Thirty Per Cent Increase In Social
Security Taxes Called Necessary

sons in low income groups the
scheduled social security tax In
crease would more than offset a
10 per cent reduction In personal
income taxes also set for Jan.1-
President Eisenhower asked the
1858 session of Congress to cancel
the scheduled social security tax
boost. The lawmakers took no &C
ton on this, however, and the adj
ministration did not push the re-
quest.
Under present laws, the social
security tax jumps automatically
on Jan. from 3 per cent to 4
per cent Of persons salary, up
to $500 a year. Half of the tax
is paid by the emplOye and half
by the employer, so the individual
rate would 90 up from Ia to 2
per cent year.

Red China College
Professors Must
Hate. America
BY SPENCER MoosA

TAIPEH, Formosa 1-Reports
struggled from Red China show It's
easier to be a college professor
under Mao Tze-tung II you can
prove you hate America.
A Harvard-educated political sci.
enlist, Tsui Shu-chin, head of Chi.
|ang Kai shek's party planning
board here, says professors in Red
China are subjected to rigorous
|brain.washing and public "confes-
sions."
The confessions are standard In
style and substance. Teachers first
Idenounce themselves as worthless
for "false beliefs" In the superior
ity of Western ways, then follow
up with ELUSIVE praise of Mao
Tze-tung, Tsui explains.
AS a group, he says, educators
have suffered more than any other
professional people in Red China.
The Communists call their brain
washing techniques theological re-
FORMS" Tsui says. Confessions
must be brought to group meet
ings for discussion and If neces.
sary, rewritten until the Reds are
satisfied"
One mistake considered virtually
fatal by the Reds is a background
of study in Great Britain or the
United States.
Tsui cited the case of physicist
Chou Pei-yuan, who confessed he
considered his visit to the United
States in 1943 the most shameful
act in his life."
| Yu Te-yuan, vice president of
northeastern College of Geology,
admitted he at one time possessed
the false BELIEF American min.
ing methods were the most adj.
vanced in the world.

himself as cultural slave of
American imperialism"
The professors not only must de.
nounce themselves for having been
pro-American. but must also ex.
press determination to hate Amer
lea, Tsui saws.

Plans For Funneling US, Aid
To W. Europe Nearly Complete

WAShlNIUN vi - FlauS are
about complete for funneling US.
military aid TO Western European
countries through the projected
European Defense Community as
soon as it Is ratified.
This was reported today by gov
eminent officials who pictured Sec
rotary Of State Dulles and other
top officials as confident that the
long.stalled EDO treaty will be
finally approved in the next three
or four months.
That action would clear the way
for rearming Of West Germany,
the only nation which has ratified
it so far. Other signers are France,
Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands
and Luxembourg.
State department informants
said special agreement covering
the delivery Of American aid to
edo, being worked out with a de-
Tense community preparatory COM
mission at Paris, is substantially
completed.
In general it follows the line of
agreements required by Congress
with all the individual countries
receiving u. S. assistance.
In brief, the requirements are
that the aid must be used to
strengthen the free world, that
there be adequate publicity as to
the source, and that the aid not
be transferred to other areas with
out U. S. approval. Technical pro-
visions cover presence of Ameri-
can personnel in the areas where
weapons and equipment are re-
leased and used.
Officials said the agreement has
been negotiated in line with basic
u. S. policy, as laid down by Con-
gress in recent foreign aid bills,
that U. S. aid may be given to
international organizations where
that is desirable.
Beyond this, an amendment to
the bill passed last year specified
that only a portion OF the author
lied military help for Western Eu-
rope could be delivered prior to
the formation of the European De.
tense Community.
One result Of this distribution Of
military equipment through EDO
Is that it viii not be handed over
directly to West Germany. Off.
cials feel this should prove reas.
surfing in some degree to French
concerned about a revival of Ger
man militarism.
Another significance of the pol
icy is this: the mere fact that EDO
handles the volume of American
weapons for Western European
countries should help to insure its
future existence and strengthen
The chances for its success.
The understanding here now is
that all six edo nations would get

but that France In addition would
receive assistance under a separ.
ate program for its forces fighting
in Indochina. None of the other
countries, Of course, has a similar
problem.

We have learned the song "Ten

Kit which we use along with our
wOrkbOok and which was supplied
by the Century Club last year, has
set of 10 Indian cut outs. We play
number games with them.
The wOrkbOok has several pages
of numbers from one to ten. We
do much comprehensive counting
during school and these numbers
are learned and written after the
children have begun to understand
how many "2" is, etc. This num-
ber readiness program is equally
as important as our reading readi-
ness work which is constantly taxi
ing place.
The afternoon children received
a Valentine from Lynne Dickerson
