Hansen Urges Addition
Of Week to School Year

A longer school year for Dis
trict youngsters became a def
mite possibility today.
At a press conference, DR..
Carl F. Hansen. acting super
intendent of District schools,
said the 180-day year the sys-
tenn operates under is at best
a minimum" He favors some
extension.
He pointed to other cities of
comparable size which operate
school years ranging from 1873
to 100 days. He said six cities
out of IA. ALI with populations
Of more than 100000, have
school years Of 1876 days.
DR.. Hansen said the need
for a longer school year arises
out of the increasing load of
material which must be taught.
He singled out two particular
suoJectS-Science and history
which are unavoidably length
ened by the passage of time.
Yesterday the board received
his recommendation to length
en- the next school year one
more week-but will take no
action until the community has
a chance to comment on the
proposal at a hearing next
month.
Other major recommended
tons for the school system
which DR.. Hansen said he would
bring to the board include:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-03-20

/. A repeat this summer of
rem edial reading summer
school.
2. The introduction of Rus
sian into the curriculum this
fall in senior high schools-if
teachers can be located.
3. Adding a summer school
program of basic arithmetic
designed along the lines of the
remedial reading program.
Yesterday, DR.. Mansen de-
cided not to name schools in
releasing city-wide achieve
ment test results.
He reported this decision to
the Board of Education, which
approved his plan to release
details of the tests at a special
meeting. He described the
meeting as a seminar"
The plan, he said. would
include a public meeting soon
after the test results are avail
able. possibly early in June.
Members of the Board of Edu-
cation, the press and represent
ativeS of organizations interest,"
ed in school problems would be
invited to attend the special re-
port session."
The purpose Of this type of
presentation, instead of sum-
mary of the results. will be to
do a better job of interpreting
the significance of the test
results, he said,

Men Dying Earlier
Dear Or. Steincrohn: L
write as a widow. My hus-
band died q few months ago
at the age Of as. He left me
with three children. II does
not seem fair to us-Or him.
Isn't organized medicine
doing anything about this
terrible problem? When we
read about it, we women
usually pass II Off---until II
hits home. Then II hurts.
Mrs. S.
We are we'll aware Of the
shoddy deal women get in being
left behind. For example, the
Health Information Founda-
ton states: Each year over
200. 900 more men than women
die in this country. :. Already
there are 100000 widows in
our population. and the num-
Der is expected to rise sharply
in years ahead"
There are two chief reasons
for early male deaths: /. They
are more susceptible to degen-
erative diseases (coronary heart
disease. etc. 2. They have
more accidents because Of the
nature of their work.
What are we doing about
it? We know, for instance, that
between the ages of 1924, male
mortality from accidents is 500
per cent higher than female
Therefore, there is an increaS-
ing awareness at industrial
plants and other places of work
and new safety measures are
being provided.
AS for the degenerative dis
eases; heart disease. kidney dis
ease. stroke, you have probably
been reading about the mass
investigation that is going on
all over the world to find the
cause of arterioscleroSis. When
that is found. perhaps the cure
will not be far behind.
Unfortunately. Mrs. s., this
doesn't tighten your burden;
but it does mean that your chill
dren will have a better chance
than their father had. All we
can do is work toward an end

SECURITY FOR YOU
Wage Freeze'Hin9e
On Full Disability

The years between 81 and so
when you had no earnings be-
cause you were disabled would
be used in figuring the average.
Naturally, this would greatly
reduce your average monthly
earnings. 1t would. in turn. re-
-duce the size Of your payments
at so since the lower your av-
erage monthly earnings the
lower your payments.
BY being able to put a wage
freeze on your social security.
you would freeze it as of the
time you were disabled. Thus,
the years between your dis
ability and your eligibility for
disability payments wouldn't be
used to figure your average
monthly earnings. This, natur-
ally. would result in the aver
age being higher and your pay
ments at so being higher.

FAMOUS FABLES

TEST: Automobile pioneer
Ransom E. olds began expert
menting with his first horseless
carriage at the age of TO-. work.
ing in his fathers machine
shop in Lansing. Mich. He was
regarded with amusement by
his fellow employees and by the
townsfolk..
To keep their comment at a
minimum. he worked on his
machine in the early morning
and after working hours. After
two years, he was ready to test
it. He decided to make the first
trial run at 3 am. when the
town was asleep. If it proved to
be a failure. at least no specta-
tors would witness it.
He wheeled the carriage into
the deserted street and climbed
into the drivers seat. When
everything was in readiness, he
threw the engine into gear.
The engine ratified uncon-
trollably as one sharp explosion
followed another. The metal
parts whined and clashed. The
carriage groaned and strained
and shook. Then suddenly.
with a convulsive lurch, it
leaped forward.
1t was fortunate, for the
citizens Of Lansing, startled out
OF their sleep. we're all watch
ing. 1t would not have gone
well with the young inventor
had the machine failed. From
then on, Olds was able to con-
duct his tests in the daytime.

U.S.. Asked to Pay Back
20% of Own DC Loan

of the city's authorized $23-
million payment.
The Commissioners insisted.
however. that the $l45.4 million
was the minimum spending re-
quired to maintain District
standards.
Costs Soar.
The sum is $72 million more
than the original general fund
works program set up, with
tax increases to finance it, in
1854. Engineer Commissioner
A. C. yelling pointed out the
bulk Of the difference was $45
million added for schools and
SIT million for a new munich
pal center.
The remaining SIC million is
made up Of bits and pieces
beset by . Il per cent rise in
the building price index since
1854, Col. yelling said.
Both the big additions to the
works package were questioned
by the subcommittee. Repre-
sentative O'Hara. Republican
Of Minnesota, said he knew the
ratio Of 30 pupils to one
teacher. on which school build
ing was based. was the ideal
Of educators. But he wondered
If Washington could afford the
ideal.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said many
suburban schools had the ratio
Of 80 to l in today's class
rooms. He said he was worried
about schools.
Schools are very important
in a democracy" he said. And
our schools are in pretty bad
shape"
Representative Smith indi-
Gated the Federal Government
would have trouble with its bid
for new construction on the site
Of the old District Building at
Fourteenth and E streets NV.
The SIT million municipal CEN
ter is NEEDED. Mr.. Mclaughlin
testified. because the Commits
sioners have been ordered by
the Federal Government to va
cate. Federal plans call for
completion Of a triangle of
government buildings there by
1860.
