League Looks at Ftdtral Aid to Education: Tho Elomontary and Secondary School Act of 1965
Last spring Congress passed „ the Elementary and Secondary School Act of 1965, thus in* ^ creasing its aid to education. Under the new act’s first section, Title L the Indiana Department of Public Instruction will receive eighteen and a half million dollars, of which the state has allocated about $42,000 to the Greencastle schools. For some years now, the Greencastle school system, like other * systems throughout the nation, has received federal funds for various programs including school lunches and agriculture and home economics classes. Al- • though the League of Women Voters has not taken a stand, nationally or locally, on federal education legislation, they felt .-.it might be helpful tq inform the public about this latest education law and what the local schools are doing with it. Although the law has five - sections. Title I provides for most of the money Congress i appropriated and all of the money awarded Greencastle. : Under this Title, areas with financially or educationally deprived children receive aid to meet the special needs of these children and their classmates. The funds may be used to hire additional staff, to acquire equipment, or in other ways to strengthen the education of the deprived child. The Greencastle school district has 186 children between the ages of five and seventeen whose families earn less than $2,000 annually or who 'receive aid to dependent children. On the basis of that figure the state has determined Greencastle’s share of the funds set aside for Putnam County. Then the state reviewed and approved projects for which Greencastle would receive the federal funds. As a result, Greencastle schools are adding a physical education instructor for the upper elementary grades. Local teachers’ groups, as well as parents, have previously expressed the need for such a teacher. An elementary school librarian is also joining the staff tq enrich the reading program for all children and bring Greencas- ■ tie somewhat closer to the American Library Association : standards. Moreover, an addi- • tional remedial reading teacher i has been hired to work with : educationally deprived children and others with reading prob-
t lems.
the local system will purchase needed audio-visual materials for classroom use. After a year local schools will evaluate the above projects and report their findings to the Indiana Department of Public Instruction, which is totally responsible for administering the law within the state. Section 604 of the Elementary and Secondary School Act prohibits "any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum, program of instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational institution or school system.” The four sections of the act which are not being implemented locally include grants for making instructional materials available through the Indiana Department of Public Instruction (Title II); grants for supplemental educational centers and services, such as guidance programs or psychological services (Title IH); grants to colleges and universities for educational research and training (Title IV); and grants to strengthen state departments of education (Title V). King Urges Registration BIRMINGHAM, Ala. UPI — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. urged Negroes Monday night to register to vote by the thousands to prepare for the "transformation” of the state of Alabama. King, in a flying visit from his Atlanta home, spoke in Birmingham, Bessemer and Fairfield as part of a Negro voter registration campaign. "We now have Uncle Sam on our side,” King said, referring to federal registrars in Jefferson Birmingham County. "If we aren’t treated right now, we’ll get on Uncle Sam.” King promised his audiences to "transform the entire state of Alabama when the ballot is in our hands.” He returned to Atlanta late Monday night, but promised to return Friday.
More Snow In Huddle West By United Press International A storm center in Arkansas sent snow flying across much of the Midwest today and caused sleet and freezing rain as far south as Mississippi. Temperatures dipped past 30 below in northern Minnesota. Light snow piled up throughout the Chicago area, and city road crews worked to prepare expressways and highways for the morning rush hour. The U. S. Weather Bureau posted hazardous driving warnings for Arkansas and western Tennessee. Sleet was reported southward into Jackson and Meridian, Miss. The lowest temperature reported was 31 degrees below at International Falls, Minn. It was 46 below Monday at Bemidji, Minn. Purdue Reports Painting Missing LAFAYETTE UPI — Purdue University officials announced Monday a painting of Wilbur and Orville Wright by the famous artist Andrew Wyeth had disappeared from a traveling exposition at the school. Officials said the painting was “missing,” indicating it could have been misplaced. Police were called in to investigate, however. The 24-inch by 28-inch painting is owned by the John Hancock Insurance Co. It was one of 40 paintings composing the “Faces of Freedom” exhibit, which was being housed while at Purdue in the lounge at the school’s student union building. University officials said a value could not be placed on the work, which they told the insurance company was discovered missing from its place in the exhibit around 1 p. m.
Monday.
Insurance company officials asked the school to remove a painting from the exhibit when they learned of the "missing”
Wyeth.
The work was a portrait of the late President John F. Kennedy, lent to the firm for the exhibit by his widow, Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy.
In an attempt to make local -teachers more competent in recognizing and helping educationally deprived children, the Department of Public Instruction has authorized the local board f| hold a suitable in-service training program. The state has also approved the hiring of ^spelters’ aids, who will free Greencastle teachers from some eg their clerical and other non(g&ching duties, enabling them tpr concentrate the time saved on their students.

StUideWASHINGTON^ MARCH OF EVENTS
SEE U. S. SPACE LEAD OVER RUSSIA WIDENING
I
SCIENCE SUPERIORITY SOUNDLY ESTAEUSHED
By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer TCTASHINGTON—The United States has taken the lead in the W undeclared space race with Russia and there is no doubt in informed circles that it will widen and become more pronounced in the months and years ahead. American technological and scientific superiority was established for all the world to see in the spectacular rendezvous tit Gemini 6 and Gemini 7 while in identical orbits around the earth. The flawlessness of the feat made the almost unbelievably complex maneuver appear simple. However, it and similar space programs require the most sophisticated degree of theoretical and applied science, coupled with the highest degree of technology. There is a growing body of evidence that Russia is failing to meet the U.S. level of competence in both
categories.
Russia’s early lead, which she exploited with all of the propaganda machinery at the disposal of Moscow and world Communism, stemmed from one achievement—the ability to produce rockets of greater thrust than the U.S. That time has now passed and both countries can produce rockets powerful enough
to cany their vehicles into space.
Since then, the U.S. progam has moved steadily ahead toward its objective at a live Moon landing. Russia’s programmed identical goal is faltering. While the Soviets will not say so, it is apparent that their timetable is undergoing slow-down revisions. What is involved in the rivalry is a lot more than appears on the surface. First, the prestige of each nation is involved. Second, Russia’s effort to capitalize on this factor has involved the implied and sometimes stated declaration that it demonstrates that the Soviet system is superior to the capitalist system in encouraging scientific and technological development. Gemini 6 and Gemini 7 have effectively muffled that particular Communist propaganda play for the forseeable future.

Declarer took the first spade in dummy and led a trump to try a finesse with the queen. West won with the king and returned a spade to dummy’s ace. Declarer led a trump to the ace and made horrible noises when West failed to follow suit. South had to lose a second trump trick and was down one. “If you had played the ace of trumps,” North complained, "you would have caught the singleton king.” "We all know that now,” South agreed. "Why didn’t you speakup sooner?” "Because you led trumps too soon,” North observed. “You couldn’t tell what you needed to do, and nobody could help you.” TESTS DIAMONDS North meant that South led trumps before he knew whether or not he could afford to lose a trump trick. South should lead a club to his hand at the second trick and should try the diamond finesse before touching trumps. If the diamond finesse loses, South must later try a finesse
with the queen of hearts. His only hops is to pick up the trumps without loss, which he can do if East has two hearts headed by the king. If the diamond finesse wins, South can afford to lose one trump trick. Therefore he leads a heart to the acs. The king drops, and the rest is easy. If the king of hearts failed to drop South would get to dummy and lead another heart. This play .limits the trump loss to one trick whenever the normal finesse would work and also whenever West has the singleton king. South has only one way to play the diamonds but two ways to play the hearts. He should play the diamonds first to see if the result tells him which way to play the hearts.

Young To Fly His 'Own Ship' SPACE CENTER, Houston UPI — U. S. astronaut John Young, who became a space hero as a copilot, will have a chance to realize perhaps his biggest dream — “to fly my own ship” — on an orbital voyage this summer. He, in turn, will break in another space rookie: fellow astronaut Michael Collins. The occasion, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced Monday, will be the two-to-three day flight of Gemini 10 — a tricky, orbit - hopping journey that will include perhaps a dozen scientific experiments and an attempt to link up with another satellite. For good measure, copilot Collins may have a chance to take a walk in space outside the ship. Gemini 10 is scheduled as America’s third manned space journey of 1966. But the flight plan “is very sketchy at this point,” space agency officials admitted. The voyage will be “very dependent” on the outcome of the Geminis 8 and flights. Gemini 8, piloted by astronauts Neil Armstrong and David Scott, is tentatively set for March 7. Gemini 9, flown by Elliott See and Charles Bassett, should follow about two months later. Both will include attempts to “dock” with other satellites in orbit and spasewalks for Scott and Bassett.
