Air Shelter

The House Appropriations
Committee today rejected
President Eisenhower's request
for $2.7 million to build an
underground civil defense OPP
Grating shelter at Denton, Tex.
But it granted the Presi-
dents plea for SO million to
build new facilities and improve
existing facilities at the space
agency's jet propulsion labora-
tory at Pasadena. Calf.
In both cases. the commit
tee turned down recommended
tions of one of its subcom-
mittees.
The subcommittee had voted
to deny money for the Pasa-
dena project and to provide
81 million to build undergrou.r>
shelters at Denton and at Har-
ward. Mass. The President had
requested shelter money only
for Denton. The subcommittee
urged that new jet laboratory
be located "at an appropriate
site which will be more pro-
tected in the event of national
emergency"
The full committee, however,
on motion of Representative
Whitten, Democrat of MisSis-
sippi, turned down the under
ground shelter funds and,
on motion of Representative
Rhodes, Republican of Arizona,
restored money for the Pasa-
dena laboratory. Both actions

The actual casualty estimates
given to the subcommittee to-

by roughly one-sixth to allow

maximum possible apportirn-

These apportionments would
normally be made within the
next month or two, even though
the money would not be avail
able for another year. The idea
is to let the States know well
in advance how much they can
expect in Federal funds so as
to enable them to do the re-
quired planning.
Cutback Critical
The President called the
possibility Of a cutback "a
critical situation in our ma
tional road-building program,
and one which should give
great concern to every motor
list. We are on the verge of a
stalemate in the orderly de-
velopment Of our vital inter-
state road network" he said.
The Chief Executive based
his analysis on a report from
Bertram D. Tallamy. Federal
highway administrator. At
tached to it were reproductions
OF kilograms from highway
commissioners on prospects in
their individual States.
The tax increase has heavy
opposition in the House Ways
and Means Committee and
among key House leaders.
Democratic chiefs can't work
up much enthusiasm about
raising taxes of any kind with
an election coming next year.

Test results released the

the local system to be tagging,
at most levels and in most sub
jects, in comparison to ma
tional standards. The charge
was then made in several quar-
ters that "integration had low
cred the standards" Of the To-
cal system. Yet tests given that
year marked the first time
school officials had ever at
attempted to test pupils on a
citywide basis.
DR.. Hansen did not rule out
national comparisons entirely.
He said the general track could
be compared to such a stand
ard.
Results Given
The system, as test results
released today show, still is
below national averages in a
majority Of subjects. But gains
were registered in Is categories.
and levels were maintained in
three others. Losses, however,
were spotted through nine cate
gories.
Highlights Of the results:
First graders, tested in Sep
tember for their readiness" to
read after a year of kinder
garten, were five points below
the national standard.
First graders without kinder
garten experience were Is
points below.
Third graders, in relation to
national standards, showed they
were four months behind in
paragraph meaning, four
months behind in word mean
ing, three months behind in
spelling and three months be-
hind in arithmetic, reasoning
and arithmetic computation.
Fifth graders are nine months
behind in paragraph meaning;
one year and seven months be-
hind in word meaning, one year
and six months behind in Ian
guage, one year and eight
months behind in spelling, one
year and six months behind in
arithmetic, reasoning and one
year behind in arithmetic COM
putation.
Eighth Graders Behind
Eighth graders are two
months behind In paragraph
meaning. two months behind
in word meaning, six months
behind in arithmetic reasoning
and six months behind In arith-
metic computation.
Ninth graders are eight
months behind in spelling,
seven months behind in Ian
guage, five months behind in
arithmetic reasoning and one
year and one month behind In
arithmetic computation.
DR.. Hansen emphasized that
gains in most subjects have
been registered steadily since
the first city-wide achievement
tets were given.
The test results released to-
day compared poorly with those
OF sixth graders released several
months ago. Sixth graders
reached or topped national -
erageS in most subjects.
