Lee M. Thurston, United
States commissioner Of educa-

949, 700 children will enroll in
schools and colleges during the
1854 academic year.
That would be 2 million more
than the previous record OF 34,-
993, 100 set last school year.
Mr.. Thurston praised the way
the American people "are doing
more than they have ever done
before for the education of our
Nations children" but in the
same statement he said:
"This fall the United States
will be short about 5000 pub
lie elementary and secondary
school classrooms. Three class
rooms out of every five will be
overcrowded. One out of every
five pupils will go to school
in schoolhouse which does not
meet minimum fire safety con-
ditionS."
He also said school construc-
ton is not keeping pace with de-
mands and not enough persons
are being prepared to meet teach
er needs.
The commissioner. said it was
estimated that private and pub
lie elementary schools will en-
roll 26,931 900 children this COM
Ing school year, with more than
three million entering the first
grade. Last year the enrolment
was 25,349.000.
The estimate for all secondary
schools is 100000 pupils, COM
pared with 7,028,000 last year,
and colleges and universities are
expected to enroll $500, 900. COM

To Enroll in Nations Schools

"it is estimated that there will
be 10 million more pupils and

and colleges. both public and
private, than there were last
spring"
Last year about $4,000 new
classrooms were built, compared
with $4,000 the preceding year,
to set new records. Mr.. Thurston
said, and another record of more
than $4,000 new ,cIassrooms is
expected this. academic year.
Despite this, he continued,
school construction in the
United States is not keeping pace
with classroom needs. Increased
enrollments, building deteriora-
ton and obsolescense will create
the need for an additional 425,-
600 classrooms and related fa-
cilitieS by 1860. About $4,000
are in some stage Of construction

SEOUL, May 1.-The United

today the 9th Fighter-Bomber
Wing has been equipped with
deadly F-86 Sabre jets, giving
the United Nations Command
four complete wings of Sabres

Communist armies along the
155-mile battle front observed
May Day-the traditional Red
holiday-quietly. There were
only a few minor skirmishes.
Brief Encounter.
The 9th Army brief1ng officer
reported two Chinese squads
probed a U. N. outpost on the
central front but pulled back
after a brief freight. Two South
Korean patrols reported killing
10 Communists in brief battles.
Correspondents trying to dis
cover whether the current lull
is linked officially with the re-
newed truce negotiations at Pam
munjom were told by a briefing
officer:
From our point of view it is
not particularly significant"
The May Day quiet was not
unusual. Records of the nearly
three-year-old war show the al
lies provided most of the action
on the two previous Communist
holidays. On May /, 1851, U. N.
bombers blasted open flood gates
