Aid For Education Greatest U.S. Need Sen. Wayne Morse Speaks In Tokyo I TOKYO (UP> — Sen. Wayne Morse said today “the greatest foreign policy need of the United States during the next 50 years is federal aid to education." The Democratic member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said the United States cannot stay ahead of Russia in manpower. and that its only hope to remain ahead of Russia “is in brainpower.” Morse, chief American delegate to the recent commonwealth parliamentary conference in India, warned that Russian education on the high school and college level may well be of higher caliber than it is in the ILS. "I would hate to see an across-the-board test on all education be tween high school students in Russia and the United States," he said. Morse, a teacher himself for 21 years, said it is alarming to realize that “23 per cent of the high schools in the U.S. do not offer a course in chemistry or physics." He said Russia’s educational process of finding bright students - and providing them with a college education was superior to the U.S. Emphasis on mass education. Morse said Russia's launching of the first two satellites could “prove to be a great boon to the United States, because this gives us a chance to change our educational policy.” He predicted that during the next session of Congress, aid money would be voted for science programs in high schools and colleges, more money would be voted for school construction and more scholarships would be provided for worthy students. Raccoon Freed COLOMA, Mich — (IF — Ray Hampton met conservation officer Robert Vander Roest who arrested him for keeping a pet raccoon — still a wild animals on the state’s law books — without a permit.

Warn Labor Leaders Os Communist Line Senator Eastland Scores Attitude Washington (UP)-sen. James O. Eastland (D-Miss.) said today labor union leaders should not follow a “double standard” toward members who invoke the Fifth Amendment before congressional committees. Eastland, chairman of the Senate Internal Security subcommittee, said labor’s attitude should be the same toward those who use the Fifth Amendment in investigation of Communist activity as in investigations of union corruption. “We have seen many vigorous statements by heads of. AFL-CIO unions condemning the use of the Fifth Amendment in corruption investigations," he said. “Yet the Internal Security subcommittee has experienced the wide-spread recent use of the constitutional privilege against self incrimination by union members and officers to decline question on the Communist movement with no uniform reaction by responsible labor authorities.” Eastland said the Communist Party decided at its national convention last February ’ t’moeov back into the main stream of labor." He said there was a trend by dedicated Communists to leave “discredited red-dominated unions and to resume associations with more responsible labor organiza-

tions." He described this trend as “most significant" and said it was disturbing that unions seemed unaware of the new Communist line. Eastland said his subcommittee had heard several witnesses from the United Automobile Workers who invoked the Fifth Amendment. These witnesses were defended by the president of their local, he said, while other who testified freely was criticized. He said that attitude by union officials would handicap the subcommittee in its effort to get testimony about communism. Thoughtful FORTVILLE. Ind.

Intended Christmas Dinner Is Stolen RICHMOND — Charles Northrup found his intended Christmas dinner missing when he went to feed it Tuesday. He had been feeding two turkeys in a cage in back of his home. All he found was a few feathers. Eight-Year-Old Boy Spreads Yule Joy Cheerful Despite Operation On Eye WASHINGTON Iff) — Mike Strong spread a singular kind of Christmas cheer this year—for an 8-year-old. He found the courage to help someone else, even though he is about to have his right eye removed. The operation worried his parents. They didn't know how it would affect Mike—a tow-headed third grader who likes to play football and who shows a keen interest in science. Mike, who lives in suburban Silver Springs, Md., injured his eye in 1953 when he jabbed it with a pocket knife while cutting a. rope. Doctors thought they could save it with one operation. But scar tissue detached the retina, forcing the recent decision to remove it. The bad time came then. It was a tpugh one to swallow for an 8-year-old with a lifetime ahead of him. Mike’s parents knew he was scared. They waited to see how he would take it. Their answer came in a Christmas card written by Mike to someone he knew. It said: “I felt real bad when my mother and daddy told me what happened to you. I know everything will be all right because my grandfather has an artificial eye and he can do everything. "I already have had an eye operation and soon I am going to have one eye taken out.” The card was addressed to free lance sportswriter Carroll Hall of Washington. Hall was struck by a flying hockey puck Dec. 15 and had his right eye removed.

Refuses Medical Aid For Daughter Richmond Child Is Reported Improved RICHMOND, Ind. (UP) — The condition of an 11-year-old girl whose father refused medical aid for her for religious reasons was reported to be “greatly improved’’ early today. Arthur Pippen and his family have been basing their hopes for Judy Pippen’s recovery from an apparent attack of acute appendicitis on prayer. Authorities said Pippen already has lost one child whose illness allegedly was not attended by a physician. The father has been continuously implored to permit his daughter to be hospitalized. He agreed Tuesday night to let hospital authorities care for Judy if her condition remained serious or worsened, but later changed his stand after new talks with members of his sect. Pippen told Wayne County Sheriff Ed Cordell his family never needed a doctor. They are members, of a, group whose origins are believed to be in Kentucky and Tennessee. * ** Judy’s condition was described as “greatly improved” by authorities early today. Pippen, a foundry worker, has rejected the appeals of Cordell and fellow workers to let physicians care for Judy. Instead, Pippen and his family have prayed continuously for the sick child. The girl earlier had been reported feverish and in apparent great pain. Dr. W.W. Taylor, Wayne County health officer, visited the Pippen’s home Tuesday and reported that although the girl had ’’all the symptoms of acute appendicitis, my hands are tied." There were no Christmas lights visible from outside the family’s home Wednesday.
