Message

anu girls HldkeS II necessary &c
add new schools as well as new
staff services each year. We
have made a special effort to
keep building costs as low as Is
consistent with the space needs
of the educational program and
with low maintenance require
mentS.
We are still faced with the
need to greatly expand the spe-
ciaI education services II we are
to provide suitable instruction
for all children.
The 1889 testing program
indicates, generally, children
with less potential ability are
not achieving as well in relation
to their ability as the children
of average or above average
potential. The test scores also
seem to indicate children of
greatest intellectual potential
need to be further challenged so
their achievement can be raised
even higher than is the case at
present.
All citizens should gain COM
plete understanding of the edu-
cational needs and the financial
sources which must be
brought into focus each year.
The report by DR.. James B.
Conant on the American High
School stressed the potential
effectiveness of the comprehen-
sive high school as the type Of
institution which would best
meet the needs of education In
this country. This conclusion
seems valid for Montgomery
County.
The report of the Self-Survey
Commission appointed by the
Governor of Maryland indicates
the quality and preparation of
the professional staff in Mary
land is uniformly high. Both of
these reports are worthy Of
study by anyone who seeks a
clearer understanding of educa-
ton.
The ascendency of the star Of
science, important as this sub
jest is, has blinded some to the
realization that the schools still
have a responsibility to provide
a balanced educational program
for all students regardless Of
their vocational goal.
We need to be sure all stu
dents are offered a program Of
studies which will give them q
balanced experience in the va
rious areas of human knowl-
edge. We must bear in mind
that our secondary schools are
not intended and do not at
tempt to turn out highly trained
specialists.
1t is also necessary to keep In
mind that it is not valid to
evaluate the Montgomery Coun-
ty school program in terms Of
the educational program that
seems to meet the needs of
another country. The aspira-
tons and expectations of citi-
zens in this country are differ.
ent from those held by citizens
elsewhere in the world.
Teachers are constantly IN
structing children in the basic
subjects throughout their school
life. These include the tools of
communication without which
no one is prepared for adult life.
Thus we need to evaluate our
program against the criteria
which we in Montgomery Coun-
ty believe to be important; and
evaluate In terms Of the abill-
ties, needs and interests OF the
students.
We have appreciated the fine
support of the staff of our

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
New Acc Nominee
Is NucIeor Pioneer

John Harry williams, nomi-
mated by President Eisenhower
yesterday as the scientist men,
Der OF the Atomic Energy Com
mission, is one Of the United
States pioneers in nuclear
physics.
He switched from the study
OF X-rays to nuclear research
when the science was born
back in 1888. Through the
depths of the depression he
was active in the early expert
mental work at the University
of Minnesota. where he had
Just become an assistant pro-
fessor.
DR.. Williams played a big
hand in the recent drafting Of
q proposed national policy on
atom-smashers or particle &C
celerators.
Committee Call
This was a call issued by
Mr.. Eisenhower's Science Ad-
visory Committee that the Gov
eminent vastly increase its
support and development of
giant om-smashing machines
described as holding promise Of
yielding numerous and fantaS-
tic results.
DR.. Williams, though not a
member Of the Advisory Com
mittee, is credited with a big
role in the groups findings.
And the handsome, we'll

liams is more than All academic
expert in the field. While at
the University of Minnesota,
he directed the design, develop ,
ment and construction of an
accelerator which still is the
worlds highest-energy device
in one particular category of
atom smaShers.
But he disavows this and
other accomplishments IN
physics as nothing spectac-
ular."
I've just had a leng num-
Der of wears of grinding away"
he told a reporter.
He also was associated with |
the historic University of Chi
cago experiments eliminating
in the Stagg Field atomic-pile
construction. Later he particle
pated in the development Of the
atomic bomb.
Chief of Research Contracts
Since he joined the Acc Is
months ago, however, DR.. Will

research. Most of his time has
been spent as administrator of
some 400 basic research con-
tracts the Acc has with uni
VerSities and private industries.

The race for a method of
converting the H-bomb explo-
sion into a controlled ther-

under his management since
he took a leave of absence from

Final Aid Bill
Accord Near
BY the Associated Press

A compromise $3.5 billion
foreign aid bill, tailored to
meet most Of President Eisen-
hower's requests, took final
shape today in a Senate House
conference committee.
The conferees meet today to
put the finishing touches on
a provision to shift military
aid funds to the regular De-
Tense Department budget for
a two-year trial period.
This was at least a partial
victory for the President who
had urged permanent authori-
cations for military assistance
aboard starting with the fiscal
year beginning July l, 1860.
The Senate had approved the
plan, but it was not in the
House bill.
Substitute Agreed On
The House confeeres agreed
to a substitute provision au-
thorizing such appropriations
for the years beginning July /,
1860, and July /, 1861. If ap-
proved by both chambers, this
would shift military assistance
out of the foreign aid bill for
two years and enable the Pres
ident to go directly to congress-
ional appropriations commit
tees for financing it.
All yesterdays actions were
tentative, and subject to change
before final action is taken at
todayS session.
The conferees agreed to an
authorization of STA billion for
military aid this year 500
million more than the Senate
voted and $40 million under the
House figure. The compromise
was 5000 million under Mr.. Eli
senhower's original request for
the purpose.
Abandon Provision
Still more important, from
Mr.. Eisenhower's viewpoint, the
Senate confereeS agreed to
abandon a provision in the
Senate bill earmarking $685.
100000 of the military aid
funds for NATO countries. The
administration had opposed
this in the fear that it would
unduly limit the amounts that
could be used for non-NATO
countries like FormoSa, South
Korea and other allies.
House conferees, on the
other hand, agreed to a two
year authorization for devel-
opment loans abroad, $500
million for this year and a
billion dollars for next year.
The Senate had voted to au-
Shorize appropriations of $3.50
million for this year, and SIPS
billion for next. The House
had voted $700 million for one
year only.
All foreign aid totals are
subject to further cuts in an
appropriations bill to provide
the spending money for which
the authorization bill simply
sets ceilings.

Steel Strike

FHidoy, July ", 1859

PITTSBURGH. July II (AP).
steel production loss mount
ed toward 500 million today
in the third day Of the Nation
wide steel strike. No end to the
Gripping shutdown is in sight.
Many more millions In wages
have been lost by 100000
striking United Steelworkers.
Quietly manning picket lines at
darkened mills.
Losses on both sides will
grow steadily. The negotia-
tons front is static.
There's little optimism on
the part Of strikers, the steel
industry or the Government
that the contract stalemate can
be resolved quickly. Neither
the industry nor the union has
given any sign Of retreating
from its stand.
Mediation Efforts
Federal mediation efforts in
the dispute will be renewed in
New York Monday.
David j. Mcdonald, president
Of the steelworkers, told pickets
at the Bethlehem Steel Corp.
plant in Bethlehem. Pa, yes
terday:
I'VE meet with the Govern
ment on Monday, but I don't
know whether it will do any
good. Up to this point, we have
been meeting nothing but mes
senger boys"
The strike at Tuesday mid
night shut of nearly 80 per
cent Of the country's steelmak-
ing capacity. representing about
800. 900 tons of ingot steel daily.
Weekly production loss to the
industry is estimated at $500
million. The loss to strikers in
wages is calculated at $40 mil
lion week.
Other Industries
In addition, allied industries
such as coal and transportation
have felt the strike keenly.
About $4,000 workers have been
idled due to business cutbacks.
Mr.. Mcdonald went to Beth
lehem from New York as part
of a union campaign to boost
striker morale. Howard r.
Hague, USW vice president,
was touring the Chicago area
while I. w. Abel, secretary
treasurer, was in the Pitts
burgh district.
The union president told q
cheering throng:
Industry never wanted a
contract. 1t never really made
us an offer. We did not want
to strike. 1t was the steel in
dustry itself that provoked the
shutdown :"
Return to New York
He indicated he would return
to New York today.
r. Conrad Cooper, chief in
dustry negotiator. was in Pitts
burgh.
Joseph Finnegan, director Of
the Federal Mediation and Con-
Citation Service. plans to meet
separately with the union and
industry Monday in an effort
to find a basis for resuming |
joint talks.
Mr.. Finnegan explored the
positions of both sides In New
York meetings Wednesday. He
said there would be no easy or
quick settlement.
Negotiations foundered on
the unions demand for in
creased wages and improved
fringe benefits. the industry'S
steadfast refusal to make any
concessions that would raise
labor costs.
Steelworkers had been aver
aging 1910 an hour before the

In Washington, President
George Meany pledged the
support of the AFL-CIO to the

said, had leaned over back
wards to avoid a strike.

We have been propagan-
died in the last few years
by what is euphemistically
called 'toPetherness." Mr..
Khrushchev's stunts would
give the impression to many
people that there is no valid
reason, except among highly
suspicious minds, why we
should not have togetherness
with the Communist con-
spirators. Even that, in it,
self, say those who dislike
the idea of a Khrushchev
visit, would not be particu-
larry harmful If it did not
lead to our letting down our
guard.
The prospects are that for
many years we shall be in
the red because of the heavy
defense spending and the
attending billions for foreign
aid. If we gained the impress

lible in that respect-as a
consequence Of the apparent

Turnpike Found Twice
As Safe as Other Roads

CHICAGO, July % (AP).-
The Nations turnpikes achieved
a shining record last year. De-
spite the relatively high speeds
permitted on such expressWayS,
they were nearly twice as safe
as other roads and highways.
Deaths on the turnpikes
averaged 1.3 for each 100 mil
lion passenger miles, compared
with 2.3 on other highways
and roads.
Allowing for fatalities to
passengers other than the
driver, that means the average
turnpike motorist could ex-
pect to cover about so million
miles before becoming in
volved in an accident in which
someone was killed.
The National Safety Council,
which made the study for its
statistical yearbook, accident
facts, said yesterday that 27O
auto passengers and drivers
were killed on turnpikes in 1858
More than $4,000 such deaths
occurred in cars and taxis else
where.
A highway collision, slip and
fall down a stairway. or a
drowning usually don't make
big headlines. But their COM
bined total has mounted much
higher than the toll from the
Nations wars and other great
catastrophies.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-28

Motor vehicle accidents alone
have killed 1,265,000 in the
United States this century.
This is twice the toll of 604,773
killed in battle or dead of
wounds in all principal con-
flicts from the Revolutionary
War through the Korean War.
Three famous disasters-the
Chicago fire, the San Francisco
earthquake and the Titantic
sinking-took a combined toll
of 2,l69. More than 40 times
that many United States resi-
dents died in accidents last
year, the study showed.
But the overall total of &C
cidental deaths is taking an
acual drop, despite the surge in
population in the last 35 years.
A total of $1,000 met death
from accidents of all types in
1858, or LOO less than the
1882 average of 92,100.
The Safety Council study
showed that Saturday is the
weeks worst day for traffic &C
cidents, followed by Sunday.
And teen-agers, as a group,
have been worse drivers than
the average. The 7 per cent of
drivers under 20 years of age
have caused more than IL per
cent of the Nations auto acct
dents in recent years.

plank:

nationality. 1t Sympathizes

In 1896, the Republican
platform had a plank saying:
The Armenian maSSacres
(by the Turks have aroused
the deep sympathy and just
indignation of the American
people, and we believe that
the United States should
exercise all the influence it
can properly exert to bring
these atrocities to an end"
Then, in 1900. the Demo-
cratic platform had a plank
expressing sympathy with
the efforts of the Beers Of
South Africa to gain lib

from British rule.
In 1920, the Democratic
national platform contained
a plank expressing its active
sympathy with the people of
China, Czechoslovakia, Fin
