College Group Urge,
Tax Deduction for
Parents Of Students
Relief Is Held VituI
TO Roise Enrolment;
President Tolks Briefly

The Association OF American
Colleges today urged revision Of
the Federal income tax laws to
allow parents to deduct all or
part Of the cost Of college educa-
ton.
The action was taken at a
session which also heard Presi-
dent Eisenhower call for efforts
by educators to increase inter-
national understanding.
The President appeared briefly
at the start Of a luncheon and
spoke informally.
Includes College Heads.
The association, which includes
presidents Of some 700 colleges
and universities, in urging TAX
relief for parents said that this
is needed to stimulate college
attendance.
An increase in the number of
college and university graduates,
the association declared, is de-
sirable for the Nations welfare.
The educators did not specify
. proposal as to the amount Of a
deduction to be allowed, but they
said 1t should cover both tuition
and other fees. They also urged
that the deduction be allowed for
graduate students as well as
undergraduates.
Revised Last Year.
The income tax laws was re-
vised last year to permit parents
to count as dependents children
attending college full term, but
the association leaders want an
additional allowance. Spokes-
men said a bill is being drafted
for submission to Congress.
President Eisenhower, making
a brief greeting to the conven-
ton at the Hotel Statler, de-
clared colleges have an inn
portant role in training techni-
clans and in intoxicating respect
for Americas free institutions.
But a study of Americas ideals
and institutions is not enough
in the face Of present day world
conditions, the President de-
clared.
Pointing out that many of the
worlds peoples have ideas quite
different from ours, he asserted
IF we try to transplant our
methods into another area, all
we do is to encourage enmity. .
Educators must take the lead
the President said in acquaint-
ing Americans with the neces-
sity Of understanding others.
Association Resolutions.
Earlier. the association in
resolutions:
Backed extension Of selective
service. but opposed any per-
manent universal military train
ing.
Expressed approval Of the Su-
preme Courts ban on public
school race segregation, calling
it "a significant milestone in the
long road to equality and free
DOM"
Declared that academic free
dom for the scholar is part and
parcel Of the intellectual free
dom Of the citizen" and said the
exercise Of honest opinion is es-
sential on the college campus.

The restoration Of numerous
privileges as q means Of keep

services also was asked.
Re-enlistments Drop.
Commenting on the rapid
turnover in military personnel.
Mr.. Eisenhower said only 11.6
per cent Of Army personnel re-
enlisted in 1854 compared with
a rate of 41.2 per cent in l949.
Younger officers also are leav-
ing the armed forces in increas-
ing numbers, he said.
"Since 1949, there has been
one increase in pay which,
along with increases in allow
ances, amounted to an aggre-
gate advance in compensation
of ST. per cent" the President
declared. Military pay. never
theless, has fallen behind that
of industry.
In addition, supplementary
pay practices, health, security
and retirement benefits and
bonus systems are now wide
spread throughout industry and
this fact tends to neutralize
such advantage as the military
services had in these fields.
while the high turnover in
military personnel is costly in
dollars, even more costly is the
loss of experience and opera
tional efficiency which results
from It,"
Hazardous Duties Cited.
Therefore, the President said.
that in addition to the selective
salary rises (which Pentagon
officials will outline in detail
later there should be an in
crease in hazardous-duty pay
for airmen and submarine crews
and for men engaged in para
chute duty, demolition work,
deep-sea diving and certain
other specialties.
The President also called for
these additional benefits for
servicemen:
/. A dislocation allowance for
personnel with dependents who
are ordered to new permanent
duty stations.
2. An increase in the daily
allowance for temporary duty
travel from 50 to $12.
8. Additional housing for
service families in areas where
facilities are insufficient and
authority for reduced rentals
where personnel must live In
subStandard housing.
4. Removal of existing in
equities and provision for better
medical care for military FAM
lilies.
5. EQUALIZATION Of survivor
benefits according to rank for
both active and retired personnel.

awareness Of the perils of an
atomic war.
In the event Of a global war.
Mr.. Eisenhower said, the United
States could not count on time,
as in the past, to marshal its
strength but would be involved
from the outset in such a con-
flict."
Seek Training for All.
The program followed the
blueprint disclosed last month
by the Defense Department. Its
highlights include:
l. A national reserve plan
calling for military training of
all physically fit young men to
provide one group of reseryists
for immediate mobilization re-
quirements" and q second non
organized group available for
service in the event Of q gen.
eral mobilization.
2. A four-year extension Of the
draft. until July /, 1859, and a
two-year extension Of legisla-
ton. until July /, 1857. for the
registration and induction Of
doctors and dentists.
8. Strengthening the National
Guard by providing it with ade-
quate manpower, trained in the
active services.
4. Authority to permit States
to raise and maintain peace
time militia forces to take over
the National Guards domestic
missions and support civil de-
fense.
Called Best Approach.
Mr.. Eisenhower said these
steps represent "the best avail
able approach to the problems
Of military security and would
give the United States a proper
military posture" for the first
time IN peace.
"The penalties Of our unreadi-
ness have been manifiold--in
treasure, in blood, in the heart
break of a mighty Nation buy
ing time with the lives Of men. !"
Mr.. Eisenhower added. Nov,
in an uneasy peace. we can and
must move toward this proper
posture lat a tolerable cost. with
due regard for tradition. with
out disruption Of human plans
or the material economy"
The administration. aware Of
past opposition, carefully avoided
calling the reserve program q
universal military training plan.
But. basically, what Mr.. Eisen-
hover recommended was q mod
fed universal training program
designed to bring about "a more
equitable sharing Of the military
obligation"
A key provision Of the program
would provide for young men be-
tween II and 10 years Of age to
volunteer for six months Of basic
training to be followed by nine
and one-half years of active par
ticipation in the reserve.
Flexible Quotas.
The total number accepted in
this basic type Of training would
be subject to quotas fixed by the
President. If an adequate num-
ber failed to volunteer for such
training, the Selective Service
System would be given authority
