Ex-Naturalized Citizens Helped WASHINGTON (UPD—About 50,000 persons who have lost their. U.S. citizenship by living abroad may now regain it because a determined GermanAmerican mother fought the issue through the Supreme Court and won. Those affected by the decision are former naturalized citizens, or their children, who either went back to their homeland and stayed more than three years, or have lived in some other country more than five years. Federal immigration laws provide that such people forfeit their citizenship — or they did until Monday. The Supreme Court invalidated the law bn the ground that it created a kind of second class citizenship and limited the lives of naturalized citizens in away not applicable to the native-born. Mrs. Angelika Schneider, a Smith College graduate now living with her lawyer-husband in Cologne, Germany, brought about this ruling over the dissent of three justices. Her own citizenship is now reinstated and her four young sons are now citizens of the United States as well as of West Germany.

Volunteers Help To Cut School Dropouts

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — An anti - juvenile delinquency program which could cut school dropouts drastically throughout the nation is completing a successful trial run in Greencastle. Mrs. Mildred Hervey, mother of five children who became Putnam County probation officer about two years ago, is the rentral figure in the program although she gives main credit for its success to the DePauw University students who took part in it. DePauw University students volunteer to aonate at least one hour a week to tutor grade or high school pupils in the city whose grades are so low they are on the verge of dropping out of school. Prof. Paul Thomas of DePauw’s sociology department, a former official of the Indiana Department of Correction, invited Mrs. Hervey to talk to one of his classes about juvenile delinquency. She told them that if School dropouts could be prevented the juvenile delinquency rate would drop. 19 Volunteers At First “I’m not exactly sure how it started, but between us, this plan evolved;’ Mrs. Hervey ex-

plained. The plan began with 19 college students volunteering to tutor such potential dropouts, and the number of volunteers reached 63 tutors in a short time. The plan is expected to be expanded when school resumes next fall and will continue on a limited basis this summer with about 10 DePauw students who live in Greencastle volunteering to continue tutoring during the vacation ’period. Thomas said the program is unique in that it “is being sponsored by DePauw and the Division of Probation (the County Department) of the Indiana Department of Correction. I know of no other such arrangement, although colleges like Reed in Oregon, Mt. Holyoke and Amherst in Massachusetts, St. Augustine School in Louisville, Columbia College in New York City have students tutoring various classes of youngsters.’’ Under the Greencastle plan, the volunteer college tutor is assigned one faltering grade or high school pupil and betterment of that child’s grades becomes the tutor's responsibility. Mrs. Hervey went to Greencastle High School, where the plan got its tryout, and told the pupils with failing or near-fail-ing grades that if they wanted a tutor and would try to bring up their grades, to sign' a request slip. Results Called “Wonderful” Mrs. Hervey, aided by Thomas and Mike Ratcliff, a DePauw student who served as coordinator. assigned these pupils a tutor and each worked out arrangements to aid the younger pupil with his school work. Some tutors met their pupils on DePauw’s campus, others go to the schools or homes of the pupils. Some meet in Mrs. Hervey’s Courthouse office. “The results have been just wonderful, so much better than we dared expect,” Mrs. Hervey said. ‘‘Many tutors ended up giving two or three hours a week, to their pupil instead of one. “In fact, some college students have taken as much as seven hours . from their own study time to help a potential dropout/!. Mrs. Hervey said many of the pupils so aided have advanced to much better grades and none has failed entirely. She said one of the keys to the success has been the feeling of the younger pupils that someone from the much - admired college group cared enough to donate his or her study time to help them get their lessons. A by-product has been the fact the Greencastle residents see the collegians in a different light. The “town and gown” harmony is* at an all-time high. Eaton Man Named To Farm Credit Board Marion A. Clawson, Eaton, grain and livestock farmer, will be sworn in as a member of the Federal Farm Credit Board June 1 when he attends his first meeting of the board in Washington, D. C.

Fanners Cut Delay In Spring Schedule LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD— Favorable weather enabled Indiana farmers to redtfce the delays in spring field ' work last week, but by the weekend progress was four-, -days—behind average. A week earlier, it was . six days behind schedule, according to the weekly crop report of agricultural statistician Robert E. Straszheim at Purdue. Straszheimreportedt h_a t planting of corn and soybeans grained priority over other farm activities during the week. Enough fain fell in most areas that topsoil and subsoil moisture continued to be “mostly adequate.” “Tne planting of corn, while progressing behind the previous two years, •' is now ahead of average,” Straszheim reported.

“By the end of the week, 35 per cent of the -corn was planted compared with 20 per cent for average. About 10 per cent of the soybean crop was planted, which is about average. “The setting of tomato plants averaged about the usual rate of 30 per cent. “Pastures rated tnostly good showed further improvement from a week earlier. Farmers were making preparations for hay harvest in many areas. Other “ crops were generally progressing nicely but behind usual. " ‘ “Only about 10 per cent of the corn is up to stands compared to- 15 per cent a year earlier. This was due mainly to the late start made in.« corn planting. Soybeans up to stand averaged less than 5 per cent, about the same as last year. “About 20 per cent of the wheat crop has bloom compared with a usual 15 per cent. Oats attained a height of 6 inches less than usual.”
