Classroom Helpers F Os Invaluable Aid Nationwide Help By VFW Auxiliary By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — Teacher’s newest pet is the classroom helper, a woman volunteer who takes over schoolroom chores other than instructing. This fall, some 8,000 of these women volunteers will go back to school for at least three hours each week, in a unique program sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The auxiliary originated the project last year, said Mrs. Ray Godbey, of Lynwood, Calif., the national president. Mrs. Godbey is in town for the auxiliary’s 45th annual convention. She said the program has one major aim — to free an overworked teacher from some of the non-teaching jobs and leave her more time, for educating tomorrow’s citizens. The “pilot” project opened last October in' Kansas City schools, with 21 women volunteers. By year's end, it had spread to all parts of the nation. Serve Without Pay Volunteers in Illinois gave nearly 4,300 hours: in Nebraska, 3,700; in North Carolina, 3,400; in Ohio, 1.600. All told, some 4,000 women volunteered 37,000 hours. “This year, we expected to double the number of helpers,” said Mrs. Godbey, in an interview. “The greatest need so far has been in the rural areas,” she said. “But we have workers for wherever they are asked.” The usual procedure is for the local VFW to let the school know workers are available, but wait to be asked to help. But Mrs. Godbey said there are exceptions — in New Mexico, one parent worried about her own little girl crossing the street en route to class so asked if she could serve as “cop” on the corner for the whole school. Volunteers pledge themselves not to take pay and to perform “without comment or question the tasks assigned to me by the teacher or school administrator.” Perform Many Duties These assignments may include taking attendance records, collecting money for milk or hot lunch, helping young children with hats, coats and galoshes, passing out and collecting work material, helping in the library. Helpers guide young children to playgrounds, tidy up the classroom, answer telephones, do typing or run duplicating machines in school offices. In some cases, they’ve alio been asked to Chaperone dances. She said the project has approval of leading educators and the National Education Association.

Apparently it also has the sanction of the children. Mrs. Godbey said volunteers now find themselves being treated to apples, or other gifts, just like teacher. She told of one worker who said her reward for the hours given came when a six-year-old came up to her and presented a prize rock from his collection. “Next to my teacher, I like you best,” he said.

Christian Education Leaders In Session United Church Os Christ Conference LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—The United Church of Christ today opened a four-day conference for 5,000 Christian education leaders on how to transform Sunday School from a “wasted hour” to a productive period. One hundred daily study groups, led by experts on the Sunday, were scheduled to be the heart of the conference program. Leaders said the purpose was to “find new methods and dust off old ones in a concerted effort to turn what cynics have termed ‘the most wasted hour in the week' into a fruitful period of religious instruction.” Most of the delegates are Sunday School teachers from the new denomination which was formed last year in a merger of the Congregational Christian and Evangelical and Reformed Churches. In addition to the study groups, general sessions will be held. Keynote speaker for these is Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (R-Minn.), who is a layman in the denomination. Conference spokesmen said most of the delegates are young—under 25. Leaders for the study groups

were drawn not only from the denomination's own membership but others as well, the others including experts from the National Council of Churches and from theological seminaries. Spokesmen for the church said most of the men and women attending are lay people taking time out from their jobs and in most cases spending money from their own pockets “in order to become better Sunday School teachers.”

Lie Test Indicates Kierdorf Not Guilty Former Union Boss Not With Nephew PONTIAC, Mich. (UPI) — A lie detector test indicated Monday night that former Teamsters official Herman Kierdorf was not an accomplice in an alleged arson job that turned his nephew, Frank Kierdorf, into a human torch. Herman was asked questions designed to show whether he had any knowledge of the Aug. 3 explosion at the dry cleaning shop in Flint, Mich., in which Frank was burned fatally. Detective Sgt. Frank Barkman said afterward, “I feel he’s telling the truth in connection with the questions.’ 1 — — J • CONGRESS (Continued from Page on«) House that sponsors agreed in advance to accept amendments to scale down the cost to less than 500 million dollars. The administration recommended subsidies as : an alternative to imposing restrictions on imports of foreign lead and zinc and other minerals. Vote One, Education Bill < Also, in the House, the aid-to-science-education bill comes up for a vote on the question of sending it to a Senate-House conference committee. Both the House and Senate versions are aimed at bolstering science education to meet Russia's Suptnik era challenge. Th House approved a 900-mil-lion dollar bill while the Senate passed a $1,300,000,000 version. The Senate passed by voice vote in a Monday night session a compromise farm bill which permits Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson to drop minimum price supports for corn to the lowest level since 1939 and supports for cotton to the lowest level since 1940. The administration - - directed farm measure forestalled heavy ■ cutbacks in cotton and rice planting allotments next year. The legt islation now goes to President Eir senhower for certain signing into ’ law. Labor BUI KUled Also Monday night the Senate approved President Eisenhower’s nomination of W. Wilson White to head the Justice Department’s new civil rights division. The House late Monday killed the Senate-passed Kennedy-Ives labor reform bill. House supporters saw the bill falter under an onslaught of 198 votes against as opposed to only 190 votes for. The bill failed to get a simple majority under a procedure which would have required two-thirds approvalof members present. The bill was scheduled for a revival by campaigning Democrats and Republicans alike this fall. Leaders in both parties saw political dividends in Monday’s action. House Republicans blamed Democratic leadership for bringing the bill up under the no-amendment procedure, while Democrats said 137 Republican votes were primarily responsible for the bill's demise. Other developments Monday: Rickover: Die House and Senate sent the White House a joint resolution that would confer a gold medal on Rear Adm. Hyman G. Rickover for his work in developing the nation’s atomic submarine fleet. Public Works: A House-Senate conference committee agreed on a compromise $1,118,000,000 public works money bill keyed to providing more jobs. The measure now goes back to both houses for final action. Food Stamps: The House killed a Democratic-sponsored bill to launch a nationwide “food stamp plan” for distributing farm surpluses to the needy. Spies: The House passed legislation that would give the Justice Department power to prosecute American citizens for spying against the United States on foreign soil. Airports: The House passed a half-billion-dollar airport aid bill aimed at speeding the nation’s entry into the commercial jet age. The Senate has passed a different version. Atomic: The Senate voted U.S. assistance to the six-nation European atomic energy community's program for building nuclear electric power plants. The measure now goes to the House. u ,■ - - - - — If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — They bring results. I

Pressure-Curbing Bill Seems Dead Federal Agencies Seek Ike’s Favor WASHINGTON (UPI)-A firststep bill aimed at curbing attempts to put political pressure on federal regulatory agencies appeared dead today —a- victim of the congressional adjournment rush. The bill hit at abuses uncovered by the House influence - investigating subcommittee before it turnel to the alleged influencefor - favors relationship between Prsidential Assistant Sherman Adams and millionaire Bernard Goldfine. Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark.) of both the influence-investigating subcommittee and its parent House Commerce Committee told United Press International he believed the bill was shelved for the year because of lack of time to act on it. Rep. John E. Moss (D-Calif.)| a subcommittee member, said the bill can just as well be included in “a comprehensive attack on the problem” next year. Other subcommittee members agreed. The first - step bill — approved last month by the subcommittee—would have affected only the Federal Communications Commission. Its principal provision would have fanned any contacts with FCC members about a case under adjudication unless all interested parties were notified. Violators would be subject to a maximum sentence to one year in prison and a SIO,OOO fine. Trade in a good town — Decatur

Nehru To Oppose Part Os U.S. Plan Economic Self-Help Only Point Accepted NEW DELHI (UPI) — Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru today endorsed President Eisenhower’s economic self - help plan for the Middle East, but took issue with other parts of his sixpoint program to stabilize the area. Nehru demanded evacuation of , American troops from Lebanon and British troops from Jordan as a “prerequisite,” to solution of the overall Middle East problem. He told the lower house of Parliament at the start of a one-day foreign affairs debate that India was opposed to establishment of ■ any kind of police force tor the Middle East, under U. N. or other auspices. , Nehru said, however. India would be willing to increase the U. N. observers’ group in Lebanon, ’ and to some extent in Jordan. ► I Nehru did not comment on the i resolutions before the U. N. Gen- • eral Assembly, nor on Western proposals to send Secretary GenI eral Dag Hammarskjold to the ■ Middle East to seek peace.
