Many readers agreed with me. Many did not. Nobody was neutral. Here is an assortment of opinions: From Chicago: Dear Ann: Have you lost your mind? I'm consider, ing canceling my subscription un less you backtrack on your ad vice to "Bitter 15." His parents must be idiots. And so are you. -Mary 5. Cleveland: Here's a 21-gun sal- ute from a clergyman who has done a great deal of counseling' with teenage boys. Few column ists would have had the courage to take the unpopular position and applaud the parents. I have worked with delinquent boys for many years and not one was raised in a home where he had to go to school, hold down a job and account for his money. Your stand was sound and I commend you heartily for It. Rev. R. B. t Grand Forks, N.D.: If the par ents of "Bitter 15" bought h i m that hi-fi set. he wants so badly when would he play it? In his sleep? Mrs. L. J. Toledo: You said the teenagers were going to hate you for stick ing up for the boy's parents. Well, you're right. They do. Why should teenagers have to buy their own clothes? What are parents for anyway? T. J. favorite line is "Why do I have 'Blt-lo do this? I'm not hired help." Louisville: You came through) like a Kentucky thoroughbred with your reply to "Bitter 15."

Did you say the parents were rais ing a wonderful boy? It sounds to me as if the boy is raising himself. What are they doing be sides letting him live in the house and take his meals with them? MAD San Jose: You're probably plen ty busy ducking bricks because of your answer to Bitter 15. Well honey, here's a rose from San Jose. Any boy who can sit down and account for $566.80 of the $623.60 he earned for the year is sure to be one whale of a success. The boy may feel his folks are hard on him now, but he'll thank them laler. CHEERING Marshalllown, Iowa: Your reply to "Bitter 15" was shocking.

Progress Big School Need SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The people who run the nation's schools were told today they still have much to learn about tho products they are dealing with children, education, and the proc oss of learning. Dr. L, D. Haskew, vjee chan cellor of the Univorsity of Texas, said tlie schools must search for new ways to foster and encourage variation. The process involved in learn ing to read English by a 6-year- old from a Spanish-speaking home, he said, "is sharply dif ferent from that involved when the learner is the son of a college professor of American literature." Haskew told tlie American As sociation of School Administra tors that "the pressures toward uniformity are great. But uni formity Is an unfriendly host to the process of learning." All loo ollen, he said, "we administrators sacrifice real ef ficiency in the learning process to pacify fellow-Rotariens who hear that we are not teaching tlie alphabet any more, or that we let pupils get all the way through first grade without reading classic fairy talcs too grisly for even television to use." Haskew said the schools should use every available facility, hu man and electronic, to improve education. FISHING BOAT OVERTURNS YOKOHAMA.

(AP)-James Leonard Hanborry's distaste for liquor led him to volunteer fur Dr. Walter Reed's Cuban experi ments in 1901 which led to dis covery that yellow fever was transmitted by mosquitoes. Hanberry, last survivor of the 29 soldiers who volunteered and helped wipe out yellow fever epi demics, died in the Veterans Hus pital here Sunday at the age ot 80. The Spanish-American War vet. eran said in an interview two years ago that he didn't drink and "MaJ. Reed (Walter Reed, the famous Army doctor) told us that booze and yellow fever don't mix. Many of the other fellows! indulged now and then, so I fig ured I'd be better off than they would." Hanberry and the others sub mitted to bites from mosquitoes that had bitten yellow fever pa tients. They contracted the dis ease but survived. In 1929, Congress awarded a special medal to Hanberry and tne otner volunteers. Hanberry was a native of Den mark, S.C, where he was a po lice officer after the wiir, About 20 years ago lip' moved to Orangesburg, S.C, where fu neral services were arranged for today. ' ' ers displaced by new production techniques is a problem of major proportions Mcany, noting that the work force climbed by an average (20,000 annually in the past five years, wondered how. if job: couldn't be found for all of them, could the much greater influx of new workers be put to woiX; during the coming decade. "Maybe the answer is the short er work week. I don't know,' Mcany commented. "All I know is that we have a new adminis tration in Washington with fresh ideas and I hope it can solve this situation Mcany went on to say that there is something "basically wrong when great American industries can work at less than half their capacity and still earn a hand some profit. Goldberg was due to confer to day at a closed session of the AFL-CIO Executive Council. Tho labor secretary told news men on his arrival here that Con gress is speeding up its procedure to push Kennedy's proposals ahead. He said he hoped Kenne dy s first major goal will pass the House this week a proposal for $1 billion extra unemployment compensation aid. Goldberg said he was very en couraged with the way Congress us handling Kennedy s proposals and felt that legislators of both political parties shore "a sense of urgency" in spurring economic recovery.

Spending By Government Shows Tremendous Gain NEW YORK (UPI) - The cost of governing is rising even faster than the cost of living. Tax Foundation, Inc., a private tax study group, reported Sun day that federal, state and local government spending more than doubled between 1950 and 1960. Ten years ago, governmental pending totaled $70,334 billion. Last year, the figure was $153 billion. And in fiscal 1961, it will be almost $161 billion, the found ation said in its 11th biennial pub lication, "Facts and Figures on Government Finance, 1960-61." The federal government laid out 63 per cent of the total, Tax Foundation said. If legislators give in to cur rent pressures for huge spending increases at all levels of govern ment, the resulting tax and ex-! penditure totals will dwarf even the startling figures in this book," said Robert W. French, Tax Foundation president. The book, which covers tax rates, revenues, expenditures and debt at all levels of government, jyi kfc 2-37 e iMt , uu.
