There was talk of football
and, of course, someone re-
membered how the late Huey
Long, The King Fish," once
used the Louisiana tick law
to bar the Ringing Circus
from competing with his
Louisiana State University
team.
Hueg liked to wear a foot
ball jacket and sit on the
bench with the players. When
LSU had a drive on, he would
run down the sidelineS fol-
lowing the team, whopping
for a touchdown, with much
waving of arms and pranc-
ing about.
The officials and the rival
teams didn't care for this,
but there was not much one
could do about Huey. He be-
lieved in self Qualification,
and he practiced it most of
his waking hours.
The circus story began in
nocently enough. Huey walked
into the athletic office one
morning and began to chat
with Red Heard, the director
of those days.
What sort of crowd will
we have for the Rice game
Saturday night, Red?" asked
Huey.
I'VE will have a good turn
out" said Red. "Of course,
the circus will hurt us some,
but we can do all right,
Senator"
What circus?"l asked
Huey.

here for two nights"
Huey thought about this a
few moments.

of Germany but also of
France, the Low Countries
and others, expected Mr..
Kennedy to act as the strong
man of the world-with eau
ton but determination. He
knew he had the unqualified
support of the NATO. At
first his speeches were well
received, but when they we're
followed by slow actions cul-
minating in negotiations, his
popularity dipped ba dly.
Stories we're circulated in the
European press that his
strong words were followed by
behind-the-sceneS deals for
an arrangement with Russia
at Germany's expense"
The sentiment OF Europe
these days is that without a
strong Germany the future of
all Europe will be dismal.
The principal concern of the
Europeans is that the Chief
Executive is prepared to &C
cept the "disengagement of
Central Europe" the pro-
posal made some 18 months
ago by Poland's Foreign Min
lister Rapacki as a possibility
for negotiations.
The NATO coalition is
stronger today than it has
ever been, and one Of the
reasons is West Germany's
re armament within the
framework of the NATO. For
the first time since its in
ception the Europeans are
definitely NATO-minded. But
to weaken Germany, as the
Communist bloc insists,
would mean the end of that
strong coalition. That is why
one hears so often here the
saying: Kennedy is ready to
sacrifice Germany to save
Berlin"

and performances coupled

Democratic Senators - have

It warned against trying to
export European or American
educational systems and meth
DDS to the poorer nations,
however. Each country. the

cational system adapted to its
own requirements.
The Western nations them
selves. the conference report
said. will have to double their
present expenditures on educa-
ton within the next decade in
order to meet the demands
from their own population.
Economies Growing
The economies Of most of
the nations in the DECD are
growing fast enough that this
additional investment in edu-
cation can be made without
cutting down on other expen-
ditures. the report said. On the
average, each country would
have to increase the share Of
its gross national product de-
voted to education by only !
per cent in order to double
the expenditures by the end
Of the decade.
The principal bottleneck to
educational advances in the
Western nations. the report
said. is the serious shortage of
teachers.
To remedy this shortage, the
report urged an intensive cam
paign to train more teachers
and make better use Of those
already at work. Changes in the

and even school architecture
will be needed. it warned.
