■AWaSHIMGTfII To Prevent Dropouts U By U.S. SEN. BIRCH BAYH (D-Ind.) ] Improved educational opportunities form the bedrock of the nation’s war against poverty. Under President Johnson’s leadership, the Congress has approved a sweeping tax reduction which

promises to pour S3O million » day into our economy next year. This economic growth will provide more jobs and better wages. But a man who is untrained, whose skills have net been developed, whose mind has not been broadened by education cannot participate in any general economic growth. One of every three students now in the fifth grade will not finish high school. Yet the fastest growth in our labor force is in job categories requiring 16 years of education or more. The 88th Congress passed three signifi-

cant education bills: The Vocational Education Act, the Higher Education Facilities Act, and the Health Professions Facilities Assistance Act. We have extended—and are now seeking to expand—the National Defense Education Act which, among other things, provides low-interest, long-term loans for college education. 1 But now we are engaged in a war on poverty. One in every five American families has an income of less than $3,900 a year. Children from disadvantaged families have, in general, academic aptitude equal to that of children from ■ore privileged homes. But due to overcrowded conditions in their homes, inadequate food, inadequate money, and the requirement for parents and older children to be out working, the disadvantaged child soon falls behind in his school work and rarely catches up. j I suggest that our hundreds of teacher-education insti- 1 tutions over the United States begin a massive, voluntary experimental program in the education of disadvantaged children -a program that could open doors through which we in the Congress could walk and offer our assistance. I suggest that student teachers be utilixed to supervise groups of 10 or 16 of these slower students in study and review sessions lasting an hour or so each day. Student teachers could also take these youngsters on field trips to museums, concerts, selected motion pictures, or simply to the park or a bank or the post office. Wa a t more comfortable means often forget that many ' „ of our neighbors with inadequate incomes rarely find the time to take their children to see the broadening, enlightening things that we too frequently take for granted. I suggest that summer school programs be designed at specified centers with the disadvantaged children in mind. Summer is a time when children can be taught without the rigidity of regular school. I A clam could, for example, spend the summer studying a single Shakespearean play, acting out the parts and putting on production for other students and parents. Yet this experience could open for these children new insights into the wonderful world of literature. Teacher -education institutions mast take the lead in determining what we need in oar schools and bow the Congress can help. Only by broad, imaginative experimentation can wa find oat. - “

Poland Plagued By Economy Troubles

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst From 1957 through 1963 the United States sold Poland around SSOO million worth of farm products, including sizable amounts of grain. The grain went into Polish hams, which in turn went into Polish exports, becoming one of Poland’s best earners of Western hard currency. And in its turn the hard currency went into the machines needed by Poland in her headlong rush to convert an agricultural economy to an industrial one. That Poland has made progress under the system may be seen by a look at the nature of Polish exports. In 1956, 75 per cent of Polish exports consisted of foodstuffs, raw materials and semi-fin-ished goods. By the end of 1963 the figure had fallen to 55 per cent with machines and industrial consumer goods increasing to 45 per cent. But the system depends upon an important “if.” Weather Big Factor The “if” is the weather. A succession of two disappointing crop years and the severe winter of 1962-63 broke the cycle and the Polish economy began to slide toward stagnation. Transportation broke down, plants closed for lack of fuel and raw material. Unemployment rose .and with it the discontent of Polish workers. Consumer costs for coal, gas and electricity jumped 100 per cent. The hard-drinking Polish worker was hit by a 15 per cent jump in the price of vodka. The Central Committee of the Polish Communist Party has been wrestling with the problem of the troubled economy since last July and on June 15 is expected to present its economic plan for 1966-70 to • party congress. For the congress it will be the first meeting since 1959. Major goals of the new fiveyear plan, according to party lapAt*- Wladyislaw Gomulka, will be creation of 1.5 million new Jobe and elimination of the need to import grain for bread ynd animal fodder. Favm Stalinism The whole picture of Poland Is one at contrasts and Gomulka, one of the few men sue-

cessfully to defy Khrushchev in recent years has ruled by delicate checks and balances. Within the party he balances a right wing favoring a return to the hard line <rf Stalinism against “revisionists” arguing that to win the support of the masses the party must serve the popular interest. The government opposes the Catholic Church, to which most Poles belong, and occasionally increases pressure against it but short of similar measures practised within the Soviet Union. fer t Free enterprise is permitted to an extent greater than in any other Communist-bloc nation. Official statistics show more than 15,000 privately operated retail stores in Poland. Nearly 90 per cent of Poland’s farmland is in private hands. The Polish farmer is like the weather—easy to talk about but hard to change. Polish agriculture is the best of any Communist nation. But the Polish peasant is stubbornly fond of his own way of life. gig . -A-’ ■ [ SOUR PROPOSITION— Keith Harmond, 6, of Batesville, Ark., can make lemonade for all his friends with these two large lemons.
