this will present all sorts Of

critical shortage of teachers
at the university level.
It must surely be plain
to us all that we must be-
gin now to act. We must
somehow gather up the will
to face the facts. A few things
can be done. Entrance ex-
aminations for all applicants
at State colleges and univers-
tiles are long overdue. It. is
no longer good sense to crowd
the already overcrowded
classrooms and dormitories
with those who, after a few
months, will be dropped.
Screening examinations will
eliminate most, if not all of
these. The savings would be
great. -.
In California q system Of
junior colleges has proved
helpful. Only the top 10 per,

graduates may enter the un-

into a junior college and
demonstrate both the will

Senator Raps
Action on Oil

In a vigorous protest against
the increase authorized yester-
day In imports Of residual fuel
oil, Senator Robert c. Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia, has
informed President Kennedy
that the action will tend to
offset steps to relieve depressed
conditions in West Virginia.
In q telegram to Mr.. Ken
nedy, Senator Byrd described
as Shocking" the order Of In
terror Secretary Udall increas-
ing the import quota on resi-
dual oil from $50, 900 to $50, 900
barrels per day for the quarter
ending March 81.
Il am surprised and disap-
pointed that this decision has
been reached without prior
public hearings and /or without
invitation to coal and related
industries to be heard" the
Senator's wire read.
II have been prompt to con-
gratulate you upon fortnight,
humanitarian and effective
steps expeditiously taken by
your administration to allevi-
ate suffering and hardship in
depressed areas Of West Vir-
ginia. Today's action can only
subtract from the gains that
might be expected to accrue
from measures activated and
measures further planned for
alleviation of distress in my
State"
The Interior Department had
already scheduled a hearing for
Monday on the entire problem
of oil imports. 1t is expected
the new quota on residual oil
will be debated at that time.
Senator Byrd told reporters
a presentation of the whole
case will suggest the need for
curtailment' rather than an in
crease Of imports.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Question of Priority Over Latin America
And Africn Pondered by Some

by the Kennedy administra-
ton. Not only Germany. but
also the other new-rich
members of the NATO agreed
that something must be
DONE" This decision was ar
rived at not because of any
emotional sense of gratitude
for what we have done for
Western Europe in the last
is years, but from the un-
derstanding that Europe's
economy and finances would
be shattered If the dollar de-
preciated in world markets.
Hence, a number of banking
regulations were adopted in
Western Europe to discour-
age the flow of the private"
dollar into that area. This
was accompanied by the
quick Intervention of French,
German. British and. even
Swiss holders of gold when
the price Of the yellow metal
went far above the estab-
lished $35 an ounce.
The recent outward dispute
between Washington and
Bonn has been over the size
of the German contribution
in support of our weakened
dollar. The Germans have
offered us nearly 81 billion
in a package to cover our de-
ficiency for one year. Now,
apart from this, they have
offered to make 81 billion
available annually for aid to
underdeveloped countries.

to give. those nations vast
amounts Of moneys and in

This is repeatedly the tenor
of the conversations in
Washington between top

counter to the views of most
of President Kennedy'S prin-

Latin America and Africa
take precedence.
