Thirty school children in the isolated northern California logging community of Somes

Many of America's 44 million g a r had no teacher for their grade and high school students two-room school. Town officials had no instructors as schools were not optimistic about findbegan opening their doors this ! ing one , mont h j “The children just aren’t New York State said it had going to school, and there’s not 11 ■ ■ a thing we can do for them,”

| Supt. Paul Fisher said.

Dr. Oliver Hodge, superinten dent of Oklahoma schools for 20 years, said this fall’s shortage “is as bad and probably worse than any I have ever known.” “It's the most serious shortage we have had since the 1940s,” Kentucky’s superinten dent, Dr. Harry M. Sparks, said. There were shortages in virtually all areas of instruction, including the primary grades. But the most severe lack was in the high school areas of mathematics, science ! and industrial arts, where low pay drives many teachers into taking more lucrative Jobs in

business and industry.

“If the salaries were raised, there would be plenty of teachers,” a spokesman for the U.S. Office of Education said. National Education Association NEA statistics show the average salary of elementary and secondary teachers for a 10-month year is $6,011, up about $300 from 1962. At least five states -Louisiana, South Dakota, Arkansas, Mississippi and South Carolina -pay teachers less than $5,000 a year. * “Why teach for $6,000 a year when Boeing will pay me $12,000 and send me to graduate school besides?” a West Coast collegian who had planned to teach asked. Competition from the federal government is taking more blame for the shortage of elementary school teachers. Poverty programs -the Job Corps, the Peace Corps and Project Head Start -offer

many teacher* a stiffer challenge and sometimes better pay than a regular teaching contract. Federally-assisted programs for teaching the blind, deaf, handicapped and mentally retarded have also drained qualified teachers from regular classrooms.

WALL STREET cotter NEW YORK UPI—Bradbury K. Thurlow of Winslow, Cohu & Stetson believes the widely forecast business recession for 1967 will not materialize. He says we may well see a siege economy with higher income i tEixes and rigid controls over ; wages and prices but these j measures do not necessarily en-

tail a bear market from present price levels. Bache & Co. says the relatively easy penetration of the 800 level in the Dow Jones Industrial Average would seem to indicate that the 830-840 plateau is within the grasp of the current technical rally. The company believes that strength in higher grade shares has boosted traders’ confidence but that there are still many pitfalls to be faced in the advance. Moon Rocket Crash Probable PASADENA, Calif. UPI — America’s Surveyor 2 mooncraft tumbled violently toward certain self-destruction today as engineers tried desperately to save the lunar softlanding and picture-taking mission.

Despite a near-perfect lunar trajectory. Surveyor 2 was doomed unless the tumbling was halted and the craft stabilized for the critical retro-rocket firing and braking process. Project officials, who tried Wednesday to stabilize the craft by igniting the unresponsive No. 3 vernier engine, were expected to use up the remaining battery power aboard Surveyor. The power should be gone by 6 a.m. PDT (9 a.m, EDT) to-

day.

The violent tumbling motion prevented Surveyor’s solar panel from locking onto the sun and recharging the battery. Without power, it could not receive or

transmit radio signals.

Officials also expressed concern that the repeated attempts to fire all three vernier, or steering, engines simultaneously would ‘‘speed up the tumbling rate’’ and possibly damage the i television camera and other; I equipment aboard Surveyor.

Pope To Speak, Pray For Peace VATICAN CITY UPI — Pope Paul VI says he will continue to speak and to pray for peace in Viet Nam “without renouncing any other possible effort” to bring peace about. “Peace is the equilibrium of the world: an indispensible equilibrium even if today it is weak and oscillating,” the pontiff said, “...whoever is aware of the present condition of the world cannot help but be afraid, cannot prevent himself

from trembling ”

Pope Paul spoke at his weekly general audience. In his address, he explained why he 1 had issued his Sept. 15 ! encyclical letter “Christi Ma- | tri” to the mother of Christ,

which was made public Mooday. It called for an end to fighting in Viet Nam and dedicated the month of October to praying for that end. “Some might ask: what does the encyclicEil accomplish?” the pontiff said” ,. .the church, the Pope, what can it do that is positive tmd effective? “Well,” he added, “without renouncing any other possible effort available to us ... two things, two things that indicate our politics. We can speak and we can pray.” The power of speech, t he pontiff said, is still a force for "the mystery of truth that it contains and reveals..." “And for this,” he continued, “we will speak. We would speak with faith so that it would move the mountain. . “And we will pray,” he said. “And we are convinced that to pray is not a vain endeavor. We have faith.”
