But Dolores, who will be next

of Mr.. Hoover's letter should be
made public. Not to do so leaves 6
suspicion upon DR.. Condor, the De-

Speaking as q member of Con-

that the Congress and the people

as expressed in Mr.. Hoover's letter
Case Is Seen as Exception.
"In your letter of March to the
committee, you stated that release
OF the file to the committee could
not be made because of the interest
OF Government employees in being
protected from unfounded charges. I
consider this letter in DR.. Condor S
case to be an exception to the gen.
eral rule and policy as expressed in
your letter, and I see no reason
why the Congress and the public
are not entitled to full disclosure in
this matter.
"As you are aware, very serious
charges concerning DR.. Condon's as
sociations have been made, based
upon this letter from Mr.. Hoover
If the subcommittee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities is in error, I think
the facts should be brought out
so that as you have so well stated
in your letter, the interest of Gov
ernment employees in being pro-
tected from unfounded charges can
be served"
Mr.. Rankin's request that Presi.

Education Office Says
Functions Are Spread
To Too Many Agencies

The Once of Education yesterday
called for closest scrutiny" of a
situation which has allowed edu-
cational functions and educational
leadership in the Federal Govern
ment to be dispersed among too
many agencies.
The warning was contained in the
annual report of the Office of Edu-
cation, transmitted by Federal Sc
curity Administrator Oscar r. Ewing
to the President and Congress yes
terday. The report was prepared
under direction of Commissioner of
Education John w. Studebaker.
Blame for this dispersal" of ed
ucational activities of the Federal
Government was laid on the fact
that, because of lack of funds, the
Federal education office has been
in-equipped" to do what is re-
quired by law. AS result. many
other and stronger agencies have
gone into educational fields.
The report also recommended
general Federal aid to the Nations
schools as the only way to assure
a reasonable minimum OF educa-
tional opportunity in every COM
munity and a system of Federal
scholarships to make advanced
schooling available to all who can
qualify for it on merit.
DR.. Studebaker said the first re-
quirement today is a strong nation,
in view of the developments since
the end of World War II. Education
has a contribution of first import
ance if that goal is to be achieved,
he stated.
ITO strengthen education is to
contribute nightly to healthy
economy, improved physical and
mental health, an understanding OF
democracy and a greater sense of
personal responsibility for its sue
cess" he said.
The rest of the report summarized
contributions of the Office of Edu-
cation during the last year in meet
ing the continuing "crisis in educa-
ton" Overcrowded schools, lack of
qualified teachers, poor pay for
teachers and the sometimes dubious
value of present courses of irstruc-
ton were all mentioned as con-
tributing to this crisis.

Joseph was rescued by 1t. Ralph
D. Fritz, USCG, who found him in
the pit and pulled him out. 1t
Fritz, who lives at 4308 haywood
drive, Haywood Gardens, said he had
seen Joseph and two other children
playing on three wooden doors
which had been placed over the
excavation in the 4300 block OF
HAYWOOD drive. He was standing
about so feet away, he said.
Boy Found in Pit.
IT suddenly noticed that the chill
dren were no longer there" 1t. Fritz
related, "and I sensed something
was wrong"
The officer said he ran to the
pit and found the boy standing in it,
crying. Mr.. Fritz grabbed him by
the arms and pulled him out, then
attempted to peer through the steam
that was issuing from the pit, think
ing the other children also might
have fallen in.
The others ran up then, however,
and one of them, Larry Levine, 4,
told Mr.. Fritz to take Joseph to the
Levine home at 1904 Russell avenue,
which is near the scene.
Apparently Dislodged Cover.
At the Levine apartment the
Brentwood Rescue Squad was called
to take the boy to the hospital.
Residents of haywood Gardens
said the 4-foot pit is all that remains
of larger excavation which was
made by workmen attempting to
find a leak in the steam pipe. Mr..
Fritz said the children jumping on
the old doors apparently Jared
them out of position and caused one
of them to fall in the hole.
A barricade was being erected
around the pit last night.
