1ussaud Wax Figure
OF Churchill Smashed
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, Feb. 18.-The wax
figures Of Prime Minister Church.
i'll and two members of his cabi-
net were smashed to smithereenS
by a man with a hammer at
famed Madam Tussaud's Muse
UNI today.
While a party of schoolgirls
looked on in horror, museum at
pendants grappled with the at
tacker and pinned him down UNI
til police arrived to arrest him.
The man was not Immediately
identified nor was his motive
made clear.
He was our first visitor of
the day." a museum official said.
HE went straight up to our
cabinet group, took the hammer
out Of his brief case and set upon
models of Winston Churchill, Sir
David Maxwell Fyfe and Peter
Thorneycroft.
Sir David is Britain's Home
Secretary and Mr.. Thorneycroft
is president of the Board of
Trade.
Reginald Edds, an official of
the museum, estimated the dam
age at 1000 pounds ($2.800).

for full benefits at age 90 after
six years of service.
Benefit payments are based on
the number of years a man has
served in Congress and has con-
tributed to the pension fund.
The compromise would base
the pension payments on average
salary since August 2, 1916, in
stead Of the average salary over
members entire period of serv-
ice. This would benefit members
who served when congressional
pay was considerably lower.
Another provision would allow
credit towards pension for up
to five years of military service
regardless Of when the service
was performed. Existing law
gives credit only for military
service performed after election.
Other changes make provision
for payments Of benefits to wi
dows and dependents of men,
bers who die while in Office and
for increased benefits to con-
gressional employees.

2Speeders Convicted
In HyatfsviNe Court
On State Police Data

Maryland State troopers took
40 chances in Hyattsville police
court today, and as a result, two
men were convicted of speeding.
Mindful of an acquittal Mon
day by Judge Theodore L. Manga
of a motorist accused of speed
ing, the troopers testimony in
court today went like this:
Il am a Maryland State po-
liceman. On (the date I was
on routine patrol in a Maryland
State police car -
Judge Manga acquitted a mo-
torist Monday. although the
State trooper who arrested him
testified the man was driving
at high speed.
Cites Omissions.
Judge Manga said today that,
the prosecution neglected to
bring out that the trooper was
in police car, or that the We
hicle's speedometer had been
checked for accuracy.
The judge said all the State
police have to do to have their
speedometer reading accepted in
court is to produce a certificate
from the State Roads Commits
sion secretary. stating that the
speedometer has been checked
and found accurate.
County and town officers can
take advantage of the same GER
tiflcate system. he said.
Mechanic Not Necessary.
It is not necessary to produce
a mechanic in court to testify
he personally inspected the me-
ter. the judge said.
The papers or cards made out
by the one who tests the speed
ometerS can be certified to in
one batch. the judge added.
He said another way to make
speedometer evidence admissible
is to bring out in testimony that
the testing was done in the nor
NAL course of business. That can
be done without producing me-
chanics in court, he added.

Teacher Shortage
Will Get Worse,
Educator Says

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., Feb.
S.-The outgoing president of
the American Association of
School Administrators says the
teacher shortage still is educa-
tons most painful problem.
Estimates of the annual need
for teachers to fill new positions
and to replace those leaving the
profession or retiring run to
125,000." Lawrence G. Derthick
of Chattanooga, Tenn. told
news conference at the aSsocia-
tons convention yesterday.
The six-day convention, at
tended by $4,000 school princi-
pals and superintendent, ended
today.
Mr.. Derthick predicted school
eArollmepts in the United States
will swell by about 9 million
more children between now and
1959-60. And for those new pu-
pills alone, more than $4,000
new teachers will be needed each
year.
High Schools Hard Hit.
An alarming new trend is a
sudden slump in the supply of
high school teachers. especially
in mathematics and the sciences.
Mr.. Derthick said higher pay
Is one sure way to keep more
teachers from quitting and per-
suade more young men and
women to enter the profession.
Mr.. Derthick, superintendent
of schools at Chattanooga, said
building of new schools is also
falling far short of demand.
During the school year of
1858. there were constructed
$4,000 public school classrooms
at total cost of approximately
81 billion" he said
But during the same interval,
enrollmentS increased by is
million. The net result was
that new construction was more
than absorbed by the need for
increased space for large enroll
ments."
Mr.. Derthick said the Nations
communities would have to
spend S26.6 billion in the next
six years Ito bring schoolhouse
construction up to date by the
school year 1959-60."
18 Voting Age Backed.
Yesterday the convention
adopted a resolution calling for
support Of President Eisen-
hower's proposal that the voting
age be lowered from 81 to 10.
The resolution said 1.-The pro-
gram of instruction and the par
ticipation of youth in the Demo-
cratic life of the school prepare
'students) for assumption of re-
sponslble citizenship"
Therefore, the measure said,
school principals and superin-
tendents should back the "Presi-
dents recommendation in his
state-of-the- Union message that
the right of franchise be granted
to citizens 18 years of age"
New Officers Introduced.
In a later session the new
officers of the association were
introduced to the convention.
They we're elected by mail ballot
and will take Office March Is.
The new president is Jordan
Larson, superintendent of schools
at Mount Vernon, N. Y.
Other incoming officers are:
Henry l. Willett. Richmond,
Va. president-elect; Omer Car
michael. Louisville, Ky, vice
president: Starr NJ King, Bev-
erly, Mass, executive committee.

Midway Leaves
For New Home

NORFOLK, Va. R-The aircraft
carrier Midway was en- route to
the Pacific today with a promise
from her skipper to "help stand
guard in the Far East" against
the Communists with quiet dig
nifty and strength"
1--WE pray that the Chinese Com
munists won't start fight - but
if they do we will fight back, ]"
Capt. Reynold D. Hogle told the
crowd of well-wishers who saw the
45,OOO-ton flattop off here yester-
day.
The Midway, which has called
Norfolk her home port for approx
imately 10 years, is heading for
immediate duty with 7th Fleet
vessels guarding the Formosa
Straits.
Coincident with her departure
yesterday it was revealed that the
carrier Coral Sea will follow her
to the West Coast in the spring Of
1857. Both carriers eventually will
be modified at the Bremerton,
Wash, naval shipyard, getting the
newly designed canted flight deck
as well as steam catapults for
launching heavy jet aircraft.
The Midway, which carries 5000
officers and men, will pick up its
air arm, Carrier Air Group 1, at
Mayport, Fla, on the way to the
Pacific. The carrier will report
for duty with the 7th Fleet about
the middle of February. 1t will be
the heaviest carrier ever to oper-
ate in the Pacific.

Educator Seeks
Popularize
Thinking Habit
By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
AP Science Reporter

BERKELEY, Calf. Up - The
United States must make think
ing popular" a university presi-
dent declared today. Too many
Americans have the attitude that
having brains is okay but mot
very interesting" said DR.. Lee A.
Dubridge, head of the California
Institute of Technology.
That is one main reason why
not enough students are becoming
scientists, at a time when more
scientists and engineers are badly
needed, he said.
The challenge is "to make think
ing popular, to elevate respect for
the thoughtful men, the scholars,
the intellectual" Zone effect would
be to induce more students to take
up scientific careers, DR.. Du-
bridge-told the American Assn. for
the Advancement of Science.
''There are plenty of smart kids
who do not go into either science
or social science or any other In
tellectual field.
"They drift off into the hard
ware business so they can take
over dads store. Worse still, they
drift into business or farming be-
caue they have never heard of a
scholarly career or what it offers
or else they have been told-with
tragic accuracy-that such careers
don't yield the sort of financial re-
turn to which every young man
would like to become accustomed.
The educator scientist said pay
Is getting better for scientists.
"We not only need more sci
entists, but at present and for the
foreseeable future there are going
to be paying jobs for them. There
is, in short, a gilt-edged money
backed demand formore scien-
tiSts."
