Belter Education Urged By Wickard Losing Classroom Battle To Russia - NASHVILLE. Ind. (INS) — A warning that the United States is losing the battle of the classroom to the Russians was voiced by Claude R. Wickard. former U. S. secretary of agriculture and exrural electrification adminiatrUpr. Wickard is unopposed candidate for Democratic nomination as U.S. senator from Indiana, and is expected to oppose the incumbent, Senator Homer Capehart, in a fight for that job next November. Wickard told a Brown county Democratic rally at Nashville Tuesday night: “We have felt that we were superior to the Russians in our industrial capacity and our natural resources. We have recognized that Russia has the greater population but we have regarded them as inferior in education and training. There is evidence that we are fast losing supremacy in that field, at least from the standpoint of technical training.” Wickard declared: “We can’t afford to lose the supremacy of the classroom any more than we can supremacy on the diplomatic or military plane ... We are not going to meet the classroom challenge of Russia If we consider as a local matter or even a state matter.” The former agricultural chief and REA head proposed that the resources of national, state and local units should be pooled, and added: "That doesn’t mean domination by the federal government. There must be a proper balance between local automony and state and national contribution to achieve the common objective —a better education for every American child.” Six Men Rescued By Coast Guard 'Copter ST.
