BY GARNETT d. HORNER
Star staff Writer

President Kennedy today
asked Congress to increase the
Federal budget for the next
fiscal year by $494 million to
step up Government activities
ranging from the school lunch
program to propaganda for
Africa and Latin America.
This supplemental appropria-
ton request reflected several

camaign pledges made by Mr..
Kennedy.
He asked more money for
such things as the rural elec-
trification program, new starts
on watershed protection prof.
ectS, new power transmission
lines and farm loans as well as
increasing Voice of America
broadcaStS to Latin America.
The White House made clear
that the budget revisionS af-
fecting the Agriculture Depart
ment, Interior Department,
State Department and the
Unite d States Information
Agency sent to the Capitol
today by no means complete
the changes contemplated by
Mr.. Kennedy in the budget
submitted to Congress in jan
uary by former President
Eisenhower.
Increase for Agriculture
Mr.. Kennedy is working on
a special message to Congress
outlining all his proposed
budget changes. This had been
scheduled to go to Congress
Thursday, but White House
Press Secretary Pierre Salinger
said today there is a possibility
1t may be delayed.
The largest item in today's
request called for increasing the
Agriculture Department budget
by $442,429,000. including an
extra $40 million for the school
lunch program. Ito provide in
creased benefits to children in
areas Of acute need"
1 Nearly half of the proposed
increase for agriculture, $780,
929, 900, would go to the Com
modify Credit Corp. to repay
price support losses incurred in
1861. A nearly SO billion in
crease in CCC appropriations
for the current 1861 fiscal year
was asked last week to make
up some of the losses incurred
in 1860.
| Another $100 million would
go to the Rural Identification
Administration for loans to help
meet increased demands for
electricity in rural areas. The
Eisenhower budget called for
reductions in the REA loan
programs.
Boost Asked for USIA
An additional $84 million was
asked for Farmers Home Ad-
ministration loan programs.
Mr.. Kennedy proposed an $11
million increase in the United
States Information Agency
budget to finance expanded
programs in Africa and Latin
America.

BY the Associated Press

An official Of the National
Council of Churches said today
if Federal loans are granted
to some parochial schools, other
church denominations may ster
forward tor their share OF
Federal funds"
The Rev. Gerald E. Knoff
executive secretary Of the coun-
cil'S Division of Christian Edu-
cation, said if this happens "we
believe that our American
democracy would be impaired
by the increasing fragmenta-
ton Of education with it's in
evitable result Of cultural seq.
regation."
Testimony at Hearing
DR.. Knoff's views were giver
in testimony prepared for the
Senate Labor and Public We'll
fare Committee. which is con-
sidering the administrations
bill for Federal aid to educa-
ton. The testimony was re-
leased last night.
DR.. Knoff repeated the coun-
cil'S stand against any govern
mental grants to non-publiC
elementary or secondary
schools.
He urged that the admin
istration bill, which excludes
aid to such schools. be passed
in its present form.
THE public schools oi
America have long been need

DR.. Knoff said. The nationa,
council represents "a Protestant

Prediction of Passage
In a radio interview last
night Senator Morse, Democrat
of Oregon, predicted the ad.
ministration school bill woulc
pass in the Senate "Withou
any crippling amendment"
He said he considered thu
proposal for loans to non-pub

amendment.
Senator Morse said those wht

Senator Morse said he be-
lieved there should be a sepa,

He should NOT try to
master a new situation with
out help. Ask-it's a good
way to meet new people.
The simple statement, I'm
new here. Could you please

out the best in others.
He should remember that
a person isn't accepted by a.
group. Acceptance is by the
individuals within the group.
Make 1t an Adventure
He should try to learn the
mechanics of life at the new
school. Get a handbook,
meet the counselor and get
details on rules. Above all,
he should find a new friend
to lean on for details.
To start over in a course
with a different teacher and
textbook can be a challenge
rather than a problem. A
rapid review with the new
materials is the best APP
proach to the organization
of knowledge. According to
John Dewey, this constitutes
true education.
A student who enters a
new school may find him
self in an unfavorable posi-
ton so far as examinations
are concerned. Extra effort
is required, and it should
come Immediately. This
early and concentrated eff

It is perfectly natural for
a prospective change to

score tied and two men out
he hit an inSide-the park

Damon Runyon wrote a

homer. 1t was proudly shown
by Casey's fiancee, Edna

This is the way old

The warped old legs twisted

Have you ever figured
that you might find your
Golden Years in a carrot

A man named Floyd
Thomson did. And he may
have something. He's an in
dustrial engineer and was
retired in June at IS. He
began planning his future
about four years ago.
MY wife and ] had
thought for a long time,
he says, shat we wanted
to break away. We've lived
here 81 years. We also
wanted a small community
instead of the city.
More important than any,
thing else we wanted a re-
tirement home that had
income tied to it -. a small
farm that would produce a
cash crop, an apartment
house where we would
occupy one unit and collect
rent from the rest, a big
house where we could rent
out rooms or even a store
front where we could live
upstairs and operate or rent
a street-leyel store. -"
Mr.. Thomson explains
that he does not have COM
plete faith in his pension
and social security 1884 a

flation for it could increase
prices to the point where
1884 wouldn't stretch.
ut is not easy to make
advance arrangements for a
retirement home that will
give you income" Mr..
Thomson says. I'VE de-
voted four of our vacations
to the project while I was
still working and we got no..
where. We found a little
farm in Georgia that we
could buy for $4,000 less
than we could sell our city
home for. And we could get
some income off its land.
But there was nobody who
would operate it for us or
even watch it until the day
when we would retire and
take over.
I'VE found apartment
houses and store fronts both
in Arizona and California
and later in Florida. But we
needed something that we
could buy with the money
we could get from our home,
which was between SOS, 900
and $4,000. Property of this
value is not worth the while
of a local manager. And we

So the Thomasons re-
signed themselves to wait
until retirement.

Mr.. Thomason continues,
I'VE put our house up for
sale. Two weeks ago we sold
it, for a net Of $2s.25O and
with a grace of So days
before we get out. In these
two weeks we have bought

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: 1
have a daughter 9; three
years ago she was taken i'll
with rheumatic fever and
since that time has been
taking one tablet of penicil-
lin every day. The doctor
says she may have to take
it for years. What worries
me is this: The other day I
was talking with my neigh
Dor who told me it was dam
gerouS for my daughter to
take the medicine so long.
That it could cause a clot on
the brain or the heart. Will.
you please tell me if that is
true? And is it necessary for
her to keep on taking it so
long? She has been in the
best of health. I'm so con-
fused and worried that I
may be endangering her life.
Sincerely, Mrs. H.
BE THANKFUL that your
daughter is in the best of
health. Il assume that she
did not get a heart eompli-
cation after her attack of
rheumatic fever) Chances
are that taking the penicil-
lin regularly has saved her
from heart complications,
because this antibiotic has
held off any subsequent at
lacks of rheumatic fever.
/ Have her take the penicil-
lin as the doctor has sug-
gested-even though she may
have to swallow a pill every
day until her late teens or
early 20S. That's a small and
insignificant premium to
pay when you consider that
each one is a potential life
saver.
Why do you rely on back
fence advice? Why even
consider what a well-mean-
ing-but ignorant-of-medi-
cine-friend tells you to do
or not to do? Cause a clot on
the brain or heart? Ask her
where she received her medi-
cal training?

So you've moved! Well,

stride, and with your help,

Many people find that
their business or profession
requires them to make
frequent moves. Many worry
about the problems their
children face in changing
schools. Sometimes this can
be a valuable experience
for them. :
Moving to a new city,
living in a different house,
meeting new people; these
are all situations that re-
quire adjustment. The child
who learns to adjust to
change early in life can
develop confidence which
will prepare him for the
many changes in his future.
The younger child some
times has more difficulty
adjusting than his older
brother or sister, How well
he does in a new situation
depends largely upon his
feelings of adequacy and be-
longing to the family. Chill
dren who are secure in their
parents love and approval
can face new situations
without fear or damage.
Parents Hold the Key
If the parent provides the
proper support during the
change and provides guild
ance until the child has con-
fidence in the new situation,
the problems will never be-
come very great. .'.
Living in different places
can be a distinct advantage
for the child whose parents

Without parental help, he

child knows them. -

When the Heart Quits Work
By DR.. PETER }. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: 1t
is no longer news that sur
geonS can sometimes start
a dead heart" beating by
getting into the chest or
below the diaphragm and
masSaging the heart by
hand. I understand this is
called open" cardiac mas
sage. Lately, I understand,
there is a new method called
"closed-chest" cardiac mas
sage. Will you explain how
it works? Sincerely, Mr.. T.,
Alabama.
WHEN A HEART is dead,
we consider it really beyond
hope. No method of resusci-
tation will ever bring back
such a heart. But the re-
assuring thought in many
seemingly hopeless cases, is
that we can't always tell
that a heart is really dead
until we have tried every
thing We know to bring it
back to life.
When a heart stops and
breathing stops, we have to
work fast. This is so be-
cause brain, cells are very
sensitive to oxygen lack. If
oxygen is cut off for more
than a few minutes, the
brain is damaged beyond
repair. Due to actual heart
p Stoppage or a condition
called ventricular fibrilla-
ton Gin which the heart
can't push any blood at all
through the arteries) oxygen
supply is shut off.
AS you say, many patients
have been saved by surgeons
using open" cardiac mas
sage. The non-surgical or
CLOSED" method works like
this: Ideally, there should
be two people performing
the resuScitation. One to
blow air into the lungs of
the stricken person; the
other to massage the heart.
In a pinch. both procedures
can be done by one person.
The mouth must be cleared
of distractions and the
head held in such a way
that the patient doesn't
choke on his tongue. One
operator then produces posi-
tive-pressure ventilation by
blowing into the patients
mouth. Immediately, the
second operator messages
the heart; he presses down
hard on the lower part of
the sternum tbreast bone)
He does so at one-Second in
teryalS. four times after each
lung initiation. At the end
of a minute, such procedure
results in IL lung Invitations
and 48 heart compreSSions.
Doctors at Baltimore City
hospitals have used this
method Cor a similar one)
Comparing the open tech
nique to the closed, they say
that 1.-THE great advantage
of the closed over the open
technique lies in the fact
that the closed can be
