEC
TRIC DISHWASHER sterilized

ful bacteria . . . scalded in water
hotter than the hands can touch.
This should cinch it. Try it and see. Find on
