Solons Mull
Long Speech
FORT WORTH, Tex. (API
Louisiana Gov. Earl K. Long.
resting from his political strug
gles at home, awaited today
possible call to address the Texas
Legislature.
Long, who has been running for
re-election and fighting over voter
laws and legislation concerning
commitments to mental hospitals,
said he was willing to address
the Texas Legislature if it wants
him.
The Legislature, however, is
struggling to pass a vital spend
ing and tax hill before the end
of a second speciM session Thurs
day. The physically ailing 63-year-old
governor, who has been in and out
of three mental hospitals in two
months, topped off a day of se
clusion in his hotel suite by visit
ing a quarter-horse ranqh Sunday
night.
Earlier ho issued a statement
apologizing to the press for his
actions when he arrived by plane
in Texas Saturday night. The gov
ernor, irked by photographers and
newsmen, draped a pillow slip
over his face and cursed attempts
to photograph or interview him.
Louisiana State Sen. B. B. Ray
burn, Long's key legislative aide,
said the governor would take a
sightseeing trip today and hold a
press conference.
Long has said he will stay in
Fort Worth until Wednesday be
fore continuing a vacation trip to
the West Coast and Canada, just
in case the Texas Legislature
would like him to: make an ad
dress, f
One of the first things he did on
arriving here was to place calls
to Austin to inform officials he
was available.
Whether he gels an invitation to
address the Legislature, now em
broiled in efforts to pass a tax
and spending bill in the waning
moments of a second special ses
sion, was problematical.
Gov. Price Daniel said it was
up to the Legislature.
English teachers are just as
enthusiastic. Thejfearful chore of
correcting up to 200 themes for
all her classes, a job estimated
to take 33 hours, has been lighten
ed. '
More writing can be assigned,
which means writing is improved.
"You can't learn to write with
out writing," says Henry Chaun
cey, president of the Educational
Testing Service of Princeton.
The idea of using so-called "lay
leaders" to help English teachers
popped into Chauncey's head sev
eral years ago. But he takes no
credit for it.
"I had the original idea but
ideas are a dime a dozen." he
says. "The important Ihing is the
way they're carried out. So the
credit should go to Paul Diode-
rich for having conducted the pro
gram and the fund for the ad
vancement of education for spon
soring it."
Diedcrich is on the staff of ETS,
a nonprofit corporation which con
ducts educational research and
tests for schools, colleges, the gov
ernment and the professions.
The Fund for the Advancement
of Education provided $150,000 to
develop the program. And Diede-
rich tried it out first during the
1957-58 school year at New Bruns
wick High School and nearby
Bound Brook High School.
A women's page story in the
New Brunswick Daily Home News
announced the experiment.
A total of 110 women applied
in person in New Brunswick and
67 more in Bound Brook. Others
telephoned. Only six readers, plus
six substitutes, were to be chosen
in New Brunswick.
The field was narrowed with the
help of ETS and its testing ex
perience. The applicants got a
verbal aptitude lest, paper-grading
test, paper-correction test and
wrote a shorl paper on a choice
of topics. The 20 who stood high
est were interviewed.
New Brunswick High has a total
enrollment of 1,575. About 16 Eng
lish teachers were assigned lay
readers for some, but not all, of
their classes. Between 500 and 525
students in grades 10 through 12
thus had the benefit of lay read
ers. Diederick says homework writ
ing assignments in many schools
are down to four or five a year.
The teachers can't handle the
grading of any more.
Diederick says no feature of the
plan is copyrighted and ETS will
make test materials available to
any other high schools which care
to launch such a program.

WASHINGTON (AP) Every
day, unnoticed by the general pub
lic, hundreds of shipments of high
ly explosive and inflammable prod
ucts go across the country by
railroad, truck and water car
riers. Surrounded by the most . elabo
rate set of' safety rules applied
to any freight item, they reach
distant destinations in huge vol
ume without incident.
But every now and then some
thing goes wrong and holocaust
results. It has happened four
times in the last eight months.
Forty five persons were killed,
I more than 250 injured.
1 Congress may he asked to pro
vide lighter safety regulations.
Nearly always, detailed investi
gation discloses human failure, or
a combination of unforeseen cir

By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Foreign News Analyst
Frol Romanovich Koziov can
turn the results of his two-weeR
tour of the United States to a use
ful purpose. He is now in a posi
tion to ' advise his boss, Soviet
Premier Nikila Khrushchev
against any fatal miscalculation
regarding the strength and inten
tions of this country.
It was the Soviet first deputy
premier s first venture in his
totally indoctrinated adult life out
side the Communist orbit. It would
have been difficult for him not to
be impressed by what he saw in
the United States.
To a news conference on the
eve of his departure lor Moscow
he insisted his trip did not change
his mind about one thing: that
the U n i t e d Slates someday will
live under a Soviet-like system.
But Khrushchev will be interested
in his notions about the timetable
for this.
It is likely Khrushchev will want
as factual a report as possible
lo compare it with the findings of
First Deputy Premier A. 1. Miko-
yan, who made the same trip
early this year. Between the two
reports Khrushchev may believe
he can get an idea o( what sort
of resistance the U.S. government
and public might put up to further
Communist expansion.
The two men probably will dif
fer in interpretation "of the things
they have seen. Mikoyan is an old
Bolshevik revolutionary with
highly cynical outlook toward
things as they seem to be. Koziov
is a born bureaucrat, reprcsenta-
tive of the new generation of
Soviet functionaries who .know
nothing of revolution first hand.
He was only 8 years old when the
Bolsheviks seized power.
Because he was an old Bolshe
vik and one-lime confidante of
Stalin, because he has the look
ol a reckless Armenian bandit, be
cause he is a man of colorful
personality, Mikoyan's visit arous
ed much more attention than that
of Koziov.
Koziov is a man without color,
and Ihe United States public ig
nored him.
Both Koziov and Mikoyan were
received by representatives of that
section of the United States public
they are dedicated to destroy: the
businessmen and industrialists.
These groups treated both polite
ly. Tp the Soviets it may have
seemed more than politeness
perhaps eagerness for the expand
ed Soviet-American- trade both
talked about so much. .
Despite all the talk, Mikoyan's
visit produced little slackening
of resistance in the United States
to Soviet-American trade. Khrush
chev will remember this if Koz
lov brings glowing reports of the
possibilities of doing business with
certain section of American
capitalism.
Koziov could not hide that he
was impressed by what he saw
in the United States. He saw vast
networks of .good roads. He saw
humming industry. He saw mass
housing and abundance of goods
on a scale which can only be a
dream for the Soviet Union for
many years to come.
He spoke little about these
things. But the other Soviets in
his party gave an indication of
the Soviet reaction.
Some of these insisted that the
Soviets were hampered in build
ing roads and housing because
the Soviet Union is so cold much
of the year. Others grudgingly
admitted that what they had seen
was impressive, but predicted
they, too, would have all these
things and more before long.
Koziov himself, after some ex-'
periences which must have been
disappointing to him, stopped ask-j
ing workers how much they
earned and whether they had their
own homes or automobiles. Too
many were doing altogether too
well and only grinned at him when
he solemnly wished them "a hap
pier life." The Soviets met capi
talists by the score, but if they
were looking lor the downtrodden
proleteriat. they were wholly un
successful.
U.S. Warned
By Expert
HONOLULU (AP) Wernher
Von Braun. Army missile expert.
says the United States "can fall
into a dangerous trap" in Ihe
missile race with Russia "if we
persist in looking back to see how
fast the other fellow is running.'
"It behooves us to run just as
fast as we can and let him worry
about keeping pace," Von Braun
told a meeting Thursday night ol
the Assn. of the United Stales
Army, an officer organization.
Von Braun said the United
States was developing a really big
booster rocket larger than "any
thing the Russians have shown
us." He said he was not so sure
the United States was behind the
Russians in space technology.
