Senator Vandenberg Home After s Weeks in Hospital

Twice in the previous Is
months the Senator had under
gone operations. A lung was re-
moved.
There was no announcement as
to when Senator Vandenberg
would return to Washington.
Previously he had said he hoped
1t would be "soon."
Senator Vandenberg, a familiar
COP voice in international af-
fairs, has been conspicuously eh-
sent in the present United States
foreign policy debate on Korea
and other problems.
In a statement from the hos
pital earlier this week, however,
he pleaded for American unity.

since the work was started there
in 1888. She knows where they
are and what they have achieved,
and the record speaks well for
their success in various fields of
service.
Special Classroom.
When one enters the special
classroom for these sight-saving
classes at Langley. it's yellow
walls. green blackboards, large
printing on the boards, lots of
light. desks that are adjustable
to the need. and businesslike at
mosphere are indeed impressive.
The work in this particular room
is different from that of regular
claSSrooms, because it must meet
the special needs cf the indi-
vidual children whose vision is
less than normal, but not so in
adequate as to make braille nee
essary. These same children are
just as much a part of the regular
classes in the Langley Junior
High School building as are the
other students. They belong to
and recite their lessons with the
regular classes.
In keeping step with regular
activities at Langley, pupils from
the sight-saving class participate
in such groups as the Student
Council, Junior Red Cross. In
door Traffic Squad and others.
Talking books are used for
stories, poems and other teaching
materials. A pupil who has missed
some lessons can put on the ear
phones to catch up, without dis
turbing others. Or all pupils can
listen together and then have a
discussion period
The present class totals seven
pupils-three girls and four boys.
Three or these students wear no
glasses. All seven are together in
the special classroom for few
minutes of opening exercises in
the morning. Then they have a
home-room period around noon
which may be devoted to study,
to some counseling or to other
more or less individual work, such
as tipping, drawing or painting.
They come together again in the
late afternoon.
Teachers Lend Aid.
Teachers who have sight saving
pupils in their classes understand
the eye difficulties of these chill
dren thoroughly. There is con-
tinuous contact between the
teachers of the regular grades
and the sight-saving teacher. The
children are given seats where
they can see the blackboard.
Often the work is copied for them.
Assignments are sent to the
sight-saving teacher to reproduce
in large type.
Readers come to the school to
help the children with their home
work. They are volunteers from
social service groups of the city
Some volunteers also go to the
children's homes to help.
Within the year, sight conser-
vation work has been started for
colored students at the Shaw
Junior High School, where
around 20 are enrolled. Mrs
Mary T. Smith is the teacher.

inches, the big sight-saving die
tionary is actually a foot by foot
and a half. Both the little one
and the big one contain the same
useful reading" matter, so es-
sential to students. Boys and
girls whose vision does not serve
them adequately in their school
work are greatly helped by the
big books. The type is large and
heavy, and the paper is easy on
the eyes.
Many books are available in big
book form. For example, Steven
sons Treasure Island" long on
the school reading lists, Jumps to
three volumes in the big book
class. The cause. of course, is
the large bold-faced type in the
big books.
These special classes that use
the big books-the sight-saving
class-are located in two junior
high schools-Langley. at First
and T streets NE. for white stu
dents, and Shaw, at Seventh street
and Rhode Island avenue NV,
for colored students. They are
also located in the following ele-
mentary schools: Bancroft, at
Eighteenth and Newton streets
NV, and Tyler, Tenth and G
streets Sc, both for white chill
dren, and Park View, Warder and
Newton streets NV, for colored
children. There is also some itin-
Grant instruction available. Chill
dren come from all over the city
to the special classes.
Needed by One in 500.
There are national statistics
which indicate that about one
school child in every 500 needs
sight-saving classes. According
to this. there may be around $50
boys and girls in District schools
who could well benefit by such
classes. Not more than half that
number attend these classes. Find
ing the children who need this
service and getting understanding
Of the benefits they can gain, are
underlying problems.
At Langley, the work has been
carried on continuously for the
past IL years. There are students
enrolled from all grades of regular
junior high school level-the sew
enth, eighth and ninth. They
come from practically all sections
Of the city. Because these are
older children and have enough
vision to get around safely, they
are not ordinarily furnished
transportation by the Board of
Education, as are the elementary
special class children. Ages of the
present group range from II to Is.
A fair proportion of them 60 on.
and through college. Their drop
ping-out rate is no higher than
that of all students, say officials.
Teacher of the sight-saving
classes at the Langley Junior High
School, Miss Helen Appler, has a
record of all IS pupils who have
been in the sight-saving classes

Howard Hughes himself made the

One provision of the new contract
was to set a deadline for resumption
Of flight tests. The original deadline
was June l but the inventor per-
suaded the government to extend it
to September /.
On completion of his fight testing
program, Hughes may return the fiy-
ing boat to the government or, in re-
turn for his efforts and personal ex-
pense, may lease it for 81 a year up
to December 81, 1860, at the latest.

was rebuffed by Iran for what it
called "meddling."
Reluctantly the British agreed to
negotiate. They wanted to keep oil
flowing to the British fleet and they
wanted payment for the huge invest
ment in oil pipelines ana machinery.
The British agreed to accept nation
allzation in principle and wanted to
talk over how to carry It out. For the
privilege Of taking out oil while the

talks went on, the British offered an
advance of % million dollars and row
alties of 8.4 million dollars a month.
Flat Pefusal
Not good enough, retorted Premier
Mossadegh. Anglo -Iranian is now run
by Iran and the company must turn
over IS per cent of its current income
to the Teheran government and de-
posit the other Is per cent in Iranian
banks.
The British delegates flew back to
London. Britain appealed to the In
ternational Court at the Hague to re-
strain Iran from taking over the oil
properties until the dispute is settled.
Iran said it was purely domestic
issue over which the International
Court had no jurisdiction.
Iran ordered the oil company man
ayers to turn over receipts to the gov
ernment but the managers refused.
Premier Mossadegh gave British en-
ployes week to decide whether they

White Elephont?

Howard Hughes is millionaire in
ventor with farhung interests in oil
drilling, commercial airlines, the
movies and experimental aircraft de-
sign.
During the last war, he contracted
to build huge experimental flying
boat as a possible forerunner of a
fleet Of giant air transports. This was
at the height Of the Nazi U>boat drive
against American transatlantic ship
ping and coastwise tankers.
Wartime Project
The Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration put up Is million dollars for
the project. At the same time, it also
underworld construction of the Big
Inch pipeline from Texas oilfelds to
the fuel-starved industrial east.
The Big Inch pipeline was finished
on schedule and did yeoman service
during the war. But Hughe~' flying
boat, for a number of reasons, was
not.
Wartime shortage forced Hughes
to substitute new materials for many
strategic items Communicated for
regulation fighters and bombers. AS a
result the huge ship was built largely
OF plywood and plastics.
The war ended and Hughes huge
iiying boat still had not flown. The
original RFC investment Of is million
dollars had long since been used up.

The WORLD This WEEK
CRISIS: OiI-Rich Iran and the Cold War

OIL> is almost as vital in the
~ meehanized world of today as
food for people. Without oil, a ma
tion's large scale industry cannot
exist.
Oil is even more important in
war than in peacetime. You cannot
wage modern full-scale war without
oil any more than you can fight it
without gunpoWder.
Only atomic power, as yet unhar-
messed for productive purposes, is po-
tentially more valuable than oil.
Petroleum Power
This helps explain why petroleum
is one Of the explosive factors in the
east-west struggle for a slave or free
world. Without adequate oil re.
sources, modern world power is like
a giant on a starvation diet.
At present, the west has the bulk
OF petroleum power by a wide mar
gin. North and South America have
40 per cent of the worlds estimated
oil. reserves. The Middle East has AZ
per cent. Russia and ITS satellites have
only 6lz per cent.
Iran has an estimated 8 per cent
Of the worlds underground oil pool
beneath its desert. Under British pro-
duction, Iran is the fourth largest
producer in the world. It follows the
United States, Venezuela and Russia.
LOng-TeFm British Contract
For 40 years Iranian oil has been
extracted by the Anglo-Iranian Oil
Company, in which the British gov
ernment has controlling interest.
The Anglo-Iranian Company has a
contract giving it the sole right to
Iranian oil until 1898, paying for what
it uses on a royalty basis.
In the year ending March, 1850,
the company paid the Teheran gov
ernment more than 38 million dol
lars in royalties. It operates n wells
which produce about 100000 barrels
of crude day. The oil flows through
1,71S miles of pipeline to two re1n-
erles-one at Abadan on the Persian
Gulf is the worlds largest-where
British tankers take it to England and
western Europe.
Vital to Britain
This oil is vital to Britain. II con-
stitptes about one-fourth of its an
nlal needs. Much of it runs the Brit
ish fleet. Western Europe gets about
one-tenth of its oil from the Anglo
Iranian company.
But the royalties Britain pays are
small compared with the $3.50 split
on profits which the American-Arabi-
an OIL Company pays to neighboring
Saudi Arabia.
This has been a sore point with
lranians who, for the most part, are
desperately poor, illiterate and under
nourished. Since the end Of World
