Educational Program
Projected 10 Bring
$4,000 Into Army
President Says Figures
On IIIiteroey in Nation
Are Startling
Fy the Associated Press.

ey the Associated Press.
An adult education program was
projected today, after President
Roosevelt was advised that INSULT
cient education already had elm
mated approximately $50, 900 physi-
cally fit men from military service.
The plan aimed both at adding
many new divisions to the armed
forces and placing thousands of
better-qualifed workers in the war
production lines.
Mr.. Roosevelt discussed the ed
cation problem at his press con-
ference, after John w. Studebaker,
Federal education commissioner, and
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selec-
tive service director, presented what
the President termed startling
figures.
Will Ask for Funds.
Using 1910 census reports, DR..
Studebaker said there were over
10000 900 persons in the United
States more than 25 years of age
who had not been beyond the fourth
grade in school. That is 1857 per
cent, or approximately one of every
seven persons, of that age group.
He did not have figures on all per-
sons over 81.
Paul v. McNutt. manpower chief.
said he expected to ask the budget
bureau for funds and that, if
finally given the signal by the
President, the program probably
could be launched late in the sum-
mer.
Both Mr.. McNutt and Dr. Stude-
baker declined to predict whether
men deferred from the draft for
Eteracy reasons would be required 10
60 to school 1t was assumed the
program would be undertaken
through existing school facilities,
with many men 20 to As attending
classes at night.
May Need S30,000,000.
There is pending in Congress a
bill porposing a s15,OO0,OO0 appro-
priation to aid the educational at
tahnment of persons II and over
having less than four years of
schooling, and some education
quarters hinted that twice that
amount may be needed.
DR.. Studebaker said there were
433, 900 men of draft age without
sufficient education-fourth grade
to serve in the Army, and estimated
that $50 900 of these were physically
fit.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his press con-
ference the men rejected were not
morons, but were rejected largely
because they had lacked a chance
for education. He added that these
men needed to have their wits
sharpened, and perhaps this would
be done through q manual, voca-
tional process.

"The contest is designed to give

dent Roosevelt's scrap-rubber drive -
Washington I. Cleveland, manager
of the District division of the AAA
said yesterday.
THE Today extension of the rub
ber-collection campaign gives us an
opportunity for rounding up every
ounce OF scrap in the Washington
territory. The latest reports are
that Washington is still far down

of per capita collections. We are
looking to the children eligible to

strong impetus in bringing about
a much better record for the Ma
tion's Capital in the, closing days

Meanwhile the search for un-
needed rubber in public buildings

companies, the Mercedes and Titania,
which the government claimed were
