U.S.. Pupil Enrolment
Hits 46-MiIIion Peak

'pated enrolment in schools and
colleges four years from now
but a spokesman said it is ST.
1890 for the 1963-64 school
year.
There has been a steady in
crease in the proportion of
children aged IA through II
who attend schools, accounting
for some of the enrolment in
crease. Last october. 89.2 per
cent of the boys and girls in
that age group we're in schools
and colleges. Ten years ago,
8l.8 per cent were enrolled.
The 1959-60 enrolment fig
ure of 46,480,000 is 100000
higher than last years 44,540.-
900. BY comparison, the 1929
80 total was 20, 653, 900; in 1889
40 it was 29,751,000; and in
1949-50 1t was 81 $4,000.
Mr.. Derthick estimated that
1868 900 teachers will be need
ed in public and nonpublic
schools during the coming year,
with only 100000 qualified
teachers presently available.
A part of the shortage will
be met by former instructors
returning to service, Mr.. Der
thick said in a statement, but
the number cannot be deter
mined.
One factor intensifying the
scarcity of teachers is a turn
over rate of 1913 per cent. Mr.
Derthick said recent studies in
dictate that is about the proper
ton of teachers who leave the
profession each year. Previous
ly the turnover rate had been
figured at about rs per cent.

JuveniIeCourt
FateAwaited
Extra Judges Vote
Set for Tuesday

The fate Of Juvenile Court
legislation at this session Of
Congress will be decided Tues
day ct a meeting of o House
District subcommittee.
The bill to add two more
judges to the one-judge Juve-
nile Court has been resting in
the subcommittee since April
when it passed the Senate.
Some subcommittee members
said last night they thought
the bill has q pretty good
chance" Of favorable action,
but they emphasized that its
fate is still in the realm Of
conjecture"
The subcommittee chairman,
Representative Davis, Demo-
crat of Georgia, has given no
indication of withdrawing his
opposition to action on the bill
at this session.
Compromise Suggested
There was some speculation
that q compromise measure
would come out Of the SUBJ
committee meeting. Among
the proposed compromises are
q one-judge bill or provision
for two judges for temporary
appointments.
The latter suggestion was
made by Representative Dowdy,
Democrat Of Texas, who pro-
posed that two judges be ap-
pointed for two years while
revision of Juvenile Court laws
was under study.
Members expect the test will
come on a motion by Repre-
sentative Morris, Democrat OF
New Mexico, who has been out
spoken in favoring the Senate
passed bill.
Mr.. Davis has been contend
ing that he believes the Juve-
mile Court law should be studied
before any more judges are ap-
pointed. Some subcommittee
members, while agreeing with
Mr.. Davis that the 1888 law
creating the court needs revi-
sion. prefer to see the judges or
the bench now and the investi-
cation later.

President Assures British
He Wont Make Red Deals
Gives Pledge
In Talk With

WENDOVER. England. Aug.
2s.-President Eisenhower to-
night gave his pledge to Prime
Minister Macmillan that the
United States will never nego.
tiate with the Soviet Union be-
hind the backs Of its Western
allies.
The President offered this as
surance to the British leader
in wide-ranging discussions at
Chequers. the country home Of
British Prime Ministers. The
two Western leaders also got
down to considering ways Of
thawing the cold war by a bold
new Western initiative on dis
armament.
The Observation-Disclosures
exchanges were q prelude to
the forthcoming reciprocal
visits by the President and
Soviet Premier Khrushchev.
No Negotiations
Presidential Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty told 500
newsmen at a briefing in Lon
don that Mr.. Eisenhower and
Mr. Macmillan ranged over the
problems caused by Commu-
mist movements against the free
world"
He said the President as

a hope he has expressed pub

sometimes with their Foreign

was word that the President

Huge Building
Proposed for
Penfdgon
Revised GSA PIon
Asks Demolition Of
All City Tempos

A huge second Pentagon to
house Defense Department
units that cannot now fit into
the giant structure on the Po-
tomac shore was proposed yes
terday by the Government
Services Administration.
Revisions made in a GSA
building program also disclosed
plans to destroy all So Gov
eminent tempo structures by
1866.
The GSA, the Governments
housekeeping agency, proposed
that construction on the big
Pentagon addition begin in
1963-64. No site has been Sc
lected yet.
White House Offices
During the same period. con-
struction of a new White House
Office building would get un-
derway, according to the GSA
proposal. 1t would be erected
on the site of the present
te-War-Navy Building, the
ornate gray structure at Sew
enteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV. where the
executive Offices are now
housed.
The revised plan, if carried
out, would permit destruction
or disposal of 81 obsolete
buildings as well as the razing
of the tempos. The Govern
ment would be able to cancel
leases in SIS buildings. Cur
rently the Government leases
space in 100 buildings in the
Washington area.
Despite the size of the "a
acre Pentagon, the Defense De-
partment now has space in 81
separate buildings. Twenty-Five
of these are temporary and
eight are catalogued as obso-
lete.
The proposed Defense build
ing would have 2.3 million
square feet of floor space.
Such a building would be
third in size to the Pentagonr
the worlds largest Office build
ing, which has nearly SIS mil
lion square feet of gross floor
space and about 81 million
square feet of disable Office
space. The State Department
building will total 2,665,000
square feet when an extension
now under construction is
completed.
