ARMY CARRIES
NO INSURANCE
BY the Associated Press

The Army recruits killed III
the crash of a chartered plane
at Richmond we're not covered
by any insurance. unless they
had taken out individual poll
cies, the Army said today.
The CT insurance program
ended after the Korean war.
However, a spokesman said
in reply to questions. that some
payments to surviving relatives
would be possible.
Among these is a siX-month
gratuity pay, under which a
minimum of $500 and a maxi
mum of $4,000 is provided, de-
pending on the grade of the
individual. Since most of those
killed were recruits, these pay
ments probably would be mini
mum.
The law also provides for
payment of benefits to depend
ents, which amount TO SIP a
month, plus II per cent of base
pay. But, because most of
those killed were young, they
would have few, if any, de-
pendents.
Military personnel also are
eligible for Veterans Admin
istration benefits. with pay
ments up to $3.50 for funeral
expenses.

Gov. Tawes has made up his
mind to run for reelection.
Although still maintaining a
public silence, the Maryland
Governor gave his decision
Tuesday to a group of his top
level advisers and administra-
tive leaders.
The Governors only public
statement after the Tuesday
session was to the effect that
he had known for some time
what he will do but that an
nouncement of his decision "is
a question of timing"
Two other candidates already
are in the field, and the Gov
ernor's hesitancy to announce
had been interpreted by some
as a decision not to run.
The Governor probably will
announce his decision to seek
reelection within a few days.
The 67-year-old Chief Ex-
ecutive had a medical checkuI
about a month ago. While he
declined to disclose the find
ings, he confided to reporters
that from a health standpoint
there was no reason why he
should not run. The Governor
had an operation last year fol

testinal growth.

pected to have Attorney Gen.

Equipment Delayed

So difficult was the terrain
at the crash scene that the first
piece of fire equipment could
not reach the wreckage until
lO:45 pm, more than an hour
after the crash. One pulnper
truck got stuck.
A clear path through the
woods wasn't carved out until
armored cars of the Virginia
National Guards 1880 Recon-
naissance Squadron worked
their way through the under
brush and mud.
Thousands of curiosity seekers
walked to the scene, hampering
rescue work. Police roped them
off from the area and eventu-
ally used fierce police dogs to
hold back the throng.
On heavily travelled U. S. go,
nearest major highway, hum
dreds of cars produced a tre-
mendouS traffic jam which
held up ambulances rushing to
the crash site. Police needed
hours to unsnarl the mass of
automobiles that completely
blocked the highway.

The spokesman also noted
that the crash occurred in an

ABOUT 4 MILLION are in
formal night classes in the
public schools. Their teach
erS, the National Association
of Public School Adult Edu-
Gators, started a national
convention at the Sheraton
Park today.
A spokesman for that
group asked if the figure was
not too low.
That's the latest figure
we have and the one we are
using" said DR.. Caliver.
"In California" protested
one educator, I'VE have more
adults than children going
to school,"
DR.. Caliver smiled benign
ly on him.
California" he said, "iS
different"
Another man said he rep
resented one of the largest
endeavors in organized adult
education-that in the armed
forces. A total of 350,000
young men are taking the
equivalent of high school or
college education. Much of it
is on the college level around
the world wherever large
numbers of American SOL
dierS, sailors, airmen or Ma
rines are concentrated.
The teaching on the COL
lege level is under contract
with the University of Oma-
ha or the University of Mary
land. Maryland issues degrees
by mail but Omaha insists
the student be "in residence"
for the equivalent of an aca-
demic year before he gets a
degree. The students who
come to Omaha are largely
in the 30 to 4O-year bracket
and for the most part they
excel the young men of 20.

BUT OF LATE scientific
studies have been made on
this and it has been found
that an adult, who has been
constantly learning things
through his job, his family
and social life and, perhaps,
through reading, does better
at formal education than
youth.
Except" said Ambrose
Caliver of the United States
Office of Education, who is
president of the association,
IF it is a matter of learning
something that calls for
manual or visual ability. I'm
fortunately the hand and eye
lose their aptitude"
We didn't accept that, but
we didn't argue the point.
What about Grandma Moses?

They descended on the
campuses in droves. Many of
them were bald and broaden
ing at the waist. Many of

their teachers, who had to
hump it to keep ahead of
them"

The
Rambler
Is Told It's
Never Too Late
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler is seriously
thinking of going back to
school.
You see, he never gradu-
ated from anything-has no
degrees.
This lack of accreditation
of what it takes to get
along in contemporary life
often gets on his nerves.
He has a recurring dream
that he is, of all things, 60
ing to law school and getting
nowhere in tortS.
But it's all right now.
He has just learned that
all this can be remedied.
Yesterday he hailed a taxi
cab and took his problem out
to the Sheraton-Park, where
the Adult Education Associ-
alton was in session.
A meeting had been ar
ranged with seven leaders in
this field.
They were not only Sympa-
thetic, they were downright
encouraging.
"It'S quite common today"
said one, especially in our
large State universities, to
find parents graduating with
their children"
The Rambler had better
act on this with deliberate
speed or he will be going to
school with his grandchil-
dren.
For generations, they said,
it was thought that the abil-
ity to learn diminished with
age.
