from its statistics are often mis-
leading. That is why the best

have recently begun to make sur

LIVING AND HEALTH STUDY
In Progress at University First
Project of Type in Country

kAOJOSo VI &JPC IA OOehAnJ
The Family Living and Health
Study now in progress at the Uni
versity of Delaware is the first
large project of its type in the
country. The findings are expect
ed to enrich knowledge in the field
of family welfare in general, but
will make particular contribution
to the knowledge of problems in
this field in Delaware. Since done
in Delaware, it will have greater
validity for the people of Delaware
than for the people of any other
state. The general plan of the
study is to investigate by the best
known scientific methods, how diff
ferent people manage their lives in
the community and why they func-
tion in the way they do. The pur-
pose is to understand the many
phases and factors which enter
into family life. The systematic
knowledge from such a study will
ultimately be made available to all
the people of Delaware either di-
rectly or indirectly, for purposes of
individual family betterment and
improved group living. OF course,
the findings will be in statistical
form and no information about in
dividual families will be released.

Senator Kefauver, Democrat, Of
Tennessee. warned tonight that
the Tennessee. Valley Authority
faces the same Congressional
knives and axes" next year
which nearly gave it "the death
sentence this year.
In an address prepared for de-
livery at a celebration of TWAS
twentieth birthday, Senator Ke-
fauver said:
"The death sentence for IVA
as we know it was decreed re-
Gently by the House of Repre-
sentatives."
But, he added, changes made
in the Senate, and later ap-
proved by the House, eliminated
the death sentence" He referred
to money for resource develop
ment in the iva appropriation
bill.
Cites Need for Support.
The Tennessee senator said
the "TVA issue will be back in
Congress next year-and we
cannot afford to relax.
1--WE have got to continue the
missionary work, lining up every
bit of support we can get be-
tween now and next year."
He also asked the continuing
enthusiastic support" Of the
Tennessee Valley people for the
iva power program, which. he
said. has been the victim Of "a
lot Of misconceptions" in Wash
ington.
One Of these he listed as the
fallacy that "TVA always over
estimates it's power needs"
Stresses iva Accuracy.
"The record is the best answer
to this" he said. The record
which shows that on the long
term estimates type that
count nj the utility business-the
iva has been nearer accurate
than any private power company
and always on the conservative
side"

French State Terms
For Indo.-China Talks
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 3.-France says
If Indo-China's Communicated
Wet Mini rebels want to discuss
an armistice they can do Sc
through normal diplomatic
channels. The French cabinet
warned, however, that any pro-
posals must be approved by the
French backed Indo Chinese
governments of Wet Nam, Laos
and Cambodia.
A Stockholm newspaper on
Sunday published a statement
from Wet Mini Chief Ho Chi
Mini in which the Moscow
trained rebel leader expressed
willingness to negotiate an
armistice in the seven-year-old
war.
The French statement, pub

fetal channel. In agreement
with the associated states (Viet
Nam, Laos and Cambodia), it
would be examined with a view
to re-establishment of a durable
peace assuring the independence
of these states as well as the
liberties and security of then
citizens"
The statement that the as.
sociated states would participate
in examining any armistice pro.
posals was believed designed tt
quell fears of non-Communis
Indo- Chinese that the French
might conclude a peace withou
