Mounting reports OF corruption
In the municipal government of
New York City lead US to comment
today on the absence Of discrim-
nation in the metropolis. Corrupt
officials rob the rich and the poor,
whites, Negroes and Orientals,
Jews, Gentiles, Catholics, Protest
ants and atheists without thought
of race, color, creed or previous
condition Of servitude. When It
comes to stealing and otherwise
taking advantage Of the public,
non-office holders In New York all
get kicked In the same place.

First LADY
Picks
PusteIs

Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy
has chosen a wardrobe of
lightweight wools and silks
in pastel shades and white
for her trip to South Amer
lea ,this week end.
President and Mrs. Ken
nedy leave at noon today
with their first stop in
Puerto Rico tonight. They
will visit Caracas, Venezuela
tomorrow and Bogota, Co.
lombia on Sunday returning
to the United States on
Monday.
Mrs. Kennedy is taking a
new wardrobe with her on
the trip with the exception
of one evening dress.
This dress fittingly is
known as the "Casals dress"
in that it was the one she
wore for the recent White
House State dinner in honor
of the Governor of Puerto
Rico and Mrs. Munoz Marin
at which famed celloist
Pablo Casals played.
The chartreusSe full length
sheath of silk fashioned
with a beaded overblouse
was created by the First
Lady's official designer Oleg
CaSsini.
The new Cassini designs
include a yellow wool suit
with a yellow shantung over
blouse; a white silk wool
suit fashioned with a modi-
fled A-shaped skirt and a
long sleeve jacket, also a
white sleeveless silk linen
sheath dress with panel de-
tail both in front and back
of the skirt.
The two other evening
dresses Mrs. Kennedy is
taking with her have also
been designed by Mr.. Cassini.
One is a turquoiS floor
length silk tunic with bead
ing at the hemline and a
m a tching wrap-around
stole, also a short white silk
gazar fabric dress is trimmed
with white silk satin.
The two creations Mrs.
Kennedy is taking that are
not by Cassini were pur-
chased by the First Lady
from one of her favorite
houses in New York, Chez
Ninon.
One is her travelling cos
tune which is a white wool
coat with gray buttons over
a white and gray and silk
and wool dress. The other
is a white silk short eve
ming coat.
With the exception of her
travelling outfit, the White
House did not announce
what Mrs. Kennedy would
wear on her various ap-
pearances during the trip.

Euqenics Test Hurdle

SANTA BARBARA, Calf,
May 12 (AP.-A Harvard psy-

time devoted to studying the
human race has left a will de-
voted to improving it.
Method: Cash bonuses for his
two sons. Condition: They and
the wives they select must score
well on a series of mental-phys-
ical-character tests.
The will, admitted to probate
yesterday, got this reaction
from the widow of Truman Lee
Kelley:
I'VE pay so much attention
to our prize cattle, but we
haven't paid too much atten-
ton to the human race.
This is a step in the right
direction"
But DR.. Kelley's two sons had
varying reactions.
II see some disadvantages in
It," said his son, Kenneth, 81,
an Air Force second lieutenant.
For one thing, I don't want to
select a wife solely on the
standards he imposed in his
will. I don't want to place
money before marriage itself" 4"

Wheat Acreage
BY the Associated Press

Secretary Of Agriculture
Freeman today ordered the old
wheat-control program into ef-
feet for the 1862 grain crop but
expressed hope Congress will
authorize a more effective pro-
gram in time to make a change.
Acting under requirements of
present law, Mr.. Freeman set
national planting allotments Of
IS million acres-the minimum
permitted by the legislation
and proclaimed marketing
quotas to limit sales Of wheat
grown on the allotments. This
action had to be taken by
May IS.
This program has been in
effect since 1853 but it has
failed to prevent accumulation

when he instituted and authored
the will was to inStill in my
brother and myself a consid-
Grafton of eugenic aspects he
and I consider important.
(Eugenics is the study of selec-
tive breeding.)
Neither son plans to marry
in the near future, they said.
Both said they discussed the
unusual will with their father,
who died last May at the age
i of 76.
DR.. Kelley, a quiet, balding,
beSpectacled man, achieved
fame in 1923 as one of the
authors of the widely used
Stanford achievement test bat
terry. He served the Govern
ment as psychological testing
authority in World War II.
After. his retirement from Har-
ward about IL years ago. he and
his family moved to this South
ern California seaside city.
The will estimates his total
worth, including stocks and
royalties from texts. at about
$175,000.
Trust Funds Provided
His will, written in 1854, pro-
vides for two trust funds: One
for his sons and one for other
young persons whose marriages,
he believed. would result in
superior children.
Mrs. Kelley indicated that
the second trust fund was pri-
marily for able college grad
yates seeking advanced degrees.
To qualify for the money, the
sons and their prospective
brides-before marrying-must
give a group of trustees in
formation required to determine
the couples "E" (for eugenics)
score.
The "E" score would be based
on the pairs deviation above
or below the American white
population averages for health,
intellect and character.
Each point above average
would bring the son and his
bride $400; each point below
average would result in a $400
deduction.
The couples would get $500
a point for each child.
Questions in the tests were
not disclosed.
In addition to the trust
funds, DR.. Kelley bequeathed
half Of the remainder Of his
estate to his widow and one
fourth each to his sons.

years later, can strike a coin
honoring the valor Of the de-
