Alvin c. Zurich, vice president
and director of the Ford Foun-
dation's Fund for the Advance
ment of Education. He advo-
Gates better utilization of the
teachers abilities and duties.
DR.. Zurich believes that college
teachers can do a better Job If
they receive adequate non-pro-
fessional help for the more
mechanical aspects of their
work.
All those interviewed by this
writer agreed that I'VE must
not permit our college stand
ards to deteriorate." Many Of
them warned, however, that
unless the public became aware
of the emergency that now
exists in higher education, the
standards would be lowered
dangerously.
Steps Required
To maintain and improve
present standards in higher
education. these steps must be
taken, according to a consensus
of informed opinion:
l. Long range planning by
each State and by the educa-
tional organizations. On the
basis of available population
figures, the States can antici-
pate the number Of high school
graduates over the next 10
years. and the expected college
growth.
2. Better utilization of exist
ing faculty and other college
facilities. According to studies
sponsored by the Fund for the
Advancement of Education,
considerable savings in the time
of the teaching personnel can
be made through the use of
modern teaching methods. More
responsibility should be placed
upon the student, through in
dependent or directed study.
8. Higher faculty salaries. A
study made recently by the
American Association of Uni
versity Professors found that
virtually all colleges paid made
quate salaries. A salary range
between $4,000 and $4,000
would help solve the faculty
shortage soon enough.
Greater Support
4. Greater State and Federal
financial support. Each year
100000 or more of the brightest
high school graduates do not
go to college. Most of them do
not have the money to go. This
waste of talent could be rem
edied through governmental
scholarships.
5. More support from bust
ness, industry, foundations and
other private resources. In the
last analysis, the problems fac
ing higher education will be
solved only if the public itself
takes a greater interest in them.
The boom on the campuses
will not be stopped. The Amer
lean people are sold on the
importance Of higher education
for their children. The strength
of the American democracy Is
directly related to the strength
and vigor of the Nations COL
leges and universities. What
helps one helps the other.

Let Merit Decide

Congress will find itself involved in
series of regional tug-of- var contests,
with political entanglements, If it at
tempts to designate any particular site
for the proposed 1864 Worlds Fair in
this country. To avoid such involve
ments, 1t should reject all measures
favoring this or that city and, instead,
leave the choice of fair site to an
impartial citizens committee.
I. At the present time Washington,
New York and Los Angeles are seeking
the observation-disclosures exposition.
New York City is pushing for legislation
which would clinch the fair for that
metropolis. Resolutions authorizing"
the President to designate New York
City for the fair are pending on both
sides of the Capitol Itmay be assumed
that West Coast boosters will request
similar resolutions for Los Angeles. 1t
may we'll be that other cities also will
enter the contest.
The best way to settle this inter-
city contest is by adoption Of Senator
FulbrightS sensible resolution, which,
first of all, would request international
approval for an American fair and, Sec
ond, would set up presidentially APP
pointed committee to choose the city
best qualified to be the host. As a
booster of Washington, we are satisfied
to let the Capitals chances rest on merit
alone.

Only One Safe Solution

President Eisenhower has shown a
commendable regard for good taste (of
our drinking water) and for the good
health Of the Washington Metropolitan
Area in blocking construction Of sew
age treatment plant at Dulles Interna-
tional Airport. In hating the threat 20
our water supply-for the time being at
least-he has given proper heed to the
storm OF opposition to the plant gen.
Grated by Federal, District, Virginia and
Maryland authorities.
The Presidents concern over the
possibility of sewage-fiavored water in
the Nations Capital and its environs
was evidenced in his statement criticiz-
ing the Objectionable sewage plant item
in the supplementary appropriations for
the new airport at Chantilly. First, he
pointed out that he had recommended
that sewage from the airport be con-
veyed by pipeline to the District sewer
system and thence to the down-river
District treatment plant at Blue Plains.
Then Mr.. Eisenhower said Congress "has
implied that 1t desires the Federal
Aviation) agency to build a sewage
treatment plant at. the airport" that
would empty its effluent into the Poto-
mac River above the District water in
take. This plan would run counter to
the warnings of the FAA, the Army En-
gineers, the District Commissioners and
numerous State and local agencies In
terested in safeguarding the river from
pollution.
Under the circumstances, the Presi-
dent was completely justified in direct
ing the FAA to hold up construction Of
the Chantilly plant, pending thorough
study Of the airport sewage disposal
problem. Federal Aviation Administra-
tor Quesada was asked to make a report
on the issue "as soon as possible" And
it should not take very long for Mr..
QueSada to prepare his reporter he
already has studied the problem and
has reached the same conclusion as
that Of many off1cial agencies, namely,
that the only safe solution is to pipe the
sewage to Blue Plains. That being the
case, pressure should be put upon Con-
greSs to grant the money needed to keep
Washington's drinking water free Of
airport sewage, treated or untreated.

Family Style Summit

BY practically any manner Of APP
praisal, it seems like a fine idea that
most of the Khrushchev family will &C
company the Soviet Premier on his visit
to the United States this month.
When Vice President and Mrs. Nixon
visited the Soviet Union recently, news
stories and pictures presented Mrs.
Khrushchev as pleasant and friendly
hostess. 1t was reported that she had
a considerable and open-minded interest
in the United States, that she knew
something of our history and that she
had conversational competence in the
English language. There were indica-
lions, too, that she is possessed of one
of the finest of wifely virtues, namely,
the patience to let her husband carry

A Break for HoodIums

Teen-age hoodlums in the Nations
Capital can breathe little easier TODAY.
thanks to a House District subcom-
mittee headed by Representative Davis.
Democrat Of Georgia.
For the eleven members Of this
subcommittee, meeting behind closed
doors yesterday, killed bill which would
have provided two additional judges for
the Juvenile Court. And not only was
this vote taken behind closed doors: no
one would state for publication how the
individual subcommittee members voted.
From this, we can only conclude that
those members who went along" with
Judge Davis are ashamed Of what they
have done, as well they should be; and
that they also are afraid to take respon-
sibility for the consequences.
The consequences, in all probability,
will be an increase in juvenile crime in
this city-a worsening Of a situation
which already is bad enough. The lone
Judge who presides over Juvenile Court
cannot possibly handle the business
which comes before him. The police
arrest a yoker and then pick him up
again few months later for some other
crime. Why is he on the streets? Be-
cause an overburdened court has not
been able to reach his case for trial.
Yet the Davis subcommittee shrugs its
shoulders and says this condition can 60
on indefinitely.
The excuse offered for the subcom-
mittee's action is that time is needed to
study the whole juvenile court problem:
that it is not enough to appoint more
judges. We think, although we hope we
are mistaken, that this is Just a stall.
At any rate, no effort has been made to
conduct such a study, no date has been
set for one, and 1t cannot possibly be
done at this session.
Finally, study or no study, the I'M
disputed and undeniable fact is that one
Judge simply cannot handle the work
of the court. Whatever the results of
the study, If a study is ever made, there
will have to be more judges. Mr.. Davis
knows this, and so does everyone who
has looked into the problem. But the
subcommittee, in Difference to Chair
man Davis, says that Washington can
not have the judges now, and this is bad
newS-bad news, that is, for everyone
except our juvenile hoodlums. They
have been given the green light.

Everybody's Space

No fewer than 500 delegates from "a
countrieS-including the Soviet Union
have gathered in London for the tenth
annual congress Of the International
Astronomical Federation, and they all
seem to have agreed on one major point,
which Is simply this: That space is every
body's business, that it cannot be divvied
up among nations, and that there
must therefore be a thoroughgoing,
worldwide cooperative effort to ex-
plot its potentialities for the benefit of
peoples everywhere.
In his special message to the gather
ing, President Eisenhower has summed
up the matter in these words: 1.-The
opening up of the space frontier pre-
SentS momentouS challenge to all ma
lions and peoples which can only be met
by close and continuous cooperation"
Certainly, as he has suggested, such CO.
operation is absolutely essential If the
great promise implicit in the reckoning
stars-the promise that spatial explo-
ration will lead to dazzling peacetime
progress-is to be brought to fruition
to serve mankind's best interests in
terms of spiritual, mental and material
advancement.
The same idea has been stressed in
various ways by all the participants in
the London congress. The distinguished
DR.. Hugh L. Dryden, for example, has
been especially emphatic on the subject.
Speaking as deputy chief Of our National
Aeronautics and Space Administration,
he has declared that the status of spa
tial vehicles in 1859 corresponds roughly
to that Of the airplane in 1905, and he
has counSeled that research in the field
needs. to draw on the whole world for
its ideas" The reason for this, as he
has explained, is that there Is every rea-
son to believe that the exploratory task
may soon develop beyond the resources
of single nation"
Accordingly, to meet the challenge,
the unofficial American representatives
at the unofficial meeting in London have
proposed the creation of an Interna-
tional Academy Of AStronauticS. Such
an organization probably could do much
to encourage cooperation Of the sort
advocated by the President and DR.. Dry
den, but 1t would be merely supplement
tary to the type of official agency that
our Government has been trying to
bring into being-through special COM
mittee studies in the General Assembly
as permanent branch of the United
Nations
AS matter Of fact, at its regular
session last year, the Assembly estab-
lished an eighteen-nation body charged
with the responsibility Of organizing Just
such an agency. Unhappily, however,
five of the members (the Soviet Union,
Czechoslovakia, Poland, India and the
United Arab Republic) have held them
selves aloof from the committees pro-
ceedings, and so the outlook is not par
ticularly bright. However, because of
what seems to be developing thaw In
the cold war, there is reason to hope
that the Kremlin will yet modify its
position and make possible the kind of
joint effort that will harness space for
the benefit of all-on both sides of the
Iron Curtain.

verted the law into q vehicle
which acts more as protection
for the criminal than as a

other youths are joining the

gentle the forces of law and
order are in handling the sit

been tied by foolish laws.
Congress should amend the
laws as follows:
/. Reduce the ages Of per-
sons entitled to be classed as
juveniles.
2. Where an offense in
wolves an unprovoked attack
upon a person, whether for
robbery or rape, let the Of
fender be subject to adult
penalties, whatever his age.
3. Authorize the Chief Of
Police to instruct his men
that when they are attacked
by gangs in force. they shall
use their guns, whatever the
ages of the attackers.
4. Make the issuance of
drivers licenses to men I'M

renewals Of such licenses
