Benson went before a House corrmittee today for a hearing that already has been termed "a waste of time. Benson's appearance before the House Agriculture Committee to defend the administration's farm bill was the highlight of teduced activity on Capitol Hill. Both the House and Senate were in lecess with many congressmen back home preparing for local Lincoln day speeches. Benson set out to persuade the committee that farmers would be better off if farm price supports were lowered as President Eisen hower requested in his recent message to Congress. But Rep. W. R. Poage .D-Tex.) was one of a number of key Dem ocratic mcmDers wno warned in advance of Benson's appearance that the committee won't approve any legislation to reduce farm price props. "The hearing is really a waste of time," Poage commented, "but I guess it's just one o! those rituals we have to go thiough every year. Poage said he expected the Eenate to take the lead later this year in putting together a new Democratic-sponsored farm pro gram. Other congressional news: Rackets: Chairman John L. McClellan said the Senate Rackets Committee has found evidence of juke box racketeering in virtually every area in the nation. The Ar kansas Democrat said hearings starting today would show that tome labor unions "have been created for the sole purpose of acting as an entorcement arm for gangsters and trade associa tions in the coin machine industry. Taxes: A Republican tax writer charged that a bipartisan con gressional drive to provide tax relief for self-employed persons would discriminate against mil- I lions of wape earners, hep. John Church Chiefs Hold Conclave W. Byrnes iR-Wis.) also protested that the tax relief bill approved Monday by the House Ways & Means Committee would wipe out any hope of balancing the budget in the next fiscal year. The bill, designed to help self-employed persons save for retirement by deferring taxes until age 70 on in come placed in retirement funds. would cost the Treasury an esti mated 365 million dollars a year in revenue. Airports: Federal Aviation Ad ministrator E. R. Quesada told the House Commerce Committee that 24 of the nation's civilian air ports are equipped to handle jet planes. He said the number should rise to 78 jet airports in four years. The committee held hear ings on airport aid bills, which Quesada said should not include any aid for "money-makirg ter minal buildings. Insurance Taxes: The house Ways Si Means Committee gave final approval to a bill which would levy about 240 million dol lars -a year in extra income taxes the insurance industry. The new taxing formula would require the industry to pay an estimated 540 million dollars in taxes on 1958 income.' The industry would pay taxes on between 20 and 30 per cent of its investment income and about half its underwriting proms. Oranges: The Senate pa::ed a bill permitting the use of artificial coloring to make oranges orange. The measure grew out of a ruling by the Food & Drug Administra tion that a coal-tar color used for many years to tint orange skins was potentially harmful when con sumed. A new coloring material with a lower toxicity level was developed to replace the oid color. Satellite: Maj. Gen. William W. Dick Jr., Army special weapons chief, told the House Space Com mittee that the Army plans to put a weather satellite into orbit be fore the end of this year.

PHILADELPHIA AV - The traditional methods of teaching foreign languages must be junked and an entirely new approach adopted. That is the gist of a set ol rec ommendations being made to more than 5,000 junior and senior high school principals. They are expected to have far reaching ef fects in the public schools. The recommendations came from the Committee on Curri culum Planning and Development of the National Assn. of Second ary School Principals. The asso ciation is in contention here. What we need," the committee said, "is a complete change ol emphasis from learning about the language to learning the language itself." To bring this about, it urged that foreign language programs be made available to call capable and interested students, starting in the seventh grade if possible. The study of one language would continue for a minimum of four years; six if possible. The courses would be elective, not required. Emphasis at the start would be on learning to converse in t h e language. Grammar, direct trans lation and reading and writing the language would follow later. Grammar and the ability to read will come easily and naturally if adequate time has fust been spent in learning how to hear and speak the language, the committee said. idpe recordings, linns, suues. records, and foreign language newspapers and magazines should lie used to the fullest extent, the committee said. The foreign tan nage should be the language of the classroom at least 90 per cent of the time and "above all. the loreign language must not be mixed with English." Principals who heard the plan outlined Monday were generally enthusiastic, but they had two bothersome questions: "Where are we going to get the teachers'1 And how are we going to fit this intc an already crowded schedule what goes out if this comes in?" The teacher supply is likely to be the single biggest obstacle. To I make the program effective na-l tionwide, many more teachers: must be trained and many of' those not teaching will have to bej re-trained. I The committee said It makes no great difference what foreign lan guage is taught, just so it's taught long enough and effectively enough to give the student a real working knowledge of it.
