A Pounding At The Door The wolves will howl again. The recent Soviet success could very well start another attack on American education that will do as much harm to real education as did the original post-Sputnik denunciation of every level from kindergarten to advanced technical schools. After Sputnik, every crusader and attentiongrabber in this country became an overnight authority on what should be taught in American schools, how it should be taught, and when it should be taught. Many of them even decided to whom it should be taught. No one will deny that many of these crusaders were intelligent people. In many instances they were brilliant in their own particular field — which was very seldom education. But, if Dr. Conant attempted to tell Admiral Rickover how to build atomic submarines, everyone would think it was ridiculous. When the shoe is on the other foot, it is just as ludicrous. The stage is set for a replay. The characters might change, but the lines could easily be the same. We seem to be behind, so it must be the fault of the schools. Before those schools are too seriously attacked, we should stop and remember that public education, pioneered by this country, is as much responsible for our greatness as any other single factor. It has to be admitted that schools that teach everyone must be graded for the median instead of the top-flight students or the extremely slow students. It would be fine if schools on several levels could be maintained. It would also be financially impractical. So, we teach from the middle level, and hope that extra help from the teachers and the home can take up the slack in those unusually gifted or unfortunately slow youngsters. And, amid all of the clamor for learning facts, the schools must remember that one of their prime functions — their most important function, actually, is to teach the youngsters to be citizens first, and then let them find their own channels for contributing to society. Those who clamor for the European or Russian brand of education overlook the fact that the governments of many of those nations do not ask of their young people, but tell their young people. They eliminate that all-important factor known as the individual. Our public school system is not perfect. It is, however, much more good than imperfect. It has turned out most of the people who comprise this nation and make it what it is today. It can be improved, but the job should be left to educators, not crusaders.

Democrat Leaders Promise Kennedy Economy Measures
By ARNOLD SAWISLAK United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD — Democratic congressional leaders promised President Kennedy today they will do their best to win passage of six bills he advocated to spur the flagging economy. They made the pledge in their weekly breakfast meeting with the the President at the White House. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield told newsmen afterward that “the leadership will do its best” to press for action on the measures advocated by Kennedy in his economic speech to the nation Monday night. Speaker John W. McCormack noted that the House Ways and Means Committee will consider one of the bills — temporary extension of federal u nemployment payment benefits — at a closed session this week. Committee Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark., a Iready has endorsed extending the unemployment benefits “for at least the fall and winter months.” Urges Drug Bill McCormack said that in addition to the economic proposals the drug bill pending in the House is of “transcending importance.” He said committee hearings would begin next Monday or Tuesday on the legislation to strengthen the government’s hand in protecting the public from dangerous drugs. Kennedy’s r equest for broad
G 0 P In Lake County Having New Revival
By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Yes, Virginia, there is a Republican Party in Lake County. The Calumet area has been a citadel of the Democrats for 30 years, but the Republicans hope for a reversal this year following recent political scandals allegedly involving Democratic politicos. Under federal indictment charging income tax fraud are Gary Mayor George Chacharis and Lake County Sheriff Peter Mandich and lesser politocos. Although their, federal court trials will not start until after the fall election, the GOP campaigners are making hay with demands of action on alleged state law violations which the Democratic officials are parrying. Stanton Heads Drive The head of the GOP revival movement in the Calumet undoubtedly is David Stanon, nom-

new tariff - cutting powers, approved with few changes by the House, was in the last stages of public hearings before the Senate Finance Committee. His public works bill, approved with some changes by the Senate, may be in difficulty in the House. Kennedy asked for $2 billion standby authority for works projects. The Senate cut that to $750 million and the House Public Works Committee eliminated it. Tax Reform Bill Kennedy’s limited tax reform bill, passed by the House, nearly ran aground In the Senate Finance Committee. The bill originally would have provided businessmen with tax credits on new equipment, and provided for withholding taxes from dividends and interests. But the committee cut out the withholding provisions, revised the tax credits and made other drastic ahgnes. It awaits action bn the Senate floor. The president called “m os t important” his “youth opportunities” program. The most likely legislation, a three - year $238 million proposal for a new youth conservation corps similar to the CCC of the 19305, and a “home town peace corps” to carry on local projects, was stalled before the House rules Committee. A Senate committee has approved a much larger bill. The school bill Kennedy urged currently is enmeshed in the same church-state dispute that killed aid for grade and high schools last year.

College Is Given $200,000 Gift North Manchester — An annuity gift valued in excess of $200,000 was received by Manchester College from Mr. and Mrs. William H. Shively, North Manchester, it has been announced by President A. Blair Helman. Mr. and Mrs. Shively transferred their North Manchester dairy business and equipment, two residences, two farms comprising 445 acres, their interest in livestock, equipment and crops, and other property, in exchange for a lifetime annuity contract. The gift was received the first of August and is the largest single annuity contract ever entered mto by the College according to President Helman. Mr. Shively has been in business in North Manchester for 35 years. His wife, the former Clementine Kircher, received a commercial diploma from the College in 1925. The Shivelys have been contributors to the College in the March of Progress building campaign although because it is an annuity this recent large gift cannot be tabulated in that effort. “Manchester College is very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Shively for their consideration of the college as a worthy place to bestow their benefaction” commented President Helman.” “This kind of confidence in Manchester College —W* ■ Romney, who may be Michigan’s next governor, have not been invited to any Hoosier party affairs, and that’s just half. Romney, the former president of American Motors, addressed a meeting of United Press International editors in Indianapolis last fall but received no c ourtesies from Hoosier GOP chiefs. — The conservatism of the Hoosier GOP leaders is indicated by the fact that Goldwater has spoken at various party gatherings in this state half a dozen times in the past year.

finding the way Fear That Casts Out Fear I BY RALPH W. LOEW, DD. Hmbh Written for Newspaper Enterprise Asm.
Too many of us are afraid of everything and fear nothing. Just when we had lost a fear of God, we are afraid of germa, loss of job, loss of friends, or not being able to keep up with one another, of warfare or of any number of other possible happenings. The business of worrying oneself to death is a full-time career for all too many people. Why, otherwise is the tranquilizer business boomThe other day I stepped into an elevator in a hospital. It was an automatic device, requiring only that you touch a button to be delivered to the proper floor. The only other passenger was a modishly dressed woipan who fairly screamed when I started to leave at the floor I desired. “You aren’t leaving me alone in this thing?” she said, “I’ll faint.” So I rode up two floors and then returned to my destination. When this woman would leave the building she would drive through a maze of traffic where decisions are being made constantly which are anything but automatic! But she wasn’t going to ride alone in an elevator. Such are the irrational fears that beset people. But there is another fear, that which is born of awe, of a healthy reverence for that which is beyond self. This is the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom. The old catechisms reported that “we ought to fear, love and trust in God above all

things." This was no little business of being afraid. It was the honest fear that i handled the dishonest fears; j it is the reverent fear that is the basis of all great living. | Oyr capacity to trust is as great as our capacity to be afraid. Our ability to have a i genuine reverence which uplifts life is as possible as our demonstrated ability to be half scared to death. Our possibility of adventuring into the unknown with the haunting presence of God is mqre exciting than stumbling through life half-paralyzed with our own anxieties. We aren’t going to get over our own fears by whistling in the dark; out of the very agony of understanding the hush of awe before God comes the rightful fear that is the beginning of wisdom. The weaklings are afraid; the foolhardy are ignorant. Those who are strong understand with awe that nothing can separate them from the love i of God. It’s an eternal prin-; ciple that ‘perfect love casts . out all fear?
