Commendation Given To John A. Kohne, Jr. John A. Kohne, Jr., senior at Decatur Catholic high school has been honored for his high perfor- ■ scholarship qualifying test (NMS , mance on the national merit QT) given last spring. Each stu- ’ dent who is endorsed by his school receives a formal letter 1 of commendation signed by his principal and the president of the " national merit scholarship corporation. Sister M. Almeda. the school’s principal, has announced that the » commended student is John A. Kohne, Jr., who plans to enter a ’ pre-medical college next fall. ® John M. Stalnaker, president of the national merit scholarship ■ corporation stated: “In recognition of their ex--1 cellent performance on the national merit scholarship qualify- • ing test, nearly 25,000 students throughout the United. States are being awarded letters of «Qfn- • mendation. 'While_Jhese bright youngsters • did notreach tl>e status of semifinalisfls in Mhe 1961-62 merit pro3 gram, \hey are so capable that we wish to single them out for • special attention. The semifinalists and commended students to- ) gether constitute less than 2 per cent of all high school seniors, • and this certainly signifies noteworthy achievement.” 1 The national merit scholarship • corporation gives recognition to two groups of students who 3 achieve high scores on the NMSQT. The semifinalist group is composed of the highest-scoring > students in each state and in U.S. territories. Some 10,000 semifin-, > alists will take a second examination in December to establish > further their eligibility to receive! merit scholarships. “The letters of commendation) 1 provide tangible recognition ofj the commended students’ high i 1 ability,” Stalnaker continued. “It, < 1 is our earnest hone that the re- 1 cipients will continue their edu-) > cation and thus benefit not only t themselves but also the nation. !, “The merit program has sever-! 1 ( al objectives. One is the select] tion of merit scholars. However,!; ■ we also strive to foster the pur- > , suit of excellence among all stu-p dents whose high performance ini dicates great promise. We urge the students honored today to ’ make every effort to attend college, and to develop to the ,■ fullest their promsie of achievement.” i To increase their opportunities . to obtain financial assistance if Ithey need it. the merit corporation sends the names, home addresses, and test scores of all t, commended students to the two colleges they indicated as their - preferred choices at the time ,' they took the qualifying test. The bommended students were : among the high school juniors in more than 15,000 schools who I took the NMSQT last March. The test is a three-hour examination - that covers five separate areas! ) of educational development. It] was the first step in the seventh i annual merit program. This year’s program will con-’ ) elude about April 26, 1962, with . the naming of students who will receive four-year merit scholarships to the colleges of their . choice. The commended students and the semifinalists who do not win merit scholarships are considered . for certain other scholarships j that are offered through the fa- , cilities of the national merit scholarship corporation. r The annual merit scholarship competition is open to all high schools in the United States and ’ its territories. There are 3330 | merit scholars currently enrolled ■* ! in about 400 colleges and univer- * sities. Almost 1200 merit scholars have been graduated. Scholarship awards are made from the resources of the cprporL ation and through sponsoring business corporations, founda* ' tions, associations, and individuals. ‘ 3 3 3 JP Pleads Guilty i To Embezzling Fund c SOUTH BEND, Ind. <UPD — I James R.

See No Basis For Serious Berlin Talks J WASHINGTON (UPI) — The United States has told its allies < it sCes no basis so far for seri- ( ous negotiations with Russia on , the Berlin crisis. j But U.S. officials feel that “ex- ( ploratory” talks should continue < with the Russians in the hope that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev will modify his posi- ' tfon. The British, French and West German ambassadors received a report at the State Department Monday on the results of Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko’s discussions with President Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Summarize Position As officials here summarized it, Gromyko’s position included these points; —Russia, in signing its separate peace treaty with East Germany, is willing to include as part of the treaty a four-power agree- J ment on the status of West Ber-■ lin. —West Berlin wouid be a “free city” with token Western and • Russian troops stationed there. ’ There would be no such interna- ■ tionalization of East" Berlin. —West Berlin, as Russia has alwavs insisted, could not remain politically a part of West Germany. But East BerEr would remain the capital of East Germany. Nuclear Free-Zone -To stabilize conditions in Europe, there would be a “nu-clear-free zone” comprising East and West Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia. This was a revival of the Soviet - backed [ Rapacki plan, which the West rejected in 1956. Gromyko offered no inspection agains. cheating.
