NEA Urges
Rights Bill
For Teachers
BY the Associated Press

If school teachers had salts
factory working conditions,
they would stay with their
careers.
That was a primary finding
reported yesterday by the Ma
tional Education Associations
department of classroom
teachers.
The department, in a book
length report, said m any
teachers leave the profession
each year, and other thousands
shift from one school system to
another in search of better
working conditions.
The report says the explana-
ton lies in dissatisfaction with
such things as the hours of
work, problems of handling
pupils and. parents, limited
facilities, low income, and in
fringements on the personal
and professional ambitions of
teachers.
The report proposes the es-
tablishment of a teachers bill
of rights, calling for:
/. The right to professional
status.
2. The right to adequate time
and means.
8. The right to fair treatment.
4. The right to good leader
ship.
5. The right to security.
Under No. 2, the report said
the teacher is often required to
spend so much time on routine
clerical and even janitorial
services that he does not have
enough time for the main job
teaching.
No. 5 covers salaries, which
the NEA department said
should be at a level sufficient
to attract and retain a highly
qualified. career minded pro-
fessional staff.

Hunt On for Four
900 Miles at Seq

HONOLULU, Nov. 81 (AP).-
A sea and air search is under
way for a Navy jet plane with
four men aboard that plunged
into the Pacific 900 miles east
of Wake Island yesterday.
The Navy said the pilot had
radioed he was lost, low on
fuel and that the men would
Jump within Is minutes. The
pilot of another plane heard
the distress call about 1920
pm.
Names of the missing men
we're not announced. The
plane left WILDLY Island
(Wash.) three days ago. It
left BARRIERS Point Naval Ali
Station, Hawaii, yesterday en-
route to Japan.
Two Navy transports and five

The volunteer firemen of

the presence of the Oxide, the
UDMH spontaneously would
degenerate into marsh gas,
ammonia and nitrogen-plus a
great deal of heat.
Six separate fuel lines, each
with an opening valve and a
closing valve, led from the
hydrazine tank to two thrust
chambers, one at either end of
the payload. Each of the fuel
lines was connected to radio
circuitry that was designed to
make that particular fuel line
operate once and once only.
While there was no direct
evidence yet available to sup
port the theory, it obviously was
possible that one of the fuel
lines might have been acciden-
tally opened to feed UDMH into
a thrust chamber, thus pre-
maturely triggering a rocket
reaction.
The puny 20 pounds of thrust
impaired by the payload's pro-
.pulSion system would have no
measurable effect on the per-
formance of the big Atlas with
a total of 100000 pounds thrust
from its three engines. But it
would be enough to cause a
cataclysm inside the nose fair
ing and ruin the whole mission.
Whether thiS-or something
like it-actually happened re-
mains to be seen. Adamant in
their position that the second
stage had fired properly, Off
cialS here were particularly
anxious to retrieve a piece of
the nose fairing.
"It's like picking up wreck
age after a plane crash" one
scientist said. You never can
tell what you'll find"
Heat or flame damage to the
fairing would be a valuable clue.
The position of the soaring ef-
feet on the side of the fairing
also would tell a lot about the
n ature of the malfunction.
That's why the boats were out
searching for the piece of
cosmic flotsam.
Blow to U. s. Hopes
Whatever the cause of the
failure, it dealt a stunning blow
to American hopes for some
early, impressive first" in the
space race with Russia.
An attempt last Saturday to
recover an instrument package
orbited by the Discoverer VIII
rocket of the West Coast failed.
With the moon shot down, little
was left.
A Thor-Able with instru-
mentatlon for a so-called Ven
us shot" is scheduled for
launching here early in Decem-
ber. Though it will go out, if
successful. to the orbit of Venus,
that planet will be nowhere
near at the time, and thus the
popular impact of the feat will
be softened.
The main chronological ac-
compliShment hoped for by
American space scientists in
this shot is the establishment
of radio communications at
ranges up to so million miles.
But tor the present - Ger
tainly for a year and probably
for two - there is scant chance
of any American space accom-
pliShment that will capture
public attention as each OF
RusSia's three Sputniks and
three Luniks did. The reason
is partly money and partly
equipment.
There are no more Aliases
Immediately available and ap-
parently no hopes of getting
any more in the near future
unless one is diverted from
other projects now officially
labeled essential" And with
out Aliases which take two
years to order, build and deliver
or without bigger boosters
that lie even farther in the
future-America can hardly do
much more in the space game
than sit on the sidelineS and
watch.

to the fairing, would have con-
tinued upward and eastward
briefly before splashing into
the ocean.
The nature of the upper
stage failure and its cause re-
mains a mystery, at least for
the time being. There had been
hope that visual analysis of 70
millimeter motion picture film
taken of the launching by high
powered telescope cameras
might give additional clues.
However, an analysis of the
films showed they depicted the
flight of the rocket, and did
not show what fell from it.
Compromising the mystery
was the failure 10 seconds after
takeoff of remote control radio
signals called "telemetry, :"
which were designed to give in
formation on second stage per-
formance. The second stage is a
highly reliable hydrazine-nitric
acid rocket that has performed
perfectly II times in IL space
missions.
The NASA announcement of
presumptive failure of the
second stage was based on
lack of telemetry. But officials
who had been analyzing other
records here insisted that the
second stage did work, and
cited as proof of its perform
ance telemetry from the big
Atlas first stage.
1t was explained that 4
minutes and Is seconds after
launching when the SuStainer
rocket propelling the Atlas
burned out, first stage tele-
metry from accelerometers
showed a negative accelera-
ton"
Accelerometers are tiny de-
vices that record changes in
velocity. Negative acceleration,
scientists said, could be ex-
planned only in terms of a
backward push" impaired to
the Atlas by ignition and &C
celeration of the second stage.
Tip May Have Fallen
But there was serious ques-
ton that the second stage had
anything on it to push into
space. Authorities here specu-
lated that the third stage and
instrument package may have
fallen off at the time the fairing
separated prematurely 40 Sec
onds after launching.
Observers in favored locations
at the Cape clearly saw some
thing drop off the ascending
rocket yesterday morning. They
differed as to its appearance,
some believing the falling part
was aflre, and others that it
was glowing dull red.
Had the falling piece been
just the Fiberglas fairing it
would have neither burned nor
glowed. The materials of which
it was made were both nom
inf1ammable and temperature
resistant.
PrOpellant Inside Nose
This was what raised the
possibility that what one scien-
tist called that beautiful pay
load" may have caused the
trouble. At the very heart of
the 372-pound package was a
26-inch spherical tank contain
ing nearly 200 pounds of pro-

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

One night, when Violinist
Fritz Kreisler was dining in a
restaurant a woman stopped
at his table and said:
"The waiter told me that
you are Mr.. Kreisler. Are
you really?"
He admitted that he was.
"Would you let me have
your autograph" she asked,
placing a pad in front of him.
"Of course" said the violin
ist, taking the pen she Of
fered.
He wrote the words "Sin-
cerely yours" AS he was
about to affix his signature,
she gushed:
"This is a great moment
for me. We bought one Of
your cars recently, and I can't
tell you how proud we are to
own It,"
For a moment, Kreisler
hesitated. But only for a
moment. Then, in a firm
hand, he wrote walter P.

pad to the grateful woman.

p Whenever doctors get to-
gether to discuss their prob
lens. the subject Of malprac-
tice suits is sure to come up.
Damage claims by patients
are nothing new. For CEN
turies. doctors and hospitals
have been living with the
fact that their mistakes often
end up in litigation. What
causes concern these days is
the tremendous increase in
the number Of malpractice
suits and the size Of awards.
Since 1916, there has been
a $500 per cent increase In
the number Of suits and the
medical profession is shelling
out $50 million a year in
court awards and out-of-
court settlements. Juries
these days are capable of
eyaluating a permanent in
jury at 100000, particularly
If the defending doctor owns
a Cadillac. A California sales
man, the use of whose leg is
impaired by reason of his
physicians failure to dag
nose a broken hip, was
awarded $230.000.
AS might be expected, there
is considerable debate over
causes Of the increased litiga-
tion-and its effect on med
ical care. Doctors claim that
an increasing number Of suits
are unfounded and brought
solely for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning some windfall loot
through out-of-court settle
ments. They also blame legal
sharpshooterS whose dramatic
successes in medical negli-
gence trials have attracted a
certain amount Of unhealthy
interest in the subject. Some
physicians complain that ris-
ing fear of litigation makes
them too cautious. particu-
larly where some of the newer
techniques or drugs are con-
cerned. They feel that the

mind frankly to everyone-no
matter whom she hurts?
In a recent family argu-
ment my wife said some
harsh things to my sister-in-
law. I think she was right in
what she said. but she
! shouldn't have said it. AS a
result there is a family feud.
We don't visit one another.
We are losing touch with one
another.
I have begged Sylvia to
apologize or at least respond
to the invitations my sister,
in-law issues from time to
time, but she is the most
stubborn woman who ever
lived. Does it pay to have a
lifelong feud for no impor-
tant reason?
Sylvia F. My husband
may think it is mo impor-
tant reason" but it happens
to be very important to me.
My sister-in-law has hurt
me many times in many
ways and I have tried to
overlook it, but / can't go on
being a hypocrite.
1 was willing to take it
from that woman as long as
she didn't interfere with my
life. But when she had the
nerve to criticize me to my
husband for the way I man
age my children I felt I had
to tell her OF in a way she
would never forget.
I am not trying to keep my
husband from seeing his
brother If he wants to.
That's his business. But I
won't apologize because I
used a little bad language to
a woman who has hurt me.
The Counsel View
It's too bad Sylvia felt
forced to use "a little bad
language" She could so cas-
lily have kept herself entirely
in the right by telling her
sister-in-law in good Ian
guage that she doesn't want
her interference in her FAM
lily affairs and that she GER
tainly expects her to have
the good taste and good
sense not to criticize her to
her husband.
However, that part of the
damage is done. Now the
sister-in-law has shown she
doesn't want to perpetuate
the feud. Her invitations are
a clear enough indication
that she is ready to call it
quits.
When siSterS-in-law feud,
the real sufferers are in
variably the husbands. The
women get a certain satisfac-
tion about being stirred up
over something and over the
various points they score in
the campaign. The husbands
are torn in their loyalties.
1t is nonsense for Sylvia to
say she is not standing in the
way of her husbands rela-
tionship with his brother. He
cannot feel comfortable and
happy seeing his brother
without her. It implies dis
loyalty to her. This places
Frank in an ugly position
whatever he does.
1t is difficult to be a hypo-
crite, to smile and behave
pleasantly when one is seeth-
ing with anger. We would,
therefore, suggest that Sylvia
try to do a more difficult but
better thing-let love help
her overcome her anger. Her
love for her husband is the
force that can save her from
this foolish, destructive feud.
