surplus food to needy people
overseas was initiated at a
special service yesterday in
Washington Cathedral.
The Rev. Bryan Green, canon
Iof Birmingham Cathedral in
England. called on more than
$500 worshippers to take part
in giving that little extra"
Christians are called upon to
contribute at Thanksgiving
time.
DR.. R. Norris Wilson, execu-
tive director Of Church World
Service, National Council of
Churches, pointed out that each
dollar given to the Share Our
Surplus program will permit
sending over 200 pounds of
American food overseas.
The service opened a Nation
wide drive for S865,21O to send
and distribute 300 million
pounds of surplus food over
seas. The campaign is being
sponsored by Church World
Service.
The worship yesterday was

aging. Another possibility is an
analysis of the differences be-
tween twins, a number of whom
naturally will turn up in the
sampling.
The whole project is DR..
Flanagan's idea. Several years
ago he did a similar study at a
Pittsburgh high school. He
realized then, however. that it
would have to be done on a
truly large scale to get sig
nificent data.
Preparations started about
three years ago for this sur
vey, financed so far largely by
"a $500,000 grant from the
United States Office of Educa-
ton to the University of Pitts
burgh.
The actual tests to be given
in March are new ones, but not
experimental. "They represent
the current state of the art, >
DR.. Flanagan says. They in
clude 25 types, ranging from
English: Effective Expires
sion" to Abstract Reasoning,
Mathematics" and "Crea-
tivity."
Each participant also will be
asked to fill out questionnaires
and data forms giving bio
graphical information about
himself and his family, listing

cross-section of their genera
ton.
And here is one of the intri-
guing points about the project:
Follow-up studies of these
same 100000 people will be held
at intervals for almost Is years,
One of the purposes, according
to DR.. John c. Flanagan, prof.
ect director, will be to deter
mine if the original tests were
any good.
The entire study should also
provide answers to such ques-
tions as these:
What types of school and col
lege-big or small, public OF
private-produce the most sue
cessful graduates in specific
| fields?
How useful are guidance
counSelors?
What does it take to become
a good artist or scientist?
"All kinds of little studies
will be possible from the data
we get," says DR.. Flanagan, who
is a psychology professor at the
University of Pittsburgh ano
president of the American
Institute for Research, which
has a Washington Office al
I6135 Kansas avenue NE.

subtle personality traits, such
as neatnesS and leadership.

Answer yes or no: if a girl
gets into trouble it's her own
fault" DR.. Flanagan says.
Last June tests with such ques-
tionS were given in Houston
and caused an uproar.
Published reports said these
tests represented a trial run"
of the ones to be used in Prof.
ect Talent. In fact his staff
supplied only a very few of the
questions, according to DR..
Flanagan, and of these, "The
only one people took exception
to was something about like
to soak in a bathtub, and we've
dropped that one now"
The actual names of the
schools will be announced in a
few days.
Eventually DR.. Flanagan
hopes to establish a special re-
search service at the University
of Pittsburgh to compile any
special little studies from the
expected mass of data which
sociologists and others might
want, but which would not be
included in the actual project.

The horse speaks for itself
in the study like this:
Exterior dimensions of the
auto are Six-by-18 feet. The
horse has exterior dimensions,
generously put, of about four
by-nine feet-little more than
one-third than that of the av-
erage automobile.
Average passenger load of
autos in urban areas is less
than two. Thus, two horses
having space requirements of
only two-thirds an auto may
have a practical capacity of Is

AS for speed, a car caught in
rush hours can't average better
than Is miles an hour-even at
a brisk canter.
"a horse can maneuver in
lanes half the width, of an
auto lane. Even the most vio-,
lent collision would result in
little or no injury to rider or
horse.
The danger of air pollution
from horses is Scarcely cOmpar-

Taxpayers would be burdened

Rail Patronage Analysis
From the Planning Commits
sion came an analysis of COM
muter railroad patronage from
Washington to Silver Spring,
one of the most heavily Travelled
corridors from the central busi-
ness area. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad schedules five
trains each weekday from Sill
yer Spring between $50 and
$50 am. and four trains each
weekday from Washington be-
tween 4 and $50 pm.
About 100 passengers take
the train each day and the VOL
ume has remained the same
for the last several years, the
study showed.
1t concluded that even in
creased rail service would not
eliminate the eventual need for
a rapid transit system. Any in
crease would require a public
subsidy and the patronage
could not be expected to in
crease unless subway or other
rapid transit were provided be-
tween Union Station and the
downtown section.
Freeways must be added in
this corridor regardless of rail
service, according to Commits
sion experts.
The automobile association
stressed that freeways should
be given top authority" as op-
posed to the overwhelming tes-
timony at hearings in favor of
first emphasis on transit.
Separate Rights of Way
c. c. Robinson, director of
the Virginia commission, said
that mass transit rights of way
for either vehicles or mono
rails must be separate from
major highways in Fairfax and
Arlington Counties. Private
companies should take finan-
cial responsibility for at least
part of the cost of such ex-
press lanes for buses, he said.
Responding to a committee
query on the anticipated high
way expenditures in Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
County up to 1880, John B.
Funk, director of the Maryland
Commission, said he could not
estimate past 1869.

THERE I WAS, the Signal

THERE I WAS, the Signal
Corps officer in charge of a
bpusted-up plane and no one
10 fly it. We shipped it to San
antonio and fixed it up. My
command was eight men,
and that was our entire air
force.
"Orville Wright taught me
how to fly it, and did not
charge for it. The plane was
bn skids and was launched by
p catapult. A weight falling
from a derrick pulled a cable
that started the plane along
the skidway.
81 put the plane on bicycle
wheels and we did not need
the derrick or the weight or
the skids or the skidway after
that. The Wrights finally fol-
Howed suit and put wheels on
their planes but kept the
Fskids.
\ Wright had told me that I
would be all right as long as I
stuck to the seat and worked
the controls. A bad air bump
Aalmost threw me out of the
seat, so 1 got the saddler to
make me a wide belt faS-
Stened to the back of the
seat-the first seat belt.
Things were slow at first.
The Army didn't add a single
plane in 1910. BY 1915 we had
IA fleet of nine JN3S. We were
at Fort Sill, Okla, and. when
we were ordered back to San
Antonio, we flew there. The
distance was 500 miles and
we made it in five days.
Then came the Villa raid
on Columbus, N. Mex, and
our punitive expedition into
Mexico. Our first assignment
from Pershing was to find
our cavalry. We found them.

Parents Must Face
Duty> Hansen Says
DepIores Shift
To Schools of
responsibilities
By ANDREW w. BINGHAM
Star Staff Writer

Star Staif Writer
A growing trend to delegate
basic parental responsibilities
to the schols must be reversed,
District School Supt. Carl F.
Hansen said today.
Schools must not become
welfare agencies, he said, ex-
cept to help the most under
privileged children. THE an
cient virtue of parental respon-
sibility ought to be re-estab-
liShed," he added.
During the panel discussion
on school health at the annual
Scientific Assembly of the Dis
trict Medical Society, the su-
perintendent came out strong
ly against working parents
turning over small children to
baby -sitters or any other
group"
Unless there is an economic
necessity, he said, the mother
should stay at home.
Occasionally he is asked, DR..
Hansen said, to authorize a
school campaign to instruct
youngsters about such items as
not watching TV too much.
Why Not Parental Control
The question he asks is, why
can't the parents do this them
selves?" the superintendent
said. What has happened to
parental control that it can't
be handled in the home?"
DR.. Preston A. McLendon,
also on the panel and a mem
ber of the District School
Board, added: Discipline must
start in the homeland not
just be handed over to DR..
Hansen here"
The superintendent outlined
the health and health educa-
ton program currently in use
here. Instruction in sex edu-
cation, started two years ago,
seems to be headed in
very interesting and fruitful
direction"
He also noted that better CO.
operation is developing between
school and Health Department
officials - cooperation which
several Of the panelistS en-
phasized was essential for a
good program.
Understanding Teen-Agers
DR.. William F. Burdick, pro-
feSsor of clinical pediatricS at
Georgetown University School
Of Medicine, outlined the five
basic characteristics of adoles-
cents which must be under
stood to provide teen-agerS
with whatever help they need.
He listed these as: An un-
yielding concern for self, a con-
Germ for his own state of growth
that makes even a minor blem-
ish a most serious thing" a
desire to lead a strenuous life,
a concern with his progress in
school and a concern for his
emotional development.
"An adolescent needs a stable,
warm adult back of him." DR..
Burdick said. He needs praise
more than censure."

Metropolitan Problems for its
